Episode 276 – How Metroid DEFIES the Games Industry
from Omega Metroid Podcast · host Omega Metroid
It's been a devastating month for the games industry; Unprecedanted amounts of layoffs in such a short period of time, multiple anticipated titles cancelled and some of the most tone deaf consolations from various people in power have understandably left a lot of us feeling empty. But in spite of the bleakness surrounding the games industry, Metroid, a series that historically doesn't sell amazingly well is still getting releases (including a certain one later this year!). Today, Doominal Crossing is joined by special guest Joey Ferris as they discuss the recent Microsoft layoffs, the state of the games industry and why Metroid is able to stay relevant in a climate that should theoretically be hostile to it. All this, PLUS Doom talks about Zelda Dungeon raising $12K for No Kid Hungry, his recent trip to the Nintendo San Francisco Store and the duo ponder what's happening with the next 3D Mario entry.
