Metroid is one of the most beloved series in gaming, and Super Metroid is a perfect example of everything fans want from Samus. Awesome upgrades, bizarre creatures, and plenty of exploration make this a true classic of the 16-bit era – and a landmark title in video game history.

Join us as we play through Super Metroid in all its glory. I'm on the controls, Reiner is hosting, Jason is producing, and the other chairs are filled by a rotating series of guest editors. So return to Zebes (Zee-bees? Zeebs? Ze-bess?) with us to take down the space pirates and defeat Mother Brain.

Episode 5 (Guests: Jeff Cork, Dan Ryckert)

Episode 4 (Guests: Ben Reeves, Dan Ryckert)

Episode 3 (Guests: Bryan Vore, Jeff Marchiafava)

Episode 2 (Guests: Ben Reeves, Tim Turi)

Episode 1 (Guests: Andy McNamara, Dan Ryckert)

My mouth, it is gaping.

Hooray! Now I'll actually see the parts of this game I can't get past!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

O_O

This is by far one of my favorite SNES games of all time. It's right up there with Final Fantasy VI, Secret of Mana II, Link to the Past and Mario World

Edit:

The mention of Gadsby the shrimp makes me think of Gentleman Cho from League of Legends.

Awesome! I've been waiting all day to watch this!

Great first episode! I actually like Joe behind the sticks on this one. His memory is phenomenal. Also the commentary and pestering between Andy Mac and Dan had me laughing the entire time. Keep up the fantastic work and cannot wait for the rest of the SR Episodes to air.

Best SNES game of all time!!! I can definitely wait for MML2 now that this is on the plate.

Super Metroid!
by douglasdfresh Thursday, July 05, 2012 at 03:15 PM

Nice Choice! One of my favorite games ever (not alone, I'm sure)! So excited, I think 2 drops of pee just came out...
by Nick Luda Thursday, July 05, 2012 at 03:16 PM

I'll definitely enjoy this. One of the biggest blemishes on my gaming pedigree is that I have never played a classic Metroid game. Definitely looking forward to seeing if Metroid is as good as everyone says.

Edit: Pretty good replay, though I still don't get why Samus was there and all of that stuff... I guess it's time to play the games or read the wiki.

Suprise super replay!
