Metroid: Samus Returns 3DS Review – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 15

2021203 - Metroid Samus Returns Review Nintendo 3DS

Is it me, or does it really feel like the last few episodes have been a bit of a downer? Don’t blame me of course, for the Metroid series took quite a bit of a downturn for a while. Once the Prime series had completed and Retro Studios moved on to other things, it felt

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption Review Nintendo Wii

It’s 2007, and things are looking pretty damn rosy for Nintendo. To say that the Wii’s 2006 launch was successful is arguably the understatement of the decade, and the Nintendo DS was also hitting its stride. For the first time in a long time, Nintendo were absolutely ruling both the console and handheld markets. Even

Metroid Prime Hunters Nintendo DS Review – The Road To Dread, Ep. 10

Metroid Prime Hunters Review Nintendo DS

Following the initial console launch bundle of the Nintendo DS and the demo of Metroid Prime Hunters in 2004, players would not see the full game until 2006. Much like First Hunt, this first-person shooter takes inspiration from the two Gamecube Metroid titles, with a few changes to better suit the small, dual-screened handheld system.

Metroid Prime Pinball Review Nintendo DS

There comes a time in every popular gaming franchise’s life, where it must spread its wings and fly. To make bold new endeavours in an attempt to give fans more, keep its name out there, and hopefully attract new fans – Yes, even games sell out. For every Super Mario World, there’s a Mario is

So, cards on the table – I did a fair amount of thought on whether I should have done this video. You see Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt is not exactly a game in the fully-formed sense. However, after thinking it over, I do believe it should be covered in this series, even if this

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Review – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 07

Metroid Prime 2 Echoes Gamecube Wii Review

The release of Metroid Prime began what could only be described as a renaissance of sorts for the series. The massive success of Retro Studios’ debut title had cemented Metroid as one of Nintendo’s big hitters, and if you want further proof, I bring you one solid fact: Over the span of 8 years following

We’re around the halfway point on my Road To Metroid Dread, but we’re already turning around and already going way back to the very beginning of our journey, to revisit the very first Metroid game, recreated from the ground up in the form of Zero Mission. If you recall my review of Metroid, you’ll know
