Game Club #22 - Super Metroid


The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace...

Holy cow! We're finally doing another Game Club! In celebration of our 200th episode of the Player One Podcast and the upcoming release of Metroid: Other M for Wii, we are taking a look back at one of the most acclaimed titles for the Super NES, Super Metroid.


Despite all of the praise that Super Metroid has gotten over the years, the game is over 15 years old now. Does it still hold up after all this time?* Let's find out by playing it together! Bust out your old cartridge or pick up the game for 800 Nintendo Points from the Wii's Virtual Console.


We'll be discussing Super Metroid on episode 201 of the Player One Podcast, so get playing and share your comments and/or memories. You can post them in the comments section of this blog post, in the official thread on our forums, drop us an email, or leave a voicemail (713-893-8069). * Don't be a fool. Of course it holds up! Still, maybe you have...odd...taste in games and you're not a fan of Super Metroid. In that case, we really wanna hear from you.
