We promised not to keep you waiting too long after our show on Nolifeand MO5.COM Podcasts are back to tackle a very different subject, the saga Metroid in relative slumber, but not seriously threatened. Two months after its thirtieth birthday, we are looking at a very special series of Nintendoas one of the manufacturer's mainstays, along with Mario and Zeldabut which has never enjoyed the same commercial success while being just as influential. or even more. To solve this mystery, we called on Christophe Malletthe author of the imminent History of Metroidwith our friends at Pix'n Love.
Exceptionally, however, it is not in our studio, and we apologise in advance for the sound quality, which falls short of our usual standards. On the other hand, Prof Oz came straight out of retirement as a former podcaster to La Caz Retro to join us for a look at a saga that leaves no one indifferent and is still the subject of much debate, as demonstrated by the recent remake Project AM2R...
From left to right: Jean-Sébastien Brugalat, Prof Oz, Pippeauletsu, Apo and Guillaume Verdin
The participants in this podcast are :
- Christophe Mallet, webadmin from Planet Zebes and author of The History of Metroid
- Prof Ozformer columnist for La Caz Retro
- Pippeauletsua new member of the team and prolific podcaster (HBGD, PixelGame)
- ApoMO5.COM's official troll and shadow blower
- Guillaume Verdinwho is responsible for the editorial content of the Mag, which covers news from the retrogaming
- and Jean-Sébastien Brugalatwhich also sometimes gets into a tizzy when our listeners express their dissatisfaction with the pace of our podcasts.
Bonus feature: the book The Anatomy of Metroid by Jeremy Parish with the help of which the driver was largely produced, and the famous " Y Cant Metroid Crawl ".
Erratum : The recording went on late into the evening, Pippo was tired and talked about a round of 24". Mega-Bytes "while Super Metroid occupies 24 Mbits (3Mb). He also tends to say "GBA" when referring to the Game Boy original, and finally Metroid Fusionis based on the Wario Land 4 (also a platform game) and not of WarioWareeven though the former clearly sowed the seeds of the latter's zaniness. Also, for the sake of ease of listening, we've cut out the part where Apo(inaudible as he was speaking without a microphone) resumes Belasco on the fact that Rocksteady is not an American studio, but a London one.
