Metroid (30th Anniversary) This week, Metroid Zero Mission is finally released on VC. Question from Erik Osborne: "Even though I’ve been a big Nintendo fan for a long time, I've oddly never played a Metroid game outside of a few minutes here and there. I've been thinking of playing through the series due to there not being a lot of games. Would you recommend playing it in order of release, or chronological order story-wise? Thanks, love the podcast." Will Metroid Prime: Federation Force return? Will Samus return in 2016?
