SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, listeners! We continues our deep dive into Metroid Fusion in Part 2, where we continue to contrast the gameplay and storytelling style of this GBA title with the rest of the sci-fi action-adventure series of video games featuring bounty hunter Samus Aran. This time, we also predict where a post-Fusion entry could go, and discuss the larger impact of Metroid 4 on the fanbase and overall gaming community. And if you're ready for more Collateral Gaming content, it's officially the month of April, so stay tuned for our 4/20 special on Minecraft, a #420-themed Bonus Round episode, as well as our upcoming collaboration with Collateral Cinema regarding the Mortal Kombat franchise and the new 2021 movie in theaters later this month!
