On this week’s episode of The Legend of Retro, Xander and TheGlitch are joined by Dale (AKA a20sidedninja) from the Super OK Podcast to talk about Super Metroid. Is this a perfect game? Is Screw Attack the greatest item? How do you pronounce Samus Aran? Retro Relapse is a little fishy (though not for long), and as always we check in on the Robot Master Stage Theme bracket. Full disclosure, this episode was recorded well over a month before you’re hearing it and Xander has played a ton of Super Metroid since then and probably would have been better suited to host this episode now than he was last month. What a dweeb.
