Hey everyone, Jerry Parris here to tell you that we are, as of today, T-3 weeks from

the launch of Metroid Dread, the first proper Metroid sequel from Nintendo in 19 years.

We're also just a few weeks out from the 35th anniversary of the series, and so in sconce

right here in between these two seminal events in video game history, we have a Metroid

episode of RetroNots called the Metroid Legacy, and we've talked about Metroid before,

but that's always been more structured, and focused on individual games.

This episode is much more of a free form, free association sort of thing, where we sit

around and talk about not only our memories of the games, but also the series' impact on

game design and its place in video game history.

It's a fun, nostalgic look back of one of the great pillars of modern video game design.

And this being in every other Friday, it's an episode that we've reserved exclusively for

our Patreon supporters, patreon.com slash RetroNots.

Anyone who subscribes to our campaign for $5 a month or more can listen to the entire

episode.

You can also listen to an entire backlog of other exclusive episodes stretching back a

year and a half, as well as about a year and a half of weekly exclusive mini columns

and micro podcasts by Diamond Fight called this Week in Retro, and there's also Discord

access, plus other goodies will throw your way down the line.

So enjoy this brief preview of the episode, and head over to patreon.com slash RetroNots

to soak in the full experience.

Unexpectedly Nintendo said, hey, we're going to make another one.

And not only that, but it's the one that they almost announced like 15 years ago.
