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.

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!

SHOWNOTES: Ash and Zach finally explore the Metroid series for the first time on a main episode of Collateral Gaming, and our initial featured title is the 2002 Game Boy Advance entry Metroid Fusion! In Part 1, we discuss the Metroid series as a whole and where Fusion fits in, the advantages of linearity in this departure from the franchise in gameplay, as well as the thematic elements and production of fear and tension in this more narrative-driven game focused on Samus. If you enjoy this episode, please leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts (or feedback on your platform of choice), hit us up on social media, and stay tuned for Part 2 and an upcoming Metroid-centered Bonus Round!
