Episode 33 - Acceptable to Above Acceptable - Metroid Fusion

When Adam decided who would podcast, he chose incorrectly, Welcome
to NOCLIP and this week we're talking about Metroid Fusion, the
first GBA game in the series and one that attempted to add an
explicit narrative with dialogue and also dial back the difficulty
present in previous Metroid games. The result is a game that feels
very unlike its predecessors, but still manages to nail a tone and
be enjoyable to play. We talk about claustrophobic level design,
conveyance of tone, and a non-threatening bouncy stalk man. Thanks
for listening to the podcast this week and join us again in two
weeks when we talk about Bloodborne!
