Abnormal Mapping 108: Metroid Prime

This month we return to the heady days of the early 00s when all
things seemed possible and Nintendo unleashed the Citizen Kane of
video games on all of us. What does Metroid Prime tell us about
American soft power in a post-war era? Not very much, turns out,
but it’s still pretty good! Thank you to patron Dan for bringing
this game to us and guesting on this long episode full of
platform love, shooting complaints, and general mood
appreciation.
