Metroid is the series we're tackling during this year's Mentoktober. We'll be covering Metroid all month starting with the Classic Metroid era and the dark lore nestled within the core of Planet Zebes. We dive into the origins of Samus Aran, her tragic beginnings, and how she became the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter. Of course, I have to dive into Metroid's development story and how it became a thriving Nintendo franchise. Welcome to Mentoktober!
