This year’s Metroid Marathon, the annual month-long livestreaming event, is happening a month early this year! Due to some scheduling issues, the marathon is taking place in September instead of October — meaning it’s already underway!
Also this year, the MDb will be taking donations during the streams, with proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Coalition.
Once again, I will be participating by playing through the original NES Metroid on Monday, September 16 at 9:00 pm CDT. I hope you can join us!
With this being the anniversary month of the MDb (launched on October 16, 1996), each October they do a marathon in which they livestream every game in the Metroid series. With the franchise now totaling 14 games, and some of them requiring quite a few hours to complete, that provides plenty of daily content to last throughout the month. This year, they have graciously invited me to be a part of it, and I am honored to have been given the prestigious position of playing through the original Metroid on October 16 at 9:30 pm CDT, live on Twitch!
As you may know, October 16 is also significant because it’s the anniversary of the launch of Retro Game SuperHyper (that was intentional), so it’ll be a fun way to celebrate. I hope you all swing by and watch, chat, and join in the fun!
I will be playing the game on original hardware — no emulators — and there may be a surprise or two as well. I’ve been training hard, playing Metroid 1 over and over, so that I can give you a good show!
