    Episode 09: Metroid 2

    Come hang out with Kurt and Kenneth as they talk about the Return of Samus (with a healthy side of Nintendo Switch theorycrafting.)

    It’s a new year and a new system for Retrofecta! Kurt and Kenneth are back to start 2017 out with potentially the most difficult game to talk about yet as….we may just love it too much.
