Retro Studios absolutely nailed it with the music in the Prime series. I always pictured a choir of angelic Chozo looking down from the heavens, singing songs of lamentations for their failures, and begging Samus to finish the work that they couldn't.
Almost 20 years later, still sends chills down my spine. The visuals, the music, and how they sink them up is justnimmaculate, honestly one of my favourite intro screens in all of gaming.
The music combined with the "Retro Studios presents Metroid Prime 3" combined with the corrupted cloud of darkness overtaking the screen is absolutely fucking incredible, it NEVER gets old
This intro gives me goosebumps. I remember starting the game up for the first time on my friend's Wii 13 years ago feeling mysterious, mature and powerful effects from the game's perfect atmosphere. Really great work Retro. Can't wait for Prime 4.
It was a great year for gaming in general. Halo 3, BioShock, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, God of War 2, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Mass Effect, Portal, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, Guitar Hero 2, Rock Band, Team Fortress 2, Crysis, Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction, Super Paper Mario, Pokemon Diamond… So many good games. Take me back!
Beautiful music that describes the title of the game. Gives me the impression of rising through ascension from all your past journies but brought down by corruption.
I remember my brother and i use to just start the game for the intro and change it because we already beat the game like 5 times 😅 definitely one of my favorites
Metroid has definitely sealed itself as one of the legends of first person shooters (even thought half of Metroid games are 2D metroidvanias) Metroid, DOOM, and Halo are definitely some of the most important
This game was so awesome, man. It truly felt like it did ended after this, but Nintendo promised to do Metroid Prime Four, so i gotta ask: When is that gonna happen?!
And to think prior to Metroid Prime 1's release people were criticizing the move to a first person adventure shooter from the side scrolling adventure format Absolutely brilliant move by Nintendo and it paid off big time
@DarthHalo1 Bungie split actually, didn't get "let go". I do agree though, Halo does have better graphics, however, though it has good art design, Metroid's is better. What that amounts to is that Metroid looks better even though it doesn't have better graphics. Personally they are the best two trilogies of the last two console generations, so that's awesome.
@DarthHalo1 There will always be fanboys or fan girls there really is no point in arguing with them. They really only know their fanboy fangirlness. There are more people like us who can see the epicness of both series then there are of them who are only fanboys/fangirls.
@magepure0016 i do agree. Though Corruption is my least fav out of the series ( with Echoes being by fav). It seemed like with Halo it get less and less good as they went on. Metroid Prime Series stayed consistent. Halo CE was an epic game but after that they started focusing more on flash instead of substance while one of the many things Mp has always had is substance.
IMHO Metroid>Halo but I'm not going to go bashing anyone about their opinion. I love that little bit in the beginning where the darker cells all the sudden burst to life and cloud out the text.
@Zephanus It has better graphics because it is on a High Def System, The wii is only really capable of playing scroll sliding games suchs as new super mario, i think that metroid 3 has really out done it self in this perfect game, this game is original, it keeps the same story line, halo story line is like this, Halo 1 > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo ODST(Takes place AFTER #1) > Halo wars Before ODST!) and now reach it takes place before all of the previous games, metroid just follows through
@ThundergodxRaiden I can pretty much say that, but cool man! I myself am short a few games, but have beaten pretty much every single one at least once.
this menu screen just doesnt compare to 1 and echoes, those were iconic and eerie and mysterious. This just ends up being a jpg with a press a button. The music was good though, wish they put more effort into the loading screen.
@magepure0016 About the storyline that shit is confusing that's why I never wasted my money on anything past part 3 and for all intents and purposes part 3 was a waste of money.
@Segador128 I'm assuming you're saying that I've never played Halo? Couldnt be further from the truth. I have played and completed them all as well as spent a significant amount of time on multiplayer. Halo isnt even fit to wipe Metroids shoes.
Halo has atmosphere. The first one did at least. You coudln't help but feel you were trudging on this unexplained alien ring. You have to let a games atmosphere take you in to truely enjoy it.
Okay, as much as I love Metroid, your comment is misinformed at best. Halo came out before Metroid Prime, and the Metroid games before that were all side-scrollers, so Halo did not copy Metroid. Also, if you honestly think that Metroid's graphics are better than Halo 3's, you're blind (although, MP 3's are impressive considering the... limited power of the Wii). And don't forget, Microsoft let Bungie go (they're independent again). Could you please not be such a fanboy in the future?

That is a very interesting take. The chozo echoing their hopes placed in Samus? Sounds cathartic. Very clever.
The greatest first person shooter trilogy in the history of video games 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥........ Every game was a masterpiece
Ahem, first person adventure lol
1. Metroid Prime
2. Halo
3. Time Splitters
Agreed
And they weren't done with the bangers either. Prime Trilogy Title theme
Not sure about that
Almost 20 years later, still sends chills down my spine.

I don't know how Prime 4 will top this theme, but I'm sure Retro will find a way.
The music combined with the "Retro Studios presents Metroid Prime 3" combined with the corrupted cloud of darkness overtaking the screen is absolutely fucking incredible, it NEVER gets old
Even as a song by itself it's beautiful. I get goosebumps every time.
Chills.

This one is the best quality among MP3 intro vids.
2007 was a great year for Nintendo, first galaxy and now this masterpiece

So many good games. Take me back!
The feels as the intro music plays...
You've conquered MP1
You've ventured through MP2
Now... you're back again.. Let's finish this!
Except it's not over.. Not yet.. Prime 4 time!
Now let's finish this!
Hoping to end the Phazon threat forever.
Metroid prime 4 beyond was announced!
This is a truly amazing track.
I get radiating goosebumps that spread to every part of my body when listening to epic tracks like this one.
this intro makes my body so many feelings at the same time it's unreal. i cry and am happy at the same time everytime. every. time.
best game ever. i love metroid, i i' ve been following since the first metroid.
and this track, when i hear it for the very first time, i cried.
METROID PRIME 4 IS COMING
Still waiting
This comment aged badly
Metroid Dread Came
It's now here !! 🎉🔥
tbh i don’t even like metroid this much
That has to be the strongest intro ever. It is just TOYING with my emotions, and the game HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET!
the game was only 3 years old when you said this so i know its not just nostalgia saying this
You know, if they make another Metroid Prime, I would totally not fucking mind.
I would mind if they didn't.
Prime 4 Confirmed. :)
ljzero fernandez, yep just saw
*wish granted*
They making
Beautiful music that describes the title of the game. Gives me the impression of rising through ascension from all your past journies but brought down by corruption.
Chills down my back EVERY time, love it
I remember my brother and i use to just start the game for the intro and change it because we already beat the game like 5 times 😅 definitely one of my favorites
Bro this is just fucking amazing, its been 9 years since I heard this intro. Chills when listening to it.
this opening alone should convince anyone to buy this game most definitly one of the best experiences you will have on the wii
No me canso de escucharlo... DIOS MÍO!! Me dan ganas de volver a jugarlo.
Do it!
It's been 14 years already... I'm getting old... :-(
This game, this soundtrack is so beautiful
Best intro ever, out of Metroid and any game
Metroid has definitely sealed itself as one of the legends of first person shooters (even thought half of Metroid games are 2D metroidvanias)
Metroid, DOOM, and Halo are definitely some of the most important
I'm crying
The best intro theme out of the Trilogy bar none..
2007 and 2008 are the best videogame years....
The Best intro for me the world of darkness, the hope, the history i wanna cry
if they made a metroid tv series... this would be a perfect into O.O at least dor the final, very dark season.
Oh jeez... Love this game with all my heart.
This game was so awesome, man.
It truly felt like it did ended after this, but Nintendo promised to do Metroid Prime Four, so i gotta ask:
When is that gonna happen?!
it's like a metriod intro you would expect buy added in the background is a messy instrument jumble which shows the concept of corruption really well
this opening was so excellent. i think about it often
Necesitamos un remake o remasterisacion de esta obra de arte
And to think prior to Metroid Prime 1's release people were criticizing the move to a first person adventure shooter from the side scrolling adventure format
Absolutely brilliant move by Nintendo and it paid off big time
Damn that video is old
The music's amazing.
Dear Retro.
Would you please make another Metroid game?
Thank you.
The Metroid Fans.
Finally Happening. :)
No not really Retro Studios isnt developing Metroid Prime 4
Yes
@@nintenbetas now it is :D
Our prayers were heard
1:00 for hittin that note
My middle school years right here
Oh god this is sooo good. I want Retro to make another one.
Now they are!!!
Glad retro got their act together, now I have full confidence Metroid prime 4 can stand with the 3 greats
Me encanta esta canción. Me recuerda a los coros de las iglesias... ¡Pero me encantaaa!
I haven't played any video games for two years.
so, so beauty!!

Man this game is dark lol. Will always be my favourite wii game!
Who came here after prime 4 was finally announced.
Metroid has one thing Halo will never have. Atmosphere.
And Halo has one thing Metroid will never have ---- multiplayer
@@xReLentLess213 and two of them have one thing in common kick ass games
Cosmic Shadow24 metroid prime hunters
Ghosty yep
Ofcourse nothing like Metroid though :P
Hermoso mis épocas de secundaria. Jugar Wii y xbox 360 , halo 3 y Metroid
Epic music!
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is real
Gänsehaut pur
@b00ned
I think they both have atmosphere. Honestly? But Metroid does have quite a strong one, I'll admit.
@DarthHalo1 There will always be fanboys or fan girls there really is no point in arguing with them. They really only know their fanboy fangirlness. There are more people like us who can see the epicness of both series then there are of them who are only fanboys/fangirls.

muito massa essa música
@lonezergling1900 I'm agree Halo 1 was awesome.
looks the same to me >.> same as gamecube one
seph95 Really?
WHERE'S MY TRILOGY ON THE SWITCH
what is that bug thing in the menu background
@magepure0016 About the storyline that shit is confusing that's why I never wasted my money on anything past part 3 and for all intents and purposes part 3 was a waste of money.

@cooljoeguy I'm sorry
yeah :D macintosh ftw ! ... halo is just grown old, still a good game tho
MP1 and MP2 were some of my favorite games as a kid, never actually got around to playing three.
Is it easy to get as an emulator?
@@hgdfhgfdhjfg hmm... My wife still has an old Wii at her parents place. Might have to pick it up.
@@enthusia492yea do that
