I just started today and I feel the same. This game is letting me know that even though I’m still relatively new to Metroid, and even though Fusion kinda burned me with all the backtracking, that I made the right choice to dive into these games! Can’t wait for Dread!
@@GriffinX81 It is, but in Fusion it forces you to go the long way around when you reach the end even though every area’s entrance is in the same convenient spot. Why FORCE us to beat the final boss after getting the order instead of allowing us to explore at our leisure? That’s awful game design!
@@GatorOne-in7hk Fair enough. I think it was intended from the beginning to make Fusion a linear game, and it really takes the positive aspects of linear game design - the atmosphere and horror created by Fusion is the best in the mainline series imo, there is a steep skill curve, the game is pretty difficult and the boss fights are the best. But hey, everyone to their opinion, I just love Fusion a lot but if you don't that's totally fine.
@@ExtremeAce I had a better overall time with Fusion than Samus Returns. It’s just that going for all the items was too draining because of that one stupid choice they made at the end.
@@GatorOne-in7hk Oh yeah, I do agree. You really have to avoid any navigation room in order to 100% the game, and it can be annoying since you need to go through all the hidden entrances to different sectors, rather than being able to use the main hub. Plus there is the one Power Bomb Tank in the area where the lab got jettisoned, and you have to so carefully jump with the speed booster without shinesparking, because if you do you'll shinespark all the way up to the nav room. Also I might have misunderstood your previous comment so sorry for that haha.
When I first picked up the game, and when I listened to that music, it was one of the happiest feelings I'd ever had playing a new game. Such a fantastic return to form! Mercurysteam, PLEASE make another 2D Metroid!
@@novustalks7525 I'm curious if you still share this opinion after the Metroid Dread trailer since it too is developed by Mercury Steam and produced by Sakamoto.
The classic SR388 theme in Metroid Prime's soundfont. The moment I heard this play for the first time was the moment I realised that Metroid really was back from the dead.
Only issue with this track is that it's not used in more of the game. It's a crime that this only plays in one area-one which you don't ever have to enter again after the first time you clear it out.
The dev team who worked on this and Dread are honestly masters and real fans of the series. Glad to know this series is in the hands of the most qualified people for the job.
LYRICS, STARTING FROM 0:34 Forty metroids Set the counter I've got the skills And the power One by one they Each will fall Show no mercy Kill them all Delve into the planet Storm the caves And send the metroids Into their graves I'm the hunter Here today To make my mark Here to seize my prey
This sounds like “Now you’re ready. You’re now prepared to embark on your journey through SR-388. Go, Samus! Complete your mission with immense power and awe!“
The tone of this theme is very fitting to Samus' attitude at the beginning of the mission. From Zero Mission up to the end of Prime 3, the Metroids have been a scourge on the Milky Way Galaxy. Each of her missions in some way gets slowed down by their presence, so now she's full of pride going into this mission knowing that the Galactic Federation can't do it without her, and she gets the privilege of eliminating the Metroid menace by herself. Man, it's crazy how quickly the tone of the whole series changes at the end of this game when you find the Baby.
Indeed. :\ Samus realizes by the end that she had been no better then Ridley, when he showed up in K-2L. All that initial pride and glory turned completely sour when the Baby Metroid greeted her so innocently and cheerful, *similar to how she had initially did with Ridley when she was a child, before the Pirate killed her parents right in front of her eyes.*
@@MrDibara absolutely. And from that point on, Samus was the only person to understand that the Metroids were capable of emotions and bonding. They were created to be bioweapons, but when you let them be, they just live like a herd animals; they're not too different from a pack of wolves. One thing that I thought was interesting was that all of the evolved Metroids on SR388 tried to kill her but they didn't try to siphon her; they didn't see her as prey, they saw her as a predator. After Dread, we now know that part of that is because she part Mawkin, but overall the Metroids were attacking her like a mother bear would do for her cubs; not doing it for food, doing it to protect the family. I think Samus is the only person who will ever understand this; if she were to ever try to talk to someone else about it, they would probably laugh at the idea of a Metroid showing love. And now she is the last Metroid, and I'm sure only a handful of people in the Federation government know about this; If the military and the populace were to find out, they would probably want her dead.
I feel like when this came out, as you all know AM2R is a thing, they originally wanted to do a remake similar to how AM2R’s surface sounded. But eventually went with this theme to differentiate it from its non-official counterpart. Either that or they were always planning on giving a more technological sounding theme, as this remake focuses heavily on technology developed on the planet.
It's such a shame you almost never actually hear this theme playing. It feels like it only plays in one room, and not even on the surface when you get out of the ship. Once you've beat the first Metroid you've basically missed it. It just feels really sad that this isn't the main tunnel theme like it used to be.
So I was spoiled on a lot of the game. Including this song. But not when it would play. So when I started the game for myself and found this wasn’t playing from the get go I was confused and a little sad. Then I got my first Aeon power and when this song started triumphantly blasting from my speakers the amount of joy and enthusiasm I felt was incredible
AM2R's version is very good, but it feels a lot more relaxed than what I'd expect for an adventurous theme. This one goes very hard and I love that. The main part is just so good, and AM2R's version just doesn't have anything that can compete with that.
I don't like that the AM2R version tries to make the song about the area enviroment. That's what a lot of Metroid songs do already, and uh... yup, the AM2R remix sure sounds like a Metroid song. At least this feels like it was trying to send the same message as was intended by the original. "You fought the Metroids, now it's time for the Metroids to fight YOU"
I'd rather see Fusion get a remake, I like Super and all but I'd love seeing how a studio such as Mercurysteam can translate Metroid Fusion's superb atmosphere to an HD remake, not that it needs one, but it'd be lovely to see
I really love that there are 2 remakes of both this game and soundtrack. The official DS version and AM2R. Both great remakes that both have their own character they add to the original game and soundtrack.
"Samus, Do you Copy? What, you already Killed a Metroid?! Well then, it's still very early in the mission, but I have Confidence in your ability to rid the Galaxy of this threat, Good luck Ms. Aran. Who am I you ask? Well, let's just say I'm an old friend of yours, hehe."
I feel you man! I think the main melody was very subtle. I think it was very minimalist. The effect of the main melody sounds has some echo or delay. This is an amazing song on the original, honestly I didn't expect an 8-bit song to be this cool when I was 11.
I don’t understand why people seem to think the original was better. Absolutely nothing could possibly be worse than the failed abortion that is Metroid II on the Nintendo Gameboy. I would rather have terminal brain cancer than have to play that awful terrible game for another microsecond. If you told me Satan was responsible for the creation of one thing on this planet, and you then told me it was Metroid II for the Nintendo Gameboy, I’d believe you. After playing that wretched game (I use the term “game” very loosely here), I feel like that thing murdered my family and burned down my house.
I prefer the game boy version over this I was hoping they leaned into the theme instead of away from it and hiding it a bit under the metriod prime vibe Oh well
It doesn't have the Jasmine ballsax vibes that the original had with frog music. No no no no no. This is portbinda and ghetto as hell. The 1991 version was better and had more innovative riffs. You might as well have Travis Scott rap over this, that's how ghetto this is.. IIIIIIIIIII'M GONNA THROW UP NOOOW!
The box ain’t lie: Samus Returned and now she is gonna kick some ass in Metroid Dread!!
She sure did
this comment aged like fine wine bravo
aged rly well :D
She just forgot to chew bubblegum. 😂
and kick ass she did. to put it lightly.
Just started playing yesterday and this theme SLAPS HARD. The game is amazing too.

My first metroid game. And it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time.
İ played Zero mission,fusion,super metroid and finally played ramus returns the best game series ever!!!
@@osmanayvaz6041 now you should play them in order from Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super, then Fusion. And just in time for Dread
That's funny, because the original was my first Metroid game.
Your gonna love ZM and Fusion
I hope you went back and played more of em haha!
This song’s so fucking good dude
One of IF NOT my favorite “overworld” theme ever
No Metroid song gives me the same feeling as Surface of SR388 does. It’s a song so full of energy that fits Metroid perfectly!
The theme of 100% map completion. Just mix in the sounds of Samus constantly space jumping.
When I first picked up the game, and when I listened to that music, it was one of the happiest feelings I'd ever had playing a new game. Such a fantastic return to form! Mercurysteam, PLEASE make another 2D Metroid!
Pretty sure the rumored 2d metroid for the switch is actually from mercurysteam
@@EL1TEOnRUclips Let's hope the rumors are true!
Mercury steam should never be allowed near Metroid again. This game was utterly disgraceful and lacked anything reminiscent of a real Metroid game.

This kind of music is something Dread really lacks.
The classic SR388 theme in Metroid Prime's soundfont. The moment I heard this play for the first time was the moment I realised that Metroid really was back from the dead.
it really did make me believe.
It's arranged in a somewhat similar style, but I don't think you know what soundfont actually means.
One hell of a rendition of one of the best songs in the franchise!!!
Oh how i longed for a new godamn actually good metroid game!
The announcement and the release were so close, still can't believe I'm playing it this year!
Sundowner the invincible 10 years
Genoson 31 actually I really loved prime, the whole series, and the unspoken game we shall never speak of was released 7 years ago
Sundowner the invincible Prime 3 was released 10 years ago.
Sundowner the invincible Oh wait never mind. I just realized what you said sorry.
Only issue with this track is that it's not used in more of the game.
It's a crime that this only plays in one area-one which you don't ever have to enter again after the first time you clear it out.
I am a good way through Dread and Super. Fusion, Seamus Returns, and Zero mission are all on my bucket list. And I can say, I LOVE Metroid.
fusion was my first metroid game ever and it made me love the franchise. enjoy them!
Fully agree but I also like how your comment implies an irish bounty hunter named Seamus Aran exists.

"I don't really have any strong opinions about anything."
"Surface of SR388 is terrible in the remake"
*peacefully loads gun*
It is.
It's at least worse than the original
I like the original slightly better but this version is also great
@@thisisasupersayin376How can anything be worse than the failed abortion that is Metroid II for the Gameboy?
Dat intro tho
Samus Returns and Dread were great games to play through, and they were quite challenging.
This honestly sounds like something from the Metroid Prime series post-Metroid Prime and I love it so god damn much!
Would it be weird if I cranked the speakers and started playing this at a party?
it's only weird if you think it's weird, because thinking it's weird is weird. Playing it at a party is not.
Pretty sure there’s a tonne of Techno and Such inspired by Video Game OST So probably not?
Not at all, bro!
Imagine an EDM party with Metroid tunes only
DO IT!
bruh why weren't there any songs like this in Metroid Dread
The Nostalgia!
I love this remix. It needs a little more strength though. It feels more upbeat in the original game.
Such a badass upgrade to the already pretty awesome original theme!
It's hard to top perfection... But they did a great job.
Still playing this well all of them again and excited for Metroid Dread
LYRICS, STARTING FROM 0:34
Forty metroids
Set the counter
I've got the skills
And the power
One by one they
Each will fall
Show no mercy
Kill them all
Delve into the planet
Storm the caves
And send the metroids
Into their graves
I'm the hunter
Here today
To make my mark
Here to seize my prey
damm that was actually really good
@@ssbgodvegeta2615 Thanks
Expected cringe lyrics.
Found a pretty good poem. Nice job lol
😬😬😬
Holy smokes that's good. Totally fits Samus' attitude coming into this mission, considering she's been dominating the last four years of her life.
The song that might play when Samus is returning.
Kickass theme. It should be iconic, as well.
I need an explanation about why this theme has not been in Smash. It really fits very well.
This sounds like “Now you’re ready. You’re now prepared to embark on your journey through SR-388. Go, Samus! Complete your mission with immense power and awe!“
i would love to have heard this mix way more often in the game. It keeps getting interrupted and the area it plays in isn't that big

EVERY little nuance in original Gameboy's composition is preserved and improved in this. Mark my words.
Best track in the game IMO

I prefer the game boy version over this
I was hoping they leaned into the theme instead of away from it and hiding it a bit under the metriod prime vibe
Oh well
Why did you loop it twenty times?
I prefer the AM2R version of this song more, to be honest.
Is it just me or does this sound like fitness music?
It doesn't have the Jasmine ballsax vibes that the original had with frog music. No no no no no. This is portbinda and ghetto as hell. The 1991 version was better and had more innovative riffs.

The original theme for the original game boy version is Way better this game was also too complicated for my taste
So much worse than the OG 8 bit version just horrible.
I think it sounds great, but I guess it's hard to appreciate it when it only plays in a rather small area.
Will you also upload AM2R Music?
I feel like this goes too hard, AM2R's more athmospheric tones feel a lot better for this area imo
AM2R is better
So?
Oh hey it's the worse bootleg version of AM2R.
Both are good in their own ways. AM2R is classic Metroid to perfection, and SR is the evolution of Metroid (which gave us Dread)
The original Game Boy version of this tune was better.
AM2R did it better :/ sorry guys
I do like AM2R's better, but I still really love this version
The whole game or just this theme ? For the game it's understandable, for the music this one rocks way better than AM2R's version.
