It's no wonder that the Metroid series helped contribute to the gaming term "Metroidvania." It's simply a queen of its genre, and will be remembered for generations to come. Even though inspired by the Alien series, Metroid isn't always about horror. As players, we sat in silence at the wonderful soundtracks such as Norfair, Overworld, and Torvus bog/Lower Brinstar. This game invokes not only a sense of un-shakable fear, but also limitless wonder.
It’s literally the only reason that that genre exists, I don’t know why Castlevania is also put in that group, considering that I think it was like sixth or fifth game that is anything vaguely similar to a Metroid game
Fun Fact: at the point that piece of soundtrack was made, they weren't EMMI beeps, because the EMMI didn't exist for Samus Returns. They're sound effects that were used for atmospheric creatures sounds and got repurposed into EMMI sounds. It caught me off guard on first listen to.
Not all ambient/atmospheric video game compilations are truly just that...there are often a few boss battles or other more upbeat pieces mixed in for whatever reason. This one though, you really did a great job of keeping it mostly on task. I listen to this one frequently while I work or attempt to sleep. Great job!
I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this compilation. I put it on as background noise fairly often when writing, Journaling, or trying to draw. I love its mix of mystery, exotic alien place no one's been, and eerie that the Metroid Series has done really well over the years in their soundtracks.
It's interesting how the first track, which you credit from Samus Returns (I haven't played that one yet) has very similar beeping to the EMMIs in Metroid Dread. I can see where they got the inspiration.
Listening to this fresh off of my first Dread playthrough, and my immediate reaction upon hearing those beeps was to mute my computer, lol... dread really is a fitting title.
Im glad you included one from other m but amnhonestly shocked you didnt include more, it has great ambient tracks of this nature. Also not everybody hates other m. I love it, and yes its story as well.
@@eltipobigotudo2162 a lot of channels that had Nintendo music uploaded were copyright claimed, for example, Gilvasunner and Brawl (that one that had A LOT of game OST extended for 30 minutes
Holy shit, I never played Metroid: Samus Returns (I know...please don't crucify me) but that game has BANGERS. Now I feel obligated to go play Samus Returns. But right after I complete the Metroid Prime Remaster that just launched 😎
You guys are sleeping on Samus returns, thats my favorite game of all time I enjoyed it more than dread, the music and gameplay are just so good in Samus returns

Amen to that!
I mean... it's literally the creator of the genre, so not just a queen or a contributor to the name.

@@MorphBaller388 The Second Game, Simon's Quest, has backtracking
@@MorphBaller388 Because Symphony of the Night helped perfect the genre. It's no Super Metroid, but it's an incredible game nonetheless.
The EMMI beeps used for the remastering of the ambient "music" for Return of Samus was a startling effect for me.
The way my blood ran cold when I heard the EMMI beaps
No balls
@@pspgamerserjio lol - those things were more annoying than terrifying.

I feel like I'm way too obsessed with Metroid OST, being able to recognize the most obscure tracks.
Thanks for the great compilation Vapid.
You just knew these from memory? That's wicked impressive.
So sorry to hear about your old channel, you deserve better. Thanks for the great compilations.
Not all ambient/atmospheric video game compilations are truly just that...there are often a few boss battles or other more upbeat pieces mixed in for whatever reason. This one though, you really did a great job of keeping it mostly on task. I listen to this one frequently while I work or attempt to sleep. Great job!
Something I appreciate about your compilations is I don't have to adjust the volume on song switches
Brinstar Depths (Kraid's Lair) ~ Metroid (NES)....SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!
That underwater fusion theme is sick, totally forgot about it
This is definitely one of my favorite playlists. I've listened to it all the way through countless times.
i think the first theme confirms that EMMIs were on SR388
listening to this while I develop my own metroidvania and it's the perfect mix
Nice!!! Hope it turns out well
Thank you for reuploading this!
I love this mix so much 😊💕
I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this compilation. I put it on as background noise fairly often when writing, Journaling, or trying to draw.

I think they are literally the same sound effects lol
The EMMI sounds were added, they are not in Samus Returns
Lets goooooooooo, your metroid music videos are awesome, Infinite thx Vapid
The metroid series always has decent music that can invoke deep emotions
this is GREAT. Been a metroid fan for 30 years, and there's some tracks on here i've never heard. thanks vapid!
We desperately need a Metroid Prime game in VR.
Brinstar Depths is a masterpiece.
Im glad you included one from other m but amnhonestly shocked you didnt include more, it has great ambient tracks of this nature. Also not everybody hates other m. I love it, and yes its story as well.
OG Kraid's Lair hit me like a truck
Reading through these comments is truly uplifting. Thank you!
Nooo! Why was your old channel terminated? I was just looking for the 8D Metroid Music compilation.
Nintendo is very strict with their copyrighted material

did you ever find the 8d metroid music compilation? I've also been looking for it since it got terminated
1:19:57 (Area 4, Samus Returns) - I think this might be my favorite of the atmospheric tracks. I really need to play this game.
This is going to be with me for the rest of my days, truly a piece of art! Tks for the post again
it sounds strange... like it saying: something will come for you
I love me some Metroid, and this video really is helping me to concentrate and catch up on my documentation at work. So thank you for that!
Most unnerving sound for the first song. Great
Okay, area 7 in Samus returns is a bop, am I right?
the 2nd image is my monitors wallpaper
Very good mix!

i felt the life drain from my soul as i heard those EMMI beeps
please add later the second part please!
old account got taken down?
Awesome
Just gonna say it. SA-X is more terrifying than EMMIs.
Well, EMMIs causes deseperations feelings becouse is more impredictable, SA-X is more of fear and easy to avoid
Darn Skippy!!
Did you curate this before Dread came out? Would you add any tracks from Dread?
Why you repeat images so many times there are thousands you can use.
Is this no copyright? I would like to use in My streamings
Yeah Nintendo has a copyright on all tracks. But as long as you use it under fair use there isn’t a problem
Naw this isnt relaxing it's giving me flashbacks
Its all good and games until the "Leave the Space Pirates Base timer" music kick in
