Back when my dad first got this game for me when I was six years old, I remember wiping my tv screen because of that. My first Metroid experience but also my best.
I showed my friend this game yesterday, my god his reaction to the effects on the visor made me laugh, then I remembered the first time I played I was to stupid to get past the TUTORIAL 4 yr. Old me was stupid.
Not nearly as good as Super Metroid! But, yes after that game, the best game ever made. Including the wonderfull themes. Retro Studios did a Godlike thing by recreating the magic in three dimensions.
Your opinion is correct. :) Other epic video game soundtracks include (IMO): Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Prince of Persia: Warrior Within MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf I'm sure I can name more but I'm drawing a blank atm lol
NeonBornSpartan Prime made me fall in love with photography, which made me realize how beautiful the world is, so now I love the outdoors more than I ever did before, even though I don't take photos much anymore, all thanks to Metroid Prime!
Memories of pretending to be filming a documentary about nature on an alien planet, taking extreme caution to try and shoot as few of the passive enemies as possible to let them live on in their habitat, while treating every dangerous encounter as if Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was equipped with a laser gun. I miss being 8.
EverythingIsMacabre I felt like I was a bounter hunter searching for Meta Ridley to finish what we started. Now that is great narrative design to be able to do that!
I love how this subtly samples the original Brinstar theme, but it never copies it directly. It uses the same chord progression but never the same melody, just carefully evoking the feeling without actively tearing the player out of the immersion and back to their memories of Metroid 1. Well played, Retro.
true Magmoor is blatantly lower norfair from Super Metroid but god damnit I think it's the best official version they've ever made :D I LOVE the Magmoor Caverns remix of Lower Norfair so much
This game is the prime example of what a game should be. The atmosphere, variety of life, visuals... heck like i literally scanned everything just to learn about them. i felt like i was in this game. I miss this feeling since it was about the games instead of money. The music matched your environment beautifully. against the bosses and predators too. It made you feel the suspense.
yeah, I do wish for them to continue the series but.....if it takes them another 5 years to get the same care into the metroid games as they have over the last few, I will gladly wait for it :3
Fuck me.. retro and Yamamoto got deeply into our brains.. you hear strange, alien like sounds at the beginning, you're viewing something metroid in 3D for the first time, you start exploring as the music unfolds, start discovering.. you slowly start noticing how beautiful is the world you're in and start getting used to the controllers, when you realize this IS metroid you start hearing a very familiar tune, as if saying "Yes, you're in for something amazing".. Art.
omg you made me meld Metroid Prime and Skyrim together with that comment... lol... and I even have used a Tallon Overword mod for Skyrim... as limited and strange as the mod is...
It's amazing how real the Tallon Overworld feels. You weren't merely in the hub world of a video game. It felt like Retro and Nintendo had dropped you into a living and breathing alien planet's ecosystem. The tangleweed that slowed you as you moved around, the small explosive blastcap mushrooms, the wandering spiny Zoomers and Geemers that would ignore you and only hurt you if you ran into them. The water dripping down your visor, the flashes of lightning and cannonfire that briefly illuminated Samus' face in your visor, the heat waves coming off your arm cannon if you fired it rapidly for a few seconds. Metroid Prime was the first time I'd seen that kind of attention to detail done on a console video game (and given I had been paying attention to gaming since the era of the SNES/Genesis and Wolfenstein 3D on DOS computers, this kind of attention to detail hadn't been feasible before), and it was incredibly immersive. It made you feel like you had been drawn through the TV screen onto the surface of Tallon IV.
Marcomercury12 i was 8 years old when i played this fantastic scary game on my brothers gamecube :D it was so awesome!! magmoor caverns.. and phendrana so frikin amazing!
Marcomercury12 i wish i could travel back in time and play this game for the FIRST time again... i remember when i heard the phendrana music and it was winter outside :D
I was never interested in Metroid games (I was more of a Zelda kid that didn't have no time for them spacey games) and then my cousin one day says hey you should try this new game called Metroid Prime it's freaking amazing. So I go over to his house play through the Space Pirate Frigate and I'm was like, "That was okay." Then I landed on the Tallon Overworld...I turned to my cousins and said, "Can I borrow this game?"
sadly ... one does not simply land in Tallon IV again ... in their entire life god damn it I wish I could erease my memory and replay it all over again
+kid14346 Another magical moment for me was when you return to Tallon Overworld after having been away, exploring the ruins, lava caves, and snowy canyons, then use the lift from Magmoor Caverns to the root cave. I climbed up as far as I could and then glanced up and was entranced by the vegetation peaking over the rim. I don't know why, but I couldn't look away for a few minutes. Part of must have been that my brain registering the music as it's only the second time in the game you hear it. Part of it, I think, is that I was recalling a memory of driving through some mountains during a rain storm as a child and those trees swaying atop them in the wind made an impression on me. Anyway, now I can't help but think of the two overworld themes when it rains.
@@gordosebastian2010 played this game when it first launched, and now I’m a 31 year old man and my childhood feels like a different lifetime. Just started playing it again. Pretty damn close to experiencing it for the first time all over again honestly.
@@gordosebastian2010 I know your post is 7 years old, but it’s the truth. I played the original NES Metroid in 1987 when I was 5, and landing in Tallon Overworld brought me right back to playing Metroid for the first time at my cousins place. You only get that feeling once.
This song is so powerful. It fits in perfectly with the atmosphere of Tallon overworld and makes you feel like you're actually exploring this wondrous world. And as you're feeling excited about the adventure you're about to embark on, you react to how familiar the music sounds. You stop to take a closer listen, and the realisation that it's a remix of the already amazing Brinstar track hits you like an emotional freight train. Sweet tits, this version is so good it made me cry when I realised what it was.
Just as awesome when your only prior experience with the Metroid series came from Super Smash Brothers. Between the SSB stage music and Tallon Overworld, this tune IS Metroid to me.
I have played many a game. I've enjoyed a great majority of them. Looking back, I honestly and wholeheartedly believe that Prime is one of the very best. It is perfect concerning visuals, design, atmosphere; pretty much everything. Prime is the perfect successor to Super, and an example of the Metroid formula at its finest.
Prime was perfect about everything. It is, ever since I played it 10 years ago, the only game where I can remember every single beautiful piece of music.
samy29987 I don't really care about the bosses, the game itself was pretty hard. I guess it's a Nintendo thing to make bosses not so hard but visually astounding. And also, the first time I played MP every boss fight was hard as hell, the second time around they were way easy hahaha. I guess you could say you're somewhat right :)
3:00 is so overwhelmingly beautiful. It was on a metroid remastered ad as I was scrolling Instagram it played this particular portion of the song and so much nostalgia and emotions came
We don't know... Possibly Nintendo is waiting for the next E3 to make one of the biggest announcements of the decade: *METROID... NOVEMBER 2017*... or at least i hope so =T
Super Metroid was great. Definitely my favorite 2D Metroid game. But Metroid Prime was more than a 3D adaptation of the series like Ocarina of Time was to Zelda. Metroid Prime actually took advantage of the series and amplified the magic of the Metroid universe, and being released on GameCube as opposed to N64 was also probably a big help.
acalora123 Metroid Prime was a great game. Though, it still doesn't feel as Metroid as Super Metroid does. For example, while playing Super Metroid, various times one does something clever in the game to advance and one thinks that only he in the entire world was clever enough to figure it out. Stuff like that, one doesn't really experience in Prime. Super Metroid was able to tell you a great story without any dialogue whatsoever during the game. Prime relies on scans.
Both Metroid games are a masterpiece. But I do like Metroid Prime more and unlike say Ocarina of Time; which I think is massively overrated, Metroid Prime as of being the first 3D Metroid game did it magically right in alot of ways & I had a blast with it.
Remaking the Brinstar theme from the first game into this is Nintendo's way of telling the Metroid franchise, "welcome to the world of 3D games, Samus"
+Resolute That's not what that means lol. A midi is an arrangement of musical sounds, much like an 8 bit track. The difference between midi and 8 bit however is that midi is much more fleshy sounding. The sound file is just a midi track saved as whatever audio format.
The beauty of this game is completely indescribable. The aesthetics and the audio leave you completely in awe of the sheer magnificence of the world that prime created AND most importantly, successfully made you actually feel like you were there. A game truly like no other before it. The first and last of its kind, and it shall never be forgotten in my mind as anything other than THE greatest game and work of art ever to exist.
This tune is so relaxing. You feel transported to a rain forest, lost finding a place to start, all the stress from daily life forgotten. It's originality, it's nostalgia, the atmosphere is so thick, you're almost swimming in it. Show me the composer.
Honestly this was the best game I played in the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era, the exploration, the landscapes, the damn music was so incredible and the game so immersive! Metroid Prime is a true jewel of gaming and for the younger generations my advice is, do something to play this game and thank me later!
My god, and now is available for switch. Again the nostalgia, the emotion, the Incredible ambient music. First played in 2002, I was in shock of all the possibilities of exploring a discovering. And how the tallon IV soundtrack goes in crescendo. Absolutely on of the bests games in history
I have a very special connection with this game, Walking out of my local game store in 2009 with this 3 dollar game in hand. Remembering that Metroid was in smash brothers. I started to play it and didn't put it down for 2 months. The 7-year-old mind was blown. How did they make it look this real?? Music gave me my first eargasm. It made me a fan of Metroid for the following decades. I got interested in astronomy. had a fucking happy dance when Metroid Prime 4 got announced. Freaked the fuck out when Ridley and Dark Samus got announced. Metroid made my childhood much better. it was always there when no-one else was. as sad as that sounds its the truth. sitting alone in my room with my shitty 3rd party Gamecube controller with Metroid prime and smash bros was my only reprieve. When the world got so shitty and unbearable I had Samus. When my relatives, father, and cat passed away, the Metroid prime was there. I don't know if I Would be the person I am now if I never went into that store with my five dollars and bought that game. I don't think I would be here if it wasn't for this series. I wanted to relive those memories and because of Coronavirus, I have another chance to. Hopefully, Metroid prime 4 comes out my 2021, because I want some new memories with Samus! May the sun-shine on the Metroid Series!
love this theme sooo much, i cant imagine how they were able to compose such a masterpiece but this is beyond beautiful and crisp. i would call this celestial!
God I love this music. Every square bit of music, landscape made you just stand there. I'm actually going to put this in my game cube now! 20 years celebration.
Metroid Prime is easily in my top 5 games ever. This game is a masterpiece. The gameplay, graphics, music..just everything is superb. They REALLY need to make another first person Metroid and bring back this great atmospheric background music!!! Other M was a joke -_-
Other M wasn't that bad...people love to exaggerate over that game... Was it perfect? No, but it wasn't bad either. I loved how it looked and I loved the gameplay. The story and voice acting could have been better but I could care less. Even to this day I still pop in Other M because I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
Burraku Dusk People also love to bash it.I swear it's impossible to go to the comment section of one of these Metroid Prime song videos and NOT see someone bash Other M.
The feeling of wonderlust, of being on an alien world and exploring for the first time, at the start of an adventure to be had...that's the unsurpassed feeling this song evokes...and it never fails to deliver on this sensation...
The fact that this is a Brinstar remix is just....mind shattering Honestly,music like this just goes to show that the love for the Prime series is truly deserving.Immersive enviroments,beautiful music,challenging enemies,bosses,and puzzles,and finally a storyline that's able to followed coherently (This series and Metroid Fusion are my favorites because of the story-telling elements).Seriously,is there anything that Metroid can't do?
A dark, cloudy sky, rain beating against your visor and beautiful alien flora surrounding you on all sides. And then this music...honestly, the reason Metroid Prime is my favourite game of all time is because to me, no other game has crafted an atmosphere so enthralling and awe-inspiring.
Such an absolute masterpiece of a game. I had played metroid on the NES as a young child, but the series never really grabbed me before I decided to give Metroid Prime a shot. One of the best purchases of my life was made in March 2003. Retro Studios earned legendary status with their first game
Dang. I nearly shed a tear listening to this. I remember years ago when I first got this. Now, I have a job and I have to deal with taxes, checkbook balancing, insurance, and all kinds of other adult BS. I miss childhood.
Played this masterpiece on Dolphin VR couple of weeks ago; I just felt like I was playing the game for the first time, yet it is an old game I could say that was one of my favorite VR experiences.
I started on Super Metroid (MY favourite game of all time) but after that 8 year gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime and finally getting to play it in my friends house I was in tears of joy! Cant believe its been about 10 years since this game and its one of my favourite games ever! Love the Metroid series and really hope Nintendo make us wait another 8 years because Metroid on the WiiU will be amazing!
It's the music for the start of an epic game. It's been about 10 years now since I first played this in middle school. AND I STILL LOVE PLAYING IT. AND IT IS STILL AMAZING. It was long, challenging at parts, fun, well supplied with great music, and overall fun. Looking back on this makes me feel old. :(
It was about Prime we returned to Tallon IV. Im sorry for that awful pun, but seriously its good to see Metroid's Fps cousin get its first game a switch port.
i think this was one of the first games i ever remember playing, kinda spoiled me towards all other games. every time i hear this it brings me back to third grade, around 1:00 in the morning, while my friend was sleeping over, playing this on a portable TV in my room. I need to play this game again.
I remember when I first made it to this place. Frigate Orpheon was a pain in the ass during my first playthrough because 1.I had yet to master the controls. 2. For a while I didn't have a memory card, so if I died on the parasite queen (I was new at the game, alright?) I had to start the whole game over. 3. my asshole of a brother who would always put pressure on me and negate my enjoyment of games. However, when I finally chased Ridley down to Tallon IV, I took some time to gawk at the beautiful visuals and music. I jumped into the small lake near the ship, saw a school of fish swim by, and thought to myself "I don't care if it's a 2002 game. These graphics are nothing less than majestic." (and yes, I had a memory card at this point.) Needless to say, reaching this area for the first time gave me a serious sense of accomplishment. It was just so.....HAPPY.
I'm glad I was born in '95, because then when i was somewhat able to understand how video games work, I was introduced to the GCN/PS2/XBOX consoles early in my life, while still being able to play a few old school titles such as super mario world. But man, playing this game again, I feel like my appreciation for this game just increases every single time I start a new game. This game is responsible for making me fall in love with the Metroid series......even other M (though to a much lesser extent).
DragonEXecuTionER I was just at the age to understand those worlds as real and breathing other worlds, so to me, putting in that tiny little disk into the cube of wonder still feels like i'm turning on a teleporter!
bro i was literally a one year old when this game came out. and some how THANK GOD this game was the center of my child hood the game cube was the greatest thing ever
this is a great description of the feelings this song brings back to me. I was 12 playing this in 2002, was so excited for a new metroid game. this really kicked it off beautifully
Oh, and I really gotta replay through all of the Metroid Prime games again. 1 is my favorite game ever, and I've beaten it 3 times already, and I love both sequels to death as well. As close to perfection as you could ask any games to be. The atmosphere, the level design, the bosses, and the legitimate incentive to keep playing for collectables. Truly breathtaking. I could rant about how good the Metroid Prime series is for years.
First thing I did last week! The Metroid Prime trilogy has a special place in my heart. The Prime games have an atmosphere that no other game has, not even the 2D Metroid's. I remember feeling so lonely while traversing through Chozo Ruins, feeling scared shitless in Dark Aether, and wrecking like a boss using Hypermode. Man, dem feels..
I'm so glad I read this!!!!! my original metroid prime Disc just stopped working after playing it recently. if only I had known as a kid keeping the case was a good thing... Well I did but I just didn't care AND I REGRET IT!!!!
Richard Blades When I was younger I would be able to get up to the point where you were supposed to get the Gravity Suit. I didn't find the stalactites until I was in 7th grade.
After playing this game, you just know there was all kinds of love, hard work, passion, and dreams put into this game. Everything had it. The unique locations, the weapons, the battle system, the unique story -telling methods, the bosses, the goals, the genre, the background noises, the music, the environment, the graphics... this is the definition of a complete game. There is no debate about it: Metroid Prime is easily one of the most important, underrated, and impressive games of all-time!
I remember playing this back in '02. I was 11 at the time. When I first heard this song, I thought it was the most beautiful and surreal thing I'd ever heard. Although I've heard music with more impact since then, I'll never forget this track. Thanks for the memories, Metroid Prime.

Rain on my visor....
Back when my dad first got this game for me when I was six years old, I remember wiping my tv screen because of that. My first Metroid experience but also my best.
tru dat....
I showed my friend this game yesterday, my god his reaction to the effects on the visor made me laugh, then I remembered the first time I played I was to stupid to get past the TUTORIAL 4 yr. Old me was stupid.
That stuff blew my goddamn mind. Confirmed to me that, yes, I really was in that helmet.
Poor Samus must be going nuts because of that
metroid prime has one of the best video game soundtracks ever in my opinion.
Not nearly as good as Super Metroid! But, yes after that game, the best game ever made. Including the wonderfull themes. Retro Studios did a Godlike thing by recreating the magic in three dimensions.
Your opinion is correct. :) Other epic video game soundtracks include (IMO):
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
I'm sure I can name more but I'm drawing a blank atm lol
Same it is my second favorite videogame soundtrack behind majoras mask.
In my opinion, it has *the* best soundtrack
Fallout 3 and Metroid Prime in my opinion
This was the gaming experience that I will chase for the rest of my life. This song. That moment.
You said it!
that first look around outside your ship while this played..... i'll never forget the feeling...
kalta desmon Never!
precious moment...
Stepping out of your ship and knowing this game is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Gets me every time.
The Metroid Prime games helped me fall in love with nature, the sciences, and biology. Really amazing game.
I'm thankful our world's nature is unique and beautiful in it's own way. :D
NeonBornSpartan It made me shoot all the nature in the glowy red square
NeonBornSpartan Prime made me fall in love with photography, which made me realize how beautiful the world is, so now I love the outdoors more than I ever did before, even though I don't take photos much anymore, all thanks to Metroid Prime!
+NeonBornSpartan Funny how video games made me appreciate real life environments so much.
@NEhTagHa and that world is fucked. The civilization before was super Uber advanced.
Memories of pretending to be filming a documentary about nature on an alien planet, taking extreme caution to try and shoot as few of the passive enemies as possible to let them live on in their habitat, while treating every dangerous encounter as if Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was equipped with a laser gun.

Oh my gosh I love you! XD Now I wish young me had been as creative as young you.

EverythingIsMacabre I felt like I was a bounter hunter searching for Meta Ridley to finish what we started. Now that is great narrative design to be able to do that!

+Nice Guy Fedora Atheist Well to be fair..Yeah you're right but it's still good and doesn't break immersion

I'm sorry. But...
Hehe. Prime.
The PRIME example.. no pun.
yeah, I do wish for them to continue the series but.....if it takes them another 5 years to get the same care into the metroid games as they have over the last few, I will gladly wait for it :3
The prime example...i wasnt intending it to be funny. nor should you
Christopher Kariotis just take it easy man
Biking in the rain and hearing this song while looking how the rain falls...... it's pure magic
Im gonna try that.. thanks
***** then I suggest that you head over to the meta ridley theme on your right
Dan Hutchinson Try Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom~ Nuclear Fusion.

Legit LOL at your comment.
Pretty much the Metroid Prime early game experience.
It's amazing how real the Tallon Overworld feels. You weren't merely in the hub world of a video game. It felt like Retro and Nintendo had dropped you into a living and breathing alien planet's ecosystem. The tangleweed that slowed you as you moved around, the small explosive blastcap mushrooms, the wandering spiny Zoomers and Geemers that would ignore you and only hurt you if you ran into them.
The water dripping down your visor, the flashes of lightning and cannonfire that briefly illuminated Samus' face in your visor, the heat waves coming off your arm cannon if you fired it rapidly for a few seconds.

I legitimately have goosebumps listening to this song. It is at once haunting, yet serene; exciting, yet calming; in a word, beautiful.
just like the world you are in while hunting Ridle :3
This song is just pure lush, plentiful wild nature.

I think Thardus was actually a pretty good boss, not too easy, but not overly hard. He strikes a nice balance for an early-game boss.

It feels so triumphant. Like you just climbed the highest mountain
Yeah that happened to me too, any chance to find back that particular clip?
this song is like "you ready for one of the greatest gaming experiences ever?"
Happy 30th anniversary Metroid. Nintendo might have forgotten you, but we fans sure not.

THE SECOND COMING IS UPON US. Metroid Prime 4 is on the way boys.. It is on the way.
Metroid prime 4 still isn’t here. I’m sad
no other metroid game can replace its amazing athmosphere and music this game was one of a kind
Play Super Metroid then and find out

Both Metroid games are a masterpiece. But I do like Metroid Prime more and unlike say Ocarina of Time; which I think is massively overrated, Metroid Prime as of being the first 3D Metroid game did it magically right in alot of ways & I had a blast with it.
I remember sitting in the waterfall and looking at all the little details and listening to the music, and just feeling the atmosphere...
theres never going to be a game that'll replace all the memories this game gave me. this game is going to be inside of me for the rest of my life.
Mine too
Mine too! I want to play it again.
Javier Alexis Gutierrez I have the GameCube game too
I had it, and now, i wanted again.
I miss that times.
It's ME Too... Not Mine...
Remaking the Brinstar theme from the first game into this is Nintendo's way of telling the Metroid franchise, "welcome to the world of 3D games, Samus"
I remember when I was 7, I was to scared to go anywhere else so I always stood by the waterfall near the ship. Good times.
This single track puts so many other video game tracks to shame.
It wasnt pre recorded with an orchestra like most games these days it was all done via a sound chip.
+Resolute That's not what that means lol. A midi is an arrangement of musical sounds, much like an 8 bit track. The difference between midi and 8 bit however is that midi is much more fleshy sounding. The sound file is just a midi track saved as whatever audio format.
Somebody hasn't heard "Tallon Overworld 2"
@@giorgioskb yup theyre synths
@@josephkreifelsii6596 this one’s better but shit it’s been 6 years since u said that, I assume in that time u figured this out
The beauty of this game is completely indescribable. The aesthetics and the audio leave you completely in awe of the sheer magnificence of the world that prime created AND most importantly, successfully made you actually feel like you were there. A game truly like no other before it. The first and last of its kind, and it shall never be forgotten in my mind as anything other than THE greatest game and work of art ever to exist.
How they got this theme to be simultaneously creepy *and* majestic is amazing.
Bravo and thank you to everyone on the Retro Studios team for this masterpiece.
This tune is so relaxing. You feel transported to a rain forest, lost finding a place to start, all the stress from daily life forgotten. It's originality, it's nostalgia, the atmosphere is so thick, you're almost swimming in it. Show me the composer.
and then you find the space pirates XD
Honestly this was the best game I played in the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era, the exploration, the landscapes, the damn music was so incredible and the game so immersive! Metroid Prime is a true jewel of gaming and for the younger generations my advice is, do something to play this game and thank me later!
Game is timeless.. 20 years later and I’m still thinking about it. they really don’t make them like they used to
You can thank "live service" for that.
This theme be giving me goosebumps man holy crap
My god, and now is available for switch. Again the nostalgia, the emotion, the Incredible ambient music. First played in 2002, I was in shock of all the possibilities of exploring a discovering. And how the tallon IV soundtrack goes in crescendo. Absolutely on of the bests games in history
This... this is the music to tell you that the world is alive... and ready to be explored.
I have a very special connection with this game,
Walking out of my local game store in 2009 with this 3 dollar game in hand.
Remembering that Metroid was in smash brothers.
I started to play it and didn't put it down for 2 months.
The 7-year-old mind was blown. How did they make it look this real??
Music gave me my first eargasm.
It made me a fan of Metroid for the following decades.
I got interested in astronomy.
had a fucking happy dance when Metroid Prime 4 got announced.
Freaked the fuck out when Ridley and Dark Samus got announced.
Metroid made my childhood much better. it was always there when no-one else was. as sad as that sounds its the truth. sitting alone in my room with my shitty 3rd party Gamecube controller with Metroid prime and smash bros was my only reprieve. When the world got so shitty and unbearable I had Samus. When my relatives, father, and cat passed away, the Metroid prime was there. I don't know if I Would be the person I am now if I never went into that store with my five dollars and bought that game. I don't think I would be here if it wasn't for this series.
I wanted to relive those memories and because of Coronavirus, I have another chance to. Hopefully, Metroid prime 4 comes out my 2021, because I want some new memories with Samus! May the sun-shine on the Metroid Series!
YESSIRRR

THE ORIGINALS BEING REMASTERED !
I'll never forget the first time I heard this track. A damn excellent game.
Reminds me of a futuristic ship hanger near a city in a rainy forest area with ships flying in and out being heard in the background
GOAT.. not sure there will ever be a game that tops the first metroid prime. Ever.
This is when you knew this game was gonna kick ass.
Really? I knew the second I enter the space station in the intro
love this theme sooo much, i cant imagine how they were able to compose such a masterpiece but this is beyond beautiful and crisp. i would call this celestial!
God I love this music. Every square bit of music, landscape made you just stand there. I'm actually going to put this in my game cube now! 20 years celebration.
Oh man, this instantly reminded me of trying over and over to do that glitch by your shuttle to get the double jump early
Played it on a receiver back then with a lot of bass.. was so awesome
Just grinning the entire way through this vid. Allll those memories of such a gorgeous game. My teenage years right here.
Metroid Prime is easily in my top 5 games ever. This game is a masterpiece. The gameplay, graphics, music..just everything is superb. They REALLY need to make another first person Metroid and bring back this great atmospheric background music!!!
Other M was a joke -_-
We don't talk about Other M... ever
I agree with u, for back in its time on the gamecube, i LOVED this game, easily in my top 3 games
Other M wasn't that bad...people love to exaggerate over that game...
Was it perfect? No, but it wasn't bad either. I loved how it looked and I loved the gameplay. The story and voice acting could have been better but I could care less. Even to this day I still pop in Other M because I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
Burraku Dusk People also love to bash it.I swear it's impossible to go to the comment section of one of these Metroid Prime song videos and NOT see someone bash Other M.
METROID PRIME 4!!!!! :DDDD
I think it's safe to say that I'll remember this until the day I die.
THAT FIRST CHORD! It's the PS1 intro chord! I love it! :D
The feeling of wonderlust, of being on an alien world and exploring for the first time, at the start of an adventure to be had...that's the unsurpassed feeling this song evokes...and it never fails to deliver on this sensation...
Uploaded 8 years ago and I still never get tired of this game's music
I always turn to this song; I like it so much, especially on rainy days.❤❤❤
You know the prime series will always be my favorite game regardless of who says anything
The fact that this is a Brinstar remix is just....mind shattering
Honestly,music like this just goes to show that the love for the Prime series is truly deserving.Immersive enviroments,beautiful music,challenging enemies,bosses,and puzzles,and finally a storyline that's able to followed coherently (This series and Metroid Fusion are my favorites because of the story-telling elements).Seriously,is there anything that Metroid can't do?
I really need to find the time to play this game again sometime. One of the best I've ever played,
This still sends joyful chills up my spine
I love how you can hear a little bit of the Brinstar theme at 1:36. Beautiful piece of music!
I thought that this was a remix of the Brinstar theme
So much nostalgia!
Such a beautiful song. Just imagine hearing this after the franchise was on hiatus for 8 years. 😭
A dark, cloudy sky, rain beating against your visor and beautiful alien flora surrounding you on all sides. And then this music...honestly, the reason Metroid Prime is my favourite game of all time is because to me, no other game has crafted an atmosphere so enthralling and awe-inspiring.
Who's here after seeing the remaster?
Me
It's me.
Yes ^^
yep
just hearing to this song makes me wanna cry. The best adventure i've had in my life. Thank you Retro
2019, still the best game overworld theme imo, even though its sad that you dont get to hear it full game. Tallon Overworld 2 is still good though
Such an absolute masterpiece of a game. I had played metroid on the NES as a young child, but the series never really grabbed me before I decided to give Metroid Prime a shot. One of the best purchases of my life was made in March 2003. Retro Studios earned legendary status with their first game
AUGH. The nostalgia hits like a truck high on cocaine...
Dang. I nearly shed a tear listening to this. I remember years ago when I first got this. Now, I have a job and I have to deal with taxes, checkbook balancing, insurance, and all kinds of other adult BS. I miss childhood.
this was my first metriod game i ever played from start to finish
Played this masterpiece on Dolphin VR couple of weeks ago; I just felt like I was playing the game for the first time, yet it is an old game I could say that was one of my favorite VR experiences.
This game is immersive masterpiece even without VR headset.
Now I am waiting for the remastered version of Prime to be released physically on switch 😊
I started on Super Metroid (MY favourite game of all time) but after that 8 year gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime and finally getting to play it in my friends house I was in tears of joy! Cant believe its been about 10 years since this game and its one of my favourite games ever! Love the Metroid series and really hope Nintendo make us wait another 8 years because Metroid on the WiiU will be amazing!
We're finally going back
you just summed up all the reasons why metroid prime is my favorite video game of all time, you rock man :)
I just realized.... this is great study music.
+tcrpgfan Silence is even better study music.
+Pixel Perfect Dubsteps is the best study music.
This comment is a joke.
Pixel Perfect
Just sitting here with my dumbass, thinking is "Silence" the title of a track in the ost.
It's the music for the start of an epic game. It's been about 10 years now since I first played this in middle school. AND I STILL LOVE PLAYING IT. AND IT IS STILL AMAZING. It was long, challenging at parts, fun, well supplied with great music, and overall fun. Looking back on this makes me feel old. :(
It was about Prime we returned to Tallon IV.
Im sorry for that awful pun, but seriously its good to see Metroid's Fps cousin get its first game a switch port.
i think this was one of the first games i ever remember playing, kinda spoiled me towards all other games.
every time i hear this it brings me back to third grade, around 1:00 in the morning, while my friend was sleeping over, playing this on a portable TV in my room. I need to play this game again.
I remember when I first made it to this place. Frigate Orpheon was a pain in the ass during my first playthrough because 1.I had yet to master the controls. 2. For a while I didn't have a memory card, so if I died on the parasite queen (I was new at the game, alright?) I had to start the whole game over. 3. my asshole of a brother who would always put pressure on me and negate my enjoyment of games.
However, when I finally chased Ridley down to Tallon IV, I took some time to gawk at the beautiful visuals and music. I jumped into the small lake near the ship, saw a school of fish swim by, and thought to myself "I don't care if it's a 2002 game. These graphics are nothing less than majestic." (and yes, I had a memory card at this point.)
Needless to say, reaching this area for the first time gave me a serious sense of accomplishment. It was just so.....HAPPY.
+Mal Swensen Haha glad to hear I wasn't the only one who jumped into the small lake to see the fish (:
I loved jumping into the lake and just chilling.
I shot the ever living sh*t out of the fish, lol.
how well the music matched the environment of this game is what made it great
I love how it captures the beauty of the original brinstar theme and has that nostalgic garnish, but has ominous tones to symbolize canc...phazon.
good save
joe laroche Well, it probably wasn't their intention, but all the signs are there that phazon is a metaphor for something...
agreed
As someone who has been a Metroid fan since the original NES game, I swear I still get chills hearing this redone Brinstar theme from Prime.
This song is glorious
This game is why I wanted a Gamecube.
I'm glad I was born in '95, because then when i was somewhat able to understand how video games work, I was introduced to the GCN/PS2/XBOX consoles early in my life, while still being able to play a few old school titles such as super mario world. But man, playing this game again, I feel like my appreciation for this game just increases every single time I start a new game. This game is responsible for making me fall in love with the Metroid series......even other M (though to a much lesser extent).
DragonEXecuTionER I was just at the age to understand those worlds as real and breathing other worlds, so to me, putting in that tiny little disk into the cube of wonder still feels like i'm turning on a teleporter!
bro i was literally a one year old when this game came out. and some how THANK GOD this game was the center of my child hood the game cube was the greatest thing ever
Un hermoso viaje al pasado!
the ambiance was wonderfully suited to that narrative. xD it must be a supreme skill to make these connections. thanks for something interesting
I never actually noticed when this stops playing and the other Tallon Overworld theme takes over..like at what point of the game?
this is a great description of the feelings this song brings back to me. I was 12 playing this in 2002, was so excited for a new metroid game. this really kicked it off beautifully
Two words: BRIN STAR !
Oh, and I really gotta replay through all of the Metroid Prime games again. 1 is my favorite game ever, and I've beaten it 3 times already, and I love both sequels to death as well. As close to perfection as you could ask any games to be. The atmosphere, the level design, the bosses, and the legitimate incentive to keep playing for collectables. Truly breathtaking. I could rant about how good the Metroid Prime series is for years.
GOD I MISS MY CHILDHOOD :(
i miss ur childhood too..
I may not have grown up with the game, but when I first played this, I wad in awe.
Metroid Prime Trilogy is on for $9.99 on the Wii U eshop right now, get it while you can!
First thing I did last week! The Metroid Prime trilogy has a special place in my heart. The Prime games have an atmosphere that no other game has, not even the 2D Metroid's. I remember feeling so lonely while traversing through Chozo Ruins, feeling scared shitless in Dark Aether, and wrecking like a boss using Hypermode. Man, dem feels..
If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have the original.
I'm so glad I read this!!!!! my original metroid prime Disc just stopped working after playing it recently. if only I had known as a kid keeping the case was a good thing... Well I did but I just didn't care AND I REGRET IT!!!!
+Desmond_Red
Considering how much the disc version of the trilogy is, buying it at regular price is also a good deal.
You're absolutely right on this. You rarely see such quality work nowadays.
Back when you could call Nintendo, Nintendo. I miss the gamecube so much
still have mine! >:D and, this is almost embarrassing but, it took me ten years to beat the Metroid Prime games (._.) not sure why, it just did.
Richard Blades When I was younger I would be able to get up to the point where you were supposed to get the Gravity Suit. I didn't find the stalactites until I was in 7th grade.
lol
lol Okay, so three years ago, Nintendo was really that bad to you...??! lol ... Sigh.
After playing this game, you just know there was all kinds of love, hard work, passion, and dreams put into this game. Everything had it. The unique locations, the weapons, the battle system, the unique story -telling methods, the bosses, the goals, the genre, the background noises, the music, the environment, the graphics... this is the definition of a complete game.
There is no debate about it: Metroid Prime is easily one of the most important, underrated, and impressive games of all-time!

When this kicks in it is pure magic!
I remember playing this back in '02. I was 11 at the time. When I first heard this song, I thought it was the most beautiful and surreal thing I'd ever heard. Although I've heard music with more impact since then, I'll never forget this track. Thanks for the memories, Metroid Prime.
Its back
