@@novustalks7525 In the Super Metroid opening. Once the main theme and title screen kick in, you hear Samus's breathing in her suit. Sounds like Darth Vader.
I was today years old when I realised the four notes at 3:21 in the Super Metroid intro would later become the "puzzle solved" jingle in the Prime games. What a nice touch by Retro to reuse this obscure motif!
anyone else find it cool how fusion and zero mission each have one half of the metroid 1 theme...? with fusion having the more sinister half while zero mission having the more uplifting half
While I do like all of these, there’s just something about the amazing and bombastic choir from the Prime games that gets to me. So I definitely can’t wait to see what Prime 4’s menu theme is like.
The way the original Metroid turns into the hopeful and nice tune after a bit of the main part tells us we're on a mission to save the galaxy. And by the time we reach Dread, it's telling us the Galaxy is in grave danger due to our meddling Edit: also Prime 2 theme goes so hard and I'll love Prime 2 until the day I die
Been playing through Prime 2 again on my Gamecube and holy hell. I'm really glad the bosses in Dread aren't as bullshit as some of the bosses in Prime 2. xD
I don't really remember any of the bosses in Prime 2 giving me much trouble except for the Boost Guardian, but everyone agrees the Boost Guardian is bullshit.
The prime games’ title music is probably all my favourite, with 2 and 3 being a tie for first because they’re both so epic but man, there is something about zero missions title theme that sounds so wondrous and mysterious and fun. Makes the child in me smile every time
Love how Dread kept it simple, dark and deep. Its like, hey we're not here to fuck around with this OST and put happy melodies. This shit has gotten real and dark. Been playing Metroid since the original and already playing Dread for the 3rd time on Hard Mode.
I wish they had a third option to play or like a specific requirement each time you play to get something new. Or some kind of procedural level design that randomizes emmis and stuff. Also like an exact replica of metroid 1986's map with dreads graphics. God that would be so fucking cool
@@zevac I was thinking this last night when I was playing it over. New Game+ where it flips the map around in different parts. Items not hidden in the same areas, etc.
That's my first 3D Metroid and the first Metroid game I've bought. I don't know if it's my Wii that's old or if I'm too close to the screen (I have terrible eyesight) but for God's sake I can't aim. I'm left handed so I hold the remote with my left hand to have better control but my muscle memory to attack is on my right hand and vice versa with moving around.

I love how from Prime 3 onwards the title screens shifted to the logo superimposed over a planet. You could argue the trend started since the original/ZM but those are on the surface of the planet rather than the full body in the back ground.
everyone is sleeping on Samus Returns' menu theme! the way it plays into the original theme, and yet still stays faithful to its predecessor's theme as well, even throwing in the sharp 8-bit gameboy hisses at the end along with a background melody from the original. genius.
The first Prime has the best title music. And the file select music for Prime is even better. Thanks for showing both. I remember being blown away by it the first time I played the game in the GameCube days.
Out of the Prime games, I like Prime 2 a tad more and I like the Trilogy menu the most, but I agree that Prime 1 had an amazing design and music. Showcasing the inner nucleus of the Metroid with a biological scan filter was an awesome idea. I love how Retro has designed most of their UI for the Trilogy, Corruption being the only exception.
I loved Super for two reasons, that little chime it plays when “Metroid 3” types in and the face that you actually play through that title screen before Ridley.
@@connorhill8889 Prime 2 might be my favorite game ever. It sort of molded what I look for in single player games now. Also worth noting that it was my introduction to the Metroid franchise. The opening theme and torvis bog theme are my two favorite Metroid tracks.
The Super one is the best for me, the way they introduce us to the game, the Samus breathing sound and the Metroid sound in the capsule is just so inmersive
@@andreavasquez4355 I personally think it's something of a Chozo lullaby. There's something about that slow whistling that makes me think it's like something a Chozo (most likely Old Bird) would've sung to Samus to when she was little. The background instruments and choir make the song more upbeat and adventurous, reflecting how Samus has grown to be more courageous and mature as a bounty hunter who once served in the Galactic Federation Force, but still has strong memories and connections with the Chozo from her childhood.
Original Metroid theme is still the best for me. I still remember the day my dad bought it for me, and how the theme just slapped me in the face the second I hit that Power button on my NES. After that though, the simple dark nature of the Dread theme simply rocks.
It is certainly very very iconic and paved the way for all the other titles themes to borrow from that initial motif. I love it too, might be the bias kicking in, but there's just something about it that takes to a place and time whene you were happy, you know? Same with Zero Mission's. It's wondorous and nostalgic.
Metroid Prime Trilogy, Prime 2, and Prime 3 are my favorites. Prime Trilogy's is just downright epic. Prime 2 has a dark and yet "let's do this!" vibe to it. As for Prime 3, it screams THE final game of the trilogy.
Ah yes. Metroid Zero on the gameboy. No bills and so much free time I had. Now I barely got time but when I do, I’m playing Dreed. So far the game is absolutely amazing! Brings back some good old sweet memories ;)
The original is still my favorite going back to 1987 when I was 8. Thanks to the commercials, I wanted that game so bad and had a few friends that had it. I didn't get my cart until 1989.
My oldest brother's friend let us borrow it around 1988. I got so into it, I believe as a 8 year old I was able to understand the exploration a bit better due to Kid Icarus since I played that one before Metroid.
I think my favorite has to be between Prime 2 and Prime 3. NEStroid is also beautiful, that's where it all started. love them all. My interpretation of all themes: NES Metroid: Intimidating and overwhelming, yet hopeful. Metroid II: Creepy, weird, fear of the unknown. A very important, yet dangerous mission ahead. Super Metroid: Foreboding, intense, impactful. Immediately sets the tone. Prime: Twisted, organic, cautious, mysterious. Represents the dangers of space. Fusion: Tense, suspenseful, scary. This is where metroid really embraces a little bit of those horror elements with the music. Zero Mission: Nostalgic, glorious, uplifting first and then the intimidation afterwards. Reverse of what NEStroid did. Prime 2: Serious, grounded, setting up the challenge. Neither intimidating nor hopeful, just a ''get ready, shit is about to get serious''. Prime Hunters: To the point, creepy, danger approaching. Prime 3: Finality, closure, bombastic, choir resembles the end of the trilogy. ''This is it'', it's now or never. Prime Trilogy: A celebration, a homage, a tribute. Very impactful and determined. Other M: Represents the emptyness of space. Very subtle and lonesome. Federation Force: Don't know what to make of this one, sounds like music that would play for a batman animated series intro. lol Samus Returns: Fear of the unknown yet again, just like the original. Now it has a transition with subtlety, followed by grandeur. Represents the baby and the severity of the mission. Dread: No more playing around, legitimately worrysome, either we fulfill the mission or the universe perishes. grade A level threat.
metroid 2 was one of the first video games i ever played, and it took me till 2022 to actually hear the entire title track, i didn't know it had actual music in it
Super Metroid sets up that “dreadful” feeling the best. Zero Mission invokes the most nostalgia-like feelings. Prime 2’s title screen just straight up bangs and imo has the “coolest” presentation.
I simply can't pick a favorite, but Metroid 2's title really gets me. It starts off mysterious and almost off putting with these distant screams instead of a melody for a while, then this subtle and calm melody hits you which makes you feel kind of emotional about the important mission that Samus is going to do. Then finally, this intense track hits you that makes you feel both encouraged and uneasy, but also makes you realize that the job is to kill every single mission. You are here on a very dangerous mission to do a massacre. The mixture of positive and negative feelings at the same time makes it such a great setup for the game (which is also pretty underrated I must say).
It's impressive how Metroid Prime 4 was revealed as in-development almost 6 years ago. While the ENTIRE Metroid Prime 1-3 were developed and released in a span of less than 6 years.
Thank you for this upload lol, love this series so much. Enjoying Dread hella lot. Making me remember the good old days on Fusion and Zero Mission. I suck at the originals 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite openings are the Prime trilogy. Not only was Prime my first Metroid game, the title screen opening are so cinematic and the music captures the tone of the game. The music alone made appreciate music scores in general.
For me fusion will always be the most impactful. It was my first game in the series. But aside from that it was so intriguing, the atmosphere was mysterious and eerie. And seeing Samus' ship explode was so unexpected!
As much as I love Fusion, Zero Mission, Samus Returns, and Dread, Super Metroid remains the magnum opus for me, and my absolute favorite in the series. Call me biased, I was 10 when Super Metroid first came out and was practically raised on it. But I still look to Super Metroid as the definitive game in the series. And I love the music in Super Metroid the most.
What a short and succinct theme for a video game series. Kinda crazy to think it was written in the 80's and is still being used for the games to this very day. My top 2 are Dread and Super metroid, its really difficult to decide between them because to me they conveying different feelings. Dreads sounds more daunting with the banging percussion..like this is going to be samus' toughest mission yet. While Super M sounds more mysterious and alive with the kindof crashing or breathing sound in the background. Theyre both good at what they're intended, id say Super metroid comes across a far more unnerving.

Prime: Twisted, organic, cautious, mysterious. Represents the dangers of space.
Fusion: Tense, suspenseful, scary. This is where metroid really embraces a little bit of those horror elements with the music.
Zero Mission: Nostalgic, glorious, uplifting first and then the intimidation afterwards. Reverse of what NEStroid did.
Prime 2: Serious, grounded, setting up the challenge. Neither intimidating nor hopeful, just a ''get ready, shit is about to get serious''.
Prime Hunters: To the point, creepy, danger approaching.
Prime 3: Finality, closure, bombastic, choir resembles the end of the trilogy. ''This is it'', it's now or never.
Prime Trilogy: A celebration, a homage, a tribute. Very impactful and determined.
Other M: Represents the emptyness of space. Very subtle and lonesome.
Federation Force: Don't know what to make of this one, sounds like music that would play for a batman animated series intro. lol
Samus Returns: Fear of the unknown yet again, just like the original. Now it has a transition with subtlety, followed by grandeur. Represents the baby and the severity of the mission.
Dread: No more playing around, legitimately worrysome, either we fulfill the mission or the universe perishes. grade A level threat.

The jump from metroid 2 to super metroid is crazy 😮 then we had to wait 8 years and we get to Prime and we’re like 🤯🤯🤯
The Into music for Prime on GC is definitely my favorite of the bunch
same
I loved the super metroid theme still give me goosebumps when I hear it even now. It was my all time favourite game and introduction to the series
Prime 1 and 2 are such great games. I hope 4 lives up to the legacy and surpasses expectations.
I hope nintendo releases a prime trilogy for switch, cuz I've never played prime 3 and I really wanna.
I’d disagree with 2, but yes, 4 has some massive shoes to fill from 1 and 3
@@theplinko9840 2's my favorite prime. I liked the dark atmosphere.
Samus Returns and Super Metroid tie for me at the top. Runner up has to be Prime Trilogy.
I underestimated the Metroid 2 theme, I thought it was that obnoxious note the whole time, my impatient ass
I love all the title screens! they totally fit their respective games!
But dang the Prime ones are my favs haha!
Metroid Dread is just straight up horror music
6:20, la perfección, una canción que da igual las veces que la escuche, saca lo más profundo de mi.
MP2 isn't my favorite Metroid game, but that intro is my favorite intro for anything, ever.
cannot believe how hard metroid ii return of samus title screen goes, unbelievably hard tune right there
Yeah the remake music was pretty disappointing in comparison.
It's impressive how Metroid Prime 4 was revealed as in-development almost 6 years ago.
While the ENTIRE Metroid Prime 1-3 were developed and released in a span of less than 6 years.
Thank you for this upload lol, love this series so much. Enjoying Dread hella lot. Making me remember the good old days on Fusion and Zero Mission. I suck at the originals 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite openings are the Prime trilogy. Not only was Prime my first Metroid game, the title screen opening are so cinematic and the music captures the tone of the game. The music alone made appreciate music scores in general.
Wish Nintendo had a simple text saying "Nintendo proudly presents, in collaboration with Mercury Steam: Metroid 5." 😁
For me fusion will always be the most impactful. It was my first game in the series. But aside from that it was so intriguing, the atmosphere was mysterious and eerie. And seeing Samus' ship explode was so unexpected!
Prime 2 gives me instant chills
The dread theme is literally the original but it is modernized and the positive part is gone.
Fusion basically aswell, and super.
Basically every theme is a remix of the first one. Aside from Federation Force and II
The primes games had no right to slap that hard
Prime Trilogy theme is a fucking MEDLEY.
My favorites are between prime 1 or 2, but I love the music in that prime trilogy title screen tho, my god, it's so good.
As much as I love Fusion, Zero Mission, Samus Returns, and Dread, Super Metroid remains the magnum opus for me, and my absolute favorite in the series. Call me biased, I was 10 when Super Metroid first came out and was practically raised on it. But I still look to Super Metroid as the definitive game in the series. And I love the music in Super Metroid the most.
Zero Mission theme is magical
Damn metroid prime's theme is amazing!
Dang Other M’s theme is actually sick
It gets better if you unlock *alternate theme* . 😔👌
Metroid Prime 3 title music SLAPS!
Metroid samus returns had me shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots the first time I booted it up
Prime 1’s file select is one of the best songs ever
Prime 2 intro is just the best
The second song Return of Samus almost got me turned deaf. 🤣 And almost destroy my headphones As well... Thanks for such a great compilation...
The title screen from Super Metroid is still unbeaten.
Immediately gives absolute Dread!
oooh reference
Personally the Metroid Prime 2 theme is my favorite
My personal tier:
1- Metroid Prime · 4:32
2- Super Metroid · 3:07
3- Metroid Dread · 21:08
I love Metroid Prime Trilogy's theme with that deep buildup and epic march when the title shows up
What a short and succinct theme for a video game series. Kinda crazy to think it was written in the 80's and is still being used for the games to this very day. My top 2 are Dread and Super metroid, its really difficult to decide between them because to me they conveying different feelings. Dreads sounds more daunting with the banging percussion..like this is going to be samus' toughest mission yet. While Super M sounds more mysterious and alive with the kindof crashing or breathing sound in the background. Theyre both good at what they're intended, id say Super metroid comes across a far more unnerving.
It's between Fusion's theme and Dread for me
The best one is still Super Metroid. That introduction is just amazingly perfect
Prime 2 is straight _bangin_ but all the Prime games have fire menu themes. And Dread... just wow. So good
