I never got to hear the FDS version before, being an NES kid for the past 24 years (I'm 28 now). Only the intro/title track, item acquisition and ending theme sound different than the NES counterpart to me, but still. Metroid is one of my favorite and dearest games of all time and I owe it and a few other early games for getting me into music in general. Thank you for uploading this.
I agree with you fully, Metroid as a series is one of my all time favorites. It really was something else to hear the intro and ending with extra channels.
Metroid was the first game I ever played in my whole life, and one of my earliest memories ( _At present time of writing: 31½, 1986_ ). It shaped my view on a lot of things. Fantastic game.
I think the reason only a few songs used the Famicom's extra channel is because the extra channel was mostly set aside for sound effects. This is true in the Legend of Zelda. the US games used the DPCM channel (which was pretty rarely used for music, but you hear it in the snare drums in SMB3 and the bass in Batman).
I still can't believe that the item acquisition jingle that first appeared in Metroid 2 over here in the west has actually been the ORIGINAL jingle the WHOLE TIME.
You dont really think about the importance of the difference in the NES over the FDS until you see where Kenji Yamamoto adapted the FDS version of things for Super Metroid
Super Metroid's adaptations of Title, Samus Entry Jingle, and Item Acquisition Jingle are from the FDS versions of the tunes rather than the NES versions. I don't know what he's talking about as far as "the importance of the difference" though.
@@unfasten Metroid 2's (the original and the remakes equally) item acquisition theme is also based on the FDS version (albeit it has an additional part, half of which is also in the GBA remake of OG)
The reason for the Super Metroid version sounding more like the FDS Metroid themes is most likely because of the pronunciation of the instruments when comparing NES to FDS. A good example is the item acquisition theme where both versions have the same melody but in the NES version you more clearly hear the harmony.
For 15 years, I thought the item fanfare in the first Metroid was slightly different from the rest of the series. With the Famicom's better sound, I just realized that the familiar jingle was there the whole time on the NES, just not as audible.
The soundtrack for this game really is something special. It sounds alien and familiar at the same time. It really is just as important to the games identity as the visuals and the story.
11:12 I've always loved that part, it sounds so happy in comparisson with the rest of the music, and of course since it is the ending theme I think it's really appropiate.
This soundtrack (NES vers.) felt like it literally saved my life at the time. I loved it with more than my whole heart. It was pure frisson and more than frisson.
I love how in the fds tracks, brinstar and tourian sound fuzzy, almost as if they're being transmitted to a spaceship, which fits with the games sci fi theming
only a few songs are actually any different. 1) title. 2) entry jingle 3) item get jingle 4) escape (a musical part missing in fds ver) 5) ending theme all others are identical to NES version.
One of the best NES soundtracks! I love the alien sortof sounds and the atmosphere the soundtrack creates. People play this game for hours trying to beat it, yet the very short tracks just don't get annoying

It's strange that despite the fact that "Item Acquisition" was altered in the NES version, they decide to use it in Zero Mission's soundtrack instead of the FDS version
they're still the same song however, just the NES version, despite sounding different, has one of the channels volumes higher than the other, what would be the main melody of this version is the background of the NES version, and the background of this version is the main in the NES.

This is true in the Legend of Zelda. the US games used the DPCM channel (which was pretty rarely used for music, but you hear it in the snare drums in SMB3 and the bass in Batman).
Also true here. Certain enemies and the wave beam use the FDS channel.
They needed a channel to beep for low health, but didn’t want to sacrifice the music to do so.
The sound the Metroids make on the FDS version is truly terrifying.
Happy 30 Years, Metroid.

"Here's the person you let blow up a few times in the first level." *shows half-naked brunette underneath*
Nintendo when they show Samus in Super Metroid:
*blonde losing all her clothes in an explosion*
*Michael Bay intensifies*
I think the NES version of the item jingle is the best version
Ah back when we were told, via the game's manual, that Samus was a cyborg.
Didn't it actually refer to her as a guy?
Three times. It called her a he.
