I'm absolutely in love with Kenji Yamamoto's music. He's got such an amazing grasp on ambience and atmosphere, and biological and futuristic sounding themes. The Prime series couldn't have had a better composer.
You need to listen to Goblins, the italian movie soundtrack band. Like listen to Tenebre by Goblin. its 80s? But its pure metroid. PS: Not the extended version
I wish I could wipe my memories of this game, just so that I could relive that moment when you re-entered Tallon Overworld and heard this theme playing instead of the original. It's like the music itself was acknowledging how far you've come.
joel6113 Getting a Wii U soon, gonna' play the shit out of Metroid Prime 3. (I've never played it, but have played and beaten MP1 and 2 at least 50 times through each)...
@@angelofdeath275 I was on edge the entire time in lower norfair the first time I was there in Super and that had a fantastic backround track. Part of the issue for dread is also the mixing.. I dont know why all of the music is so hidden in the mix.
@@increase9896 I think Dread's music is still good, just in its own way. I think it was meant to support to action more than act as a standalone OST. It isn't as memorable as this but it grew on me with play.
This track is like a damn mic drop after the devs have spent the last few hours convincing the player that despite the new shift to a first person gameplay style, yes this is still a fuckn Metroid game.
One of the best themes ever made. EVER. You feel the spirit of the game, the loneliness, the menacing jungle around you, the ancient story of the Chozo, their suffering... my God, this was a masterpiece.
+dorgrim damn you guys aged, im just 22 and already feel my hayflick limit being used by my cells constantly ... Its a shame that we will never see Samus in the flesh .... :((((
Was 6 years old when i first started to play Metroid now i am 21. Back then i imagined how games would just become better and was so excited for the future well now we are here and i still replay this game from time to time.
Very few feelings can match that point in the game emerging from hours of caves and darkness back to the surface to have your arrival greeted by this music. Makes you feel invincible.
Looked up this song again for the billionth time, just to see if I still get goosebumps at 01:10. Yup, still goosebumps. Naaa na, nana nanana na na naaa...
It was so long ago but I still feel that sense of discovery and being alone on an alien planet. I was just a kid back then and it was a really weird feeling of isolation that I have never felt since. If that game was remade in HD then I would most likely die of happiness.
That feeling of isolation is exactly the reason why I love Metroid as a franchise. And why I liked Prime 3 the least of the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, Corruption was a great game, but there were just way too many people and way too much talking in it.
I played it again some months ago, and I was still impressed. Generally 3D games with realistic graphics get old quite fast, but Metroid Prime looks the same as before.
it just never gets old! the details on the graphics and the environments (such as moisture on your visor, rain dripping down your cannon in different patters each time, etc) is simply unique and priceless, even after all those years.
Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the focus on pushing polygons instead of a ton of texture detail like other companies. Don't get me wrong, textures are still fantastic, but the amount of polys is insane and really helps the game look good. That all is obviously in addition to the fantastic art style.
Jaguar550 its so good and it really is a 1 of a kind game we get so often. So sad 2 say Nintendo Fanboys wont support a push in development for this 4th Metroid Prime being made by Bandai Namco to be worked on but throw another freaking smash bros game for switch. 😑
kariem elhanan That's when you understand you are alone in a Alien planet full of dangerous alien animals species that you never saw before and they'e not happy to see you. And bosses are mutation of these animals because of experience made by the space pirates. Poor animals lol
1:10 the moment this part drops always puts a smile on my face I can't really explain it like the mystery of the planet and the excitement of discovering it comes together to make the track really memorable to me
I love this theme. It transmits loneliness, you feel that you are really in an alien world. But at the same time it is relaxing, calm. Make one want to sleep with that theme in the background.
Been playing the remaster since I never got to play Prime back in the day. When this started bumping after I victoriously emerged from the Phazon mines I had to crank the sound WAY up and jam out. Unbelievable this came out 20 years ago! What a fantastic game.
One of those games you never forget. These past week I end it for the 5120312 time, and man, it never gets old. Perfect from beggining to end. Music, art, gameplay, enemies, story... All wonderful. And this song, what else to say.
Here I am again in 2021. This music always takes me back to 13-year-old-me, getting my GameCube and Metroid Prime the day before my birthday. The overwhelming feeling of atmosphere, joy, and immersion can't be matched. Simpler times.
This game. This world. This conflict. This everything. Tallon Overworld 2 could be seen as the theme of Metroid's revival. The honoring of the past, the sense of adventure, and the idea of a whole new world to explore. This song really encapsulates everything that is Metroid. And at the same time, tells the player "Sit down. We're just getting started"
I've been playing this game for the first time, despite having Metroid Prime 2 back on it's release, and hoo boy did I have to stop to listen to this banger when I first realised the change.
If you get that scared by Grenchlers, how did you even _get_ to Torvus? I was 14 when I played it, and I almost quit after the zombie troopers, let alone the entirety of Dark Aether.
1:11 My god, words can not describe how much I love this sound! It's like a sine wave with something added onto it. Really makes the whole game feel even more sci-fi!
I remember playing this game when I was 5, 10 years ago, and I must say, this game aged MAGNIFICENTLY. Until the day I beat it, at multiple times throughout my playthrough, I forgot it was a Gamecube game. The graphics are beautiful and still hold up, and do I really need to get into how awesome the soundtrack is? It's one of the best on the console, it not THE best.
I went back to replay it a couple of years ago, and somehow I kept noticing beautiful little details that I had somehow missed the first times I played it. Like how you can actually see Samus make different hand gestures for each different beam when you have the X-ray on. So much effort and care was put into the little things that you can easily miss, and it really paid off.
Had to come back to listen to this so I would feel better after seeing Federation Force. Metroid Prime, you really were the prime point of the franchise.
They ruined Samus as a character. Before she was a bad ass bounty hunter that feared nothing and was never afraid to shoot a mother fucker in the face. Other M shit on Samus so hard it was sickening. Making her into a scared, whinny, weak little girl who has to wait for someone to tell her it is okay to use her stuff, just revolting. Samus is that bad ass bitch who blows fucking planets up and wipes entire alien races out, not some girl who crys over an alien baby literally every 5 god damn seconds, and pisses her pants when she sees Ridley, a guy she has spent her entire life beating the shit out of. Honestly the new "Samus" is NOT the Samus I remember and the Samus I love.
I agree that people need to look at Federation Force from a different perspective, but not that Metroid is shit. To be fair it was Team Ninja that changed Samus to what she was in Other M. And supposedly Prime 4 is in development going off the hint at the end of Federation Force, and I assume it would be developed by Retro Studios, not Team Ninja or Next Level Games, I had never played the Prime games until recently and I just finished Prime 1, and I like what I have played of Other M, but I can see what people dont like. And Federation Force really feels like a Prime game to me in terms of the atmosphere, but it's a spinoff and people need to realize that, it's not gonna replace the whole Metroid series
Always loved the flow of this game. Derelict Space Pirate Frigate Cold Open meant to acclimate you to the controls before the mandatory "lol F Ur Upgrades" development: CHECK. Rainy Planetfall complete with remastered Brinstar theme to let you know "Welcome to a shiny new Metroid game". CHECKSKI Exploring your way through ancient Chozo ruins while finding a few familiar upgrades. CHECK and CHECK Being taken aback with the tranquil hostility of beautiful Phendrana Cliffs (Dat music hnng) and fighting your way into "OH SHIT MUTHAFRIEAKIN LOWER NORFAIR" Magmoor Caverns, more upgrades, wondering if there'll be a double jump in this game. CHECK. Returning to the Tallon IV surface from Hell itself to finally get the double jump, and hearing this song which smacks you in the face with how layered and complex it is is when the game says "NOW the game starts, you can jump twice and go to all the places you couldn't reach before!" I was 12, and couldn't feel more like I was playing Super Metroid for the first time again. An old friend was BACK. THIS IS truly one of my all time favorite games. It ushered in Metroid for a new, sleek 3d generation. Playing this with headphones accentuated the experience. It felt like you were in the suit, from the slight lag of the visor when you'd turn your head to when you popped the Xray visor and saw Samus' hand through the beam arm (oh shit son!) to whenever a chozo ghost hit you with..whatever it was they hit you with and you see Samus' eyes reflect back at you for tha split second as they dart and search for the next opening or advantage she needed to gain the upper hand in a fight. After going a whole console generation with only whispers of a new Metroid game, it came back with impunity. This game was a labor of love through and through, and it showed. To me, this song is where this game hits the ground running.
This game had so much mystery and love and feeling put into it. It was absolutely perfect. So much immersion of being on an alien planet, and having it be peaceful and magnificent.
The more console generations pass and the more people look forward to those, the more...lonely older games like this feel to me. 9th gen is almost here, and people are looking forward to that. But I won't forget you, Prime. I'll keep on coming back to play...
I think my favorite thing about the music in metroid prime was the fact that the shit kicked up once you progressed further in the game. Like when you returned to an area once you got stronger you notice the music then has more going on than it did before. I love it so much
I remember being excited for this theme to replace the default one for Tallon Overworld once I got far enough into the game. I like both themes a lot and they both have their own unique positive aspects, but this one is just... so much better... with the moodiness and borderline spookiness... though I start to wish that they had taken the Phendrana Drifts approach with these themes so that we wouldn't have lost the first theme while playing... as in placing the second theme deeper into Tallon Overworld like the Phendrana Drifts Depths theme was placed deeper into its part of the game, hence the name of the theme of course.
The Prime trilogy will always have a special place in my heart. When I think of my journey through Prime it brings tears of joya nd reminds me of a time when games where made with soul and passion.
So after listening to MP from 1 to 3 for about 8 years, I have to say this is indeed my favorite theme. From the baseline to the amazingly well-made organic sounds, I can feel the earth or the rain falling. Insects making sounds, plants growing. Retro Studios did such a stunt with this piece of art :)
i get goose bumps when the main melody drops at 1:10 seriously it is pure Nintendo magic! metroid prime is by far my number 1 greatest game of all time! the prime trilogy is so unique and like nothing before it or after it!! PLEASE Nintendo GIVE US A PRIME HD TRILOGY ON WiiU for the mean time while you let Retro studios make a new prime game for WiiU! 1080p at 60fps the game pad is just perfect for prime!
Right now I am 13 years old and I was playing this when I was 4 years old. My dad introduced me to the game and I loved it! So since I played this awesome game at a very young age and enjoyed it at such a young age the nostalgia I get from playing this game over again is tremendous
I smoked Prime in 13 hours and 56 minutes. I admit, I probably should have savored it a bit longer. But, once I get that momentum going, I don't wanna stop. Also, this is some beast platforming music.
mrbibs350 my fastest time ever to beat this prime game was about 5 hours and 10 minutes.. I lost a buuuuuuuuunch of time killing the omega pirate and ridley.. daaaamn, they never died lol
Prime 1 definitely had the best music. Prime 2's was also pretty good, but I can't recall the entire soundtrack like I can Prime 1. Prime 3's music just wasn't all that memorable in my opinion.
I love this music. Every time I hear it, I feel like I'm on adventure on another alien planet. This game has continued to fuel my love for science, imagination and video games. This music is both emotional and atmospheric. Despite not having a single word uttered, you feel like it represents the entire mood of the game. Isolation and exploration.
This song almost gives me anxiety because I only remember the back tracking and being stuck, until I think I gave up and looked on the internet after several hours *lol*. Thank you, Gamefaqs!
metroid prime triology saved my life I didn't have that gamecube life so i had to play prime 3 like 4 times till i saw metroid triology was on sale for 10 dollars on wii u store like 6 years later XD this was my facorite MP theme
This song is so perfect for this part of the game. It fits the watery forests just as perfectly as the first, but the sense of ease, of curiosity, of exploring a new world is replaced with a sense of urgency amidst the relaxing atmosphere, for you now know that this beautiful land will soon be ravaged by the Great Poison if you are too slow...
Ten years ago I was obsessed with the metroid series and this was my favorite game. Time goes by so fast. Wonderful and beautiful memories come back while hearing this :)
Please.. who do I have to kill to get an HD treatment on WiiU? Just touch up the textures a little bit. Give me better water and particle effects, 1080P and keep it at a solid 60fps. Please Nintendo ..Please..
i have good news for you... the next major metroid title for the WiiU might be in development by the one and only Retro Studios.... we all know what that means...
I
master1man totally igree!!!! I love Metroid Prime!!!!
NOSTALGIA!!!!
Martín Cabrera la nostalgia mas grande D:
would spend hours doing this:)
i like to pretend the Metroid Prime soundtrack is actually what Samus plays in her suit to feel more badass and less lonely
Amen my brother/sister
damn, Samus has some great taste in music
Boss shows up
Samus: "hold up" *changes song* "alright let's go"
That would be a nice twist: the music was coming from inside her helmet :)

I wish I could wipe my memories of this game, just so that I could relive that moment when you re-entered Tallon Overworld and heard this theme playing instead of the original. It's like the music itself was acknowledging how far you've come.
The very moment this music started playing I knew things were getting serious. This was the moment I knew I was playing something epic.
This just happened to me for the first time and I instantly saved at the ship and looked up the track amazing
i feel the same, but i am afraid that, for this to have the same import that it used to have, quite alot more experiences would have to go
Who else is having a Metroid Prime soundtrack marathon?
My guy.
Yessir
Oh yeah!
yyyep.

Isn't this the best game ever? The whole game is a masterpiece!
Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2 echoes are the best by far (even tho echoes was a flippen maze)
XGC RogueWolf except that 3 was better than 2

schackmountain I would say that 3 is better on your first time through, but 2 is better to replay.

This was my favorite song from the entire GAME.

it's alredy a remix.

Tallon Overworld 2 could be seen as the theme of Metroid's revival. The honoring of the past, the sense of adventure, and the idea of a whole new world to explore. This song really encapsulates everything that is Metroid. And at the same time, tells the player "Sit down. We're just getting started"

I like both themes a lot and they both have their own unique positive aspects, but this one is just... so much better... with the moodiness and borderline spookiness... though I start to wish that they had taken the Phendrana Drifts approach with these themes so that we wouldn't have lost the first theme while playing... as in placing the second theme deeper into Tallon Overworld like the Phendrana Drifts Depths theme was placed deeper into its part of the game, hence the name of the theme of course.
The Prime trilogy will always have a special place in my heart. When I think of my journey through Prime it brings tears of joya nd reminds me of a time when games where made with soul and passion.
The melody and its tone is just too good
thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So after listening to MP from 1 to 3 for about 8 years, I have to say this is indeed my favorite theme. From the baseline to the amazingly well-made organic sounds, I can feel the earth or the rain falling. Insects making sounds, plants growing. Retro Studios did such a stunt with this piece of art :)
Play this with Rainymood at the same time. So epic...makes you feel as if you're actually on Tallon IV, =)
this and the echoes opening theme are my 2 favorite metroid tracks.
Will never forget this one.
Alguien mas aqui por el reciente anuncio y trailer de Metroid Prime 4 Beyond? 😃
2:03 god i love this part, the transition is so guuuuud
i get goose bumps when the main melody drops at 1:10 seriously it is pure Nintendo magic! metroid prime is by far my number 1 greatest game of all time! the prime trilogy is so unique and like nothing before it or after it!! PLEASE Nintendo GIVE US A PRIME HD TRILOGY ON WiiU for the mean time while you let Retro studios make a new prime game for WiiU! 1080p at 60fps the game pad is just perfect for prime!
Right now I am 13 years old and I was playing this when I was 4 years old. My dad introduced me to the game and I loved it! So since I played this awesome game at a very young age and enjoyed it at such a young age the nostalgia I get from playing this game over again is tremendous
I smoked Prime in 13 hours and 56 minutes. I admit, I probably should have savored it a bit longer. But, once I get that momentum going, I don't wanna stop. Also, this is some beast platforming music.
When I was 12 I could clear it in under 6 hours, I doubt I could do it in under 20 now.
You forget that the purpose of playing a game is to have fun, not to complete it.
I haven't forgotten anything. Who said I didn't have fun, doing it?
mrbibs350 my fastest time ever to beat this prime game was about 5 hours and 10 minutes.. I lost a buuuuuuuuunch of time killing the omega pirate and ridley.. daaaamn, they never died lol

Prime 1 definitely had the best music. Prime 2's was also pretty good, but I can't recall the entire soundtrack like I can Prime 1. Prime 3's music just wasn't all that memorable in my opinion.
Yeah, Prime 2 wasn't as good (still far from bad though). The submerged temple got annoying pretty fast because of the soundtrack.
I thought Prime 2 had a lot more stand out tracks compared to Prime 1. Prime 1 had a lot, but Prime 2 had a lot more.
I could argue that SkyTown has one of the best themes in the Prime series...
Pretty much what I think:Prime 1 has a lot of great music, Echoes has a decent number of great music, and Corruption has almost none.
This amazing music and comments like these just make me tear up, they make me so happy. Only truly amazing games like this can do this.
That whistle segment gets my Power Suit going
3:15 - 3:53
Chills everywhere...this is best game I've ever played.
Late 90s early 2000s nightime thriller james bondish feel...
cant resist whistling to this
I love this music. Every time I hear it, I feel like I'm on adventure on another alien planet. This game has continued to fuel my love for science, imagination and video games.
This music is both emotional and atmospheric. Despite not having a single word uttered, you feel like it represents the entire mood of the game. Isolation and exploration.
This song almost gives me anxiety because I only remember the back tracking and being stuck, until I think I gave up and looked on the internet after several hours *lol*. Thank you, Gamefaqs!
Thats metroid!
That's my jam.
metroid prime triology saved my life I didn't have that gamecube life so i had to play prime 3 like 4 times till i saw metroid triology was on sale for 10 dollars on wii u store like 6 years later XD this was my facorite MP theme
3:36 to 3:53 this imo is the best outro ever developed in a game, the little "x-files whistle" fading away... It's so fucking awesome
1:12 begins the epic part of the song.
Wish this could get a HD version released for the wii u.
Right? I honestly wished they had waited before making Metroid Prime Trilogy so it could be made for the Wii U's gamepad.
1:12..so melancholic
I can't believe it's been 6+ years since I played this game. I still imagine that Tallon exists somewhere.
Everytime when its rainning this pops up in my head. Never gets old.
Maybe when I make some money, I'll consider getting Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii U eShop. I've always wanted to play the Prime series!
Preston Stephens You should, they are a blast to play!
This shit is my jam, I wanna cruise in a black low rider in the city to this shit! Lol
Still listening to this when I chill and get high.. this game and soundtrack are to good
This song is so perfect for this part of the game. It fits the watery forests just as perfectly as the first, but the sense of ease, of curiosity, of exploring a new world is replaced with a sense of urgency amidst the relaxing atmosphere, for you now know that this beautiful land will soon be ravaged by the Great Poison if you are too slow...
Fantastic theme! Love it. :)
1:10 Best Part ^_^
Every time it rains or there is a storm I just get my iPod 2 out and listen to this while I walk, never gets old. ❤️
The sense of being alone, yet not being alone at all.... Welcome to Tallon
Wow, 1:12 hits my nostalgia nerves SUPER HARD!
Same man makes me feel seven all over again.
Tallon IV Overworld 1: Brinstar from Metroid 1.
Tallon IV Overworld 2: Green Brinstar from Super Metroid.
Ten years ago I was obsessed with the metroid series and this was my favorite game. Time goes by so fast. Wonderful and beautiful memories come back while hearing this :)
When a Full 3D Pokemon RPG with Routes and Grass areas to catch wild pokemon not a map you select an area and you "ride" there, I will die of fangasm.
This could fit in Deus Ex.... i just walked around NYC Streets in the original Deus Ex while listening to this. fits so much
That is an awesome discovery; no sarcasm included.
I'm home
wow, so many memories with that theme
The song itself feels nostalgic :)
10 years later i still think this game is a masterpiece
10 years, it's been 10 years. I still can't believe it... Best game ever
20 years now!

Imagine a WiiU HD remake
HD Prime Trilogy confirmed.
It’s raining super hard outside my house right now. I had to play this.
omg its been that long. i remember playing this when i was 11. oh gosh the memories. ahhhhh. the music makes me wanna play it
Please.. who do I have to kill to get an HD treatment on WiiU? Just touch up the textures a little bit. Give me better water and particle effects, 1080P and keep it at a solid 60fps. Please Nintendo ..Please..
True.. But I meant native 1080P. Its a world of difference vs upscaled.
i have good news for you... the next major metroid title for the WiiU might be in development by the one and only Retro Studios.... we all know what that means...
Chuckle sandwich got me here? 😂
Same
yeah i'm so confused lmao
I just wanted to hear more about Lance Nutthrust
God the memories I was so young back then
Wow. Such memories. So many good moments.
