@@metroidmckay It is actually "Theme of Super Metroid". Theme of Samus Aran is a different song in Super Metroid but since it has never been reused/remixed and the recent games, along with Smash Bros use the Super Metroid theme as Samus' theme, it is referred to as Samus' theme.
Hopefully Nintendo realizes their sleeping on a fantastic IP and put their hands on bringing Metroid Prime Trilogy to Switch and show us a little more for MP4
@@see.eye.2361 Considering how the franchise has done in the past, I'm just happy it was nominated so people can know the games exist 😭. Plus it won Best Action Adventure so..... W.
YOOOOOO METROID IS THE MOST REPLAYED!!!!! Just goes to show that the series has amazing and memorable music and that the GOTY Orchestra knocked it out of the park. Great Job everyone!
This is the problem with many of the people in the Metroid community right here. Always gotta be acting like you know everything, and always gotta be correcting people on minuscule details. It’s no wonder people think y’all are a bunch of nerds
It’s no surprise that Metroid’s music took the cake, Nintendo consistently deliver with their soundtracks, spanning multiple genres and exploring different themes.
Honestly any of the other nominations would have been better Not to be toxic or anything but it takes two was like the least interesting game on the list
They were so creative with the game mechanics. It never got stale or repetitive even though the premise stays the same the whole game and you pretty much know what the ending is gonna be from the start.
@@changsiah2 no they shouldn't, it takes two was the best designed game by a country mile. Village was an average turd thats 6 hours long. Metroid is great game but its nowhere near beating out somthing this special.
Sick of the comparisons to 2018s version. Yea it was great and it’s my favorite but all these other one from 2019-2021 have been great as well, appreciate them for what they are. That being said Samus main theme & Deathloops theme orchestra versions were an epic way to close it. Loved this years orchestra can’t wait for 2022s.
What were those 90's video game composers smoking. The Metroid Theme that has been around for 30 years sounds so different and unique compared to all the modern games in this compilation. Not saying they sound bad though. We need a return to form when it comes to video game soundtracks.
Remember when the first Metroid Dread trailer dropped and ppl called it an indie game and said it wasnt gonna be worth the money? And now look, it won best action game 🔥
@@JojoplayAB You would sadly be surprised at how many people don't know Metroidvanias were invented in part from Metroid and not the other way around. That's how.
This damn slapped, probably the best goty orchestral imo, however, I’m Very salty that psychonauts 2 didn’t win a single award, but there’s always “that” game in these (I.e. doom eternal last year and assassins creed odyssey in 2018). But It takes 2 definitely deserved it this year, props to them.

@Ramon Lopez ?
Yeah, 2018 it best one for me
@Ramon Lopez you don’t appreciate music
@Ramon Lopez no u
@Ramon Lopez Haha seriously? It's the best thing in this award show. You should just remove your comment.
This year was truly a revival for the Metroid franchise. Listening to its theme among the GOTY nominees made me tear up a bit.
Go touch some grass
Yeah it felt awesome
It may not have won this year but you'll get another chance when Prime 4 releases, Metroid is back.
Tear up a bit? I’m sobbing lmao
It would have been a well deserved GOTY however "It Takes Two" was a deserved winner in my opinion. :)
OST Title:
1. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart-> "Rift Apart"
2. It Takes Two-> "It Takes Two Theme"
3. Psychonauts 2-> "Psychonauts 2 Title and Prologue"
4. Resident Evil Village-> "Yearning for Dark Shadows"
5. Metroid Dread-> "Theme of Samus Aran"
6. Deathloop-> "Welcome to Blackreef"
Whoever you are, THANK YOU
The metroid song is actually called samus' theme

Listening to the Metroid theme felt like the franchise was showing how powerful it can be and what heights it can reach.
Hopefully Nintendo realizes their sleeping on a fantastic IP and put their hands on bringing Metroid Prime Trilogy to Switch and show us a little more for MP4
Yeah. Way to make a comeback, Metroid!
not even a metroid fan but "was showing how powerful it can be" gave me shivers lol
The Best Game at 2021.
Metroid Dread 😊💙🔥
Samus's theme got me all choked up! Such a powerful rendition
Hearing the Theme of Samus at such a massive event was amazing! Metroid is finally getting the appreciation it deserves.
Orchestra Timeline:-
0:09 Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
0:39 It Takes Two
1:10 Psychonauts 2
1:40 RE Village
2:11 Metroid Dread
2:45 Deathloop
We know that thanks to the Jumbotron behind the orchestra
Heard the Samus Theme in the Game Awards is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just insane. 😮💨🥲💖
The Metroid part was godly
Hearing metroid music orchestrated in the game awards was unreal
2:10 Listen to the Theme of Super Metroid orchestrated was a bless!
Was hoping to see Metroid Dread win but seeing It Takes Two win is still a W in my book.
Veteran Metroid fans have to be one of the most humble fan bases out there
@@see.eye.2361 Considering how the franchise has done in the past, I'm just happy it was nominated so people can know the games exist 😭.

It isn't. People shouldn't call 2020 corrupt when this won
Gadly that didn't won
no copromise, only dread
The Metroid segment was Godlike!
Of course it was, it's just Nintendo things. 😉
@@pikosapikos13 nintendo things? what do you mean? lol
@@nintony2994 They create excellent music video game tracks.
@@nintony2994no nintendo game with bad themes
Not gonna lie, the transition from Metroid Dread to Deathloop is pretty sick.
Deathloop has a great soundtrack
Deathloop is the best ending of this Orchestra... Feels like neo noir spy films
Same👍👍👍
it fells like an actual song tbh
2:10 the best part
ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN
I'm a little sad Village didn't make it, but I'm super happy for the team who made It Takes Two. What a monumental moment for them.
It takes two really desrves it.
@@TheRj725 nah
@@TheRj725 It takes two proved that you don't need to make blockbuster game to win GOTY. It is not my type of game but not well deserved
It Takes Two is better than Resident Evil Village
In the other hand, Lady D's VA won Best Performance. Well, at least Village won one category.
YOOOOOO METROID IS THE MOST REPLAYED!!!!!
Just goes to show that the series has amazing and memorable music and that the GOTY Orchestra knocked it out of the park. Great Job everyone!
Man, the Metroid Song is awesome, and with the Orchestra it becomes even better
Dude, Samus theme from Metroid is just ICONIC
We finally get to hear samuse s main theme in orchestrated form
The main theme of metroid dread is so epic!!!
That's not the main theme of Metroid Dread
That's the Metroid Theme in general
@@ErickGameplaysN64 It's actually Super Metroid's theme, although it was later dubbed as "Theme of Samus Aran"
@@panligero it's actually the prologue Theme, Samus's Theme is different
This is the problem with many of the people in the Metroid community right here. Always gotta be acting like you know everything, and always gotta be correcting people on minuscule details. It’s no wonder people think y’all are a bunch of nerds
The biggest takeaway here is that Metroid Dread's theme goes absolutely hard!!!
The Metroid Theme was just Supreme
Amazing!!!
Hearing Samus theme is just 👌
JOSEF FARES U LEGEND! so happy for him
Seeing everyone show love for a Metroid truly makes me happy that there are fans out there who really support this franchise.
Metroid dread theme sounded so epic!!!
The fact that everyone in the comments is talking about metroid shows it deserved to win
nah, even now, it takes two still deserves it most
Don't mind me, i'm just headbanging to Samus theme like is the hottest rock song ever.
By far my most favorite goty medley so far
The orchestra gets better and better every year. This medley is one of my personal favorites too.
2018 was such a banger tho
@@lurker_san4162019 as well but the 2021 one was iconic
This way the day were the Game Awards got it right, congrats to It Takes Two and all the ones who made this masterpiece
The Orchestra killed it!
All great games and hearing the ochestra play all the themes man its just awesome
You can sense that the drummer is Metroid fan.
The moment they switched to Metroid you realize it's an icon and a classic theme.
It really hits different.
100% well deserved. Such a special, fun, unique game. It was beautiful!
2:11
The last Metroid has survived.
The Galaxy is at peace.
that transition from It Takes Two to Psychonauts was legendary ngl
The guitar during the deathloop medley was godlike, only a few chords and it gave me goosebumps
True that
🗣Ayo...that metroid melody was super hot 🔥
man came out of no where and made few games and already got GOTY award. what a legend
You can tell some musicians are banging to the music. Watch when they do metroid dread
Dude on drums was havin the best night
It’s no surprise that Metroid’s music took the cake, Nintendo consistently deliver with their soundtracks, spanning multiple genres and exploring different themes.
Metroid: Dread wasn’t even nominated for best soundtrack, no Nintendo game was.
@@chilihunter7392 and it is an absolute crime for Nintendo to rarely get nominated
@@moddedinkling4168 agreed
When Metroid Prologue Theme kicks in
The orchestra was beautiful 👾
He's the main character in life and we are all just side characters.
2:10 Goosebumps man
2022 game awards is going to be stacked with the games just announced.
Seriously. Especially for PS gamers, geezus. It's going to be a war next year.
This one was epic, but it just doesn't come close to 2018 man!!! Already hyped for next year's orchestra!!
Fully deserved!! If it's not Metroid, this was the best choice.
really dude metroid dread or re village should have won but ok

This give me vibe 2018 ochrestra althought 2018 still masterpiece for me
2018 was a phenomenal year for games!!
2017 was a better gaming year imo
Ratchet and Clank and Metroid Dread were awesome.
Bro how they played the metroit theme made me always come back to this video 😭
The transitions are perfect
Hearing It takes two main theme for the first time is so emotional
In 2021 we had a Playstation nominee, a Xbox nominee and a Nintendo nominee. Thats incredible
Yeah, all of them popped off last year, hope its the same or similar this year
That's my friend conducting!!
Loved the director's Energy!
1:43 😢❤ Épico juegazo👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Para mí de corazón se llevo el goty 2021
years later and I've still got a crush on the guitarist
Such an amazing game definitely earned that win
we could actually see Metroid appear again next year in 2025
This year was a renaissance for platformer games
Beautiful orchestra

my man spitting straight bars
If Metroid Launches this year, 2024, it will won
Everyone else is in a fancy suite and my man Josef is just wearing a t-shirt and jeans, what a legend.
Metroid returned and dominated!
Happy that it takes two won. Such a great game.
the most epic part is the metroid
La parte de Metroid me deja los pelos de punta
having just heard totk's 3rd trailer theme, imagine the orchestra for 2023
This year the composition was wonderfully balanced and smooth. Must have been fun to play it. Beautifully crafted.
The highlights for me was with Psychonauts 2 and Metroid Dread.
The guitarist was gorgeous
Loved her part during death loop
Biggest snub ever. Metroid is obviously the GOTY in 2021. Still cant believe it.
Ratchet and clank deserverd
@@SebaFuentesNo, Metroid. Metroid was the real GOTY game 92 points and if it wouldn't won was because it was a 2D game which is a lame reason.
@@SebaFuentesI have both games. Metroid was better.
Fully deserved, unbelievable level design. So much fun.
It Takes Two really deserved it, stunning visuals and the gameplay is awesome, we need more games like that.

At least Metroid Dread got the award of "Best Action and Adventure Game".
It's not like It Takes Two won for no reason
a lot of those nominees did, they are all awesome games, most of them deserved the award

Not gonna lie, it hurts that Insomniac Games literally haven't won any awards in the three years their games were nominated.
It takes two did it!!!!
Still the best goty orchestra we got 2018 and 19 are close but this was iconic
The 2020 one is better imo
