Metroid, Super Metroid and Metroid Prime's soundtracks aren't just great; they perfectly match each game, and show how technology and game design changed over the years. Read dialacina's latest.
Ok, Samus might be a cop. At the very least she’s definitely a Space Natty Bumppo. Look,It’s a three way tie for me, between. Which one has the most iconic opening theme? If you ask my mother,Castlevania
have centered themselves in my life, it’s Hirokazu Tanaka’s score that has cemented itself. I know it from the opening drone, sinister, expansive. The vacuum of space that gives way to the synthetic twinkling of stars and a melody expressive of the myriad possibilities and how we feel looking up at the night sky. Full of mystery, hope, and potential.If there’s one composition more iconic than the opening, it’s not the driving heroism of Brinstar, or even the murky, disjointed oddness of Norfair.
But it’s also a very different game. Samus has always been a bounty hunter, a space cop, for the Galactic Federation. She’s always killed Space Pirates . But from the title screen to the main theme, Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano establish a much darker tone. This is an eradication mission. Yes, we will explore. But Samus is after payback. After all, they stole her weird alien bio-weapon baby and murdered an entire research station. Pounding timpani drums rumble underneath militant horn and the kind of synth choir samples that later Souls games bask in.Technically, the soundtrack is a revolution. The audio capabilities of the Super Nintendo vastly outstripped its progenitor.
Right off the bat the creeping skitters and swirling of whistle-like synth let us know this is a differentmovie score than what we’d think of aseven. Sharp eerie whistles across the cosmos, and ghostly robotic respirations. And still those damn digital skitters and crunches. The sound of someKenji Yamamoto brings all the sampling power of the GameCube to bear to create dense, atmospheric layers of sound and its absence.
