VG Soundtrack of the Day 069: Metroid


Even for a game that originated during what some would consider the sound era of bleeps and blops, the music of Metroid still manages to stand out. Samus' trek through a hostile alien world begins with the triumphant, heroic theme of Brinstar but once you reach Norfair, the music changes to reflect a deeper descent into the unknown. In Japan, Metroid was released on the FDS (Famicom Disk System) and a few of the tracks benefit from the disk system's hardware. I personally prefer the NES version tracks over the FDS tunes, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. The embedded YouTube video contains the music from both the NES and FDS versions.
