A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Gamecube
Metroid Prime (2002)
Phendrana Drifts (Demo Disc Version)

Really interesting to hear how different this is compared to the final version. However, I'm in love with what they did at 2:05 - 2:42 It just sounds so good. It would be sick to see that part incorporated into a Phendrana Drifts cover/remix. I know I would
Nice to see a throwback to the second track ever posted on this list!
Always a memorable theme from Metroid Prime. Too much love!
Imo the better version
They should've used this for the Cliffs section instead of that Techno mix.
Soo great! :D
Aaah yes, the times when Nintendo didn't shy away from alien and horror elements. Good times.
Almost like a remix! I ain't even mad tho!
Awesome bso for an outstanding game. The only problem: I found 3 or 4 of the artifacts really hard to get without checking a guide. Other than that, the game is too cool (even cooler than the phendrama drifts heeee).
love this song love this song love this song
I didn't know about this! Though I still prefer the in-game version, this is a nice initial version too. What is that vocal noise I can hear saying at 00:41? Apparently Retro Studios have been called on by Nintendo to make another Metroid game. Alongside Federation Force hopefully, and not actually Federation Force.
I love the mix between organic alien choir and mechanic noises. Metroid OST are so underrated.
+Maicon “Night” Berté I dunno if it's underrated but I've run into more than one sillyhead who thinks this game's soundtrack is weak or even outright bad. Probably just people who don't like the game itself though. Me, this is probably my favorite game of all time.
Never heard this version before. I think I prefer it.
This is nice, but I certainly think they went in the right direction with removing the vocals and softening the drum track. It's always good to see the steps people took when developing music.
just slightly different
YES! Very deserving of being on the list. This fits very well with me on this day; Here in Ohio we have had a very warm December so far, and today was freezing cold (22 F) so this is perfect for tonight :D Thanks Supra.
There's synthesized vocals at :45.
I figured I'd upload the demo version of this classic during my winter theme uploads. I think most people didn't even know about this! Of course, I'm used to the great original, but I also really like what I guess is an earlier draft. I really wonder what Retro is up to... please be Metroid Prime 4.
+Sitting on Ceilings Federation Force is just a spinoff, I doubt it will have any major effect on the series.
+SupraDarky I remember the demo disk but not the amazing song on it, the nostalgism is all coming back now!
+SupraDarky I really hope it's MP4 for NX
I for one like what Retro is doing with Donkey Kong. When they finish their own Country trilogy then maybe they can go back to Metroid, although even then I would prefer for them to tackle a different series.
