The theme of one of the biggest twists in video game history.
Lol. I remember the days when I used to think that Samus's name was Metroid. Good times...
Beating this game was one of the most exciting and amazing moments of my life. Pray for a true peace in space!
God I love this song, such an awesome ending, this song is worth beating the game alone.
You're right! But I think when her mission is to SAVE the planet instead of blow it up, she's less likely to blow it up lol
I would agree, except that backtracking is the whole point of Metroid games to me.
i know that fucking feel bro, im a very misserable person and this song has a certain magic that makes me so happy, ending so badass too
I have mixed feeling about a space pirate incursion here on Earth. Wed be overwhelmed. Then Samus comes along. Here's where im unsure. Has anyone else noticed she's just as likely to save the planet as she is to cause planetwide devastation to it?
I LOVE this and the MZM version of this :D
i really hope i'll complete the Metroid Prime Trilogy, since the whole back-tracking thing can really put me off games sometimes lol
everyone: finally i beat this hard ass game, now lets see the face of the cool guy behind that mask *suit comes off* WTF!!!!!??? ITS A GIIRLLLL???...... hey shes kinda hot" lol
6 people thought samus was a guy! Yeah I saw a metroid marathon on jtv last month and the chat went crazy when the suit came off...
@GeonXP89 6 now
Ah, souvenirs, souvenirs... and 5 people exploded with the base.
SOOOOOOOOOOO many memories!!! You rule supradarky!!
Great !! You fulfiled your mission. It will revive peace in space. But, it may be invaded by the other Metroid. Pray for a true peace in space!
I can't even begin to explain the rush of feelings I get when I hear this song. Taking me back to when I was seven years old. This is a testament to how well the guys who worked on this game made something amazing from little. P.S. This is an amazing song, no doubt. But even I, hardcore nintendo fan boy who grew up and loved this tune agrees the Metroid Metal Version of this song done by Stemage is even better. If you haven't already, check it out!
one of the best credit themes ever...
So good they made a Brawl mix.
Best parts of the song are at 0:22 and my favorite 1:30 ish. Just makes me feel like I accomplished something with those games and reminds me of the shock of finding out Samus is a girl. Thanks for the upload. This is fantastic
YES!! YES!! Ever since I've been subscribed to your channel, for MONTHS now, I've waited for this tune to pop up. This might just be my all-time favorite game ending song, out of all the millions of orchestrated and epic themes I've heard, this one touches my heart like no other. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Definitely one of the best ending themes ever, I love how the beginning parts of it are timed with the revelation of Samus' true identity.
Bridget isn't!
Oh my God! Samus is a woman! Stop the presses!
The amount of people who said "Samus is a girl!?" the first times this song was heard... this is gaming history, in 8-bit chiptune.
Where's the famous Samus shot?
Yay! Awesome :3
