Metroid 2 actually has a pretty good soundtrack. It's a shame Samus Returns didn't deliver in the music department. It's downright criminal that they changed the Queen's theme

Samus Returns has the best Metroid 2 track though

good ol queen B

Best Metroid 2 song (rearrange)

yes

metroid metal is the shit

>there are people on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW that think that version of samus suit isnt the best version

woah there, junior! I never said anything like that

anybody know what hard mode in am2r changes?

You get less missiles per missile expansion as I recall, might take more damage from attacks as well

added an x parasite fight you kill its host and it runs of thanks to the presence of the baby rather than instantly infecting samus

liar

Now, I love Metroid II as much as the next contrarian, and it has some good songs in it, but come on man, 90% of the songs are beep boop ambient crap. Which isn't inherently bad, but when you're running around a samey looking maze, it's a lot better if you have some catchy tunes to listen to.

I'm convinced a big part of why people have trouble putting up with M2 is because the music makes exploring a lot less rewarding.

Technically the Queen's theme is in the game but it's more like a "The track is mostly new while the original track is remixed into it" kind of song

The tracks had to be ambient. Because of GB limitations they needed to be short and looped often, which is why ambient works better,

What's pretty neat is the new tracks in Samus Returns have the beeps and boops in them

So the Chozo discovered and set up their labs to study Aeion on SR-388. I'm guessing Aeion is unique to the planet?

Is it safe to assume that Aeion is what causes the Metroids to go through metamorphosis exclusively on their home planet?

yes and it's either aeion or the X-parasite

what I'm wondering is how aeion transformed into X-parasites. Phazon?

natural selection

Samus Returns version sounds like something from Twilight Princess.

Completely agree. I loved Metroid 2, and think the remake is amazing, but the music is easily some of the weakest in the series. Not that it's bad, but the other games have such great tracks, and Metroid 2 kinda falls short of that musical glory.

>It's downright criminal that they changed the Queen's theme
Now is it just me or was the Queen Metroid's theme in SR a remix of its theme from M2 with some of Mother Brain's theme in there?

This sounded to me like something out of Deus Ex.

Probably beating a dead horse but AM2R had waaay better music than SR

actually just thought up of something new

>betrayer either wants power or is pissed off that the chozo are fucking with nature and spreading technology across the world (like Bryyo lore).
>Constructs a plan to mutate aeion to fuck over harvesting, turns aeion into X-parasites.
>doesn't work, metroids are made to counter it
>begins devising new plan, gains support from the inside

I'd prefer that the X Parasites were a natural development, otherwise we'd be stuck in "Chozo did everything, lol" territory.

you're right. I heard it too
disagree on this one just on the principle of those tracks being too upbeat. Cept the metroid fight theme and the queen fight, I do like those. and Area 1.

nah SR is better overall

hydro station is the best of the two though

hydro station > SR > AM2R

>2d/10 reveal
That shit was spookier than it had any right to be.

Umm, guess again sweetie :)

lol no

>Prime 1 varia
Now if you said the Prime 2/3 Varia, then you would have been correct

we've discussed this many times, prime 2 varia suit is perfection

My man. Both were good but SR was still one of the weaker Metroid games in terms of music, whereas AM2R is actually one of the best.

I think we need more original music in the series but the tunnel theme is something that should be remixed again. I liked its remix in SR but I think it could be a nice semi-recurring theme. Honestly with the way SR remixed a ton of themes all willy-nilly, I think we're reaching the point where it'd just be nice to hear some new music for a change.

Surface of SR388 did need to be used more though.

Damn straight.
