Happy Birthday Metroid!
Metroid just turned 25 yesterday!
It´s amazing how gaming was changed after the release of the original Metroid, 25 years ago. Platforming exploration was born, and Samus was the first strong heroine of gaming history.
To celebrate the occasion, the great people of shinesparkers.net produced an awesome tribute album with songs of the entire Metroid saga. Darren, the project director, was kind enough to let me participate with one track. There´s a lot of variety of styles, and some neat surprises. If you haven´t downloaded it yet, get it here:
Harmony of a Hunter
I participated with "Danger in old Tourian", my own version of the Space Pirates song in Super Metroid. Instead of making epic orchestrated arrangements, I decided to go for the atmosphere, and try to recreate what my feelings were when I first heard the song.
The rest of the album is simply impressive, it shows how professional and dedicated the Metroid fan community is.
Thanks to all the people who contacted me about the hard drive, I´m still doing some research on the subject, seems like the solution to this isn´t as simple as it seemed.
Anyway, enjoy the album. Feel free to share what your favorite songs are, here or in the forums.

*audiophile-gasms, then glares at Stemage for supporting the loudness wars*
I'm a bit sad though that there's no Torvis Bog. :(
Happy Birthday and good luck for the next 25 years, Samus.
DM64, I'm listening to your track right now and I must say, it is incredible.

Thanks again.
Already did a few weeks abo when they played in Auburn, WA. Fucking awesome!
Anyway, great song you made DoctorM64. When I played Super Matroid for the 1st time back in 1995 I got this same feeling, as dark as you put in the melody. Very opposite in comparision with other games made back then in SNES.
Congratulations! And let M2R come!
since nintendo doesn't really care about metroid.. maybe you could :D!
lets party and ceelbrate the 25th birthday of samus with a new beta :D! (or final) whahaha
nah just kidding, but not about the nintendo part.. they just don't care about samus :(
greetz!
I'm really disappointed in Nintendo's lack of enthusiasm for the Metroid series. Metroid has some of the greatest fans ever, this is made very clear with the Metroid anniversary and all the fan games that are being made. Nintendo should really make a game that would really satisfy the Metroid community instead of making the game more action oriented for a more generic community of people. I'm starting to think that Metroid doesn't really belong to Nintendo anymore, it seems to belong to the the entire community of people that love and support the series.
Anyways, I really hope you get the hard drive problem fixed. Be careful with that!
See you at the next Mission! =)
P.s. Fucking nice music by the way ;)
Btw: This year Metroid 2 comes to VC for the 3DS.
it's a wonderful tech demo !!!
The dubstep in the album was the best I have ever heard. (Most dubstep sounds *really* bad. So I was impressed.) I really like the "Kraid's Campfire Ballad" It sounds unique.
I waited to reply to fully analyze the music. :P
Happy Anniversary, Metroid!

I can't wait to fight the metroids in better graphics, Metroid 2 is my favorite and the best thing that could happen is playing it in better graphics, 100% in the classic 2D platform style, all for free.
I have to thank DoctorM64 again and again and again for this.
Hey guys, it's been a (fill in the blank) month, and some progress was made. Sorry for the update on the forums, but after all, this is a fake. Getting closer to completing the final project. Maybe I will release a demo sometime. Did some more touch ups on the (graphical stuff that was completed already) and its looking (adjective). Thanks for you support on the song, It was pretty pimp!
Other than that,I have a life, and I think I will live it and make this game by myself as a side project. Did I mention that takes time and you should probably go about your lives instead of wait by the computer? Okay, see you bitches in a month!
ya know, it's one thing to comment saying that doc has other things to do, and telling us not to worry (and really it's a break from the usual trolls, thanks for that), but it's another thing to comment "posing" as the doc and making a really uneducated post like that.
you don't live next to the doc, or are personal friends with him (i'm assuming) so you really have no right to say such things. you don't know the project's progress any more than the next guy, so i'll kindly say, please leave the updating to the real doc.
or if you are the real doc using an Anonymous name, then thanks for the fruitful update, at least we got something. :/
oh, by the way, even if this doesn't get read by you, it will just go to show that trolls never win in these kinds of situations anyway, they just post and leave like little kids.
i've been following this project for a few years now, and i've made many Anonymous comments. but it doesn't make me or anyone else "god".
I'm really, terribly sorry my uneducated post offended you so deeply. I hope that it didn't cause you to miss too much work/school/kindergarden and you were able to make a full recovery. I don't know if you caught it, but that was not the real doc posting. It was just me, joking around. Not wearing some cleaver, elaborate disguise. You remember what jokes are, right? Maybe you call them parents? I don't know. But just for people such as yourself, right in the top of the post, I put "this is fake", which roughly translates to: This is fake, this is not a real post, the DOC would not post in the forums, for the love of god it's a fake post, fake fakey fake Mc Fuckinfakerson! Next time I will order a clown to jump out while you read the post and sing "this is not real, this is not real" while stuffing ballon animals up your ass. It must have been rough growing up without humor there in the Hitler household, ya?
Anyway, If you still are scratching your head, thinking what the devil could he mean...IT WAS A JOKE, GO CHANGE YOUR TAMPON.
PS - I realize you love the word troll, I get it. Take it easy tiger. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but you are still inbred.
God, I has question...
Why do internet thunderfucks such as "anon #5" get their panties all twisted up so very easily? Does it have to do with global warming?
So, ya, you'll get those people.
***This line is for people who don't get that this is not the real God posting - THIS IS NOT THE REAL GOD POSTING.***
Hope I cleared some things up.
haha u trolls r funneh
