All I remember from Metroid is Other M Rildey theme, and that is because I looked it up again recently.
Am I the only one who rarely remembers music from games?
Yes?
Well I'll just see myself out then.

I usually don't remember music unless it's insanely catchy. Like... I think the only three pieces of music I remember from Metroid were from Prime. The Hive mehca theme, the Ridley theme, and Magmoor caverns. In general I definitely remember less music from games than I enjoy.

EDIT: Well if that's what you want to call it. :awesome:

OH. Also, Serris and Yakuza had an awesome theme!

...I despised the Yakuza boss fight, though.

I have no idea why I remember the Hive Mecha theme so well from Prime 1. Did anyone else dig that or is it just me?

As a whole I don't really think Metroid has all that great soundtracks, it's only really Metroid 1 and Super Metroid that hit it home, with Prime 1 also having an above average soundtrack when discounting the remixes. There are at least 1 or 2 great tracks per game though, Prime 2 has the Emperor Ing and Quadraxis themes, Prime 3 has Skytown, Bryyo, Gandrayda and Rundas (that's actually a decent chunk), Metroid 2 has the Tunnel theme, Fusion has that heroic one I can't remember's name, but it plays when you're on your way to fight SA-X at the end, and Other M has... nothing really. Other M has no good original tracks, literally the only good track from the game is Ridley's theme, and while that's arguably the best version of his theme it's still just a remix. Most of the music just sounds like it's been put in a blender to make some panicking sounds.
You missed Torvus Bog from Prime 2, Dark Samus Battle, Ghor, Helios from Prime 3, the underwater theme from Fusion is amazing, Metroid 2 has Surface Runner, and Other M at least has Samus' Resolve.

Does anyone else think that the Meta Ridley theme is kind of lacking compared to Ridley's other themes?

You know what counter argument I don't see from Ridley supporters a lot?

This.

Y'know, the game where OPTIMUS PRIME AND MEGATRON are not that much taller than Bomberman, or Tyson, a child?
That's actually it, really. If OP can be downsized and look just fine, why not Ridley? (Okay maybe it's not 'just fine', but it works.)

If they want they could just make Ridley OP's height by using Snake as a scale.

And with that, this is probably my last post here until he's revealed.

It's because people complain about game design without understanding game design. Characters are made to suit their roles. They aren't permanently trapped in old roles "just because". Look at Hyrule Warriors / Smash Bros. both and Zelda. Characters are changed to fit roles, not the other way around generally.

Also I dunno, I really like Meta Ridley's in particular.

Whatever size Ridley will be, he will always be able to get down titled on the head on the first two platforms of Battlefield.

This is the main reason I want Ridley in, mind you.

I...I Think I could...and some of the avis are Rids...and Kraid so...maybe....but it would take some time...I just need some kind of list to see what I have to draw for each user....
Mine is easy, just represent me as Nah.

For reference:






Also, I can take care of the list part for you if you want.

SO, to my fellow Space Pirates, please direct your requests for how you want to be represented in this lounge drawing to me in some way so that I can compile a list (Just write on my profile page or something). I feel it should be done in this way so that it can be kept in one place and then the process can be streamlined.

Thank you in advance.

Oh my goodness....um, that is going to be a problem....I don't have too much experience drawing anime-like stuff...but I guess i could give it a shot...and easy! that drawing won't be done right away! D: and thank you!

For me I guess it would just be the blue thing in my profile image... Drinking tea and being particularly large.
I don't remember if it was ever supposed to have a body though.

I dunno. If I had to think of something, probably...



Or Sylux. Whichever of the two is less awful to draw. :p

I'm going to ask Ridley with Zoroark's face or Zoroark with Ridley's face, both of them work for me

It doesn't look silly until he turns into a truck.

Why did five people like what is probably the dumbest thing I've ever said in my entire life. xD

Sometimes Ridley likes to hang out with his homies and invites them over for a (not so) playful wrestling match.

Wouldn't it be Draygon, not Crocomire? I thought Crocomire was just a thing chilling out on Zebes.
You'd think, but Draygon's an asshole. The Space Pirates established that Ridley would have his own theme for Super Metroid back on the homeworld, but then Samus gets there and Draygon comes in with Ridley's theme ****ing blaring. So they, of course, have to have a meeting and try to figure out what the **** they're supposed to do with this situation.

Long story short, Crocomire was kind of "adopted" into the Space Pirates because he showed up to a party and brought something other than ice or Mtn. Dew. Guy brought hot wings, was a real nice get-together and everything.

Well. Now we know why Phantoon is crying.

This. And also Crocomire looks much cooler. :awesome:
Why is Phantoon crying?
Maybe because wrestling isn't civilized. Or maybe because Crocomire's magic claws can bypass Phantoon's intangibility.

It's probably a good idea not to question what the hell is going on in my pictures. :estatic:

Probably the one time I'd say Kraid is a bit over-bloated. Perhaps he had too many hot wings or something. Rids however, looks like he lost a few pounds. Gotta prepare for dat dere Sm4sh.:awesome:

I...I Think I could...and some of the avis are Rids...and Kraid so...maybe....but it would take some time...I just need some kind of list to see what I have to draw for each user....
I suppose since I'm a (somewhat) reoccurring member on this thread something representing me would probably be along the lines of this:


I would try to make the image bigger, but time does not permit (I'd have to remake the image, but considering its pixel art, that would take awhile...)

That video was actually posted in this thread before, by Scoliosis Jones. I'm not sure if it was the same video, but he did use that game as an example of why canon size doesn't matter.

I'm not sure who Bender is, but he sounds like a pretty cool guy and is probably the greatest
I gotta say, every time I see you post I imagine you speaking in Bender's voice.:laugh:

All this talk about metroid music and nobody mentions the Serris/Yakuza battle theme?

EDIT: Wait, I was late to the party it seems. Urgh, the internet connection at my parents' place is awful.

What even is that?
The little robot/main character from a game I'm developing (sole person working on) as a freeware title. I call him "Nano." 'Tis his chibi form, that pic is. But enough about that, back to Ridley!

...Sakurai, why must you torture us so?
