Evolution of Metroid Voices (1986-2018)

This video is organized chronologically, but also split between mainline, Prime, and spinoff series. Makes more sense when you watch the video, you can see a literal "evolution" of the Metroids.

0:00 - Metroid (mainline)
2:35 - Metroid Prime
4:05 - Other

The Super Baby Metroid sounds are definitive and that is nonnegotiable

[fungusmeister]

You should have samus screaming in here off metroid dread, she counts as one

[The_Twero]

2:31 loved they recreated the same cry from the Super Metroid

[brenscott]

Gotta say I really appreciate Metroid fusion having a unique sound for the omega Metroid, it actually feels different than the typical "large creature" roar and helps it stand out well, wish they kept that sound design

[venomasmark]

Never realized the Baby Metroid in Samus Returns used the Super cries. That's literally amazing.

[Tounushi]

Dark Samus actually said a word?
Damn, that brings the whole "doppelganger calling your name before death" to a whole new level

[teeman]

When the NES Metroid said "BLOOP...BLIP", i felt that

[EonAce]

I like how the Tallon Metroids have a very similar cry to the baby Metroid in Super, just... way more menacing.

00:48 is the moment we Metroid loyal fans lost a part of our soul...

[Ragswolf]

0:27 And 2:30 = The definitive & iconic sound of a metroid to me.

[ClaireDiVODer]

Kinda felt like I was hearing Pokémon cries, only Metroids.

[pulceilcane]

Holy shit the zeta metroid in returns is just built different

[LightingRakurai]

0:51 I appreciate how they gave different screeches to other Infant Metroids in Fusion.

0:27-2:31 While The Baby's screeches can have it as it's owns to make it more unique in it's species.

[delano]

Metroid 2 may have been old but I still think it was one of the creepier games in the series

[megaplays]

Man I can hear the heavily distorted Baby Metroid cries in the altered Metroids in the Prime games
Wow

[astralflan]

Once you hit Super, the Metroids tend to have this distinct "urrrr-eeee" sound.

[lugiamastero]

I still find it surprising that Metroids can't be infected with X parasites however they can and will be transformed by Phazon even so to the point that it uhh...hmm it created a Metroid with Samus DNA and enhanced greatly with phazon...interesting

[ForceEdge]

It's kind of cute how the Infant Metroid actually does sound a little bit like a crying baby, and such a nice touch how they kept the same effects but toned them down for when it grows up so you actually do recognize it to some extent. Makes the bond that Samus shares with it feel just a bit more real.

[Gray-sanity]

As of metroid dread, you could technically consider Samus and Dark Samus sisters.

[DangerousArmyGuy]

As much as people hate Other M, I honestly like the Baby Metroid and Larva Metroid calls from that game the most. Feels like they match Super Metroid the best. Samus Returns Metroids are pretty awesome too. And it sounds like Dark Samus has a hauntingly human-like voice that sometimes sounds like she's even laughing. And now that Samus is pretty much a Human Metroid, her angry roaring/screaming could count now too.
