Maybe Nintendo doesn’t care aboutMetroid‘s 25th anniversary, but I know some bad dudes who do. You may remember theBad Dudesfrom their amazingCHRONOTORIOUSalbum. Or maybe you know them best for their entire album dedicated toSagat’s themefromStreet Fighter II. Well, this extremely tough and talented group of arrangers (which includes our very own Dale North) is back, this time with a fitting tribute to theMetroidfranchise.
Having listened to the entire album, I’ll say it’s some great stuff (you’re able to check out my reviewhere), but to give you some highlights: there’s Kraid, there’s Ridley, there’s Mother Brain, and yes, there’s even some spore-spawn mini-boss action fromSuper Metroid. From rock to hip hop to jazz fusion, these are great arrangements worthy of any fan’s attention. The physical album is now on sale in limited quantities (only 1,000 printed), soget on it!
Are you a fan of past Bad Dudes releases, and are you at all surprised that Nintendo has largely ignored this momentous occasion in the history of theMetroidfranchise?
