Naw, that grimy, pixelated, scary original is 100 times better. No sound is as atmospheric as the original Super Metroid theme song.
So I'm replaying Super Metroid again..

This game is FAR better than Mega Man X. Most basic game design ever.I always hear it's GOAT and I always envision a different Kinda Mega Man X. Is it better or the same level?

That new Metroid on the 3DS is just okay. Game was very repetitive and got boring after a while.
Graphically and control wise it's pretty good. The 3DS hardware limits it significantly.
The music in the game is composed of 16 bit sounds on 8 channels. It's amazing. But they could only do so much. The remastered versions are live synth sounds with the same programming.
I don't know if you know about using a synthesizer and or programming music in 8-bit/16 bit etc, but you utilize the same filter settings on wav forms with the same combination of patches, oscillators and filters to make the same sounds .
Obviously nes/ snes could only support 8bit/16 bit music but these are the real lush sounds of those instruments in full detail.
I think they've done it because I know there are super metroid and other metroid collection soundtracks, but think of Zelda. They do live symphonies of Zelda in cities all over the US and in Japan yearly. While it's feasible, super metroid can't be accomplished as well with live orchestration. It can be done and can be amazing but you have to have the synth to achieve that eerienesss, creepiness and create that ambiance.
The fact that it's done so well in the game is just a testamate to the composer.
Put this shyt on some surround sound and be immersed.

Zero Mission>>> the movement in that game was so tight and precise, i loved it.

I like MMX more, but quality wise it's the same level. Different kind of game though, for sure. X is pure action, Metroid is more an adventure with action elements.

I loved that game, I do agree about the hardware limitation. A Switch port would be great
That one you posted is coo but it sounds too far away at times. The remake of the Super Metroid Theme song is trash, listen to the grittiness of the original and listen again to the one you posted, it's not close. Certain songs sound better with the decayed grittiness-- that's why we have minimalist sounds and producers-- and the Super Metroid Theme is one of the those songs.
Yes indeed!! 
That's my GOAT video game

One of best games of all time. You could blast through it in a couple of couple of hours or spend 10 or 12 really drinking in the ambience.
Really a shining example of the master craft of Nintendo.

Of those games super metroid and sotn are the real classics but all good games
