The composer Sam Dillard, will be releasing an album called Metroid Cinematic and will be an homage to what he calls his all time favorite game Super Metroid. The album will be available on iTunes this October.
Here is a quote form the composer himself about his project;
“The concept is somewhere between a faithful rendition of the classic themes and what a Metroid film might sound like if I worked on it. Since I am really a filmmaker and storyteller at heart, nearly all of my work from the audio to the visual spectrum stems from a sort of movie-oriented direction. So this album is really focused on the idea of telling a story and providing a tangible atmosphere through the music.”
Club Nintendo members in Japan can get their hands on a 2-disc soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The soundtrack consists of 105 tracks total and cost 250 coins.
