After Zelda II now comes Metroid II. And there isn't really much to say here. While I have a soft spot for the game, there is only one catchy tune here to listen to: the SR388 Main Theme. Most of the rest is just atmospheric noise.
The soundtrack of the remake was much better on that regard and I'm hoping they won't wait years before they add this one. Same with Metroid Dread. And now that Metroid Prime 4 is coming in less than two months, you would expect the soundtracks for Echoes and Corruption, maybe even Hunters. But maybe they are going to tie this to the corresponding Nintendo Switch Online releases, starting with Metroid Prime 2... Maybe next month?
But what needs to be added first and foremost is Super Metroid. I can't believe that this isn't part of the library yet...

I actually prefer the OST for this one to the 2017 remake. I have a soft spot for the atmospheric noises as we get deeper into the planet. It might be the nostalgia talking, but I never get enough of the Game Boy sound chip.
The noises feel like you're alone in the middle of nowhere like nothing else, with danger lurking just around the corner, and then you feel that surge of relief when you step into one of the Chozo temples with its regular calming music, before being surprised by that ear-splitting Metroid battle theme.
