Today I can present something I’ve been wanting to do since Metroid Prime 4 came out, which is another update to Soulless Enemies. Since it’s 2026, as usual the new version is called Soulless Enemies 2026.

This is the second update to this Metroid medley, although it’s not as ground-breaking as the first one (called the Cold Edit) or the last medley (The Legend 2026) which updated the majority of how it sounds and really the entire song more or less. For the 2026 version I left most of the song intact, but did some smaller adjustments here and there with adjusting sounds, switching a few parts around, increasing the volume of the drums a bit and stuff you might not even notice.

The biggest changes are to the VS Ridley parts at the start and end, I changed that completely to make it sound more intense and closer to the actual theme instead of the original’s more eerie extended 4/4 beat. The other big change – and the main reason for the 2026 version – is the addition of Sylux’s Theme from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. I struggled with that quite a bit, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out in the end.

Now without further ado, here’s Soulless Enemies 2026:

To see which songs play where exactly, I recommend checking the video:

And with that done, I need to prepare “you know what” for the end of the month 😉

After skipping a month, I’m back with another remake, and this time it’s The Legend – an Ocarina of Time medley. Since the game gets a remake, I thought it was time to bring this song back and update it – and yeah, it’s quite an update (not sure about upgrade, but you can decide that for yourself).

Instead of the more techno approach of the original, I tried to use more fitting instruments (Zelda’s Lullaby excluded, because I really liked how it sounded), while leaving the basic beat. Especially for the warp songs I wanted to include the back and forth with the harp and the flute to imitate how you learn those songs in the game. But enough talk, let’s hear it:

I did play around with the video stuff again, checking some presets, and I found some really cool stuff, I think this one looks nice, it’s more dynamic while still simple, and I can display the current song of the medley on the top right. Pretty neat!

Thank you for watching my stuff, I really appreciate it! Until you next month 😉

A little late, but in time for the release of the latest entry in the Rhythm Heaven series, I present: Monke Step.

It’s a remix of Tap Trial and Tap Trial 2 from the Rhythm Heaven series. And that’s about it, honestly – so without further ado, here it is:

Feels weird to change the video template every 5 videos or so, but let’s see how long this one lasts – for now I quite like it:

In other news, summer has been pretty hot so far, and there was a lot going on both at work and at home this last month, which all left me quite exhausted lately. I think I’ll take a nap right now – and I’ll see you next month with a new song hopefully 😉
