Video Game Saga *

Hello everyone,

So after majorly rocking out to this bad ass Golden Axe- Battlefield remix song, it has inspired me to start this thread I love love love music, it's a huge part of life especially video game music. So that being said, I know others feel the same, so this will be a great thread for us all to post and share video game music that we have discovered, whether it is from Youtube or Ocremix, you name it. Feel free to post the links here and share the video game music goodness! Also, for those that don't know, Video Game Saga's Co-Founder TonyB is a very talented gentleman who can produce kick ass gaming inspired music, please be sure to check out his works here His music can also be heard in his Retry openers and vids.

I will start off by posting this bad ass remix from the Battlefield level in Golden Axe:

Ok, I got to pimp the Music I made.  Although it is not based on a specific game theme, they are all inspired by classic and modern games.

Click here, they are in the VGS Music Channel!

Let me add 2 of my fav's, and you can download the songs for free by clicking the links.

Game: Top Gear 2 (Kemco, 1993, SNES)ReMixer(s): bLiNdComposer(s): Ashley Bennett, Patrick Phelan, Paul Hiley

Game: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Nintendo, 1987, NES)ReMixer(s): bLiNdComposer(s): Akito Nakatsuka

Your music freaking rocks bro! I'm not just saying that either cause your my best bud. I have to say my favorite song of yours is "Need for the Shepard" it could easily easily be featured in a Castlevania video game!

Thanks for submitting those links, the Top Gear 2 remix rocked!

So here is some more of my contributions:

-Theme of Ryu from Street Fighter IV OST

-The music of the classic arcade western Sunset Riders

-Nyru's Love from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time The piano is absolutely beautiful in this piece

Here's a LEGENDARY remix of one of the greatest themes of all time--"the Moon" from Ducktales NES.

Game: Ducktales (Capcom, 1990, NES)ReMixer(s): Star SalzmanComposer(s): Yoshihiro SakaguchiSong(s): 'The Moon'

I am listening to this one right now...

Game: The Adventures of Bayou Billy (Konami, 1989, NES)ReMixer(s): Evil HordeComposer(s): Atsushi Fujio, Hidenori Maezawa, Kyouhei Sada, Shinkon OguraSong(s): 'Gun Shootin' ~ Shootout (Stage 4 BGM)', 'Street & Swamp Fightin' (Stages 1, 3, 6, 8 BGM)'

Some N64 Extreme-STRAIGHT-G love...

Game: Extreme-G (Acclaim, 1997, N64)ReMixer(s): bLiNdComposer(s): Simon Robertson

There you go, 3 more incredible tracks to listen to, that will make you feel like a little kid!  Enjoy!

There is some great music in both "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena" and "The Darkness" (especially with the end titles), both made by Starbreeze Studios. If they ever release CDs of the original score from both games I would so go after them.

Then there is all of the "Hitman" games, done by Jesper Kyd. Wonderful stuff and I have been fortunate to acquire the original scores to all four of those games. And if I ever find the CD for the score of "Freedom Fighters"  I would get that too. It's a shame though that he has not released a CD of his "MDK2" score.

As for older stuff, I really liked most of the music from "GoldenEye" and "Perfect Dark" (both the original and X360 remake). And I was very impressed by the music from "Turok 2: Seeds of Evil".

I am also partial to the some of the radio stations featured in the GTA games but that is probably due to the fact that I have spent so much time with those games writing guides for them.

RARusk,

I agree with you man, Chronicles of Riddick featured some kick ass music that was very fitting for the game and movie it's based off. As for Goldeneye, well that stellar title did everything perfect down to the music as you have mentioned and the stellar sound effects. Are you excited for the Goldeneye remake?

P.S. TonyB, props for busting out Extreme-G and Bayou Billy! Awesome games man

I like this, lets keep this going!

How can something called a "Sakura Booty Mix" be bad?

Game: Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Capcom, 1996, PS1)ReMixer(s): Marc StarComposer(s): Alph Lyla, Setsuo Yamamoto, Shun Nishigaki, Tatsuro SuzukiSong(s): 'Sakura Stage'

Fei Long track:

Game: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Capcom, 1994, SNES)ReMixer(s): Star SalzmanComposer(s): Alph Lyla, Isao Abe, Yoko Shimomura, Yoshihiro SakaguchiSong(s): 'Fei Long Stage'

Yeah buddy I love that bootymix! It's got my booty moving, great stuff man!

So I was browsing Youtube for Pokemon music and there are hundreds of great songs for Pokemon. I wanted share with you this cool video that someone made that features all 12 theme songs from the Pokemon cartoons, this will certainly take a lot of you back, I know it did me

Am I excited for the GoldenEye remake? No.

After what Nintendo did to stop the official remake of RareWare's classic N64 version I have very low expectations of this new version. Although it looks promising from what I have seen it is not what I want which is the the N64 remake. We'll see what happens when this new version is released.

The game totally has promise! The footage I've seen at E3 and such looks very faithful in many aspects while still kinda taking on a fresh approach. Since we are on the topic of Golden Eye I figured I would share this theme song opening from Golden Eye on the N64:

I can't enough of this insanely catchly tune by Passion Pit called Sleepyhead, it is actually included in the Little Big Planet 2 Trailer. Check out the song, great stuff:

I second this, and I will wait for a LOT of reviews before it gets any of my money.
