lol I know! Him and Baby Bowser have always been two of my favorite villans. I hope the new Golden Sun has some good music like it's predecessors!

I REALLY love fighting games! And DOA is one of my favorite ^_^

So beautiful, melodic, with a touch of VENGEANCE!

In DOA Kasumi is my best character, but Helena is a close second. I love her themes! I'm playing DOA 4 tonight before the Harry Potter 7 premiere!

Sonic (The music for this game and its many sequels was nothing short of brilliant! If I was a musician, I would be more than willing to pay for sampling some of the jams on those games. BTW...does anyone remember the Carnival nights zone? That was just insane!) Don't shoot me, but I could hear Gwen Stefani doing some vocals to that one.

Super Mario ( Needs no explanation. Each and every one of the Mario games contained music that we will never forget.)

Mortal Kombat ( I just love the intensity in most of the theme music for the MK games.)

Street Fighter 2 ( I love how there was a different theme song to represent each fighter, and their place of origin. Cammy's stage was always my favorite. Others included Dhalsim's, Blanka's, and Zangief's. T.Hawk's was cool too.

)

There are others...but those are the games that really take me back...

Just listening to some of the music on these makes me think how did these guys come up with this stuff?

I mean...some of the music was so SICK! and crazy...in the best way!

I'm sure you guys can probably think of more recent examples...as I left all of my game playing in the 90s.

What's some of you guys' favorites? Share your thoughts on these...or whichever games contain some of your favorite tunes.

btw...the website I mentioned is...http://gh.ffshrine.org/.

Hope there's no problem with me posting that here.

If there are any of you out there who frequent this board who know or are acquainted with any of the people responsible for producing vg music...give them a pat on the back and remind them that their work is appreciated.

Love your favs mate.

MK, SF, Sonic, all def in my top 5.

Some good links to music in this thread.

My all time fav is the music for Lei-Lei's stage in Vampire Saviour. That music is awesome. I would get rather unhappy if I did not get to fight her when I played.

Now how to do a link ......

I now have to add there is other great music in Vampire Saviour. I've just listened to others and I'm reminded of how good the others are too. I so want to play it now. lol

A friend of mine sent this to me and I think it's pretty cool. Sounds like Sonic Colors has an epic final battle.

I guess he didn't like part 1 too much so I had to search for it and I think it's cool.

Don't know why I forgot about this stupendously funny song! I sing it to my friends at random whenever I'm on xbox live lol

Definitally putting this in

If I had to pick one, this would be my fav as of now.

Blizzard has some amazing music for their games. One of my very favorite is one of their Night Elf theme music tracks from Warcraft III

^So Epic.

**FanofFiction** · December 24th, 2012, 06:04 PM

You have to love classic videogame tunes. The original three Mario games on NES had very memorable tunes. Sonic 2 was pretty epic as well!

Newer games, Halo series has some good stuff. All the Final Fantasy games have sweet soundtracks.

**Ninja108** · December 26th, 2012, 12:35 AM

The Zelda and Mario series have some of the best music out there

**Misaki** · December 26th, 2012, 12:58 AM

Classic meets modern love this song.

**Ninja108** · December 26th, 2012, 05:55 PM

Water Land theme from Super Mario Bros 3 and the Fairy theme from the Zelda Series. Pretty much the same.

**CopyX19** · December 29th, 2012, 09:54 PM

Tell me this isnt a appropriate theme for fighting your brother that killed your father the king and blamed you so he could be king instead of you.

Duck Tales for NES, the music from the moon level...

This video game music is so popular even 20 years later that dozens of people on youtube have created their own versions of the moon theme. This one is my personal favorite from a guy who made a symphony version...
