had some of the best video game music ever.




Whenever I hear Stickerbrush Symphony I think about playing this game when I was a lot younger, good times good times. Always fun to break out the SNES and still play it.

I can list off about 50 games with better music but I'm just going to do one, and its older:



EDIT: And a kickass band that covered the music:

SOME

and megaman2 as a whole does not have better music
some of the songs in that game are amazing, dont get me wrong,

but I dont think anyone will seriously argue that DKC2 doesnt have among the best video game soundtracks

whether its not you favorite, or you think that some other game is better whatever
the point is that DKC2 has an amazing soundtrack, which it does

IMO game music is good when it enhances the atmosphere and experience of the game. Megaman music is generally cheesy in that regard. Zelda games always are excellent at this, and it's one of their main selling points. Eternal Darkness did it well, in its own peculiar way, and IMO the DKC music was perfectly appropriate for a couple of monkeys running nonsensically around, propelling themselves out of barrels thru mazes of thorns in the sky. Castlevania IV had a very appealing soundtrack as well.

If you like the megaman music, it's purely because of nostalgia... They're really not impressive to me.

Man, wtf you talking about, Megaman 2, pfft. stick to the best of the best, Snake Man.



here is a funny derivation of it:


check this out noobs, it even has piano version:


stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

edit: Even Snake and the rest of SSMB casts agree with me:


Would you like a remix?


how about a montage?

Dude, I was randomly sitting in school today thinking about that song for some reason. I love that level and song so much.

Anyways, to be honest I don't really know too many video game soundtracks, I just love DKC2's so much lol.

And honestly it's all of the DKC series.. the music fits the levels so well. Dave Wise is an awesome awesome musician.

It's an obvious answer to this, but FF7 has some of the most memorable music around.

There are other great themes, but I don't think anyone has ever done more with 8bit sound than David Wise on the DKC games.

I sometimes fire up the game just to play that level

except now its become so easy for me :<

some of the lost world levels are so fucking insane, but the ending is worth it

I never played megaman as a kid, I only played them about three or four years ago and was impressed that an old NES game had such good music. Music enhances games in different ways but I think the music you're referring to can be best demonstrated with...

I love you man

the DK series has some amazing music, that "Brambles in the Breeze" music is so amazing.

I want to have sex with you on a table.

I know we are talking about music, and DKC2 had some of the best, but am I the only one who thinks as a platformer it was also an amazing game? I played it through recently and had so much fun doing so... I think it's fantastic and has held up well over the years.

EDIT: And to the guy who said that Castlevania IV had some great music, hell yeah! Love the music from that game

in my opinion, DKC2 is among the best platformers ever made

certainly for SNES
