If they’re gonna use ONE song from X, it better be the Highway Theme from X1. Anything else is uncivilized
Man, I forgot about these themes… God, MM is just bursting with classic tracks… WTF happened to soundtracks like this?
Flash in the Dark (Wily Castle 1 Theme) - Mega Man 9
Wily Capsule (Final Battle) - Mega Man 10
and of course… Storm Eagle - Mega Man X
INB4 CV: LOS hate. SSBB has by far the best music of any game ever made, the OST orchestral remixes are GDLK enough, but to have so many was a real treat, I wouldn’t be mad if HAL does a copy pasta lol.
Also the last pic of the day was 3 days ago…so Sakurai never posts on weekends?
Your pic of the day is… A puppie? Okay.

BTW, that red hat on the Telly looks familiar…
Good old Sakurai. Giving the fans exactly what they want.

I don’t hate orchestral music… I hate orchestral music that sounds like every movie ever made and replaces an already great composition style. What was wrong with Michiru Yamane’s compositions that needed to be replaced with generic, Hans Zimmer wannabe, try-hard “epic” melodies?
Sorry, my old man gamer senses started tingling again… at any rate, Smash has never had any problem with using classic themes in new and inventive ways and I for one cannot wait to hear what they do with some of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history.
Whatever Mega Man songs they use, its going to be guaranteed musical awesomeness…
Orchestral music in games has never been an issue. It’s orchestral music that feels like it’s been placed there just for ambiance or filler like most movies do. Orchestral music can be both memorable and fit properly in it’s context. God of War series and Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are perfect examples. From what I’ve played of Castlevania: LoS, I can tell the music is pretty well done and fits the mood well…but if someone was to play a track from any section of the game that I had played thus far I wouldn’t know where it’s from and it wouldn’t pull me back into the game in my head. It’s something I’d been thinking about bringing up in the VGM thread and providing examples of orchestral music that’s actually memorable and not just…there.
Yeah I pretty much expect to hear like 4-5 classic themes and the highway theme.
I think orchestral music, like any music, is only as good as the thought put into it.
Compare Tales of Symphonia, which had a varied soundtrack with individual character themes and variations on those themes, to Tales of the Abyss, which despite having musical themes in the story has a super mediocre, generic synth-y soundtrack; a generic sad theme for everyone, a generic hopeful theme, etc.
For orchestral music, I’m a big fan of the Gears of War soundtracks, especially Gears 2 and onward, as it’s the stuff of pulse pounding excitement and each game keeps to its musical themes. Compare to Lords of Shadow’s music which, while competent, was dull outside the boss encounters.
Haven’t heard a good announcement regarding this game in months. The roster is horrendously unattractive thus far.
Megaman is in this game your argument is invalid
The scary part is it took me a second to realize “oh yeah, TVs used to look like that!”
So what’s the current theory here? Are we assuming that red hat is a clever hint at Ness? Mario at a weird angle? A bizarre nod to a certain 1994-to-2004 Linux distribution?
The base 12 characters from the N64 game alone make it better to me then a lot of games roster wise. Sure they majorly fucked up the look for some of them but it’s still them. Add Mega Man and Sonic and that’s pretty much all it needed to put it over the edge.
Well, if we’re being nitpicky, only 8 of the base 12 have been confirmed so far, and that isn’t even including one of the original 8. Poor Yoshi.
Nintendo hasn’t left any of the original ‘Perfect Attendance’ crowd out, and I highly doubt they’re going to start.
Second, just because Lucario’s been confirmed doesn’t mean Mewtwo’s not coming back. If you remember, they had some code in for Mewtwo (as well as Roy) in Brawl, meaning they had plans at one point to have him return. And judging by his spot in the fighter list, Lucario was already there. If I had to guess, they scrapped him because there wasn’t enough time, even after the delays.
Need proof?

(Use ‘View in New Tab’ for a full size image; it’s enormous)
Besides, Brawl’s been busted wide open now, so if you want Mewtwo in, put him in.
One character doesn’t make a roster.
True, but you cannot deny Mega Man hype. He could have been the only newcomer this time around and I would have been fine with it, as long as they kept most of the returning cast.
I’m glad that’s not the case, but that’s how excited I am for him.
I gotta say it’s a cool thing for megaman to show up there, but that’s not 100 percent of the game.
It’s like when Sonic Dropped and I was 100 percent convinced that Brawl was going to be godlike.
I was Words beyond hype. and then I played the game over time and then it wore very poorly.
Now that I’ve been got by a roster before, I’m just not gonna let a character’s inclusion skew my thought process.
in terms of analogy.
Ryu gets in smash brothers
" HLY FUCKING SHIT I LOVE U SMASH!"
and then a week later OmegaTomHanks joins brawl, Dark Samus replaces regular Samus, and then a Miiverse avatar is revealed into the fray
My reaction wouldn’t really be “Ryu makes the game for me, Hype!”, what my reaction would then be is.
" Why is it that the best thing to happen so far was Ryu."
Megaman is there for shock value. like kratos in MK, or Vader in SC4. They bring your eyes to the game, but what about the rest of the roster? I mean when you buy the game it won’t be a full select screen of megaman and the OGs.
I personally think they revealed megaman to early but thats just me, should have been the last reveal
Pac Man is soft confirmed for this game.
