The Video Game Music Thread

Japan is notoriously anti-streaming and very protective of their music in general, at least traditionally. So this is good regardless of li'l ol Canada.

In honor of WayForward getting another crack at ex-Technos properties, here's a few awesome Double Dragon Neon cuts!

Mission 1 filtered thru Vince DiCola

A take on DD2 mission 1

DD1 mission 4 as surf rock!

And now a couple vocal tracks not based on arcade or NES songs:

One I've been listening to a lot lately - Nex Machina.  The game itself is a futuristic twin-stick shooter with fantastic graphics.  Made by the guys who did Resogun.  The soundtrack is AWESOME.  Daft Punk vibes for sure.

Housemarque does great work.  Almost all their games are worth checking out.

It broke my heart when Housemarque said they were changing direction because Matterfall and Next didn't sell.  That said, "a collaboration between the creator of the twin stick arena shooter and the people best known for them in the 21st century" is certainly a game pitched squarely at people over 40 like us.

Same.  I almost brought that up in my post.  I'm curious about Returnal and have reasonably high hopes, but I would much prefer they did something more similar to their previous games.

I ducking love that the main new vocal track for Yakuza 6 is this beach-party-ass shit
