This time I’ve chosen a song that most people don’t really link to fighting. There is some cheating involved since the song is from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Most of the songs in this game are remixed versions from other Nintendo games. I almost like everything about this remix, but the “singing” is horrible.

As most of my friends already know I’ve listened to metal music for quite a while. I also like fighting games, even though I’m horrible at them. So which series am I talking about if I’m mentioning those two things?

A fighting game series that stands out a bit because the heavy use of melee weapons is the Soul series. Most of you probably played games like Soul Calibur, and while it is possible for button mashing newbies to beat experienced players, they’re still very entertaining.

Another late post, and this time it’s my fault for being too busy with school. I’m going to be a bit boring and choose a song that most of you’ve probably already heard of, but from a game that not that many have played. I’ve only played the arcade version of this game, but from what I’ve heard you should really stay away from the PlayStation port.

Song number 13 and it isn’t even on a Friday. As it’s a new week it’s also time for a new theme. This time it is ‘Fight!’. I won’t begin with a song from Street Fighter II even though it is tempting.
A while ago when I played the rhythm-game Osu!, which is a game inspired by ‘Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!’, I found a japanese artist called Hyadain who writes lyrics to video game songs. One of the songs I really liked was his Yie Ar Kung~Fu rap. And the song is awesome even without the lyrics so here it is.

It’s one day late, but here the last song for this week. Ever heard of a video game series called Castlevania? I kind of mentioned it in the first post this week but here it is again. So what song did I choose then? Vampire Killer? Bloody Tears? Not really, but it’s from the same game as Bloody Tears and it’s Dwelling of Doom from Simon’s Quest. The game isn’t one of the best even though they tried some interesting ideas, the mansions are one of the worst parts of the game, but the music is just awesome. Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been in Germany for Gamescom2011 and arrived in Sweden late last night. Here’s my second song this week. A song which feels like it should’ve been played by an orchestra but it’s still nice on the SNES. I was thinking about the castle theme from Super Mario Bros at first, but then i remembered the song that still creeps me out a bit. I really love the part with the arpeggios and it might be the best song in the game. Castle Theme from Super Mario World!

Today I’ll post another song from the Heroes of Might and Magic series. This time it’s from Heroes of Might and Magic 4, one of the most underrated games in the series. Of course the game was not without problems. To name a few: the AI was incompetent, game play was unbalanced and the heroes were overpowered.

Todays song is from the Square Enix and Disney crossover action-rpg Kingdom Hearts. It’s the music from Hollow Bastion, the world where you had to fight endless waves of creatures called Heartless. I really hated that place but the music was good. It’s one of the few RPGs i really enjoyed playing on the ps2 and didn’t get bored of halfway through.

The 8th song is from one of my favorite 8-bit games, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – Great Palace. I can still remember the first time i entered the last palace and was awed by the music and the sound from the barrier disappearing. In general the music in this game is really great and is often forgotten when talking about Zelda-games. I really wish that they’d either remake or create a sequel to this game in the same style.
