Video Game Music Calendar Meme
8 years ago
General
So there are things going on where there are "meme calendars" or "I've been doing x this month" type stuff. I thought that I would do one with video game music I have been listening to, and what my most played and favorite songs would be for each month. I'm kinda nerdy, and this is really nerdy, but I'm doing this just for fun. I tried making this a music submission but I guess that is audio files only. So lets get started.
Jan: Battle! Island Kahuna! (Pokemon Sun and Moon) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqOuriaLTC8
I was still playing Sun and Moon after the release date in late November, and still riding the hype. This theme was awesome. The Kahunas were great characters and their theme was epic between the hard drums and the soft remix of the trial theme. Great game, with a great OST.
Feb: Snuggford (Delicious Emily) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1lSTe2_XWU&index=5&list=PLHfC_bYSuLGAk32Gtxwn3LcFgUYWazf4g
So, I was watching one of my favorite streamers Brownman play this game, and although this game was really girly, it had some chill music in it. I like the violins in this. It sounds cheerful and fits the game well. Modern Day Napoli is also a good song.
Mar: Remix 4 (Rhythm Haven Fever) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XWxoXdeSOU
I saw this as a link to one of my favorite artists Twokinds in a gif he made. I love the way this sounds with the traditional Japanese sounds. the flute and guitar really make it. Ringside, flock step, and samurai slice are good songs too.
Apr: Final Destination (Super Smash Bros. Melee) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvfDISoyvWk
I bought a Gamecube to replay some of my old games, and my memory card to my Melee game was slightly corrupted so I had to go back and beat some of the levels again. I forgot how amazing this theme was with the bombastic trumpets and the soft synthesizer parts. Truly a great piece to symbolize a final battle in one of the best games ever created.
May: Peace Walker Theme (MGS Peace Walker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgZF4chvMpk
Though I've never played a game before, Metal Gear Solid is truly a great series. I saw Dunkey do some reviews of the game, and he used this as his ending theme. It blew me away how epic this is. It truly symbolizes an elite war hero, especially at 1:02.
Jun: Mist Flow (F-Zero GP Legends) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmFdERev48
I'm a big F-Zero fan, and along with the fast racing this game has a great OST. I was listening to this and a track I have never heard of came up called Mist Flow. So I decided to take a listen. Holy crap, this was amazing. A cool fast pace piano theme that turns into an epic guitar solo of the same thing. So far this is my favorite song of the year I have heard.
Jul: Star Wolf Theme (Star Fox Zero) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsfc-ZRP9AU
I've been a pretty big star fox fan throughout my teen years, and playing Zero it was fun but just a one time play through due to the awful controls. However, I've recently been going through play-throughs of the game. Holy Crap, I had no idea how awesome the Star Wolf theme was. The choir elevates the song by quite a bit.
