Burning Heat! Composed by Mr. T feat. Motoaki Furukawa
I was originally stumped as to which song I was going to submit for today's entry, but given the rising temperatures (summer's almost here!) I thought I'd go with a particuarly hot selection, Burning Heat!
While most players are familliar with this song's awesome synths and rocking guitar riffs from its appearance in DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix (or the extended edit in beatmania IIDX 7th Style) this song originally appeared in the previously Japanese-only Gradius II: Gofer's Ambition, which appeared in the Arcade, (Available on the Gradius Collection for PSP, thanks gs68!) as well as on the Famicom (NES), MSX, and even the PC Engine (TG16) CD-ROM! (And you can find that last one on Nintendo's Virtual Console service on the Wii!)
Coming in late it's time for Twitter your gaming week! Once again if you want to let us know what you played last week watch for our weekly Twitter post and send a reply to it!
DanShadow: just dragon quest five. I've had no time 4 anything. Want to get back into valkyria chronicles badly.
Today's track is Mercator Harbor Town from Landstalker
Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.
Sorry all for the late update but my darling wife had her birthday yesterday so I'm running a little behind!
For me Landstalker, created by Climax, is one of the greatest action RPGs of all time! If you grew up with the Mega Drive (Genesis) like I did this was your Legend of Zelda. Awesome storyline, great music, memorable characters and inventive puzzles make this game is gem. Landstalker had a remake announced for the PSP a while ago but production seems to have ceased. On the up side however you can grab the complete Genesis game from the Virtual Console on the Wii! I HIGHLY recomend giving it a try.
Today's track is Marx's theme from Kirby Super Star
Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.
This is truly one of the greatest boss fights theme of all time. While Kirby Super Star wasn't known because of its difficulty, it sure was great because of its massive gameplay and of course its soundtrack. It's amazing and offers a great variety of tracks, like Marx's theme, which is the boss for Milkyway Wishes (oops spoilers =P). It's just amazing, such a marvelous song, it really makes you feel that your doom is near. I think I was obssesed with this song back in the SNES era, that I just put in the game to listen to the song.
This song was also featured on Super Smash Bros. Brawl! And while the Brawl arrangement is good I still prefer the original version over it.
If you want to post your opinion about today's track or you've got a song suggestion you would like to see featured from a game let us know in the comments and we'll see what we can do about featuring it in an up coming article!
