- Kirby series
- MGS
I heartily agree with all the Uematsu love, but don't forget all those whistle-worthy Koji Kondo melodies. Shauk is right on with the ocremix link... some excellent work there.
check out ocremix's album list. My favorite is the Kong in Concert.
For those who haven't played it yet... Mario Galaxy's soundtrack is outstanding. I don't think it stands alone as well as a lot of the RPG-sourced music, but the way it accompanies the pace/mood of the gameplay (even as it shifts from moment to moment) is nothing short of genius. |
I really like the viewpoints issued by the above two posts, and they also detail some of my favorite soundtracks, especially those from
Donkey Kong Country (which if you read the wiki, you'll find out that the VGM soundtrack was a "hit" in the US) and the BGM from all of the Kirby titles.
Some off the top of my head were the soundtracks from Gran Turismo 3+4, the sega title of Sonic Adventure: 2 (Knuckles' theme was great), and the futuristic F-Zero titles had some brilliant gems later in the series. Also, the BMX XXX soundtrack had a very good selection of 90s hits. It's barely even a rent-worthy game, though.
And for those of you that didn't know,
this is the must-have album for any Smash Bros., even Nintendo, aficionados.
