Favorite Tunes #251: The Last Hurrah of 2018

2018 is just a few short days of being outta here. I feel like I say this about every year but this one went by really fast. It's been a pretty wild ride with some awesome games and I'm looking forward to even more in 2019.

Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong Jr. Medley - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (NS)

As a child, I played a lot of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. on my NES, so music the jingles of both of those titles are firmly implanted into my brain. I was not expecting a killer medley of both game's soundtracks in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. As cool as it is to be able to select the song you want on a stage before the match begins, sometimes you ought to let the game decided what is played via your song settings. That's how I came across this baby.

Race 4: Retro Race - Horizon Chase Turbo (PC, PS4, NS)
Originally released in 2015 for iOS and Android as Horizon Chase, the game has since come to PC PS4 and more recently, Xbox One and the Switch with an added "Turbo" to the title. If you've got to scratch that arcade racer itch, this game comes highly recommended from yours truly. The game has a very cool visual style and a far out soundtrack by Barry Leitch, known for his work on racing titles such as Top Gear.

Sewers - Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (PS4, NS, XBO)
Between the Spider-Mans and Smash Ultimates, make sure you don't let Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom slip under your radar. This retro inspired game has plenty of modern trimmings like frequent save points, lush HD graphics and an outstanding musical score. As I oinked through the sewers, I couldn't get over how mesmerizing this jam was. And then I found out the composer of this piece was none other than Michiru Yamane. You PC games will get this game in early 2019.

DOH-T - WipEout (PS, PC, SAT)
By imLeeRobson
One of the best things about this futuristic racing series is the soundtrack. Hitting the ground running are some hard beats by Tim Wright, also known as CoLD SToRAGE. It can be a bit difficult keeping the first few WipeOut game's soundtracks straight as some versions had completely different scores. When it comes to the first game, however, Mr. Wright's music instantly springs to the front of my mind.

Training Menu - Wii Fit U (Wii U)
This super calming song happens to have a stellar remix you can listen to while you send poor saps to the blast zone in Smash Ultimate. Kinda of a shame that the original wasn't included.

Forest Folly - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U, NS)
I'm not asking for a new Smash game anytime soon but if we get more DK reps, I'm all for Lord Fredrick. That final boss fight demonstrated a plethora of moves for Sakurai to play around with. Back to the game he came from, if you missed Tropical Freeze on the Wii U it is one of the many ports you can now buy on the Switch.

First: Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books, Sure. I understand. You are young; you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things.
