VG Soundtrack of the Day 036: Battle Garegga


Released in Japanese arcades in 1996, Battle Garegga is a fan favorite SHMUP that was finally given a much wider release outside of Japan as part of M2's Shot Triggers shoot 'em up line on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017. This release contained the soundtrack from the original arcade game, the SEGA Saturn port as well as a newly arranged soundtrack for the Shot Triggers release. Three soundtracks for the price of one! The original arcade audio is my favorite but there's still plenty to like about the Saturn and Shot Triggers scores. Battle Garegga's soundtrack was written by one of my favorite video game music composers, Manabu Namiki and after all of the works I've heard from him over the years, Battle Garegga is still one of the best things he's done. Battle Garegga Complete Soundtrack contains all three soundtracks so you can pick your favorite from the lot.
