8-Bit Mega Man 8 Music!!




Can't wait for the release of 8-bit Mega Man 8 to hear what the music will sound like? Neither can I. The developers of this homebrew must have thought we'd all felt the same because they've given us a nice, juicy bone to sink our teeth into. Behold, the entire 8-bit Mega Man 8 soundtrack!


Let me tell you right here and now that a lot of care went into converting the 32-bit songs into 8-bit form. The title of this game may be called Rockman 8, but the developers haven't forgotten about the music in the Western release. I was thrilled to discover that the American version's intro to MM8 has been 8-bitized! Not only that, so has the ending them! Cut Man and Wood Man's remixed themes? (BTW, Wood Man's remixed 8-bit theme kills the 32-bit version.) Present and accounted for along with Tengu Man's superior Saturn-only track. Hearing these tunes just makes me want to play the game even more now.
