No one will tell you that the music in Mega Man X sucks and if they do, they are not a member of the human race and are thereby expendable. The idea of Mega Man 8 transformed into an 8-bit game may excite many. However, the idea of Mega Man X stripped down to an 8-bit game may frighten a lot of you. Some of you may remember a short lived Game Boy series called Mega Man Xtreme. I didn't think it was a bad series, but the X games really did feel more at home running on more powerful hardware. As far as I know, no one is making the X games into 8-bit titles. The music, on the other hand, has already gone 8-bit. The first X game, Mega Man X has had it's entire soundtrack go 8-bit.Having already heard most of the songs on YouTube videos, I can safely say that the music sounds a million times better than any of the music that was in the Xtreme series. Even in 8-bit, the songs in Mega Man X maintain the edgy feel that their 16-bit counterparts have.
Mega Man X 8-bit soundtrack
Work is being done to convert X2's soundtrack to 8-bit and a few themes from later X games have already been done. 8-bit music is dat win.
I'll check these out too in the near future.
