We probably would have been past 250 by now but a few of my Favorite Tunes posts got delayed. Regardless, we're here now. Favorite Tunes grew into the feature it did out of my love for video game music and from observing fellow blogger Super Philip Central. This week also serves as a Christmas edition so there will be some Christmas/wintry music sprinkled in here. Happy holidays and gaming!
Once again, special thanks to
Cat with Monocle for the (Mega Man 11 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) wallpapers.
Tundra Man Stage - Mega Man 11 (PS4, NS, XBO, PC)
Fun, challenging and introducing some new mechanics to the series, Mega Man 11 makes strides to push the series forward without relying on the old visual style that the previous two entries did. I've played through this game three times so it has certainly earned a spot on my top games of 2018 list. As winter/ice/snow themed music goes, Tundra Man's stage is pretty... cool. Sorry, not sorry. If you check the bio on Tundra Man, you'll find the company that manufactured him to be familiar.
F-ZERO Medley - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (NS)
As per usual, one of the best things about the latest Super Smash Bros. is the music. It uses music from preexisting games, brings back remixes from past entries and has tons of brand new remixes. Ultimate is the first game since Brawl to give us some F-ZERO music other than a new Mute City arrangement. This F-ZERO Medley mixes Death Wind, Fire Field and Port Town. The man providing the lead vocals is the legendary Takenobu Mitsoyoshi, famous for providing vocals for the music in SEGA's Daytona series among other things.
Bleed Harder (Bleed 2 Theme) - Bleed 2 (PC, NS, PS4, XBO)
Something was missing in my video game library on the current gen systems I own: high octane, fast paced action. Bleed 2 delvers that in spades. You run, shoot, deflect bullets and defeat the enemy in style to a rocking soundtrack. It isn't a very long game. I think I finished it in under and hour, which gives it an arcade feel, but there's replayablity in earning higher rankings and unlockable characters.
Title - Phantasy Star (SMS)
The series is widely known for the online games these days, but back in the late early in early 1990s, Phantasy Star was an offline JRPG. If you're curious to check out the very first game, you should give SEGA AGES Phantasy Star a look on the Switch. As with most SEGA AGES titles, M2 has added new features like an auto fill in map feature, making navigating those 3D dungeons a lot easier.
Panacea - Hyper Light Drifter (PC, XBO, PS4, NS)
Before Ultimate released and begun consuming my time, I purchased Hyper Light Drifter off the eShop. It doesn't run at the promised 60fps, but that isn't a major issue for me. The game has a positively stunning visual pixel art style, so much better than what most other indie games that use. It's also quite hard. Like, really, really hard. Of the four paths I could take, I went to the right and while I've made some progress, I've died more times than I can count. I plan to get back into this one eventually.
Diamond Dust Act 1 - Sonic 3D Blast (SAT)
As has become Christmas tradition, here's Diamond Dust Act 1 from the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast. Sonic 3D Blast is one of those games I often point at to demonstrate that the classic era of Sonic games is not all the sunshine and roses that so many fans and critics like to believe it was. Even so, both the Genesis and Saturn versions have really good soundtracks, which is a given for just about every Sonic game.

Hi Everyone,This was how me and my Boyfriend became VAMPIRES. I got a guy from the internet called Lord who was a VAMPIRE so i told him that me and my boyfriend would love to become a VAMPIRES so he asked me of my Name ,Country, Age ,State , address and in the next 3 days i got the blood sample through the DHL which me and my boyfriend took in the blood into our body and in the next 30 minutes we turned into a VAMPIRE so if you are interested in becoming a VAMPIRE. 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. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
