Favorite Tunes is back again on Saturday? What is this madness?! About a year ago in Favorite Tunes, I posted gaming's very first vocal track. With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bring Terrry to the roster, that means even more music and among the many, many tracks Mr. Bogard brought with him, a retro style arrangement of gaming's first vocal jam was included.
Psycho Soldier Theme (Psycho Soldier) - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (NS)
Gaming's very first vocal track can be traced back to the 1987 arcade game, Psycho Soldier, which was featured back in Favorite Tunes #246. The arrangement in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate comes in English and Japaneses flavor and both sound so dang good and have their differences that isn't just confined to the language. I've used the Japanese version so I can save the overseas version for a later Favorite Tunes.
Boss: Hibari - River City Girls (PS4, XBO, NS, PC)
The third boss you'll face in River City Girls, Hibari has some SHMUP elements in her battle and as a huge fan of that genre, that makes her a fun boss to fight. She also has one banger of a chiptune boss theme.
Gym Leader Battle - Pokemon Sword/Shield (NS)
Another year, another controversial Pokemon release. I'm not a big Pokemon fan but even I have to admit that all the drama surrounding this game is tiresome. Ever freaking day I get a recommended video about it on YouTube. At least everyone will more than likely agree that this battle theme is rave-tastic.
GET HIGH [B-Mix] (TRAIN YARD Night Stage) - Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior (NG)
Having heard more music from the Art of Fighting games after listening to the tracks in Ultimate, I would have loved to see more tracks from those game used for Terry's stage. I think Art of Fighting 3 has my favorite music from the three games. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've replayed this jam.
Town - DRAGON QUEST III: The Seeds of Salvation (NES)
I have heard so many good things about DRAGON QUEST III. Having poured 25 plus hours into the game, I'm thinking that all the positive stuff I've heard is true. Party customization rocks and the soundtrack just might be the best of Erdrick trilogy. The music is updated for the Switch release but even in 8-bit, Koichi Sugiyama's tracks sound phenomenal.
Vambee Church Battle - Brave Fencer Musashi (PS)
The PlayStation era for Square was pretty interesting. Sure, there's FINAL FANTASY VII, VIII and IX, but we also saw a plethroa of other RPGs on the system like Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve and Brave Fencer Musashi, an action RPG often referred to as a Zelda-like game. With Square Enix doing remakes and remasters, what are the odds of us seeing a remaster of this on modern consoles?
