I hope you like some SNES saxophone with your boss music because that's one of the many types of tracks we've got for this week's FT. Also, is one of my new favorite Fire Emblem jams. If you've played Three Houses, you might be able to guess which song it is before scrolling down.
Return of the Creature - Super R-Type (SNES)
This game was my introduction to Irem's R-Type series. Thanks to re-releases, I've had the chance to play the original R-Type, R-Type II and R-Type Final on the PS2. Super R-Type, despite having no check points at all, making it arguably a harder game, holds a special place in my heart. Maybe it will pop up on the SNES games on Nintendo Switch Online. This boss jam is an arrangement of the boss themes from R-Type and R-Type II.
Boss - Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (GB)
Despite being outsourced to a different company, the first Mega Man title on Nintendo's 4-bit handheld turned out to be a solid entry. At six levels, it is on the short side but it still looks and feels like Mega Man. Even the soundtrack is bangin' with a some dope arrangements of music from the first Mega Man. This boss theme, however, is from Mega Man 2. This may be blasphemous to say, but I think I like this version more than the NES version.
Title - Super Bomberman 2 (SNES)
You'd think Konami would put the Hudson IPs they have to more use and re-release a lot of those older games. We saw the likes of Bomberman '93 and '94 re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console service but not a single game in the Super Bomberman series. Really does suck because Super Bomberman 2 along with the original are some of my favorite multiplayer SNES games.
Character Introductions - FINAL FANTASY Tactics (PS)
I have played very little of FFT but I love, love, LOVE this game's soundtrack. It is one of those scores I can listen to over and over again and still be blown away at how amazing it sounds. This game so needs a Switch port.
Snow Theme - Super Mario Maker 2 (NS)
Perhaps it could be my love for the original game, but the SMB style is one of my favorites for designing courses in Super Mario Maker 2. Great as it is to hear the original Ground and Underground themes, I like a lot of the new music that was added for themes that were originally not present in SMB. This theme will make you jolly no matter how cold it gets outside.
Fodlan Winds - Fire Emblem: Tree Houses (NS)
I love a lot of Fire Emblem music but this track has quickly climbed its way to the top of my list of best FE themes. Thankfully, it is included with Byleth's Challenger Pack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If that weren't enough, it is the music for the Fire Emblem Theme in Tetris 99.
