Fan re-arrangements of every numbered Mega Man game
I’ve professed my love for the Sega Genesis’ music capabilities numerous times, but people still look at me like I’m taking crazy pills. I am dead serious! I love the grungy, metallic sound of FM synth! It was the dressing that gave Sega the harder edge in comparison to Nintendo way back in the day. So obviously I enjoy good FM arrangements of non-Sega games.
London-basedMixerProductionshas spent the last few months reworking the soundtracks for all the numberedMega Mangames in the Sega synth style. He’s currently working onMM8, and I’m guessing he’ll eventually tackleMega Man & Bass,9, and10as well. And yeah, I know that Genesis music forMM1-3already exists in the form ofThe Wily Wars, but likeRushJet1’sMM3tribute, I am fascinated by a fan’s take on preexisting material.
These were produced back-to-back beginning in November, so some tracks may not be as strong as others. That’s not say there aren’t standouts, like theMega Man 7opening stage theme above. In other tracks, Mixer has added classic Sega sound bites, like theNinja Turtle‘s “Cowabunga” at the start ofDive Man’s theme! All in all, I’m mightily impressed!
