Smooth McGroove’s take on what I hear is the best chiptune song in NES history. I definitely see why so many people enjoy this song, it’s just so full of energy and action and it’s so upbeat. A lot of old school games used their music to make you really excited to be where you …

Now this is cool. Despite it’s totally (mostly) awesome soundtrack, I’m a bit surprised I don’t come across more Sonic Adventure 2 covers. This medley includes the songs from City Escape, Dry Lagoon, Prison Lane, Cosmic Wall and then finishes with the theme to the game Live and Learn. If you were to tell me …

You know what we don’t see enough of? Accordion music. You know what else we don’t see enough of? Accordion music performed on an Ipad? Let’s start solving this travesty with this video. I love my Ipad because of apps that do a great job of simulating instruments. Even though I’m not a very good …

Arranged to be background music for a Zelda multi-medium art show of the same name, Triforce Tribute. Some pretty awesome tracks using some of the series’ more iconic tracks such as Lost Woods and The Dark World, both of which I’ll add below. If you like what you hear, check it out here. While the …

I swear this song is the catchiest song in all of Sonic 2. While I was rooting for different level to be the Sonic 2 representation in Sonic Generations, after hearing the original song and the modern remix, I’m glad it was in there. Smooth McGroove’s performance manages to capture all the spirit of the …

8Amatesrasu8 (Chris) is at it again with YouTube musician Krissalad (Kris)to perform a very nice sounding Zelda Medley. It’s definitely great music to sit back and relax to.

Martin Leung is at it again with this also performance of the Castle from Super Mario World. You ever have one of those tunes that isn’t all that scary or frightening but terrifies you because you heard it when you were a kid. This song is that for me. Marint’s performance eerily replicates the sounds …

I think the Superpianobrothers are just showing off. Two guys, three pianos? I want to see more of that at concerts. Or maybe they are the type of guys who play like 5 or more games at once, so adding a piano of which they both share was a piece of cake. I’m sure if …

A pretty big musical project just released last week. Several forces including Mohammed Taher’s Koopa Soundworks and GameChops helmed by DJCUTMAN have joined together to produce World 1-2, a collection music spanning all of gaming. From classics like Tetris, to favorites like Metroid Prime, and even to obscure and indie titles. It’s a big ball …

Well this is pretty neat. I’m sure I’ve said it before but I love Wind Waker, and before Skyward Sword it was my favorite Zelda game. This fan-remix album seems like it has a lot of genres going for it. What I’m excited about though is that it will have a dramatic retelling of the …

Once again, Source Filmmaker and the people who know how to use it amaze me. Especially with this, which might even be better than the original animation for the song.

Another fantastic arrangement from Zorsy. The music for Dire Dire Docks from Super Mario 64 makes for such a perfect jazz song doesn’t it? I think I’ve said this before, but someday I’m going to open up a video game based lounge, where just jazzy versions of video game music plays. If I could, I …

BackTrack I really like the music Danny Elfman does for Tim Burton movies. They have these ere of creepiness that repels you but also adventure that draws you in. Very important for a video game since it needs to keep you tense as well as keeping you playing. Listening to these tracks also, for some …

Another fantastic piece brought to us by Taylor Davis. This time a combination of Elizabeth’s theme and the fantastic “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” from Bioshock Infinite. Okay, So Circle isn’t “from” Bioshock Infinite, but it’s pretty integral to the theme of the game. I’m actually glad it isn’t, since I might one day want …

NeoGAF user asa has created a kind of NES Music box in Unity. It’s basically just messing around with an old TV hooked up with an NES, where you can switch out the cartridges to here the theme songs to a few iconic games such as The Legend of Zelda and Megaman II. There’s also …
