the beat of the drum goes round and around
TPH has been updated for the first time in over a year!Check out the new
Rockman,
Rockman 2,
Rockman 3 and
Rockman 5 Complete Works soundtracks! Rockman Complete Works was a Japanese re-release of the original six NES Mega Man games for the PlayStation (on individual discs) in 1999 -
with extras! The first three games had a handful of
remixed tracks included with them (usually coming from the
Rockman: The Power Battle and
Rockman 2: The Power Fighter arcade games), while the latter three games had
completely remixed soundtracks! Unfortunately, I was only able to procure the above four
Rockman Complete Works discs while I was in Japan, but I promise I will work to obtain
4 and
6 as soon as I can!
Also new in this update are
the soundtracks from the first six NES Mega Man games - I was able to buy for myself the infamous Japanese release of the first six games' music recorded from
authentic hardware - and the
quality of these tracks should be noticeably better as a result. Yes, I offered the exact same tracks from the same Japanese release before today, but the quality was unsatisfactory, as those versions had been encoded by someone other than myself. At TPH, I value teamwork -
just not when someone besides myself is on the team. Thus, I recommend you download (or download again, if you have already)
the soundtracks from the first six NES Mega Man games immediately!
Finally, I added two great soundtracks to the
Other Games page:
Metroid Prime and
Metroid Fusion! These games, released in
2002, represent the
"Double Sequel" to
Super Metroid (already featured here on TPH). Prime's soundtrack was composed by
Kenji Yamamoto while Fusion's soundtrack was composed by
Minako Hamano - the same two composers who produced
Super Metroid's music! (That must be why they're so
good!)
Even more is coming very soon - so
keep checking back!
