Makes me wonder why people can't be original and remix another game.

The because MM2 is the official game of Team Awesome, that's what. Heck, Wily Stage 1-2 alone is good enough for me. Everytime I find a new remix of it, it seems to just get better.

Eh, it's nice to see people pay tribute to a game that they grew up on, but unless I find something more stylized, remixes just get old. Perhaps it is because I am a musician, but I'd prefer to find something a less derivative. Sure, I love Megaman 2 and its music, but it's been done to death and back. I'd rather hear more stuff like The Protomen, or even stuff like the rap album Random put out. It's just so much more fun to get something original running between my ears.

I'd rather see a tribute to a DIFFERENT Megaman game. Seriously, I think we can all agree on some basic level that MM2 music has been done over, and over and over and then to DEATH, and then to undeath, lichdom, banishment, devilspawn, dark god-hood, to life, and the to death AGAIN.

Couldn't they do MM3 or MM5 instead? They have the two best soundtracks IMHO, and MM2 is overrated, since there's so many dull or mediocre tracks that are overshadowed by the better ones. Any of the last four NES Mega Man games would be a nice change of pace.

Hey guys, this is Nacho, owner of GamerSoundtracks.com. First I'd like to say thanks to Wire Sponge, I appreciate spreading the word of this contest.

I've gotten to read your guys comments and honestly, I had no idea the general consensus was that Mega Man 2 music had been done to death. I always enjoy listening to any Mega Man 2 remixes I come across, so I guess my eyes were blind to this fact.

Since the wheels are already in motion & I've already gotten a few responses, I don't want to pull the contest back. However, would you guys like to see remixes from the entire NES Mega Man soundtracks series? If not, what Mega Man soundtrack remix would you like to see the most? Any other games interested in hearing?

I already know what soundtrack I want to tackle after this contest, but please feel free to give me any feedback. I'm just looking to spread the good love of video game tunes!

Hi there! To be honest doing a remixed soundtrack to ANY Classic RockMan game is fine by me.

I'd love to see 1, 3, and 5 personally. I think I've heard a ton of RockMan 2 remixes over time, this is true. But I still love it.

Yeah, I've heard enough MM2 remixes to last me a life time. I'd like to see MM3, or some of the others get some remixes more often. ^^ There are plenty of awesome tunes in the Megaman universe.

I think MM2 and MM3 are the most remixed. But I love remixes, so I won't complain. I'd like to see MM4 remixes, that'd be good for a change.

Wow, I'm surprised that our own little forum would attract such attention. As a thumbs up, Mega Man 2 for fans of the series is considered one of the best, at least for the Classic series, so that is one of the reasons why people like making remixes of the tracks.

Anyway, if I had to suggest another Mega Man game to do, I've got two in general--Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 6. They have some of THE best tunes for the NES Classic games. But, I would much prefer hearing all of the games remixed, although I do admit that would take a bit longer to finish. Although, when you say "any other games interested in hearing" I am wondering if you are talking about non-Classic games as well. If so, then perhaps I could throw out Mega Man X2 as well? I've been going around on some sites for a while, and X2 seems to be the most overshadowed X game when it comes to remixes. I mean, X1 gets plenty of attention and X3 got it's entire soundtrack officially remade, and poor old X2 got jack.

may be because europe never got int oficialy, and that it was only released on the SNES and PC and the X colection(that also never apeared here).

we need a remake or something fast, bug boss...

Yo Nacho, don't get me wrong. Remixes are fine and all. It's fun to make them and they can make for a good listen. This here's a discussion thread and I was just saying what was on my mind, but that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna check things out. I don't have a doubt in my mind you guys can pump out a good album, so don't go feeling discouraged.

MM3: Top Man
In regards to MM games that we'd like to see remixed, I was always surprised at the lack of MM4 remixes. It was definitely one of the better scores, I think, but I've never heard much adaptation of it. Besides that, MM3 is always good, and I agree that MMX2 deserves it's time in the limelight.

Interesting project, though! I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for the results.

I agree. As much as I love MM2, I would definitely like to see some more diversity in the category of Megaman remixes. As as already suggested, MM4, 5, and 6 would be very nice to hear. Oh, and if you really want to get into the obscure, I would absolutely love to see somebody remix Buster Rod G.'s, Hyper Storm H.'s, and Mega Water S.'s themes from The Wily Wars. That would be awesome.

No worries, Vulcan, I didn't feel discouraged at all. I just had no idea that the general consensus was that MM2 had been overdone. I'm glad you guys have spoke your mind, it helps me decide what directions to press forward with on the site. Hopefully the soundtrack will pump out some good original covers/remixes for every one to enjoy!

i would like to see 4, 5 and/or 6 remixed. I love MM2, and sadly Ihave heard only a few remixes of it and liked, but I would come into this figuring that MM2 and 3 are the most popular choices for anything from the Classics line s they are the most popular ones. We had a MM1 remix from Powered Up so those ones are essentially left in the cold.
