It's #VGMWednesday, so here's my favorite Donkey Kong Country song out of any I've heard (and one of my top favorite pieces of music in any video game, EVER) - a fully restored version of 'Mining Melancholy'. Check out those choral voices!
In Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Cyber Akuma shares a theme with his less ridiculous counterpart, but Akuma's theme from the Alpha series is the one that got iterated on in other games. So, this song isn't explicitly about giving the man with the heaven kanji on his back a rocket fist and wings, but are you ready for a new challenger?

It's #VGMWednesday and todays theme is #SuperSixteenBit One of my favorite and most played Sega Megadrive (Genesis) games was Streets of Rage 2. The soundtrack is still a banger!
It still blows my mind that composer Yuzo Koshiro was only 22 back then 🤯 He started composing video game soundtracks when still in high school. Check out a photo of his setup in 1989 in this recent feature:
