Can we admit that no game system had better theme music than Nintendo?

How y'all forgetting Final fight?


I'm at work so I can't post...but Final fight is right up there with Streets of Rage and Street Fighter.

As much as I loved the Final Fight games....the music never really jumped out at me as anything special compared to Streets and Streets Fighter.


shyt sounded like it was made by the dude who dropped that 30 second keyboard freestyle that is the entire soundtrack for the 'so bad it's good, but only for a few minutes' Pit Fighter.

The music ain't never really moved me despite the game being piff in and of itself.


EDIT "9:27"
Can't believe I forgot about this shyt....Final Fight had some bangers, I need to replay this shyt.

If this track didn't get you ready to kick some ass back in the day you didn't have a pulse. The man responsible for this fire said he spent years in hip hop and dance clubs to get the sounds of NY just right. Fkn nailed that shyt for early 90's club music

SEGA hands down has the best music between the Genesis & Dreamcast.

I'll mention some that haven't been posted:

Nah, homie. That honor belongs to the Sega Genesis.

The music in the Sonic games alone makes the Genesis GOAT with music!

Feel like a kid again

Aero the Acrobat had mad gems too.

Donkey Kong Country > Your top 5

 

[The_Truth]

You know.....this kinda sounds like softcore porn music now that I think of it.

[Pacni99a12]
