OverClocked ReMix...

Song: Megaman 3 - Protoman Theme
Why: A seemingly overlooked piece that has a lot of potential to be a great remix
Genre: Orchestra or guitar/flute

Im surprised there isnt much on this song. I find that it is a very moving piece and that a remixed version could make it even more epic. I was thinking orchestral or almost like a "Stairway to Heaven" style remix, something that can really drive the emotion of the piece

There's a number of remixes that have the little thing in them, but trying to make a whole 3 minute song from that little wistle would be really hard.

I would have to disagree. At least not harder than any other classic song out there. Most, if not all classic game music are just loops of a 1-2 minute long song, and the remixers on here have done amazing work by using their creativity to extend the tracks and still make it sound incredible.

For example, Dhsu and Black Omen's remix of Mario RPG's "Sad Song". A 30 second track that they were able to turn into a 4.5 minute masterpiece. I believe the same can be done with Megaman's Protoman theme, the remixers on here have amazing talent.

I don't think we're talking about the same song, are we? I thought you meant the little 5-second jingle that plays before protoman appears in, say, mega man 3. What track is it in the NSF?

EDIT: Ok, my bad. I didn't realize the song kept going after those 5 first seconds. It would sound pretty good as a guitar / flute combo. Or something.

Sumnoob named injury did a mix of this a while back.

There's a vocal-free version available, but I'll have to upload it when I get home from work. Maybe one day i'll update this...

edit: Here's the vocal free version.
