Theme #10: The Intro/Main Theme of a video game

What is needed:

• Link a stream or youtube video of your favorite original track that must correspond with the current theme. Not limited to just one.
• Explain why you like the specific track. Don't just say you like it.
• Some favorites will often be shared between more than one persons. This means someone else will likely post a track which you like. So instead post your 2nd favorite or so forth. No duplicates. The idea here is to spread as much different tracks as possible.
• Or, you can post a track you've never really listened to before and write why it should be enjoyed.
• Participation is key.

Megaman X5 Intro:

People may not think its the best X game, but I loved this intro music. This song really pumped me up back when I first was playing through this game. Kinda wanna do a rockin' cover of this at some point.

*EDIT: Just had to throw this one in here.

L.A. Noire Theme:

Its so smooth. I can seriously lounge this song, its fantastic.

Also the theme from Shinobi III:

Almost forgot this one. It was a real gem back on the Genesis. I absolutely loved this game, and this song introduced the game so well. Nonstop, fast paced ninja action.

Always makes me crying.

Mega Man X4 - 'North American Intro'

Oh heck yeah. This music perfectly introduces you back into the world of Mega Man X and Zero some time after the events of MMX3 where a new threat of the 'Repliforce' has arisen. The opening music has what I like to call a "Repliforce" feel to it and indeed, all the music of this game was written in a way that, for me, gives that faction a 'sound', if that makes sense. Great intro! Too bad the Japanese got this.

StarTropics II

Plays in the first chapter, which is just one giant cutscene.

It's just so happy and upbeat, like Mike himself. :3

Killer Instinct

This is one track that has always found its way back to my head. It's so memorable and just hits you deep. You can even break-dance to it! I really like how it starts slow then picks up into this nice fighting rhythm where your body wants to get active. Then it goes quiet again for the bridge, and then BAM right back into the action.

I'm still hoping for a new game in this generation, but we'll have to see.

The Title Theme of Megaman II (aka Rockman World II) for the Game Boy.
The first GB Megaman got me hooked for the whole Megaman series, but Part II is my all time favorite. It has cool bosses and even cooler music, because some of the Robot Masters got a new tune for this game (like Needle Man, whose music is the reason I started remixing)

Crash Twinsanity - Main Theme
While the game could've been better easily, Spiralmouth's acapella score contribution turned out to be so catchy to me and add to the fun Saturday Morning Cartoon atmosphere the game was presenting itself with.

Donkey Kong Land - Title
Probably the first time I EVER paid close attention towards a game's title song. Even the game itself didn't disappoint itself score-wise; you'd be thinking exactly HOW they managed to get such textures done on a small 8-bit system like the Game Boy. o_O

Katamari Damacy - Katamari on the Rocks
NAAAAA NA NA NA NA NAAA NAA NAAAA NA KATAMARI DAMASHIIIII. Anything else that needs to be added is completely unnecessary.

Klonoa - The Windmill Song
I had stated in an interview with Mirby that these PS1 scores were often the ones that got me to pay a significant more amount of attention to game music than any other generation. Klonoa was one of the inspirational titles to me, and the theme song even proved itself with some great acoustic guitar programming for its time, time signature changes (holy 5/8 batman!) and fitting the appropriate nature for Klonoa's wind valley home.

I haven't played the game but this theme has grown on me a lot. The OST is a mixed bag for me, but the main theme will always be one of my favorite main themes.

[MJasper]

I find all of the Professor Layton themes to be fantastic, but the Unwound Future theme is definitely my favourite. It has so many different elements, baroque and jazzy and European: it's just beautiful.
