This is a great tune, and a great ReMix as well. At first I wasn't too sure, as the drum loop used is a little rough or maybe even garage sounding, but it grows on you, and by the end of the song you realize it's quite perfectly used. Our first submission from Gux, this track shows a helluva lot of promise and will no doubt be appreciated by fans of the oft-ReMixed megaman or as the Japanese like to call him "Rockman". I think Megaman sounds a lot cooler, personally . . . one of the few instances where the American version is better, perhaps? Anyway, good ReMix so definitely check it out . . . also, I must thank mr Gux personally for providing me with the file formatted PERFECTLY, with ID3 and filename perfect as well. Saves me time :)

Bros!
The drumloop got repetitive quickly, but luckily the rest of the mix was interesting enough (I have no idea how different this is from the source tune.) The bass sample definitely doesn't hold up by today's standards but the chiptune elements are good. It definitely has that boss music feel to it!

For the most part this is more of an enhancement of the original.
The new material added in is really nice, but it's so separate from
the source that it feels like two different but slightly related
tracks. The drums are pretty much the same throughout as well,
which isn't helping things out. Not for me.

this song made me want to run around and punch things (from me this
is a compliment). perfect length too. you should make a second
version of it that loops. perhapses one that can link up with this
one the way they do it in the game. I wonder if it is possible to
replace the original song in a modified rom of MM3 with this.

It doesn't really progress and distinctly feels on the surface like
it's a nsf with drums added, but there are subtle synth touches.
Drums however are repetitive as hell, and it gets kinda grating.
There is a nice B section, but overall sample quality is pretty
dated.
If you love MM3, which a lot of people do, this will be some good memories, but as a track, I just can't get into it.

It sounded like it had great potential, but on the whole, it was a
whole couple of minutes of the same thing...

this would be great for a boss theme for one of the sonic adventure
series
close your eyes and you can picture sonic using his homing attack over and over again on some giant robotic boss

It got speed, kick-ass attitude, a real good bass, awesome drums,
and some chill sounds from the original. Ohyes, it is Boss Time
indeed.

Whoa.
Seriously.
Just plain incredible. You took the 8-Bit-ness and turned it into a perfectly blownout song. Awesome job, dude.

Clumsy pretty much said all that there is to be said. Starting off
with music and sounds straight from the game, it adds layer after
layer onto the original until it is a pretty damn good remix with
the heart of the original and the sound of a totally new song. This
is definitely one of the top 10-15 remixes on the site as far as
I'm concerned, the whole thing just has this atmosphere that makes
me keep imagining boss fights from MM3.
I want to play Mega Man 3 now, damn it.

Its simple, clean and neat. I really liked it for some reason, and
its probably because I like the Nintendo ditty, but I also love
drums and bass, so the simple nature combining both things made me
love this piece.

Wow, I'm quite impressed. This remix keeps the heart of the
original and adds to it. It has become one of my favorite remixes.
I just recently replayed Mega Man 3 (my favorite of the original
series) and heard the boss theme. Doing what any smart person would
do after enjoying the song, I hopped onto OCRemix to look for the a
remix. Gux doesn't disappoint! 8)

Of all the Megaman tracks on OCR, I enjoyed "It's Boss Time" the
most. It's pretty simple compared to the others, but it creates the
most vivid images in my mind. The gate closing down in the
beginning, the fierce battle that follows, and the inevitable
failure at the end. A very appropriate use of Megaman's death sfx.
Another great thing is that it's the soundtrack to most all bosses,
and can have many different scenerios to be played to. I suppose
the main reason for liking this track tremendously is because of
the nostalgia it creates*. Even though it isn't an overly unique
concept, the arrangement was put together very nicely. Thank you
much, Gux! Word.
I also dug "Wily Metal" hardcore.
*by the way, I don't suck. I made the bosses eat it with no sweat; I owned them. No, truly, they were a piece of cheese cake. You doubt me? Aw.

Not bad, but I can tell there could be room for improvement. But
everyone is hit or miss... :wink:
