Thanks! I still like to download WIPs to be able to listen to them before they get posted on OCR because the evaluation process can be lengthy at times.

I really like it! Could you provide a download link?

Great song choice! Diddy Kong Racing has a great soundtrack that doesn't get enough love!

My kids are going to go ape shit over this. I guess that means I'm buying it

Nice! I like what you did with your "DKC I-lese" remix from VGMix!! And always great to hear another one from the artist formerly known as Blue Magic!

I'm guessing Capcom is hesitant to do this because such a game would have to explicitly depict the death/destruction of all of the main characters of the original series as part of the plot. Kinda lowers the prospect of future original series Mega Man games a bit. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see such a game, too, but I think that Capcom would prefer these story developments to occur offscreen.

Looks pretty sweet!! ... but we have to wait a year or so for it to come out...

Darker side? Yeah, I got about 10 minutes in, and then I died and started over from the beginning and I was like, "Nope, not today."

Aw, yeah, favorite mix from the competition!! I can put an official OCR-tagged song in my playlist at last!!

Yeah, I mean, the video game was so completely tongue-in-cheek that the people who made this movie clearly did not understand the tone of the game. I'll probably still watch it on Netflix or something, though (being the sucker for giant monster movies that I am).

Holy crap, McVaffe is back, and his "c" is now a "k"!! (FYI, I've been following his stuff since at least 1996 (I have three MIDI files, MCVLATIN.MID and MCVMIDAS.MID that I apparently downloaded in July of 1996, and a third, MCVWATER.MID, that I downloaded in August of '96), likely making him the first "remixer" I began paying attention to). Awesome remix, as always, and hope to see more from him soon!!

Not sure how ambitious you are, but there's a nice compulsory license system (see copyright.gov's link here) that can help you out a lot.. The law firm is just charging for their labor. The actual fees are substantially less. If you have the time, you could certainly become familiar enough with navigating the system to not need to use a lawyer.

And somehow, the harder they try, the worse the movie is. Once upon a time, the Fantastic Four was the flagship Marvel property. Now you'd be lucky to find your average person under 30 who knew who they were.

OCR has been the site that I have frequented the most consistently over the past 17 years or so. I have many mp3s that still reflect a "last modified" date in 2000 and 2001. Speaking from experience, I know that these forums are probably a lot less active because we oldtimers are having kids, jobs with more responsibilities, etc. -- so just less free time in general. But I still visit OCR at least once a day to check for newly posted remixes and any WIPs in the forums. Being someone that isn't involved in the creation of music in any way, OCR has definitely expanded my horizons in terms of musical tastes and experiences. So, indeed, thank you and good job to the community for keeping things chugging along for the better part of two decades!

Your Neblix has evolved in Nabeel Ansari! Seriously, his skills have evolved, too! Nice work!

C'mon is anyone going to sign up??

20 years ago, I bought a Playstation to be able to play Final Fantasy VII. I was so incredibly blown away by the graphics and gameplay, having then most recently experienced Final Fantasy III for the SNES -- oops, I forgot the kids today only know the game as Final Fantasy VI. I was a freshman in high school when I got the game, and that was 20 years ago. Despite my feeling older (i.e. not a kid) when I purchased the game, I've lived more of my life with Final Fantasy than without. ... ... Fuck, I'm old.

Wow, this is insanely good. And my 6-year-old son can listen to it with me since he loves Mario Kart! Also, I say Jeebus, too.

Saw this on the Russian Remix Roulette and am glad that this is no longer "OCRemoved". Loved this song when I first grabbed it 16 years ago, and even though it doesn't deviate much from the source material, it's a phenomenal remix that deserves its place on OCR.

Love this song. The rap and spoken parts are a callback (to me, anyway; not sure if anyone else feels the same) to the style of a lot of Dale North & Mustin remixes from the early to mid 2000s (both on OCR and outside releases like More Than Mario). Phenomenal work!

I would like to add that I've wanted this feature ever since tags were introduced. It's actually kind of frustrating to want to see more remixes with specific tags and not be able to easily find them.

Seems pretty sweet from the video preview. Definitely gonna check it out when it drops next week. EDIT: By the way, they had me at "Dale North".

Off the top of my head, Dragon Spirit:

Sweet mix! One of my favorite tracks from Xenogears, and it's about time that someone did a power rock version of the song!

Concerned about this as well, actually. I remember back when 128kbps was the standard, and after recently listening to a song encoded at that rate, I realized how much it sounds like crap. Also, artists generally aren't fully aware of how much their works are valued by listeners, so they may not always consider maintaining higher bitrate or lossless versions of their songs (nor may they be as diligent as they should about making backups).
