Proto Man's Fortress (MM5): The best Mega Man song nobody's ever heard

[KyleJCrb]

So while you all have been covering Mega Man 2 to death, Mega Man 5 has just been sitting here the whole time, practically ignored and unloved. What the heck, dudes?

Just listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ul1A-rwT0

Epic, right? Quite possibly one of the best songs in the entire series, right? It's been here the whole time, waiting for some remix love, and you've all just been ignoring it in favor of MORE Mega Man 2 Wily Stage remixes. I demand this be rectified immediately. In fact, I'd argue we should do Proto Man Fortress remix flood, because that's how amazing this theme is.

MAKE IT HAPPEN. LET'S DO THIS.

The best song in that game by FAR is the final boss jam.

[KyleJCrb]

That's one that needs to happen too.

[Magellanic]

I'm not that familiar with the MM games but you guys have pointed out two amazing tunes.

This tune is now on my "to-do" list. I don't know how long it'll take me but I'll make sure you're the first to know when its done

[MindWanderer]

Yeah, Dark Man has been on my to-do list, too, but my list is long and my skills are short. There hasn't been enough love for any of the Mega Man games from 4 to 6, IMO.

[KyleJCrb]

Not enough remixing of Dark Man's theme going on around these parts. First you won't remix Mega Man 7, now you won't do this. It's become apparent that you all just hate awesome music.

I was just playing Mega Man 5 this week.

This song is great, but the BEST is Wily Fortress up ahead.

(Anyone knows who made this? It's awesome. I found 2 videos on youtube, non-credited)

[Dave the Rave]

It's been 9 years since anybody has even made a remix for MM5. But don't you worry KyleJCrb, I plan on making 5 remixes for MM5. It's defintly on my "to be remixed" list. In fact, I've been thinking of making a meldey with DarkMan & Dark World (from LoZ:LTTP) somewhere down the road.

Once I have the right equipment, I'll do my best to see MM5 get more remixes. That's a promise that I intend to keep.

While you wait for the remix, listen to this

Best theme in MM5 -

, there should be more remixes of this one.

and a remix of Darkman's Stage:

EPIC.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, the Rock-Men covered this song 3 times on their album. It's what prompted me to post this in the first place.

[Vaiyt]

The Complete Works version is one of the best tracks in the whole thing.

The track just asks for a high-energy rock remix.

[KyleJCrb]

So... Dark Man ReMix Project, anyone?
