No, you didn’t miss any surprise announcement of a new ClassicMega Mansequel. Yes, Capcom is just as thick-headed as ever. But a fan can dream, can’t he?
Xavier “mv” Dangis a professional game composer who, like all sensible folks, has a soft spot for the little robot boy in blue. With theMega Manseries’ 25th anniversary fast approaching, Xavier decided to throw a celebration the best way he knew how — usingFamiTracker, he created an NES-style soundtrack for an fake “Mega Man 11“! He’s holding a listening party onhis TwitchTV channel, and once that’s over, he’ll make the album available onhis Bandcamp pagefor free download.
The main OST is 24 tracks (in mp3, FLAC, and even NSF formats) plus five bonus arrangements. For inspiration, he asked theShowPrimecommunity to suggest the eight Robot Masters. The ultimate picks — which were then brought to life by various contributing artists — are appropriately bizarre, such as Worm Man, Card Man, and Egg Man (no, notTHATEggman). But my favorite is definitely Whip Woman, who is decked out like a dominatrix and reminds me of Linda fromDouble Dragon.
If you enjoy good chiptunes, do tune in. If you likeMega Manjams, do tune in. If you are sitting in your house on a Sunday afternoon with no plans (like me), what else are you gonna do?
