Om Nom's VGM dump of fabulosity

[Om of the Nom]

Buy somethin' will ya is easily the best Earthbound song.
For Mother 3 however, we have this song.

[Brandi]

Naw, The best song from Earthbound is this:



That beat drop, this song is just amazing for Super Nintendo. Best boss music literally in history ever.

I agree with your assertion for Mother 3, though.

[Om of the Nom]

Nah, that song is totes overrated.
And also because this:

Spoiler: Keep out of the eyes of young children

[Brandi]

Overrated? No way. Overrated would imply that it's not as good as people think it is. And it is, it really is. Not debatable. I mean you could argue a few other songs above it (Saturn Valley Theme comes close IMO!) But it's definitely amazing.

I would say Owen Was her (as far as video game music everyone loves which the vid you linked reminds me of) is actually pretty overrated but still decent. I also hate the mcdonalds version. Cat version is the best.

[Om of the Nom]

Watch the video then.

[Brandi]

found it, this thing, I HATE THIS THING:

[Om of the Nom]

Yeah, UN Owen was her was a terrible song to use for that.

[Brandi]

Question: So if a video game uses a song that was not made FOR the game but because of the game it became wildly associated with it does it still count as video game music?

[Om of the Nom]

If it's so well associated with it that most people wouldn't know it wasn't originally not a video game song then sure I guess.

[Alduskkel]

Screw it I am just going to dump some great music here. VG music has always been some of my favorite stuff.

I won't post the obvious Portal 2 stuff, since I'm sure people know about it already, but this is good too:

Okay, I'm done.

For now.

[Om of the Nom]

"Fantasy Explorer Nitroid"
"World of Goo"
"Within a Deep Forest"
Can I just say I love you?

Also this is an amazing arrange of Jelly from WoG.

[Alduskkel]

Nice piece.

I'm surprised you've heard of, let alone played Nitroid. I had to work my ass off to get a copy from Japan since I'm overly principled about never pirating anything.

[Om of the Nom]

Ehehehe....
I don't really have much of a way to get it from Japan, nor do I have the money for it. I'm a rotten pirate.
Been wanting to buy the Touhou games at some point though.

[Alduskkel]

Well, I got Nitroid from this guy for about $35. He also has some links for people hunting for Touhou games.

[Om of the Nom]

I thought you would have got it from Forza lol.
But yeah I don't have the money right now.

[Alduskkel]

Do you watch raocow? Just wondering, since he's one of the obvious people to learn about Nitroid from.

[Om of the Nom]

Not really, I've seen some of his videos though.
I'm just a really avid Touhou fan.

[Om of the Nom]

I swear the battle themes in SMRPG are the best songs in the game. They're both unfitting yet fitting at the same time.

Spoiler: Super Mario RPG

[Om of the Nom]

I'm sure a lot of you have seen this before, but here's some literal videogame music.

Spoiler: 5 cookies for you if you can tell what's in this spoiler

[Om of the Nom]

How could I forget the awesomeness that is Rhythm Tengoku? I've decided it's best to put in actual gameplay videos since the sound effects just adds to the enjoyment.

Spoiler: Rhythm Tengoku

[sajid]

I also liked the music from Dragon Age: Origins, the Mass Effect games.

[JDodge]

Spoiler: Mentioning earthbound without earthbound battle themes? for shame

I approve of this thread.

Probably my favorite VGM by a longshot:
