Summary: <p>On June 20th, 2020, an era came to an end. After 200 episodes, the Power Pros podcast closed its doors…at least for the time being.</p> <p>However, on their next-to-last episode, the Pros did something I’d been bugging host “The Hoff” Chris Hoffman to do for months: an episode dedicated to 10 of each of their favorite video game soundtracks.</p> <p>I was so impressed with the Pros’ picks and the heartfelt way they discussed each game that I just had to build our second bonus episode around those very same games. And you, gamers, are in for a treat.</p> <p>Along with Pete and Hoff, I recommend that everyone check out these full soundtracks. It's easier than ever these days to listen to game soundtracks, so get out there and enjoy some Very Good Music!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Track list:</p> <p>Intro - Shark Flower - from the 2013 album Thirteen Orphans - Andy Myers, AKA Stenobot (the Power Pros theme song)</p> <p>13:12 - Actraiser - <strong>Ending </strong>- Yuzo Koshiro - d.Quintet/p.Enix/SNES, 1990</p> <p>17:18 - Contra - <strong>Base </strong>- Kazuki Muraoka/arr Hidenori Maezawa, Kiyohiro Sada - Konami/Arcade, 1987/NES, 1988</p> <p>21:20 - Chrono Trigger - <strong>Ayla's Theme </strong>- Yasuonori Mitsuda - Square/SNES, 1995</p> <p>24:51 - F-Zero X - <strong>The Long Distance of Murder (Red Canyon)</strong> - Taro Bando, Hajime Wakai - Nintendo/N64, 1998</p> <p>28:15 - Double Dragon - <strong>Opening Level </strong>- Kazunaka Yamane - Technos Japan/Taito/Arcade, 1987/NES, 1988</p> <p>32:11 - Metroid Prime - <strong>Tallon Overworld (remix of NES Brinstar)</strong> - Hirokazu Tanaka/arr Kinji Yamamoto, Kouichi Kyuma - Retro Studios/Nintendo/GameCube, 2002</p> <p>38:21 - Ducktales - <strong>Himalayas </strong>- Hiroshige Tonomura - Capcom/NES, 1989/90</p> <p>41:32 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - <strong>Black Mist </strong>- Koji Kondo - Nintendo/SNES, 1991/92</p> <p>45:36 - Final Fantasy VI - <strong>Epitaph </strong>- Nobuo Uematsu - Square/SNES/1994</p> <p>50:30 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - <strong>Grandma's theme </strong>- Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo - Nintendo/GameCube, 2002/03</p> <p>54:35 - Gradius III - <strong>Continue Theme </strong>- Miki Higashino - Konami/Arcade, 1989/SNES, 1990/91</p> <p>57:39 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - <strong>Gerudo Valley </strong>- Koji Kondo - Nintendo/N64, 1998</p> <p>1:01:25 - Legend of the Mystical Ninja/Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyushutsu Emaki - <strong>Town of Yamato </strong>- Kazuhiko Uehara, Harumi Ueko - Konami/SNES, 1991/92</p> <p>1:04:38 - Punch Out!! - <strong>Minor Circuit </strong>- Yukio Kaneoka, Akito Nakatsuka, Kenji Yamamoto/arr Mike Peacock, Darren Radtke, Chad York - Next Level Games/Nintendo/Wii, 2009</p> <p>1:07:36 - Mega Man II - <strong>Dr. Wily Stage 2</strong> - Takashi Tateishi - Capcom/NES, 1988</p> <p>1:10:28 - Street Fighter II - <strong>Guile's Theme </strong>- Yoko Shimomura - Capcom/Multi-Platform, 1991</p> <p>1:13:57 - Ninja Gaiden – <strong>Prison of the Dead (Act 5 Part 1)</strong> - Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Nitta - Tecmo/Arcade, 1988/NES, 1988/89</p> <p>1:17:16 - Super Mario Bros. 2 - <strong>Battle Against Wart </strong>- Koji Kondo - Nintendo/NES, 1988</p> <p>1:20:26 - Super Castlevania IV - <strong>Dracula Battle </strong>- Masanori Adachi, Taro Kudo - Konami/SNES, 1991</p> <p>1:32:50 - Super Mario World - <strong>Ending </strong>- Koji Kondo - Nintendo/SNES, 1990/91</p> <p><br></p> <p>Look for our next episode to drop on Tuesday, September 8th, and new episodes to come every other Tuesday following!</p> <p>Shout out @Shootkapow on Twitter or e-mail us at <a href="mailto:verygoodmusicvgm@gmail.com">verygoodmusicvgm@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/vgmvgm</p> <p>Like and subscribe on YouTube!</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vgmvgm/message
