Mega Man 2 (NES) Music - Air Man Stage

[@ALEXontheTOOB]

I would always start with Air Man's stage, and the theme would always make me feeling like I was walking into a party. I love this game.

Why japanese are so great at making short themes and music? Their melodic sense is insane.

[@RobertSoul123]

I think the best Japanese game songwriters study the basic principles of jazz and apply them

[@anak_kucing101]

Because they study music before jumping in to make music.

[@uber_nerd-l7r]

Look up Touhou music.

[@UnoriginalFish]

​@@anak_kucing101I think it may be cause their language is so melodic too. When I listen to japanese songs I feel that the words are flowing so smoothly. The structure of language is just so right for music!

[@anak_kucing101]

@@UnoriginalFish I should investigate information about that because I'm not convinced there are languages more suitable for music.

The first megaman I ever played was megaman 2 and I started with airman and I still love his theme

[@herbsuperb6034]

You picked a good one. Granted, I never played a Megaman game I outright disliked. 2 is an absolute classic NES game. Great music, too. Dr. Wily 1 from Mega Man 2 is oft cited as one of the best pieces of NES game music there ever was. On the whole I think Mega Man 3 actually had the better score, but wasn't quite as memorable a game.

[@SonicMaster519]

I always started with Woodman because he seemed the least intimidating to me and his level wasn't too bad once you figured out how to dodge those dogs that spit out fire. Airman was always second though because I knew his weakness was the Leaf Shield.

[@poliwhirlking]

I started with metal Man but Mega Man 2 was still my first Mega Man game.

[@augustovalero5549]

i started with quick man if im not wrong back in 1991

[@edwardgaines6561]

Embarrassingly, I played MM2 for the first time on an emulator back in the late 90s. I think it was called Nesticle or something...

[@frankrivers3797]

To this day, Air Man's theme song is as memorable as ever.

[@renatoide342pro4]

it's 2024 and i still like megaman

Never stop. Mega Man is love

It cam from a great era my friends. Nothing will be like it anymore. The first time we had our first Nintendo. The first real 3D game on console. All those nights with our friend, mountain dew and doritos. I miss those simpler times when we could rent Video Games for the week end. All that good stuff that the new generations will never know.

[@vykarion]

Can totally see The Protomen sampling this track. Absolute genius composition.

[@PikaPikaPowah]

This theme is very different, I think in the Mega Man series. This theme is really, REALLY perfected. Like the composer wanted to recreate an era of music using limited tools. Video games nowadays, REALLY need to go back to this limited features.

[@carmatic]

i kind of like how the music drops out when there are other sound effects which take precedence, it gave a focused atmosphere to the game

[@noobguy57]

carmatic well that wasn't intention since the NES only had 4 sound channels and sound effects had to use one, but I totally agree with your statement!
