Mega Man 8 - Opening Music Extended [High Quality]

This is it! One of my favorite tunes in Mega Man 8 is the fucking opening theme itself! This theme plays during the introduction FMV of Mega Man 8. While making this, I have taken the liberties of trying and making this the highest quality upload it can be. This includes:
Getting the exact loop point on Audacity
Using the SEGA Saturn version
Usage of .wav file format. (Lossless)
If you loved the opening theme of Mega Man 8 and were longing for an extension, this is for you. I certainly wanted it myself.
Credit goes to the brilliant composer for this game, Shusaku Uchiyama.
Do not mistake the title for being a SiivaGunner video.....

One of my good friends borrowed me Mega Man 8 (12 years ago) and I found the game in the basement last year. I called him, so we can play it like good old times. We started the game together and played it after 12 years on my old PS1. The last time we played was a couple of months ago and the current save state on my Memory Card is still there, where we beated 6 bosses. Yesterday I got a call from his brother, that he died last week... I knew him since 2005 and he was only 28 years old... but I will continue our savestate in honor and playing it by myself like good old times, when the time is right! R.I.P. Michael

[@OlTimeKremit]

May he rest easy! 🙏

[@praystation]

Past tense of beat is still beat. Not beated. idiot.

[@magic4478]

Sorry dude , i hope you be fine.

[@sonicthehedgehog989]

I warned many people from taking the needle. I wanted to avoid the losses as much as possible, but unfortunately they took it, and as expected losses occurred. Stay safe my friend and I hope you really enjoy playing this great video game for your memories. Be strong. Btw I also had it on the PS1.

[@picoultimate7707]

@@solarflare9078 I feel like Mega Man 8's international themes are more underrated than the Japan-exclusive songs.

Yeah, it has a really catchy tune you can't help but enjoy.

[@louisimhotep3238]

If you came looking for an extended version of the opening of Megaman 8 it is because this video game or its music have a special place in your heart. I started playing megaman/rockman on the NES console, megaman 1, 2 and 3 were the only company I had from the ages of 7 to 10, later, in 2000 at the age of 14 I worked packing products in a supermarket for customers and I received tips that I saved and I was able to buy my Play station one, the first game that crossed my path was Megaman 8, I was going through a deep depression and it was as if Megaman rescued me again, When I tell this anecdote to people I usually feel judged and despised because no one believes that a video game can get you out of bad times, Megaman got me out of a lot of sadness and playing it got me away from negative things that were beginning to invade my life and that's why I have a lot of love for everything I have to do with megaman, the classic saga and the X saga. Peace, love and many hours of fun with megaman from Mexico City. Sorry for my bad english✨✨✨✨

[@jshrosales]

Needed this extension to motivate me while studying. Thanks for this!

There's something very nostalgic and early '90s about this.

God bless you for this! Someone took the other extended version down for some reason then you came clutch with it!

[@JoLiKMC]

Extended versions aren't usually my thing, but this one? This one sounds professional. I'm genuinely impressed with the smoothness and the quality of this loop. Very very well done, SoFla!

[@ryanindi96]

yesss

[@Epsilonsama]

When the NA intro music is as good as the JP that the Japanese fans behind the Rockman 8 FC fan game used both on their intro cutscene.

The perfect loop doesn't exi-...

[@sigurdtheblue]

I never forget this opening music, as well as the animation. And the Japanese version is pretty much equal, although I would say it was an absolutely timeless lyrical track. I listened to it first in 2012 or something but it felt like I already knew the song despite only knowing Mega Man through the X, Battle Network and Zero series soundtracks at that time. I did own the English Mega Man 8 though.

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

One of the best Megaman 8 music after the Cutman,Woodman and Aquaman's theme

[@riverdibella9777]

Hi solar flare and Man where does the time fly hearing this beautiful masterpiece from Mega Man 8 opening intro theme and mega man 8 is a personal favorite of mine from ps1 era and I grew up with the mega man series franchise as a kid who grew up with the original ps1 console and mega man 8 holds a special place in my heart from my childhood and such a godlike awesome game with a beautiful soundtrack and so nostalgic and one of the best games I’ve played on ps1 and I still have my black label of this game to today and I always treasure it every day and I also love the GameCube,ps2,ps1, and the ps4 remastered version of the game and keep up the awesome and amazing work on your channel and your channel rocks and roll.🎸❤️💕❤️✌️👍⭐️

[@PK_Fantasy7]

It’s funny how some pretty bad or under appreciated games have the best openings and or themes.

[@dnmstarsi]

It's also funny how both the English and Japanese opening themes are both awesome in Mega Man 8. And if anyone thinks that's BS, the Famicom demake includes both opening themes in the opening sequence.

Is there any songs that kinda do that guitar riff at 0:13, its so unique and so far ive only heard it in this track

[@beard3451]

Man I love this theme! Would you be able to upload a version with the first 25 seconds also in the loop? It cuts off at 2:24 without looping all the way back to the beginning, and I really like the whole song looping! I would be grateful if you could please do that!
