Nope, if you've listened to the official soundtrack, you'd know how horrible it is, primarily because of the horrendous pitching, poor looping moments, and missed potential. So don't even try to say that "It just needed proper love" bs.

[@YoshifreakZX]

I agree with you.

[@dawsonhiemstra510]

I agree, for some reason i am fascinated with the story behind Megaman 2 Gb. Dr Wily travelling into the past to capture and transform Megaman into Quint, and the present Megaman needing to stop Wily again in space with rebuilt Robot Masters. It could be made into a great story if put into media.

[@kitty-xk3xx]

It's amazing how you managed to turn a soundtrack with a few decent songs that suffered from bad instrumentation and ungodly high pitched sounds into something truly amazing.

[@MatthewBetleyVO]

Hands down the best reinterpretation of this game's music I've ever heard. Totally realizes the potential the soundtrack had, especially to become one of the darkest-sounding OSTs in the classic Mega Man series. And thank you, THANK YOU for giving the final stage a remix rather than the exact same track as the title. This is 100% how it should've been in the first place. 10/10, am listening again and again!

[@St0rmT0rnad0]

Agree on the dark undertone compared to the NES. It fits the game's premise more if you ask me - Wily just wanted to take over the world in the first game, but this time round is the first game in the series where he is looking to actually destroy Mega from the start

[@sr.favopossodeixarvaziosim4595]

MMII is the VGM equivalent of a beautiful woman who has a bad drug habit. She's pretty, but she needs someone to treat her good and abandon the bad stuff, so she can shine like the little beautiful star she was meant to be. Your sound is smooth to the ears and feels good.

Urvy1A By "saddest" you mean "bad" or actually sad? Because yours is not the first comment that I've read in which someone refers to MM2GB's music as sad. And if so I can agree. Mega Man 1's Wily 1 Theme (which is damn near impossible to find) I always thought of as a very melancholic track.

[@Urvy1A]

SpiralPegasus Actually sad, since the OST has a tragic feel.

[@silentaswang9968]

SpiralPegasus I have the same feeling with Wily's 1st stage theme from Mega Man 1. It's the very opposite of the upbeat from Mega Man 2. In fact, I think the other Wily theme in Mega Man 1 is very depressive and dark for some reason.

19:40 You're about to face Wily, when the room goes black. A second, helmetless Mega Man fades in. His helmet constucts around him, fins jutting out the front, and his glasses lower. The Boss health meter does its thing. The battle starts. After the fight, he doesn't leave. He explodes like normal, dropping an I.C. Chip like the MM1 Bosses that upon landing, cracks. This is why X needed to be created, Future Classic was removed from the timeline. EDIT: Also, this is between MM3 and MM4. Fuck Sakugarne. He has the Charge Buster from MM6. The crack leaves it in its MM4 state.

Absolutely phenomenal, a game that really, truly needed this to showcase its actually kickass melodies that most people never are able to get past the instrumentation to appreciate. And so very close to your MM2 set? Unheard of. You've earned rest for sure, but perhaps for the next of these you might consider MMVGB with some Punk and Ballade loves since their respective games are 90% the NES equivalents' OSTs, you've already done so good by Enker and Quint and they're technically featured in the game anyway?

[@Phoenixesper1]

Of all the Gameboy megaman games MM4 got the closest to being spot on with it's nes counter part songs. However MM2 on GB had a fantastic music set, in fact all the GB games had great music...well save for MM3.
