SEGA AGES OutRun - STEP-ON BEAT [ARCADE EDITION] (sdhizumi)

SEGA's OutRun got released for Nintendo Switch the other day as part of M2's sublime "SEGA AGES" series, and brought with it a bunch of newly arranged tracks.
This track is "STEP-ON BEAT". It originated in the Mega Drive version of OutRun, and has now been remastered for the original arcade sound hardware by sdhizumi!
Hopefully these new tracks receive an official release! The 3DS tracks were added to the OutRun soundtracks on Spotify and iTunes, so who knows?
SEGA AGES OutRun is available on the Japanese Nintendo eShop: ec.nintendo.co...
A Western release is planned for 2019, but the game will load in English if an English account is used to start it!

元のメガドラ版と比べて爽やか感増したアレンジになってるw

[@supermariobro93]

While I prefer the original Genesis version, I’m actually glad it was remade for this release! Still sounds good! 😊

[@figment1988]

love how superior this arcade arrangement is over the Genesis original.

[@Scarflix]

figment1988 for real

[@KTJohnsonkidThunder]

I'll take the Genesis original any day.

The FUNK

[@Tochir0]

I prefer the more nasty Genesis sound for this, good remix tho

[@shalpp]

The brass is the high point of this song and it just sounds really weak but that's no fault of the arranger, more than anything prooabbly trying to keep the original instruments of possible

[@ViperKreuz]

This sounds better than the Genesis version. I think mainly because the instrumentation sounds more closer to what you'd hear in the arcade.

[@KTJohnsonkidThunder]

Nah. I like the chunkier and more twang version from the Genesis original instead.

[@RaposaCadela]

This song makes absolutely no sense, but it doesn't care and it JAMS

[@christopherwilliams9418]

It almost sounds like an 80s tv show theme lol

[@KTJohnsonkidThunder]

This version is cool, but the Genesis version sounds MILES BETTER.

[@JK47Tubing]

FACTZ!!!

[@BenJabituya]

Sounds like this could have been a Ready For The World tune!

[@steverob5]

The drums are better in this version (but then the Genesis sound chip always struggled with decent drum sounds) but other than that, the original version is way better hands down than this.

[@shalpp]

Early release title with smaller ROM sizes, so not much room for decent samples

[@ryzmaker11]

Meh. I prefer the Mega Drive original, especially the beginning but also the instrument choices as a whole, more stylish whereas here it's a bit too plain and also somehow and unfittingly "funny". Still cool to hear, though.

[@RaposaCadela]

HEH, this composition is just funny, no matter how it is arranged
