YouTube user Sarsion is working on a Sonic Generations mod which recreates all of Sonic 1 using the Generations engine. While the mod isn’t particularly far in development at the moment, the soundtrack is complete and available for download now.
The soundtrack is titled South Island: Classic and it was arranged and remixed by NicoCW. You can download the whole album for free via this link: CLICK HERE
You can also see a trailer for the mod below which explains the whole project in more detail. WARNING: Bad language
OC Remix have revealed a rather fantastic remix of Panic Puppet Act 1 from the Saturn version of Sonic 3D. Check it out below (remember all OC Remix YouTube videos contain a download link in the description):
It’s snowing and London and the Internet is throwing a wobbler! However, we think snow is pretty awesome so we thought we’d celebrate with a bumper edition of SEGA Tunes featuring loads of themes from different snow stages in the Sonic series! Click the links below to enjoy some wintery fun!
While we love the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 soundtrack, we missed hearing Jun Senoue’s signature guitar work in action. Luckily, the CD version of the soundtrack includes a very special arrangement of all 3 Splash Hill themes with additional instrumentation such as Senoue-san’s famous guitar work. If you haven’t experienced this then make yourself familiar!
Brazilian metal beasts MegaDriver have released their own version of Splash Wave from the Outrun soundtrack. You can check it via this link: CLICK HERE
The band have been strangely focussed on music from games not featured on the Mega Drive for quite some time and have also begun work on original material.
You can also hear the Splash Wave cover in the below video which puts the song directly into Outrun 2 with great effect:
We’re huge fans of Hideki Naganuma’s sample-driven, hyperactive, pop stylings so we thought it was about time we featured one of the man’s greatest moments. Funky Dealer comes from the Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack and contains everything Naganuma-san is known for: huge beats, sampled vocals, flourishes of guitar work and a certain catchiness that only this man can achieve.
Ace deuce craps wants four:
If you’re interested in owning a physical copy of the Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack, SEGA re-released it on CD last October. Click here to order a copy!
In a shock move from SEGA, the soundtrack to Valkyria Chronicles 2 is now available on the US and EU iTunes stores. The 47 song soundtrack is £15.99 for UK users. We are unable to confirm the price in US dollars and Euros at this time.
Anyone remember the SEGA arcade game Quartet? Allow me to jog your memory:
Now here’s an interesting remix for you all! The main theme from Quartet was remixed and added as a playable song in Project DIVA Arcade. Check out the promotional video below:
Also interesting for Sonic fans is that if you skip the chorus (1:14) you might recognise the melody to It Doesn’t Matter from Sonic Adventure. Seriously! We’re not entirely sure if this is a coincidence or not but it’s certainly worth noting!
Now here’s a welcome first for SEGA! The Sonic Colours soundtrack ‘Vivid Sound x Hybrid Colors’ is to be released on iTunes in North America and Europe! Game soundtracks are becoming more and more difficult to find on Western shores so the digital distribution of the Sonic Colours soundtrack is a welcome alternative.
Here’s the pricing for both North America and UK:
Individual tracks: $1.29 / £0.99
Per Disc: $9.99 / £7.99
That’s a massive saving on importing and you don’t have to risk getting a massive custom’s charge (I got stuck with an additional £20 on top of the original £40 order; ouch!).
Whilst browsing the internet recently, I discovered that the guitarist for one of my favourite bands is a bit of a gamer geek. The chap in question is Ol Drake from the thrash band Evile. His channel has a few heavy metal re-imaginings of video game tunes but this rendition of the Jungle Zone theme from the 8-bit version of Sonic 1 really stood out:
