Shooting Star Punch

Surprise! Bonus track time: Shooting Star Punch, a.k.a. Donkey Kong vs Little Mac! A little extra for those who download the upcoming album VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2.

Not actual rivals, not even in the same franchise…although DK actually challenged Little Mac in Punch Out!! for the Wii. Now that’s bonus track material right there.

But what do I mean by bonus track? Basically, it’s a little extra, which is a reason this has been uploaded out of the usual schedule. It doesn’t even show up on the album until you download it. The main difference however is that you don’t get a download link for it! Yes, that’s how mean I am. So, unless you download the album, you can’t get it~

The mix basically contains the Opening theme and Jungle Hijinx from Donkey Kong Country and Minor Circuit from Punch Out!! That’s about all there is to it.

As usual you’ll find the video and song below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

The first album had a bonus track as well, which was called MegaMadness if you remember. It was more or less a Proto Man vs Zero thing (more a Mega Man medley though) and was only used in the release video. But this one deserves its own video I felt. And don’t forget: target release date for the album VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2 is next Sunday, 28/06/2015, on bandcamp.

Arch Rival Month 2

The time has come! Starting next week, we’ll be having another special month (well…not quite “month”, but we’ll call it that anyway): VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2!

This time, we have another bunch of Arch Rival mixes, featuring four legendary good guy vs bad guy constellations and one fan suggestion. There were many discussions going on last time which are true “rivals” and which are just “enemies”. For that matter, and since we mostly have protagonist vs final boss constellations, allow me to add some detailed thoughts and arguments when I upload those mixes, so don’t forgot to follow the stuff I post here as well!

Scorching Fires

The loser of the voting we had a few weeks ago and the last upload before Arch Rival Month 2.

What should have been a Heart of Fire remix as implied by the voting we had, it turned out into a Castlevania-something-megamix. Although it might not be as “mega” as implied…

So at last it contains a lot of other songs as well, let me list them here:

  • Heart of Fire, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; the main theme of the song, the theme of Julius Belmont
  • Dance of Illusions, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; helps transitioning the intro into the main song
  • Vampire Killer, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; underlines Julius’ duties as a Belmont descendant
  • Divine Bloodlines, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (also Dracula X); theme of Richter Belmont, my favorite of the Belmont’s and a really cool theme at that, which plays in a burning town, so it kinda fits~
  • Trouble!, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi; there is a part in Heart of Fire that sounds just like that, so I thought why not exchange those parts~
  • Last Battle, Cave Story; serves as an epic intro and helps overcome the more uninteresting parts

I don’t know why, it just turned out like that…sorry to those who were hoping for more focus on the Heart of Fire theme :/

And that does it, now prepare yourselves for VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2! Next week I might reveal the rivalries we’ll cover this time, so stay tuned!
