Felt I should do something for the upcoming Splatfest. So there you go, Splat Zone~
It’s a mix of the song they used for the Splatfest trailer (which also plays in the second phase of the game’s Final Boss in insignificantly altered form) and Fighting of the Spirit from the Tales of series, I know you love that one. There was not much time to make it, but I really tried hard to make it interesting.
As usual you’ll find the video and download below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!
I guess I’ll be playing Splatoon the rest of the day….and tomorrow of course! Go, Team Pop! As for the North American fans, I’ll be rooting for Team Dogs! Happy splatting~
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 Hijinxfrom Donkey Kong Country and Minor Circuit from Punch Out!! That’s about all there is to it.

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.
The fifth and final entry of our second take on video game rivalries is nothing less than King Dedede vs Kirby! I know you’ve been waiting for this one.
These two…now THAT’s a true rivalry. King Dedede tried to clobba dat dere Kirbeh since day one, even copying some of his moves (most specifically the swallowing and flying) to get the upper hand. They often fight over food or nothing at all when they’re not helping each other fighting a greater evil. Although in about half of their battles by now Dedede was possessed or controlled by someone…
For this mix I chose the most representing themes for both characters and their rivalry, like Green Greens (Kirby’s Dreamland) and Popstar (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) for Kirby, King Dedede’s Theme (Kirby Super Star) and Masked Dedede (Kirby Super Star Ultra) for King Dedede and Bumper Crop Bump (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) and Gourmet Race (Kirby Super Star) to get their rivalry down. As an addition, I also used the Card Collection and Mini Boss Theme (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) because these tunes are pretty cool.
There were some other themes I would have liked to include, but they either didn’t work well or the song would have lost its direction with it. Those themes include Revenge of the King Ending (Kirby Super Star Ultra), Spring Breeze Ending (Kirby Super Star), Victory Dance (*insert any Kirby game*) and Submarine Battle (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse).

Now we’re pretty much done with our second Arch Rival “Month”, although I want to share a little extra with you next week, in 2 weeks the album VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2 will be officially released on bandcamp.
