As it is tradition with VG Arch Rivals albums, there is a bonus track that can only be found on the album itself (and not downloaded in any other way).

The second and “full” bonus track of VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3 is Faces of Evil. Since some of you asked for Link vs Ganon I thought I should include that as well. …what do you mean, that’s not what you meant?

Faces of Evil features the songs Glutko Face (Link: The Faces of Evil), Sakado – Gibdo’s Cathedral (Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon), Goronu Face (Link: The Faces of Evil) and Reesong Palace – Goria’s Welcome (Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon), the biggest focus being on Glutko Face. While the games are infamous for their cut scenes and particularly terrible game play, I actually find the music pretty catchy. It certainly doesn’t have any kind if Zelda feel to it, that’s for sure.

Planned release for VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3 is (still) next Sunday, October, 23rd. Better mark that date in your calendar~

So here we go (as noted above, no download, sorry~):

And that’s it. Imma prepare the songs for the album now and I will hopefully be done by next Sunday so that the album can be released in time. See ya then!

As it is tradition with VG Arch Rivals albums, there is a bonus track that can only be found on the album itself (and not downloaded in any other way).

As the title suggests, the third installment will have multiple bonus tracks…although not quite. There will be instrumental versions for those people who strictly don’t want anyone to talk during their musics because they think it’s annoying and/or distracting. This really only affects about 3 sound effects in two songs, so not that much of a deal.

A much bigger deal is Porky’s Solo. It’s an altered version of Ness vs Porky that only features Porky’s tunes. So it starts off the same way, but where you expect Eight Melodies to play, it skips right to Piggy Guys and extends that part a bit before it returns to Natural Killer Cyborg. Thus it retains the darker Porky feel throughout the whole song.

I also added some drums so the whole thing sounds more GROOOOOOVY (get it~). The additional ‘groove’ affects Ness vs Porky as well, which you’ll find on the album when it’s finished. Planned release for VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3 is October, 23rd. Better mark that date in your calendar~

So let’s hear it (as noted above, no download, sorry~):

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here’s the video, it also features the album art for the upcoming release:

So, are the other bonus tracks gonna be the instrumental versions? No~

Next up is the true bonus song of VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3. It’s something that some of you have been asking for…but it’s probably not what you meant~

Prepare yourself for the last (regular) entry of VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3!

And we’re ending this one with a very nice rivalry: Star Fox vs Star Wolf! For this mix I decided to go with Corneria (Star Fox), obviously the Star Wolf Theme (Star Fox 64) and the Star Fox Theme (Star Fox 64). I think that’s the most fitting songs, lots of electronic sounds for Fox McCloud and epic trumpets for Wolf O’Donnell.

I’ve been thinking about including Corneria from Star Fox Zero as well, since that’s a really epic tune, but it would have been pretty difficult to fit that into the mix, so…at least I thought about it~

And here’s the video:

Sorry to those who expected another Ace Attorney or something like that…but I’m certain this wasn’t the last “Arch rival month“. There’s still so many song ideas left, I’d love to do another one next year!

Next up are the extra songs which you can only get by downloading the full album. And I’ve prepared something special for that…
