That filter.... my eyes.... argh

I'd post a link to the Japanese version of Wily's Castle from Megaman 2 but I can't find it.

This'll do though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVdA9ABzpg

My friends did this Zelda song that was pretty good/funny. Years later, so many System of a Down fans thought it was from them, that their official website featured an update that denied creation of the song and restored credit to my pals.

Does this count? I mean it's a real, professional band, but the guy wrote the song because he was playing Odin Sphere.

It's a song about how much MGO1 vets miss it and now MGO2 is nothing like it.

What's that? Rock opera about Mega Man? Totally original melodies and artistic liberties taken with the characters?

This is the best. And the title (since the Count was silly and didn't title the link) Rabbit Joint - Legend of Zelda. I believe it was first released on OCRemix, but I could be wrong.

It was first released on an album called The Rabbit Joint.

Joe recorded it when he was still in highschool and included it as a bonus track many years later.

EDIT - shit, that album is 12 years old... fuuuuck, I am old.

Anything by my pal Fairuzons. He's actually studying composition now in aims of becoming a video game composer.

He's made some awesome game song remixes.

Here's his remix of the Lance battle theme from Pokemon:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvKOqJyrVYE

He made a great remix of the Song of Storms with accordians and a flute and stuff, but it got removed. His account on YouTube keeps getting banned for all the fanmade stuff lol.

He made a fake track for Final Fantasy Versus XIII called "Stella's Resolve"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJN-pfOGv9I

He created a fake track for Birth by Sleep that fooled people into thinking it was real xD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEuPQ7MsJd

Also! The Rising Falls OC Remix of the Hollow Bastion theme, and there was this one remix of the Halo theme at OC too..sounded jungle-y :)

Check out their other work as well. They put a lot of work into their arrangements.
