Off topic but FFX title screen makes me think I'm logging onto an MMO

That little title track always reminds me of Noriko Matsueda's awesome PlayOnline browser music. I catch your drift there, duder.

[MigueelDnd]

the thousand year door of course

Ah, this track. Excellent choice!

There's also Pokémon Red/Blue...

[Spieler Eins]

Metroid Prime

Obligatory in any thread about ,,Good/Best title screen anything''.

[tolkir]

Donkey Kong Country 2

[AGITΩ]

Be sure to drink your iodine. It's a crummy commercial, son of a bitch.

But...THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEE~~~

The song is infectious and gets stuck in my head any time I boot the game up.

[tkscz]

This is the theme that immediately popped into my head as I read the thread title.

This. This theme pop'd right into my head.

Final Fantasy XI - Vana'diel March

[Zoramon089]

Come on guys

Metroid Prime 3

[SpeedySwaf]

Corner of Memories. True, it doesn't sound very "epic," but it is quite distinct and very recognizable.

And of course the Dragon Quest series' title theme has barely changed in over 20 years, so it's very hard to forget.

[Kreios]

We have a winner

I was stuck on N64 for years. When I finally got a gamecube I popped the Metroid disk in and shat bricks.

But this is my "movie themed" game op music choice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTUIbKANot8

[Ken Masters]

just finished Mass 1-3 in the last month, so ME 1 menu theme

[hampig]

Super metroid is the one answer.

[Mordeccai]

I'm posting from my phone, so I can't provide the link, but battlefield 1942. Oh, and those of you, who posted metroid prime are right! Always reminded me of the fight club intro.

I add my voice to this mans! I shed manly tears when I hear 1942's theme... many good gaming memories had with that game and with the theme song itself :']

[Boogybro]

Pretty sure FF X-2, MGS3 and Xenoblade have the best intro musics of all time.

[awwyeahgurrl]

I'll pick something recent, Lollipop chainsaw's menu music. Cherrybomb has been stuck in my head for days.

You are a gentleman and scholar.

A bunch of Russians claimed the song was plagiarized and ruined MGS for everyone.

fuck, that does sound eerily similar though :/

[badgenome]

Secret of Mana

[BHK3]

I remember putting this in for the first time. I was not prepared. Having Krato's face right there, looking down from the cliffs of madness with this in the background is something I will never forget.

[Chunky]

Oh, and Sonic Colours, if you can at least enjoy it ironically.
I like it legitimitely :/

^^
Why did Colours come to me before the original?! I'm a little ashamed.

[Gravijah]

The music in colors was just straight-up awesome.

Mega Man 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Ao63nmzuE

Oh man I love this. It was so cool first starting this game up as a kid and being in awe of it (not to mention the awesome touch of Mega Man teleporting away once you hit start).

[Dinosaur]

Super Mario 64

[GoofsterStud]

The Nights Into Dreams intro. Yes, I said it. Yes, I am a man. Yes, my balls dropped!

[Jockel]

Phantasy Star Online Episode III is seriously good.

[TheExorzist]

Symphony of the Night

It was so catchy, I had to buy the game after I heard this. (srs)
Thank god the game was good too. ;-D

Glad to see Metroid Prime and Uncharted have been mentioned already.

Here's the MGS theme to complete the trinity of holy title themes:

[gumby_trucker]

Excite Bots
that is some epic music!

Also StarTopia

shame on anyone who never played this!

[sphinx]

Understandable but sad that noone has mentioned

Final Fantasy crystal chronicles GCN

it has a real song, composed for the game, credits, it's absolutely epic.

[Arklite]

All three main Killzone games have had surprisingly good (war film like) menu/intro themes.

[Gravijah]

what's wrong with me, why haven't i posted this yet?

Legend of Mana - Title Theme

[Myriadis]

Whoa, whoa whoa, there's a criminal lack of Zelda in here people The Legend of Zelda Link to the Past Ocarina of Time Wind Waker

Just wanted to post it. Especially Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. I think that Twilight Princess is also nice.

I'd like to mention Ortho's Theme from Kameo: Elements of Power; it's really beautiful and was stuck in my head for a good amount of time.

[Wes]

Civ IV and Kingdom Hearts come to mind.

[GCQuinton]

Couple of other ones:

Mafia 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59dvZS44fuI
Crysis 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5w2eW3jL1g
Ninja Gaiden 3 (if only the game matched it) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwEmbYmBZVQ

[Dinosaur]

Wind Waker wins hands down. Possibly the best Zelda song ever.

[shiptoncraig]

Every single Metroid Prime intro (well, besides Hunters and Pinball). I don't think there is a word other than epic that describes them all.

Other than that, I found Bulletstorm's title and Halo 3's Never Forget to be quite good too.

[StalkerUKCG]

Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 4

These always stick out in my head.

MGS1 gives me nerd vibes

[hlhbk]

Wind Waker wins hands down. Possibly the best Zelda song ever.

Never understood the hype for Wind Waker.

[gumby_trucker]

Understandable but sad that noone has mentioned Final Fantasy crystal chronicles GCN it has a real song, composed for the game, credits, it's absolutely epic.

nice find!!

I completely forgot about that one!

I love how they incorporate the famous Final Fantasy "Jingle" in an unobtrusive manner.


reminded me of another game with great music nobody played:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WeuY...feature=relmfu

[Dinosaur]

Never understood the hype for Wind Waker.

The game itself is very good, but the music is amazing. My favorite Zelda to look back on but not one of the ones I would actually go replay. Because of the tedious sailing. Very fun at the time though.

[Spiffy_1st]

Goldeneye, hur hur

[jokkir]

In recent memory, this game:



Theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnfpsCvwSN8

I remember just leaving it on the title screen and having a hard time playing it because I liked the title theme so much. Not exactly "epic" though, I guess.

[FStop7]

Not a title screen, but very evocative of spaghetti westerns - Red Dead Redemption's _super_ late title card. Amazing.

Mass Effect - amazing title screen and music

Halo 3

[kingkaiser]

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 - Main Menu Theme

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Intro 1

Intro 2

[Myriadis]

Understandable but sad that noone has mentioned Final Fantasy crystal chronicles GCN it has a real song, composed for the game, credits, it's absolutely epic.

Ah yes, it's not the title screen music, but the track for the intro video. Nonetheless, it is wonderful, absolutely beautiful, just like the rest of the soundtrack.
