Most of FamilyJules7x's stuff is awesome. He does a lot of Pokemon stuff, but I'm a particular fan of his Tetanus Blues cover from Super Meat Boy, his metal version of Want You Gone, and a better modern version of the Battlefield theme than Battlefield 3 got.

 

[AAK]

I kept this thread favorited promising myself to check it out later. After listening to all the responses I heard a good majority of the ones already posted, but the ones below I haven't heard are below and they were awesome!

Jake "virt" Kaufman - Crystal Flash (every song from Super Metroid)

You're welcome.

MintJam - Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger


So good.

the hours i've spent of youtube watching aweful versions of video game music.
i like this guy though.
Andy's Anthem from advance wars

Thanks for posting guys

 

[To Far Away Times]

It's been mentioned before but:

Sonic 3 - Hydrocity

Also, a new challenger appears:

Duck Tales - Moon

 

[Kuwa]

Command & Conquer Red Alert - Hell March

I love this

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

it saddens me that Phoenix Wright's Cornered Remix by Cadenza has not been mentioned

 

[sugarless]

Slightly OT, but this orchestrated version of the 1UP Show theme is incredible. When another podcast played it to mark the final episode of the 1UP Yours podcast, a show I had listened to for years, I teared up.

 

[Platy]

Big Giant Circles feat. Jeff Ball - Thunderstruck (Song of Storms - Zelda), part of this remix project

Is one of the best game remixes, song of storm remixes and every kind of unofficial music ever

I'm addicted to this !

 

[Richie]

Majora's Mask Metal Medley.

Magnificent Musical Masterpiece Makes Marvelous Memories Materialize!

 

[Amagon]

TIL that The OneUps are fucking awesome!

 

[-KRS-]

Perhaps not entirely in the theme of most songs in here so far since it's still NES music, but I really like this remix of the Moon Theme from Ducktales.

Edit: That dude has some great NES remixes in general as well so be sure to give them a listen. Like this Mega Man 2 remix using the VRC7 mapper that has extra sound channels.

Edit again: Damn this was also pretty cool. By another guy, an NES remix of a T&C Surf Design tune. That's what I like about remixes like this, they sound better than the original but are still on the same hardware

Someone in the Skyrim thread recently pointed out a particularly impressive cover of Skyrim's The Dragonborn Comes.

 

[Night_Trekker]

I know a guy who knows a guy who is working on a massive project: a Xenogears "rap opera." The game's music is of course being remixed into tracks, and every major scene in the game will be covered and fully voiced by professional voice actors, with rap battles replacing actual important battles from the game. Some scenes will be straight up voice acting, some will be in verse. I'm pretty impressed by what I've heard so far, though it is of course a work in progress.

There's a lot of talent going into this. The guy behind the project, RuneWalsh, has collaborated with the 8-Bit Boys (including nerdcore rapper ytcracker) on an album, among tons of other collaborations. I don't know when the project will be finished, but it's going to be good, especially if you're a fan of the game.

Some samples:

-Crimson Blood- (Old Demo)

-Seeker of Power- (Old Demo)

-The Tournament- (Old Version)

Demo Beats -Invasion-

Demo Beats -Ancient Dance-

Someone in the Skyrim thread recently pointed out a particularly impressive cover of Skyrim's The Dragonborn Comes.

I thought this one was pretty impressive, too: Morrowind/Skyrim Theme Piano Violin Medley with Lara.

The ladies are mighty attractive to boot!

EDIT: Ugh, two of my favorite Castlevania covers are not on YouTube. Check out Rize's covers of Soul of Axe Armor (Aria of Sorrow) and Awake (Circle of the Moon).

 

[Ty4on]

Haven't seen anyone mention it, but think many have heard it.

Castlevania - Bloody Tears (Piano)
Extra

So good.

I wonder if he has any connection to Tom Zohar? Same name, both accounts do amazing piano versions of video game music... Although tzohar started uploading videos around the time zohar002 stopped, there's a few months overlap. Coincidence?

Spoiler

I know they're different people

Anyway, some of his music:
Super Mario Galaxy - Good Egg Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy - Gusty Garden Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy - Buoy Base Galaxy
The Legend of Zelda - Main Theme

For some reason, I just love piano covers of game music

LOL, way to get my hopes up! It's just odd to me how someone can upload incredible pieces that garner hundreds of thousands of views and then just vanish. Rumors suggest he's in prison, but he recently logged into his YouTube page. You'd think he's say something to all the people clamoring for his return.

Super Mario Bros. 2 'Super Buck II' by Estradasphere

Woah, didn't see this thread got bumped today, but yeah S.S.H stuff can be great.

I was so bummed when he made a song called "Barrel Roll" or something but it was an original song and not a Star Fox remix of Corneria theme

Obviously my fave's in the OT

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Classic Sonic games have some great remixes. So does Zelda. I don't remember them specifically.

 

[Octorockin']

Here are two awesome mixes that sprang to mind:

Party in the Snowland (Mario Kart 64)

Wave Race 64 ~rock remix by Ludrium

HERE IT IS OMG

[Poyunch]

I'm not a fan of must unofficial songs but since it's Zelda season due to Skyward Sword's release I might as well break out this awesome Great Fairy remix.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

One of my favorites from, I don't remember when I first heard it.

Final Fantasy IV Zeromus Fight Remix

 

[Nekofrog]

Mega Man 2 - Dr. Wily Stage

There's so much more but that's off the top of my head.

Hey, I made that one. Nice.

Edit:

Monkeys Disarm Their Kremlings (Donkey Kong Country 2 - Crocodile Cacophony)
---Death metal? Okay then. I don't usually listen to death metal, but I really liked this track. Fun lyrics, ends up making the original sound better with the genre change, plus the small bonus part at the end makes great use of the recorder to round out the track.

And this one!

 

[UrbanRats]

I love love love this Nemesis The Warlock remix by O2.
The original, for comparison.

And if covers are also alright, i love this one:
Not Tomorrow, by sosogood.
The original, by Yamaoka.

 

[Dipswitch]

Came across this Xenon II Theme music remix the other day. Thought it was toe tappingly good enough to stick onto my Zune.

 

[Desmond]

From the MGS HD thread

After finishing the game, I played MGS4 as well and then got so heart broken that I finally decided to pour it all on a videogame remix:

'Innocent Deception':




Hope you guys enjoy it! Those incredible vocals are provided by Claire Yaxley.

 

[astroturfing]

Minibosses - Mega Man 2

so good. all the best tunes from MM2... used to listen to this in my (mom's) car all the time back in the day hah.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

Majora's Mask Metal Medley.

Magnificent Musical Masterpiece Makes Marvelous Memories Materialize!

Well this wins the thread. Absolutely stunning.

 

[Phatcorns]

I was never a huge fan of the original song, but this remix is the one of the greatest videogame remixes and just one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

Xenogears - The Wind Calls to Shevat in the Blue Sky - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiAMekAOMwE

Watch until at least 1:20, the song builds up to that point. Trust me. Then orgasm when the music hits that soaring stride at 2:20

 

[Nekofrog]
