Classic Mega Man Soundtracks Get 10-Volume Digital Release
Sumthing Else Music Works has announced a 10-volume collection of Mega Man soundtracks from the Blue Bomber’s adventures. The first four volumes are available now, with the remainder rolling out two at a time over the coming months.
The albums include selected tracks from the PlayStation 2 anniversary collection. Each costs $9.99 and is available directly from Sumthing Else’s website, Amazon, iTunes, and other digital distribution services.
For more Mega Man music, you can check out an OC Remix collection celebrating the series’ 25th anniversary. It can also be purchased digitally for $10 from a variety of digital distribution outlets.
You can also hear composer Manami Matsumae’s work in the upcoming spiritual successor to Mega Man, Comcept’s Kickstarted Mighty No. 9. She’s also behind two of the tracks on the Shovel Knight soundtrack and has recently been involved in a collaboration of Eastern and Western composers.
(Note: A clarification was added to Matusmae's role in the Shovel Knight soundtrack, clearly identifying that she worked on two of the tracks. Jake Kaufman was behind the majority of the music heard in that game.)
Our Take
This collection takes me back, as Mega Man 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I could stand to replay it again, especially since I can blast through it in a few hours time.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
