Late last year, musician RushJet1 released an incredible “cover playthrough” for Mega Man 3, rearranging the game’s original soundtrack with added stereo and VR6C effects. Now he plans to do so with the original Mega Man. Every week RushJet1 will add a new level theme, which will hopefully culminate in an album release like before. […]

Mega Rock Carnival is one of the newest Mega Man doujin albums to hit the scene. Produced by EtlanZ, who has long been in the game music arrangement scene, it was first released this weekend at the Mega Rock Fan Festa. This two disc album contains 37 tracks by a variety of artists, and representing […]

Maybe Genesisized isn’t really a word, but I hardly care. Since late last year, arranger Based Renegade has been undertaking the awesome task of remixing many if not all of the classic Mega Man soundtracks into Genesis style. And as a chiptune lover, I just can’t get enough. It was hard enough to pick a […]

Rockman Forever by Various When it comes to Mega Man, top notch music is one thing many think of. And that music continues to be arranged by loving fans. In that tradition, here’s another 25th anniversary celebratory album, “Rockman Forever,” by doujin music label Prismatic Music. The album consists of a handful of tunes from […]

Wow, SOUND HOLIC might want to slow down! We might get the whole album out on YouTube before December 19th! Anyway, here is the latest sample for ROCKMAN HOLIC. This is “RELOADED”, an entirely original track, so nothing to get nostalgic to. But if you’re a fan of SOUND HOLIC and doujin themes in general […]

Now here’s an arrangement I can really get behind! Chiptune artist RushJet1 (whose work has been featured on the album Chiptuned Rockman), brings us a chiptune arrangement of Mega Man 3‘s superb soundtrack nine months in the making. But wait, doesn’t MM3 already have chip programmed music? That’s the thing, this arrangement uses Konamis VRC6 […]

Reika Morishita’s arranged versions of “Another Sun” and “Your Wind is Blowing” release digitally back in September. Now, much to her hopes, the Legends commemorative tunes will come out via an actual CD release as well. While Ms. Morishita had hoped for a release to tie in with Mega Man‘s 25th anniversary, issues of cost […]

Here’s another song you can enjoy from the upcoming arranged album ROCKMAN HOLIC. This time it’s an arrangement of Team.Nekocan’s original track that rocketed to amazingly popularity (and can even be played at karaoke): Can’t Beat Air Man. This arrangement features Hanatan behind the vocals, and a bit more of a smooth electronic rock arrangement. […]

It looks like Capcom is sneaking in one more Mega Man arranged album before the year ends. Amazon now has a listing for “We are ROCK-MEN! 2”, set to come out in Japan on December 19th for ¥2100 (roughly $27 US). Just two days after the 25th anniversary. The previous We are ROCK-MEN! album featured […]

Then sound got loud with the Japan release of Powerglove’s Video Game Metal. But recently things have mellowed again, with the release of Tariki Echo’s Fami Reggae. As you would […]
