The entire original MMX soundtrack was one of the greatest achievements in video game history. Any Top 20 list should probably just give X1 its own category.
VampireYoshi On another note, this is subjective. I could say that for every other X game as well. Every X game has a great soundtrack (yeah, I said that X7 has good soundtrack and there's nothing you'll do about it). Edit: Well, not every X game (*coughs* X4 *coughs*).
mmx zero theme was far better than his x3 theme. mmx3 kaiser sigma and x2 sigma virus should be on the list. wheel gator theme was better than morph moth's
TOXIC MADAFAKING SEAHORSE STAGE >=( That's an underrated one! Seriously, it deserves a place =< Except that, MMX musics are GREAT!! I love the style of the OSTs of MMX 1, 2 and 3. And even after (though it changes style) it's still awesome (X4 *-*)!
The music in the first mega man x game just had me hooked the first time I just saw it being played when I was young, I especially loved boomer kuwanger's theme with the highway stage as a close second and chill penguin at third. Even to this day as i play the game on my tablet these theme songs still give me a good feeling inside (ah the nostalgia) video game music use to mean something back then. It was a key to reminding you what type of game you were playing. It set the tone so beautifully or it helped enhance the current situation your character was in. Kind of ironic that with all the advancements in current video gaming that this 'art form' was slightly lost. I could barely think of a few games that still make use of a good supporting soundtrack.
Riding that cart on Armored Armadillo stage with the frame lag must be some of the most epic video game moments ever, I still remember the first time I saw that, then played it. Only nowadays I've heard people complain about that it lags there, but I always thought it was cool when all the stuff came on the screen and you were jumping and shooting like crazy in slow motion. It wouldn't surprise me if the developers realized that and intentionally made it that way.
I agree, it was pretty badass as a kid playin this with the hyped up music and slow motion. I would scream Ooooooooohhhh at this part while X-busting the shit outta everything. I still do ^_^
The first Mega Man X had the best stage music. The cast roll call music is also probably one of the finest pieces of music on any game, ever. Great video by the way.
IBroLLyI ISephirothI Opinionated list. Personally, I think he could've put a few themes here, Toxic Seahorse being the first one that comes to mind. It was still a great list though
exactly wtf was this dude thinking the hardest to play period and I do play is AS stage but if that's didn't stage 1st sigma stage 1 should have from X in my opinion MMX has the best soundtrack of any game ever made every single track is a master P
Yeah, I remember as a kid thinking how pumped that song got me (and so many others) once it got like 20 seconds in.. Considering he was one of the last bosses I always did, it felt more epic :P
Glad to see some love for Armored Armadillo, that one was always one of my favourites! Really enjoyed this list, thank you very much. The X series is awesome and the soundtracks are simply incredible.
I agree with your feelings about this series. I actually first started playing games on the SNES when I was 4, and it was my addiction to the Megaman X series that fueled my budding passion. That was over 17 years ago, but I still treasure my collection version for the Gamecube since I was never allowed to own the actual SNES cartridges.
Storm Eagle was, IIRC, the first Maverick I chose when I rented the game so long ago, and the music intro was an immediate "everything just got REAL" moment--that affected me for life. :D So, for the first three games: #1: Storm Eagle (X) #2: Armored Armadillo (X) #3: Zero's Theme (X3) #4: Variable X (X)--Don't know it? Search it up, and let the feels in. #5: X-Hunters Stage 1 (X2) Just Missed Top 5 (no order) -- Boomer Kuwanger, Spark Mandrill, Bubble Crab (fun fact: theme was re-used in X5--Duff McWhalen's stage), Gravity Beetle
***** What ever your opinion is... make a video and link me up :) love to see new top 5-10-50 lists, even if I dont agree I know there will be good tunes, and maybe find a new 1 or 2 that I like :)
Justin Miller For the record, I think the "Are you high?" comment was responding to the "no Dr. Wily theme" thing. Wily and Light aren't alive in X's time; this is established in the story of the first game. From the intro: "...30 years will be required (to) safely confirm (X's) reliability. Unfortunately I [Dr. Light] will not live to see that day, nor do I have (an apprentice)." While nothing SAYS Wily is gone, it can be assumed with reasonable safety and certainty.
Come on, guys. He said this is just his opinion and taste. Everyone has his own. The truth is Mega Man X series has great music for different tastes. Personally, I liked MMX2 soundtracks the least, but I think they're still good. I would add Flame Mammoth and Toxic Seahorse, definitely. I think my top 5 would be: 1. Spark Mandrill 2. Flame Mammoth 3. Toxic Seahorse 4. Gravity Beetle 5. Sting Chameleon
As you said is relative to each person. I played MMX2, then MMX3 and the one I least played is MMX1. In relation to the soundtracks those are also my preferences.
X3 definitely had the best songs out of the X, X2, and X3 games. Everything from the intro to most of the bosses the sigma stages, and who could ever forget the song when zero comes back!!! Epic!!!
Spark Mandril and Storm Eagle not in the top 3 :(? Why! they are one of the most gosebumping themes in the whole X series. I still miss Zero's dead theme and Sigma Stage 1 but well, it's your ranking so i respect it
I am 15 and i love the mega man series I play it on emulators cause I am broke but I love the series I glad I joined it kinda wish I was born in the 90s
Oh my god this comment section is carcinogenic. It's great that you all have your opinions, but don't force them on him or anyone else. If you want to say what "should" or is "required" to be in a certain spot, then make your own list. Simple as that.
X3 Zero's theme is a great song. I can remember my first time playing X3 when Zero appears suddenly to save X. I said "wowww I'm controlling Zero!! " Good times.
Great description and awesome video! Showing a normal player (compared to the addicted's ones) playing the stages as the soundtrack goes added a lot to the experience. (I won't discuss about the music's choice nor its order. That's pointless.)
3:30 god i remember ripping out the controller and swinging it around like a rodeo lasso and flinging it across the room cause of those closing fucking walls!!
MMX and X4 is my favourite since those are the ones I owned first and beaten when I was a lot younger. I got around to playing the other X series and they were great but X and X4 will always have my vote first :P
As much as I loved the music in X2 and X3, I have to agree. There was a lot more passion poured into the first game as a whole by everyone involved. To this day it's one of the most well made and polished games I've ever played.
THE moment you put Storm Eagle's theme at #6 was the moment your list was just invalidated for life. Unreal man. I would normally put a spoiler before I ruin a result from someone's list but you screwed up so badly on that one that I'd like to save some of those with the same thought from having to have their expectations as high as mine were. Unbelievable.
I like how everyone says: "My childhood :,D" I am 15 years old, watch this in 2015 and I fricking love it :D (Megaman X and Megaman Musik are awesome too :D) I think when my friends would know that I love Snes, Nes, and the other old gaming music they would think I am stupid and should listen to the modern disko musik xD (Nothing against Diskomusic ^^)
They might make some good games now a days but they certainly lack where old school still has it rocking to this day. I grew up with these games and still remember everything about them, blessing and a curse. In X1 the heart tank in AA stage was always a pain for my friends and brother without the flame cannon or consistent charge shots. All I has to do was one charge and then mash that fire button to the point it'd almost catch fire and that rock crushed was done before we got near the heart. Added dash shots later and beat it as fast as they would with the flame cannon lol course nothing beat a hadoken 😁😎 its nice to know that these games still attract people that weren't even around when they were released and their replay value is still rather high. You just can't walkthrough today's games like ya used to plus we had to take pics, develop the film-unless a Polaroid- just to show we had beaten them. Most of their predecessors didn't have passwords or save features incorporated and that made games like blaster master, contra, life force, etc always a one time run to a win or defeat. Now people wanna speed run which is nice and all but how about getting 100% completion and mastering the game? Super Metroid is definitely one that is kinda hard to do without hours of searching prior to guides and internet. There's a sense of satisfaction when you can tell a developer that I mastered your challenge, what's next?
+krystoffer that was what it used to mean to be a gamer. Learning ALL of the secrets, and THEN speed running at as close to 💯 as possible! Wish I had this time these days. I'd thrash me some Mega Man or Super Metroid. Best I ever got in SM was 98% with less than 90 minutes.
Hear the ost of adventure of batman and robin on genesis. Made by jesper kyd the guy who make the music for assasin creed the best retro music of all time.
sem dúvidas brother, direto venho aqui no youtube ouvir a trilha sonora desses jogos que fizeram parte da minha infância, não somente mega man como tantos outros jogos fantásticos no snes e nes
@@dmas7749 Besides G.Beetle the maverick tracks are pretty lacklustre with the same guitar tone everytime. The op stage is one of the few that deviates from the repetitiveness of X3s soundtrack.
i thoroughly enjoy most of the songs you selected as your top 20 tracks. although i thought the top 3 were kind of eh. somebody commented here he/she would add flame mammoth to the list and i agree. At 11:00 minute of your video, i didn't know you can stand on the light thing and it will slide you through the next spot. i learned something new almost everyday.
