Get equipped with the fan-made 'Mega Man 11' OST

2:30 PM on 09.30.2012

No, you didn't miss any surprise announcement of a new Classic Mega Man sequel. Yes, Capcom is just as thick-headed as ever. But a fan can dream, can't he?

Xavier "mv" Dang is a professional game composer who, like all sensible folks, has a soft spot for the little robot boy in blue. With the Mega Man series' 25th anniversary fast approaching, Xavier decided to throw a celebration the best way he knew how -- using FamiTracker, he created an NES-style soundtrack for an fake "Mega Man 11"! He's holding a listening party on his TwitchTV channel, and once that's over, he'll make the album available on his Bandcamp page for free download.

The main OST is 24 tracks (in mp3, FLAC, and even NSF formats) plus five bonus arrangements. For inspiration, he asked the ShowPrime community to suggest the eight Robot Masters. The ultimate picks -- which were then brought to life by various contributing artists -- are appropriately bizarre, such as Worm Man, Card Man, and Egg Man (no, not THAT Eggman). But my favorite is definitely Whip Woman, who is decked out like a dominatrix and reminds me of Linda from Double Dragon.

If you enjoy good chiptunes, do tune in. If you like Mega Man jams, do tune in. If you are sitting in your house on a Sunday afternoon with no plans (like me), what else are you gonna do?

Tony you bring joy to my life on this day.

Jayson Napolitano

Wow, they really went all out. Digging the artwork just as much as the music.

HugsySmooches

They might as well make a full fan-game out of this, now that Capcom doesn't give a shit about Mega Man anymore.

Fuzunga

Hammer Man is amazing.

Bruce Watkinson

Now this is awesome, especially the remixed tracks that are included, such as the rock remix of the Stage Select theme.

WaddleDerp

"Whip Woman". Poison, how did you get here?

UnfathomableResistance

Not really gushing over the majority of the Robot Master designs, but hopefully the final album will be worth a listen or two (especially considering the album will be free).

Tony Ponce

It's available now.

Xavier Dang

Remember when space was the coolest?

The ridiculous Animation Domination YouTube channel puts out a lot of awesome short cartoons. Their latest one is a love letter to the '80s and '90s full of pop culture references, including plenty towards gaming. The chiptune portion of the song was also done by Pete Berkman of Anamanaguchi fame.
