"Heroes vs. Villains," the 22nd album from OverClocked ReMix dropped this past week and is an epic clash between OC ReMixers and The Bad Dudes. The album is made up of 20 songs where the OC ReMixers took on the "Hero" themes such as Zelda, Ryu and Samus while The Bad Dudes did the cover jams for the Villain themes such as Ganon, Sagat and Mother Brain. Here's the full breakdown:
Samus vs. Mother Brain
Mega Man vs. Dr. Wily
Link vs. Ganon
Ryu vs. Sagat
Axel vs. Mr. X
Kirby vs. King Dedede
Simon Belmont vs. Dracula
Kratos vs. Zeus
Guybrush Threepwood vs. LeChuck
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Shredder
The album is free to download and comes in both MP3 and delicious FLAC versions. There's something for everyone here and you seriously won't be disappointed. Check out the official page for more details on the project plus to see who all worked on this awesome project.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I've been listening to this nonstop since I downloaded it yesterday and I can say, without a doubt, this album is FANTASTIC. Plus, the "Samus" remix makes any task feel super, super important.
Hey, love the album? Dig the art? Grab a poster-print from me! http://randalldrew.com for the scoop! Thanks to OCR and the Bad Dudes for bringing me on (especially Mazedude) and thanks Destructoid for covering this awesome colab!
Listened to 3\4 of the album so far. Badass. It's a must d\l for any fan of mentioned games. I love the guys at OCremix. Been a big fan for quite a few years. Their work just keeps on getting better and better. SOME GAME COMPANY HIRE THESE PEOPLE DAMNIT!
Wow, thanks for putting this up. The music is fantastic--listening through the FFX album now, and already have a few others downloaded. Props to them, and Hamza for bringing the site to my attention.
Some songs were a real hit and miss. When I come to OCRemix I want to feel that nostalgia again, so bad that it makes me whip out that game and the console it's on. Some of these with lyrics meh, but thank the gaming gods there are people with common sense. Still the overall thing was bearable and a good listen.
Interesting turn with Mustin there, even more interesting that he chose Simon's theme as opposed to the way too overplayed Vampire Killer.
Whole album is pretty much boss, I'm not a fan of god of war, so I can't dig those as much. Never played monkey Island but I'm deffo a fan of the music now.

No Ryu vs Akuma?
Still, I want this.
Although the lack of a Sonic vs Robotnik is one.
Mein Gott...

Also Sagat vs Ryu is absolutely where it's at.
