I'm with you on that. They are fantastic, and it goes to show there are some people out there in Sega's employ that actually KNOW how to make retro music that sounds like it could have come from the old hardware. (...Unlike a certain gentleman on Sonic Team who shall remain nameless that prefers to use faux-chiptune synth instruments that sound like strangled cats.) I'm seriously digging the laid back, funky track on the Streets Of Rage 1 menu - There may be only one Yuzo Koshiro, but whoever did this track... I doff my cap.
Guys!! GUYS! I found a Youtube account that has the main menu themes: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMythofRenegade Kudos to Yuzoboy for the find! Those SOR remixes are awesome! EDIT: Should have thought so, this is Renegade's 3rd account!
So why do I have to change the display mode to 16:9 in the console's configuration and then select 4:3 aspect inside the game in order to get a full screen display on 4:3 TVs? And that must be done for each game in all these new Vintage Collections. What the hell, M2. What the fucking hell. Anyway... In other news, any Monster World fans should read this interview with Nishizawa. Turns out the English translation in the Vintage Collection's Monster Land arcade was indeed made back in the day, and somebody found the old scrapped version in a SEGA warehouse! And he wants to make a new Monster World title! In 3D, though... Also, he has recently found the source to Westone's unreleased arcade Tokei Jikake no Aquario, and he seems to be interested in knowing if fans would be interested in playing it as another SEGA Vintage title. I guess it wouldn't hurt "Liking" the official Monster World Facebook fan page, which has just published an old design for the scrapped male player for Monster World IV, by the way.
