And also Journey, for the Playstation 3 has an amazing soundtrack.

And this one strikes a little closer to my heart: Diablo II, Lord of Destruction Harrogath theme:

Since Mario Kart 8 is coming out next week, I've had Mario Kart music of the mind. So I figured I'd share some of my favorites songs.

First off, the Battle Mode theme from Super Mario Kart. The very sound of heated competition.

I'm a big fan of winter in video games. Snow stages are the best! Well... not so much when you're trying to to drive through them. But they still have some great music.

 

Mario Kart 64 - Snow

 

Mario Kart Double Dash - Sherbet Land

 

And lastly, the post-race scoreboard music.

There are definitely some more great Mario Kart songs out there. These are just some of the ones that will always consider my favorites, and I just wanted to share them with you.

 

Super Mario Kart's music was composed by Soyo Oka, Mario Kart 64's music was composed by Kenta Nagata, and Mario Kart Double Dash's music was composed by Shinobu Tanaka and Kenta Nagata

There's a severe lack of Cavia love in this thread. Here, have some amazing Nier music:

Or some badass Drag-on Dragoon 3 music:

Hell, I'd just post the whole OST for these two games if I could.

Classic Megaman X series, has some of my favorite osts ever. Too bad this series had to go down in the garbage though. Also crapcom had to go and ruin Megaman even further by cancelling Mega man Legends 3. I heard the fans were continuing it so I hope they do well.

Major...you know what the hell is up when it comes to good video game music. I may have to bring out the big guns...

heheh thanks. The big guns, eh? Let's see what you've got

 

For starters, this theme (specifically the world 8 lava themed mix) is one of the greatest DKC tracks to ever grace a video game. Tasty licks like this don't come by often:

 

 

In addition, we have it's glorious counterpart:

 

 

These levels were by far the best the game had to offer, and the DKC series (including TF), is and always will be the greatest video game platforming series...no, the greatest video game series itself, in existence.

 

Retro Studios did it right, and old Rareware is still god tier.

I'm a big fan of old-school SNES soundtracks, and I can't help but post Rudora no Hihou's soundtrack whenever I get the chance:

Check out the following tracks especially (they're "bookmarked" in the description):

  • Crime of the Heart
  • Evil Eyes Strange EncounterThe Spirit ChaserThe Flame and the Arrow / Blazing Impact
  • Beyond the Rising Moon Part 1 and 2, which contain a medley of the previously mentioned songs.

 

Also, seconding Dancing Mad:

Overlooked and underrated: Tales of Vesperia's entire OST.

No VN music? aw :( Well 999 nines Shinji Hosoe composed the best video game music in my opinion that made me have chills, feels, and tears! I literally choked up my heart, swallowed it and spit it back out with this dudes soundtrack! Zeros escape included in the choking up my own heart as well...but as this thread does not involve VN *sorry* I'd say Noels Theme from Final fantasy 13-2 got me choked up, poor Noel...:[ And also I LOVE the Shadow of Destiny Ost, gives me unmanly chills each time the Opening starts ^_^ Deep Forest from Avalon code always melts me with feels as well. And lastly God eater burst op theme always gets my heart pounding to kill some Aragami O w O ok I've shared my favs, I probably have more but I dun feel like typing them all >.> hehe

I listen to a lot of video game music and covers, so here are a few of my favorite tracks that I don't think have been posted yet.

 

FFT has always had one of my favorite OSTs : (and I remember many of the gaming magazines I used to read chose it as "Best OST" the year it came out.)

Ys : Oath in Felghana : Valenstein Castle (Falcom has some great soundtracks!)

River City Ransom OST, can't seem to get tired of it :
