Just finished Undertale and realized how much I miss videogamey music. Please recommend games with awesome vg music.

Xenoblade2 has at least 15 KILLER tracks out of like 140 and the rest are just really good. Play that

[Triggerhappytel]

I should finish this game, but my Vita has gone kaput. I think it might be cross-buy with PS4 though. Made it an hour or two in before I got distracted by other games.

 

[Tiny Chihuahueño]

Wow lots of great recommendations already, thank you guys!

I'll go through all of them for sure.

*edit*
Missed the video gamey part, please disregard my dude

For gamey OSTs I really liked Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Cut to 1:38 for my favorite song from that game.

I don't know what pact with the devil Toby Fox made to be so talented but his music is simply out of this world. He would be one of my favorite composers of all time if that was all he did; the fact that he also does everything else is just... I have no words.

Celeste has a great chip-tune soundtrack, and the B-side versions are even better. It's definitely on the slower/lo-fi side compared to Undertale though.

Almost all the Street Fighter games had amazing soundtracks. SF2 being the standard.

Streets of Rage 2 is considered one of the best OSTs of its console generation. "Go Straight" still holds up.

Chrono Trigger is still the greatest of all time for me, though it is a much more orchestrated affair in most instances.

Based on your descriptions I'd say that the soundtrack from the Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up game from a few years ago is what you want. The whole thing was done by Anamanaguchi. Just go listen to "Another Winter" and see if that fits your tastes.

This is OFF-Topic but your profile icon is absolutely hilarious. Please don't ever change it


ON-Topic: I'd say RocketsRocketsRockets has a great OST. Never got tired of it.

 

[low-G]

I also really miss this, OP. I fucking hate video game music trying to be movie music. This shit has been going on for years. It is completely lost on video games. At least hire composers that can write a tune.

XCom 2's DLC expansion on PC added a soundtrack evocative of the original and it definitely scratches that 90's video game music itch.

 

[Miles]

Can't go wrong with Octopath Traveler. Especially with those SPECTACULAR battle transitions.

[Budi]

Can't go wrong with Octopath Traveler.

In this thread you can, as by the OP I assume that's not the type of music they are after. Octopath has orchestral soundtrack, not bleeps and bloops.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Minit OST

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

You can have your pick of any Kirby game that isn't named Squeak Squad, OP. I love those Kirby sounds, particularly Nightmare in Dreamland and Crystal Shards.

 

[Tuxedotank]

Lots of great suggestions here. I'll add Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon as a good NES-style soundtrack.

 

[Sharivan]

One of the best on the NES



Best OST on the Mega Drive/Genesis imho


One of the best Amiga OSTs

 

[JD_Lars]

This is the ringtone on my phone.

 

[SpartyCrunch]

Another vote for Celeste. It sounds great in-game, but load it up on a pair of headphones with good bass and it's just AMAZING

If you have Amazon Prime you can stream it through Prime Music Streaming (b-sides), and it's on Bandcamp here:

If you wanna hear what a lot of Undertale's motifs draw on, you should listen to Touhou music.
Like many series fans, you could just listen to the music and not actually play the games, though I highly recommend checking them out.

 

[Fat4all]

holy shit

Astrobots soundtrack is cool as heck

 

[PettySpirit]

Yup, I miss videogamey music too. Here ya go!







Most of that soundtrack is money.
