You wanna talk about what I believe to be the most overrated theme in video game music history? Its definitely Mega Man 2's Wily stage. While catchy, I just don't see it as the end all be all Wily Stage theme. In fact, there are so many other overlooked themes that don't get the credit they deserve because everyone and their mother's lover are over this theme like white on snow. Example: The Original Offender compared with.... How could you not love the jazzy evilness?! Really? Better than Dr. Cossack's second stage? EDIT: I broke up all the videos so you can click them if you'd like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=juyogUMglZgProto Man's stage. COME ON! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtoQG2kdlYcWily's stage from MM5 deserves another mention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR6tz8M8KboYeah...I can understand people thinking that MM2 has the edge on this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z5oi3vWXlwAs a Youtube user comment's says "This song RAPES MM2's Wily 1." I'm inclined to agree. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrAVfupdzJMOkay, not necessarily better, but man this is hot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_UPDQYsGGQ Yeah, this one is easily better than than MM2 in my opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJR7eLyj8rY Does anything come even close to MM10's? To me, this is the end all be all. I mean Come on! |

This and the Ducktales Moon stage. They're good songs, but my god have they been whored out.

You may have to remove about half of the videos in your post, 10 is way too much per post.

While I agree that it's overplayed/remixed/covered, I think it's better than all those songs except Mega Man 9's Wily song.
I'm more partial to this:

As a Mega Man fanboy, let me say to those who don't like that track...
[glow=red,2,300]DAMN YOU!
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!![/glow]
... OK, not really. But, I strongly disagree with you.

Um....it's not overrated if so many people like it but hey everyone's opinion is different. I personally love the song and yes, i've heard all the songs you've posted before as I've beaten Mega Man 1-10.
PS-8 sucks. "What part?" Everything, EVERYTHING about 8 sucks.

Well, I mean its the most overexposed video game song ever. I don't think there's anything that gets remixed, retouched, remastered, reanything more than that song, save for level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. I apologize for my use of the word overrated, because I'm clearly speaking from a solely opinion based standpoint. But having beaten all Mega Man's 1-10, I personally see nothing special about Mega Man 2's Wily Stage. Different strokes for different folks.
And I know I didn't include Mega Man's Wily stage in here because I felt it paled in comparison to 2.

Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3 is another very overexposed one, but it is an awesome song, so it's a little more acceptable.

I think it gets overplayed, but it lives up to the hype.

I don't have as much nostalgia for MegaMan 2 as some of the other games in the series, but Wily stage 1 from that game trumps anything else.
Nothing in the series really grabbed me, music-wise, after 6.

A big reason that Mega Man 2 Wily Stage theme became somewhat memetic/popular is because of the Japanese "Okkusenman!" song that was derived from it.

I'm more annoyed at how pretty much every time someone decides to do a remix of a video game song their mind process is "Well I want to do a remix of this song. Got to get my electric guitar!"
And as a result we end up with every remotely decent video game song having no less than 50 nearly identical guitar remixes and they usually make up 99 or 100% of the remixes for that song. Boring.
For that reason I'm happy any time I see a non electric guitar remix even if it's horrible and makes my ears bleed. At least they tried something different.
