Neo Geo games with the best CD music?

[bulbousbeard]

I've started hacking MAME to play FLAC versions of the Neo Geo CD music when it'd normally play the Yamaha 2610 music.

Which Neo Geo CD games do you think have the best soundtracks? I'm doing Samurai Shodown II first, but I'm not sure which one to do after that.

Off topic, but earlier this week I made music from the Sega CD version play with the arcade Final Fight.

Fatal Fury Special has excellent arranged tracks.

 

[Ip Man]

kof 96 sounds really good on cd.

 

[Yagyu Jubei]

95 is great too

 

[K-2]

Sam Sho 1, also Last Blades

 

[Ip Man]

most certainly.

Wow, that Final Fight is amazing!

Awesome man! I love that soundtrack.

this is a nice project! I'd love to play the Last Blade 1&2 with the CD soundtrack sometime...

Viewpoint clearly is on top.

Art of Fighting 2 arrange OST is what you want

Fatal Fury Special has excellent arranged tracks.

Indeed. Just a shame that every single piece of it sounds better on cart than CD ^^

The PCE version has a better AST than the NGCD one.

i love the sega saturn music of the neo geo ports.specially fatal fury 3 and kof 96.

Turf Masters is neatly redone on CD. I like them both though, a fine NAZCA effort.

I'm pretty sure the Saturn music is the same as the Neo CD, but it's been a long time since I played the Saturn ports.

The most memorable soundtracks are games that have been mentioned, RBS is probably the single best, I also love regular Real Bout, FF Special and 3, and the Last Blade Games. Samurai Shodown had nicely done arrangements as well, but I prefer the cart versions of those games.

i must confess that i have never played a neo geo cd console/game before.it makes sense that the saturn would use the neo cd music for it's ports.in that case i'll check some of these games.

I remember reading somewhere that Magician Lord on Neo CD has more music or something compared to the cartridge formats.

I can't seem to find any info on that, but I do have a NGCD copy of it.

KoF 99-World War 3 (ikari theme)

 

[Ip Man]

KoF 99-World War 3 (ikari theme)

that tune has got to be one of the most metal neo tracks ever.

The 1st time I heard it, I got so hype. Like, pre fighting-game community co-opting the word hype, HYPE. Flavor Flav levels of hype.

I was ready to rob a bank.
