Join Overtime Heroics as we take a look through the game releases that accompanied the PS2's launch in Japan, March 2000.
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
Between the cult King's Field trilogy, the sci-fi weirdness of Armored Core, and the iconic Demon's Souls, there was Eternal Ring. Unfortunately.
This is weird
Like can't you just talk about the game without having elden ring in the title?
Also I don't think they're trying to make up for a 20 year old game that seems to have average reviews for it
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Like many in our fraternity, I too am preparing for the release of Elden Ring: I have linked the Fire across the Lands of Cinder, gone on the 'Hunt', defeated Isshin the Sword Saint, and assayed the role of the Old Monk more times than I care to admit in print. But unlike many of my contemporaries ready to march forward, I decided to take the step backwards for a more holistic viewpoint, to an era when FromSoftware was a virtual non-entity, paying dues and learning the lessons that would help it survive into the post-HD world."
2020. I want Ridge Racer 8!.
I think I only picked up TTT at the PS2 launch.
All I remember was that it sucked, but I played it anyway. Then I unlocked a bowling game and found the REAL reason to play the game.
I didn't get a ps2 on launch, but I managed to snatch one later on in the year. I got Time Splitters and Kessen.
Not a bad way to start the gen.
