CFD!'s Nate Andrews takes a look at the chiptune stylings of Anamanaguchi and more in this week's Soundtrack Spotlight:
"(Soundtrack Spotlight is a weekly CFD! feature devoted to all things VGM. Every week we celebrate the best in game music, highlight new releases and forgotten tracks, and bring you the best in auditory awesomeness.)
"It’s hard to believe that, despite having been released some two months ago now, I haven’t touched upon this soundtrack at all. I am a bad, bad person, and I sincerely apologize for my lack of punctuality.
"That said, this is actually a prudent opportunity to talk a little about Anamanaguchi, the New York-based chiptune/rock band responsible for the pulsing, swirling, nostalgia-inducing tunes found in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game."
From Xfire: "You'd think that there would be more good comic book video games (outside of the obvious superhero ones) released over the years, but the truth is, they are quite rare. Thankfully, a growing number of studios are tapping into this valuable resource to bring audiences the best comic book video games."
Re-releasing Scott Pilgrim vs The World doesn't fix things quite that easily.
"But because of some absolute scumbags at the top, I can’t in good conscience even think about giving this company a dollar at the moment. It would be like if Konami suddenly announced that PT and Silent Hills was coming back that would be great, but you also have to wonder what made them changed their mind."
You really did not have much to go on, but that just exposed how out of touch, fan news driven and un-industry you are. I get that you think that your heros can do no wrong and all, but get back to gaming kiddo. Squeak on.
Meanwhile, they are looking for contributors to deliver more of this. :/
'Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game' Remaster Coming From Ubisoft.
I had this on PS3. Absolutely a treasure and all the homages to retro gaming was brilliantly executed. If you want a beat ‘em up that feels a bit like Shovel Knight in its retro love and a River City Rampage RPG, this is for you.
Its a rarity when a Movie and its game land so well. Enjoyed both of these immensely
I never saw the movie or played the game. I feel so left out but Im glad this is coming back so I can finally play it. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I still need to see the movie though.
Literally played through and 100%'d River City Girls and literally said to myself, they really need to rerelease Scott Pilgrim or I'm pulling out my PS3 again with it on it. IMO the best beat em up I've ever played. So happy, I legit may buy on switch, ps4 and PC
Probably the best game Ubisoft released for the past decade. The only digital game I've ever pre-ordered with no regrets. Fantastic game, not sure if I'll buy it again since I have my PS3 readily available.
If you enjoyed Turtles in Time, or Streets of Rage in the past, then don't let this game pass you by!
The movie is directed by Edgar Wright (Cornetto trilogy) and is quirky and great fun.
The game is also great retro fun and has been unavailable for years as it was delisted from the PS3 store. Will definitely pick it up for PS4.
Is it odd that I never watched the movie, and read a bit of the first volume of the graphic novel and found it kind of boring, but love the game? I still have this on my PS3 actually. I never did get the DLC though so I'm glad this is happening. Now I just have to decide if I want it on my PS4 or Switch.
I love the music in Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Good stuff.
I had my beef with this game, but god damn if the soundtrack wasn't awesome!
I still haven't sampled Metroid Metal yet - I probably should...
I love this soundtrack. I listen to it daily.
Love this feature. Looks like it's going to be my main source for game music recommendations now that 1up's The Soundtest is dead... :(
