One of my favorite comic book video game bits of music was the title theme of the Genesis X-Men game. It will always be my X-Men anthem.
ReplyDeletemanga *is* the japanese word for "comic books". there are also x-men comics in japan, drawn by japanese artists and written in japanese!
ReplyDeleteManga is as has already been said comic books. The only real difference beyond languages is really that Japanese comics range a wide variety of genres as while most US comics are of the Superhero genre only.
ReplyDeleteAwesome episode you guys! You really brought it this time. I really enjoyed the Arcade's Revenge and the Silver Surfer tracks.
ReplyDeleteThat Spider-Man title screen music is totally an arrangement of the old cartoon theme song.

Yes...that's why they said so in the episode.
DeleteTo be fair, we did say that the track seemed inspired from the original theme song, but in actuality, Todd's right, it's not an inspired by track -it very much IS an arrangement of the original.
DeleteI like Brent's taste in music. When I saw the theme for this episode immediately came to mind the theme of beast and anything from Kodaka's batman and to my surprise he played both.
ReplyDeleteSuperman NES and Silver Surfer NES have such great music but I can't stand to play those 2 games...
ReplyDeleteVery refreshing to see Brent include a game based on a manga so we didn't have an entire episode dedicated only to American superhero comics! That DBZ track was a nice surprise.
ReplyDeleteAmerican comics are certainly not the only comic books, and not even the best comic books to be honest. I've never cared about American super hero comics, but manga is fantastic and, in my experience, tends to tell far more interesting and original stories (and much longer, epic ones at that, while American comics don't tend to have a single continuing story for decades on end the way manga often does). Manga absolutely deserves the same respect as American comics, if not MORE respect. Serialized manga authors have to draw and write an entire chapter per week, which is an absolutely immense amount of work. Manga author/artists are incredibly hardworking and talented.
Thank you for playing the entirety of that Spider-Man/X-Men track. For those of us who have never heard these tracks, I feel cheated when you don't let us hear the entire thing. It was such an interesting track with a lot of varying movements and I would have been upset if you'd cut it off early. That track was a treat, so I appreciate you letting it play out.
You'll be pleased to know you have these to look forward to:
