History AwesomeMusic / Capcom

* The 2009 remake of ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'':

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ridZISF1drI "More Than Words"]]. Played during TearJerker moments, and works in synch with them brilliantly.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEv6VbF_YM "On The Honored Day"]] (also known as "Memories"), the theme of the dragon that saved the hero's hometown before the story began. Despite being repetitive, it's still incredibly beautiful. It's later replaced with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xw1BMzR5Yc "Daybreak"]] once the dragon sacrifices itself to let your party enter [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Infinity]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-NO3XH_SqY "White Wings"]]. It's such a beautiful theme that it still sounds beautiful even on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X6mDfe-iQk the Mario Paint version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8sU0FGmqRc "God of Decadence"]]. It's a good thing that ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'' was faithfully translated, as this theme could not represent the BigBad (actually, his Dragon) and founder of [[PathOfInspiration the church]] any more perfectly.
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS0ocuYf2r8 "Dying Corpse"]]. So epic, it's hard to believe that this music was used as ''the standard battle theme''. The second one, to be more precise. Though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxt-d3iZaTU "Cross Counter"]], the first battle theme, is pretty awesome too.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT-I5qpMfew "Tunlan"]] is gorgeous. Its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EfYez1cP4w predecessor]] isn't half bad, either.
* From ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDIH4TAb8Us Everyday Battle]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJeIYvQ0Bb8 The Champion]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7DwbXX2pE Alan and Cerl]], and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZnrqEsyI74 Ending Theme]].
* From ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVVPn4WiNw Even Towards Death, Valiantly]] which plays during three plot critical boss fights.
* ''Strider'' had quite a few good tunes, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP8GubVdSac "Grandmaster"]] wipes the floor with the rest of them. Very suitably epic final boss theme.
* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools: United By Fate'' already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hqDynXRag4 We'll Protect Our School!]]". But when the game was ported to the [=PlayStation=], it sported an additional animated intro with an even better theme in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csqx8Vmo-7Q Atsui Kodou]]."

** The series has some great [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OimG8UOfXoE boss themes]]. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oH1v1B9Htg Wesker's theme]] from ''Resident Evil 5''.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''[='=]s theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the Bomber Bay to fight Wesker, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ywyZHhunA Majini IX -In Flames]], you're running through the burning engine room of an oil tanker sized ship, zombies, zombies with guns, zombies with ROCKET LAUNCHERS all around you, trying to get through two sealed blast doors and a shitton of enemy resistance to get to your goal. The whole damn place is going up in flames and explosions, and THIS is what you rock out to? Yes.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx69Gj8g1s0 El Gigante]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iVrRcAoAQQ Mendez]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSt2ZQSpDz8 Salazar]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Iz2oqPFmI Krauser]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUPmQJCqPaw Saddler]]'s boss themes from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' are awesome as well as creepy. Ditto for the ambient soundtracks, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uyBy8_QeMU "A Ruined Village",]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhdzNj9Ja_k "Noche",]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUNG1H6y0ko "Cold Sweat",]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS8DWlbaRZM "Novistadors",]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vudU0Xslau4 "Regeneradors"]].

** Most of the boss music. Key examples are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlSKbTOiqnw "Smoking Roll"]], Elvis's theme, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7izuEcqKjY "Devil May Sly"]], the fight music for [[EvilCounterpart Azel]].
** Even the minibosses have awesome music. Behold, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMu47X9e-VM "Sunset Heroes"]], the theme of the Mad Midget Five.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAga2AjfZlg The ending credits]]. It's literally a song about how awesome the main character is, and how much ass he kicks. And he kicks a lot of ass.
** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z86E0rxsONA Shannon's theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53F7IFUot6g The God Hand's theme itself]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjovDP4GvT4 Yet... Oh See Mind]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-3x-gejuE Another Joe's Theme]], played during the boss fight against Joe's ''{{Doppelganger}}''. Appropriately, it's a BossRemix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5PLEPD_tOc Joe's theme]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o7iGWLHQB0 Viewtiful World]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbkFeVQgvo0 Blue the True Hero]]. It's a remix of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IicZebSIvQ8 same song you've heard several times beforehand]], but cranked up because this fight is ''for real''.
** Not to be beaten, Dark Hero Jet Black in ''Viewtiful Joe 2'' had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu93_tjV-PE True Heroes]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv0z7V5aK9A Big John]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqOXrb6Xb4 Frost Tiger]] also had pretty awesome boss themes. And of course, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azvG9rdH14c Blade Master]], a theme so great that it made an encore appearance in two games (''Viewtiful Joe 2'' and ''Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble'') and was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzmN5Kaiasc rearranged]] in the second for Joe and Silvia's fight with Alastor's Underworld Emperor form.
** Before revealing his actual identity, the Black Emperor fights Joe and Silvia in outer space. The boss theme is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeCh-WMpsZI amazingly fitting]] for 'the greatest show in the universe!'
* ''VideoGame/LostPlanet: Extreme Condition'' had some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCximJUOm4o pretty epic music]].

** The final scene, when Spencer headbutts Super Joe through the cockpit of his mech, makes it explode and falls into the hole - the song is titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKf1UuDmmps "Beyond Dark Skies"]].
** ''VideoGame/BionicCommando: Rearmed''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1r7TrYZwJ0 intro screen's]] astonishingly catchy beat.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1igNzXHTzBE main theme]] of the 2009 ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' is just as awesome with its military/epic tone.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qwqV_5p9_I The epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Yeah, for someone who evolves from a BrattyHalfPint JamesBondage into a badass fist-fighting unifier, it's befitting that he got a kickass theme in return.
** Kuroda Kanbe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5JkDUBXWCU has a pretty rocking theme for a guy with little luck]].
** And then, there's the incredible theme of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AjzMpNFOGc Osaka - Winter Siege]] stage.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRGbov-46fY Keiji's theme ladies and gents.]] People have actually challenged him first so that his song keeps playing before Kenshin shows up.
* The soundtrack for ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'' is mostly mediocre overall, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJjiz6WsBI "For Metro City"]] is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in a short section of the first level. Meanwhile, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ktjH8eSAO8 "Law and Disorder"]] is the ultimate beat-em-up tune. If the streets were to take a musical form, they would be this.

** Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6xMvGbwT7I Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead]]), Detective Jowd's ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxzU3wRZxcM Detective Jowd ~ A Captive of Fate]]), 4 Minutes Before Death ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YROofZCpC1w Moderate]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wne7_Lld-Zw Allegro]]), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBmF0DAZ1Q Trauma]] (which would have been better named "Investigation ~ Core 2010) and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovGygYv36S0 Memory]] theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnTgeO_LOQ Chained Past]] solidly conveys the fact that you're really starting to dive deep into the dark history that set the game's events into motion. It might as well be Yomiel's unofficial theme music.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFXOJ1mkKtI The Last Desperate Struggle]] gets a special mention, because it stands out among the soundtrack for giving a solid, tense atmosphere, and truly does give a feeling that the finale is just around the corner.
** Also, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3khsva6E8 Main Theme]] and extended version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYcbNnFz378 Epilogue ~ The End of the Night]].

** A good example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTNfuztCMgM End Of The Struggle]], which plays when you strike a boss with its major weakness.
** Another example is the (former) title theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jTeHzzefS4 Into Free -Dragon-]]", even if it was also a perfect example of SoundtrackDissonance. Sadly, the song was removed for the ''Dark Arisen'' expansion.

** The best ones from the first game include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbH-DeCkWA Zelkin's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lC4psJzkI Rimgal's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8egAKc7zY Gore's stage]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwudPUZXA3I Bilstein's stage]]. Special mention should go to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZTO8mA4CA Special Stage]], for its own awesome music literally screams FinalBattle when fighting against Ghost Bilstein.
** The sequel, ''Plasma Sword'', has its own decent line-up of musical hits, which includes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD663dHELog "Illusion of Peace"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqda6r-Q2dQ "Fade to Silence"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2916XDQ3ldc "Holy Graveyard"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH2cMfHtRng "Fate of the Glory"]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i9l5_1MmB4 classic theme]] from ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', a theme that sounds like [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Death. Constant, meaningless Death]]. Speaking of which, the awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG01rPyfzCg remix]] from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

** And then there is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAga2AjfZlg credits]] song.

* ''AwesomeMusic/Okami''

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'':
** For starters, there's the ending theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpuGNH75pUc Reset]]" and ThemeMusicPowerUp "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxK58tPU4I The Sun Rises]]". (The latter even also shows up in ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' at the exact same moment that it would play in the original game)
** The aforementioned "Rising Sun" is Crowning Music of Awesome as the trope was originally defined. Just, ''wow.''
** There is no shame in admitting that you like to run around [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wif3MEdRaPA Shinshu Field]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1YRu2pqK3g Ryoshima Coast]] just to hear the music.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo3oV7ncQfo Susano's theme]] when he shows up at the Moon Cave also qualifies.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imjtRgkqA6w Kamiki Festival]]", played at the end of the game's first act, is absolutely ''beautiful''.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcBg_1qF0cA Orca's Theme]]". Enough said.
** The music for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnkRXulE6k Crimson Helm]] bossfight is an adrenaline rush all by itself, and is absolutely ''perfect'' for the battle. Likewise, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ph973FrkUs Waka's Promenade]]" mixes in the eponymous character's {{Leitmotif}} for a song that's twice as awesome. As for different boss music, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QxCn7p6nSY this song]], the theme for one of the most memorable DualBoss battles in all of gaming.
** The Final Boss theme is pretty cool too, sounding pretty frightening. One Website/{{Youtube}} comment described it perfectly: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XugG82XlAOw Pure evil in music form]]''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PybO_yUoQX4 Reset (Thank You)]] is a really nice instrumental version of the game's ending theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAkD39BjOq8 Demon Lord Ninetails Extermination]].
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krRNUVgl0dE Okami Shiranui]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUXtd3gRwos Wep'keer]] for that matter.
** Not all the awesome songs are epic battles or victory themes, we also have amazing background music in Sei-an City: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oaBaIYH568 Commoners' Quarter]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL3dYnhINOM Aristocratic Quarter]]
** From ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOjKz8HaCqc Yakushi Village]] is just beautiful, especially in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE5Zusp-DjE Limited Edition arrangement.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnhJwzQl4rI Stirring,]] on the other hand, is simply very, very epic.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ffKGKqyhs Great Divine Intervention]] is quite simply one of the most beautiful and inspiring pieces of VGM, ever. The fact that it plays during restorations, the game's best SceneryPorn moments, makes it even mbetter

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEv6VbF_YM "On The Honored Day"]] (also known as "Memories"), the theme of the dragon that saved the hero's hometown before the story began. Despite being repetitive, it's still incredibly beautiful. It's later replaced with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xw1BMzR5Yc "Daybreak"]] once [[spoiler: the dragon sacrifices itself to let your party enter [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Infinity]].]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8sU0FGmqRc "God of Decadence"]]. It's a good thing that ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'' was faithfully translated, as this theme could not represent the BigBad [[spoiler: (actually, his Dragon)]] and founder of [[PathOfInspiration the church]] any more perfectly.

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''[='=]s theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the [[spoiler:Bomber Bay to fight Wesker]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ywyZHhunA Majini IX -In Flames]], you're running through the burning engine room of an oil tanker sized ship, zombies, zombies with guns, zombies with ROCKET LAUNCHERS all around you, trying to get through two sealed blast doors and a shitton of enemy resistance to get to your goal. The whole damn place is going up in flames and explosions, and THIS is what you rock out to? Yes.

** The final scene, when [[spoiler:Spencer headbutts Super Joe through the cockpit of his mech, makes it explode and falls into the hole]] - the song is titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKf1UuDmmps "Beyond Dark Skies"]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnTgeO_LOQ Chained Past]] solidly conveys the fact that you're really starting to dive deep into the dark history that set the game's events into motion. It might as well be [[spoiler:Yomiel's]] unofficial theme music.

** The best ones from the first game include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbH-DeCkWA Zelkin's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lC4psJzkI Rimgal's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8egAKc7zY Gore's stage]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwudPUZXA3I Bilstein's stage]]. Special mention should go to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZTO8mA4CA Special Stage]], for its own awesome music literally screams FinalBattle when fighting against [[spoiler:Ghost]] Bilstein.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbkFeVQgvo0 Blue the True Hero]]. It's a remix of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IicZebSIvQ8 same song you've heard several times beforehand]], but cranked UpToEleven because this fight is ''for real''.

* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools: United By Fate'' already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hqDynXRag4 We'll Protect Our School!]]". But when the game was ported to the [=PlayStation=], it sported an additional animated intro with an even better theme in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csqx8Vmo-7Q Atsuki Kodou]]."

* ''AwesomeMusic/CapcomVsWhatever''

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmUpIuHqmzg The final fight with Vergil]]. Awesome, yet fittingly tragic, considering what the brothers are doing.
** Also from the same game, the [[http://youtu.be/QgrFx0cDWQg second fight with Vergil]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6-TlegD-SE second part of the Arkham fight]] and the main theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-KlzfV8_DI Devils Never Cry]], deserve mention.
** From the first ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1RjU50PoMo Lock and Load]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBGaQq1GZH8 Super Ultra Violet]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWW6HuAPck Legendary Battle]].
*** There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YeNr2fpfpI Final Penetration]], which plays as you're traversing the [[BloodyBowelsOfHell Bloody Bowels Of The Underworld]] near the end of the game.
*** As well as the theme for all three of his major weapons: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iYRNiiX13c Alastor]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO2U6Ioq29A Ifrit]], and especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6phaIVsJKOE Sparda]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9euq6kJL_A Divine Hate]]. Also from ''3''.
** The fourth game needs a couple nominations at least. "Swipe of Sword" for the obligatory awesome boss theme, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZRWEa-VtnE DRINK IT DOWN]]" (Wikipedia says it was made for the game), played when you're doing the mandatory install on the [=PS3=], during the OP and in the Bloody Palace randomly. Sadly, only present in the Japanese, and possibly the Asian, version of the game. And here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoP4SuOvOY Swipe of Sword]].
** While ''2'' is generally received as a bad game, at least it brought us [[http://youtu.be/ACZIvqaWYwE Heads Or Tails]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIbp0whTso0 Seeds Of Love]], also from the first game.
** Also from ''4'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7RYBgMOatk Sworn Through Swords]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj7oRNCld4s Suffer]] from ''3'' and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bK0Icu2Wgs The Time Has Come]] from ''4''.
** I'll "Suffer" when you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbSb5ZonqGw "Taste the Blood"]]
** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbCXy37H4Rc Public Enemy]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlg_D_oeH88 Flock Off!]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUavHaDTbNE Psycho Siren]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhMsWVWOSnU Red Hot Juice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpDiBDEK2G0 Mental Machine]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKVEM-a2lg Pillow Talk]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB0x0IRm9Wo Super Public Enemy]] from ''1''.
** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd1ImXP3jM8 Faithful Servant]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQtA_CFZm04 Cry for the Moon]], or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ6yNrxj1Js Dance with Devils D mix]] from ''2''.
** The ''first'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSvIPWVyjU Vergil battle theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onwIcZt0-g4 Dante's Office 7 Hells Battle]] from ''3''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwi2pXpiQu4 Blackened Angel]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhCojimYTI4 Shall Never Surrender]] from ''4''.
** And while Super Ultra Violet is just an event BGM tacked on to a pre-exsiting theme, the original [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1jVK2zhxDE Ultra Violet]] must be mentioned.

* The ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series has some great [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OimG8UOfXoE boss themes]]. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. For starters, there's the ending theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpuGNH75pUc Reset]]" and ThemeMusicPowerUp "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxK58tPU4I The Sun Rises]]". (The latter even also shows up in ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' at the exact same moment that it would play in the original game)

** From VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOjKz8HaCqc Yakushi Village]] is just beautiful, especially in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE5Zusp-DjE Limited Edition arrangement.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnhJwzQl4rI Stirring,]] on the other hand, is simply very, very epic.

* Most of the boss music from ''VideoGame/GodHand'' counts. Key examples are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlSKbTOiqnw "Smoking Roll"]], Elvis's theme, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7izuEcqKjY "Devil May Sly"]], the fight music for [[EvilCounterpart Azel]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmUpIuHqmzg The final fight with Vergil]] in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3''. Awesome, yet fittingly tragic, considering what the brothers are doing.

* From ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' comes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-3x-gejuE Another Joe's Theme]], played during the boss fight against Joe's ''{{Doppelganger}}''. Appropriately, it's a BossRemix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5PLEPD_tOc Joe's theme]].

* The 2009 remake of ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'', more exactly: the final scene, when [[spoiler:Spencer headbutts Super Joe through the cockpit of his mech, makes it explode and falls into the hole]] - the song is titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKf1UuDmmps "Beyond Dark Skies"]].

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara Samurai Heroes'' gives you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qwqV_5p9_I the epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Yeah, for someone who evolves from a BrattyHalfPint JamesBondage into a badass fist-fighting unifier, it's befitting that he got a kickass theme in return.

* The soundtrack for ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'' is mostly mediocre overall, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJjiz6WsBI "For Metro City"]] is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in a short section of the first level.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ktjH8eSAO8 "Law and Disorder"]] is the ultimate beat-em-up tune. If the streets were to take a musical form, they would be this.
* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick''. You can tell the original composer from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' had a hand on it. Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6xMvGbwT7I Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead]]), Detective Jowd's ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxzU3wRZxcM Detective Jowd ~ A Captive of Fate]]), 4 Minutes Before Death ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YROofZCpC1w Moderate]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wne7_Lld-Zw Allegro]]), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBmF0DAZ1Q Trauma]] (which would have been better named "Investigation ~ Core 2010) and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovGygYv36S0 Memory]] theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnTgeO_LOQ Chained Past]], which solidly conveys the fact that you're really starting to dive deep into the dark history that set the game's events into motion. It might as well be [[spoiler:Yomiel's]] unofficial theme music.

** Also, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3khsva6E8 Main Theme]] and ' extended version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYcbNnFz378 Epilogue ~ The End of the Night]].
* ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'' has a ton of awesome soundtrack. A good example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTNfuztCMgM End Of The Struggle]], who plays when you strike a boss with its major weakness.

* ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'' has its own fair share of memorable tunes. The best ones from the first game includes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbH-DeCkWA Zelkin's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lC4psJzkI Rimgal's stage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8egAKc7zY Gore's stage]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwudPUZXA3I Bilstein's stage]]. Special mention should go to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZTO8mA4CA Special Stage]], for its own awesome music literally screams FinalBattle when fighting against [[spoiler:Ghost]] Bilstein.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i9l5_1MmB4 classic theme]] from ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', a theme that sounds like [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Death. Constant, meaningless Death]].
** Speaking of which, the awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG01rPyfzCg remix]] from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmUpIuHqmzg The final fight with Vergil]] in ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 3''. Awesome, yet fittingly tragic, considering what the brothers are doing.

** From the first ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1RjU50PoMo Lock and Load]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBGaQq1GZH8 Super Ultra Violet]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWW6HuAPck Legendary Battle]].

* ''LostPlanet: Extreme Condition'' had some [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCximJUOm4o pretty epic music]].

As a [[VideoGameLongRunners long running]] company which gave us loads and loads of fun and awesome games over all of these years, it's no surprise that {{Capcom}} also has its big share of awesome music as well.

* From ''ViewtifulJoe'' comes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ-3x-gejuE Another Joe's Theme]], played during the boss fight against Joe's ''{{Doppelganger}}''. Appropriately, it's a BossRemix of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5PLEPD_tOc Joe's theme]].

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara Samurai Heroes'' gives you [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qwqV_5p9_I the epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Yeah, for someone who evolves from a BrattyHalfPint JamesBondage into a {{Badass}} fist-fighting unifier, it's befitting that he got a kickass theme in return.

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' has a lot of awesome tracks, and to start off we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqYYpfakcsg The Trouble Man]], the main ending theme of the series.
** From ''Vampire'', there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuKnhW04734 Huitzil''s theme]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9Vtei4JzQ Lord Raptor's theme]]
** From ''Vampire Hunter'', there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKEtytJXwA Bishamon's theme]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqse9nqs8E Pyron's theme]]
** From ''Vampire Savior'', there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytgJudK6W7w Forever Torment]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDR4ISJu4cM Iron Horse, Iron Terror]]

* AwesomeMusic/Darkstalkers

** The fourth game needs a couple nominations at least. "Swipe of Sword" for the obligatory awesome boss theme, and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZRWEa-VtnE DRINK IT DOWN]]" (Wikipedia says it was made for the game), played when you're doing the mandatory install on the PS3, during the OP and in the Bloody Palace randomly. Sadly, only present in the Japanese, and possibly the Asian, version of the game. And here's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoP4SuOvOY Swipe of Sword]].

* AwesomeMusic/MonsterHunter

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ridZISF1drI "More Than Words"]]. Played during TearJerker moments, and works in synch with them brilliantly.
** And then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEv6VbF_YM "On The Honored Day"]] (also known as "Memories"), the theme of the dragon that saved the hero's hometown before the story began. Despite being repetitive, it's still incredibly beautiful.
*** It's later replaced with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xw1BMzR5Yc "Daybreak"]] once [[spoiler: the dragon sacrifices itself to let your party enter [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Infinity]].]]

** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS0ocuYf2r8 "Dying Corpse"]]. So epic, it's hard to believe that this music was used as ''the standard battle theme''.
*** The second one, to be more precise. Though [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxt-d3iZaTU "Cross Counter"]], the first battle theme, is pretty awesome too.

* Most of the boss music from ''GodHand'' counts. Key examples are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlSKbTOiqnw "Smoking Roll"]], Elvis's theme, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7izuEcqKjY "Devil May Sly"]], the fight music for [[EvilCounterpart Azel]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmUpIuHqmzg The final fight with Vergil]] in ''DevilMayCry 3''. Awesome, yet fittingly tragic, considering what the brothers are doing.

** From the first ''DevilMayCry'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1RjU50PoMo Lock and Load]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBGaQq1GZH8 Super Ultra Violet]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWW6HuAPck Legendary Battle]].

* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools: United By Fate'' already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hqDynXRag4 We'll Protect Our School!]]". But when the game was ported to the [=PlayStation=], it sported an additional animated intro with an even better theme in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csqx8Vmo-7Q Atsuki Kodou]]."

** Before revealing his actual identity, the Black Emperor fights Joe and Silvia in outer space. The boss theme is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeCh-WMpsZI amazingly fitting]] for 'the greatest show in the universe!'
