History AwesomeMusic / Capcom

* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools: United By Fate'' already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaAsOA_7aMM 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]]."

* ''GhostTrick''. You can tell they original composer from PhoenixWright had a hand on it. Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6xMvGbwT7I Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead]]), Detective Jowd's ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxzU3wRZxcM Detective Jowd ~ A Captive of Fate]]), 4 Minutes Before Death ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YROofZCpC1w Moderate]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wne7_Lld-Zw Allegro]]), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBmF0DAZ1Q Trauma]] (which would have been better named "Investigation ~ Core 2010) and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovGygYv36S0 Memory]] theme.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbkFeVQgvo0 Blue the True Hero]]. It's a remix of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IicZebSIvQ8 same song you've heard several times beforehand]], but cranked UpToEleven because this fight is ''for real''. Not to be beaten, Dark Hero Jet Black in ''Viewtiful Joe 2'' had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu93_tjV-PE True Heroes]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv0z7V5aK9A Big John]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqOXrb6Xb4 Frost Tiger]] also had pretty awesome boss themes. And of course, [[http://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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzmN5Kaiasc rearranged]] in the second for your fight with Alastor's Underworld Emperor form.

* We can't forget the [[http://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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG01rPyfzCg remix]] from ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBajvmdRGVU The final boss theme]].

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations'' has a absolutely amazing OST, the most notable track being [[http://youtu.be/xnYXwrFcT98 "O vendetta di Dio"]], which plays [[spoiler:in the final battle against Tyrant Norman]].

* The ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series has some great [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OimG8UOfXoE boss]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqjm9wieqcw themes]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.

* The soundtrack for ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'' is mostly mediocre overral, but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJjiz6WsBI "For Metro City"]] is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in short section of the first level.

* The soundtrack for ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'' is mostly mediocre overral, but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJjiz6WsBI "For Metro City"]] is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in [[WastedSong short section of the first level]].

* ''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]].]]
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-NO3XH_SqY White Wings]]''. It's such a beautiful theme that it still sounds beautiful even on ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X6mDfe-iQk the Mario Paint version]]''.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8sU0FGmqRc God of Decadence]]''. It's a good thing that ''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.
** 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.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT-I5qpMfew Tunlan]]'' is gorgeous. Its [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EfYez1cP4w predecessor]] isn't half bad, either.
** Lemme get this thing started with examples from ''3''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDIH4TAb8Us Everyday Battle]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJeIYvQ0Bb8 The Champion]], and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZnrqEsyI74 Ending Theme]] are among the best.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7DwbXX2pE Alan and Cerl]].
** From Breath of Fire IV we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVVPn4WiNw Even Towards Death, Valiantly]] which plays during three plot critical boss fights.

* The Franchise/ResidentEvil series has some great [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OimG8UOfXoE boss]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqjm9wieqcw themes]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.
** Don't forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oH1v1B9Htg Wesker's theme]] from Resident Evil 5, or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBajvmdRGVU the final boss theme]].
** VideoGame/ResidentEvil5's theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the [[spoiler:Bomber Bay to fight Wesker]], [[http://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.

** Believe us, there is no shame in admitting that you like to run around [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wif3MEdRaPA Shinshu Field]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1YRu2pqK3g Ryoshima Coast]] just to hear the music.

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

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv0z7V5aK9A Big John]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqOXrb6Xb4 Frost Tiger]] also had pretty awesome boss themes. And of course, who could forget about [[http://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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzmN5Kaiasc rearranged]] in the second for your fight with Alastor's Underworld Emperor form.

** The sequel, ''Plasma Sword'' has its own decent line-up of musical hits, which includes ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD663dHELog Illusion of Peace]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqda6r-Q2dQ Fade to Silence]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2916XDQ3ldc Holy Graveyard]]'', and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH2cMfHtRng Fate of the Glory]]''.

* ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'' has its own fair share of memorable tunes. The best ones from the first game includes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbH-DeCkWA Zelkin's stage]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lC4psJzkI Rimgal's stage]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8egAKc7zY Gore's stage]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwudPUZXA3I Bilstein's stage]]. Special mention should go to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZTO8mA4CA Special Stage]], for its own awesome music literally screams FinalBattle when fighting against Bilstein.
** The sequel, Plasma Sword has its own decent line-up of musical hits, which includes ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD663dHELog Illusion of Peace]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqda6r-Q2dQ Fade to Silence]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2916XDQ3ldc Holy Graveyard]]'', and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH2cMfHtRng Fate of the Glory]]''.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&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.

* ''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.
** Kuroda Kanbei [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5JkDUBXWCU Has a pretty rocking theme for a guy with little luck]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx69Gj8g1s0 El Gigante]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iVrRcAoAQQ Mendez]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSt2ZQSpDz8 Salazar]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Iz2oqPFmI Krauser]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUPmQJCqPaw Saddler]]'s boss themes from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' are awesome as well as [[NightmareFuel creepy]]. Ditto for the ambient soundtracks, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uyBy8_QeMU "A Ruined Village",]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhdzNj9Ja_k "Noche",]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUNG1H6y0ko "Cold Sweat",]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS8DWlbaRZM "Novistadors",]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vudU0Xslau4 "Regeneradors"]].

** The Final Boss theme is pretty cool too, sounding pretty [[NightmareFuel frightening]]. One Website/{{Youtube}} comment described it perfectly: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XugG82XlAOw Pure evil in music form]]''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. For starters, there's the ending theme "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpuGNH75pUc Reset]]" and ThemeMusicPowerUp "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1YRu2pqK3g 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}}, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIVTFppFEU Yakushi Village]] is just beautiful, especially in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE5Zusp-DjE Limited Edition arrangement.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDco5hE03Pk Stirring,]] on the other hand, is simply very, very epic.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkXJ53_u5iY 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

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5VA-uDYKDk Reset (Thank You)]] is a really nice instrumental version of the game's ending theme.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOmdQwGTGog Demon Lord Ninetails Extermination]].
** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPpOMxVyaIA Okami Shiranui]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G591aa5J5ho Wep'keer]] for that matter.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. For starters, there's the ending theme "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i2bOmPjeWc Reset]]" and ThemeMusicPowerUp "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1YRu2pqK3g The Sun Rises]]".

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd3UmJASyDY Susano's theme]] when he shows up at the Moon Cave also qualifies.

** The music for the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnkRXulE6k Crimson Helm]] bossfight is an adrenaline rush all by itself, and is absolutely ''perfect'' for the battle. Likewise, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IT5_obfDoY 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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QxCn7p6nSY this song]], the theme for one of the most memorable DualBoss battles in all of gaming.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''.

* The ResidentEvil series has some great [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OimG8UOfXoE boss]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqjm9wieqcw themes]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AI3pmwKnMw Suspended Doll]] is deliciously creepy.

** [[ResidentEvil Resident Evil 5's]] theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the [[spoiler:Bomber Bay to fight Wesker]], [[http://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.
