As a 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.
The following games/series have their own pages:
- Ace Attorney
- Asura's Wrath
- Capcom vs.
- Darkstalkers
- Devil May Cry
- Mega Man
- Monster Hunter
- Ōkami
- Resident Evil
- Street Fighter
- Breath of Fire II:
- "More Than Words"
. Played during Tear Jerker moments, and works in synch with them brilliantly. - "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 "Daybreak" once the dragon sacrifices itself to let your party enter Infinity.
- "White Wings". It's such a beautiful theme that it still sounds beautiful even on the Mario Paint version.
- "God of Decadence". It's a good thing that Breath of Fire II was faithfully translated, as this theme could not represent the Big Bad (actually, his Dragon) and founder of the church any more perfectly.
- And "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 "Cross Counter", the first battle theme, is pretty awesome too.
- "Tunlan" is gorgeous. Its predecessor isn't half bad, either.
- "More Than Words"
- From Breath of Fire III, we have Everyday Battle, The Champion, Alan and Cerl, and the Ending Theme.
- From Breath of Fire IV we have Even Towards Death, Valiantly which plays during three plot critical boss fights.
- Strider had quite a few good tunes, but "Grandmaster" wipes the floor with the rest of them. Very suitably epic final boss theme.
- Rival Schools: United By Fate already had a kick-ass opening theme in its arcade version with "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 "Atsui Kodou."
- Resident Evil:
- The series has some great boss themes. And Suspended Doll is deliciously creepy.
- Wesker's theme from Resident Evil 5.
- Resident Evil 5's theme from the chapter 6-3 right before you get to the Bomber Bay to fight Wesker, 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.
- El Gigante, Mendez, Salazar, Krauser, and Saddler's boss themes from Resident Evil 4 are awesome as well as creepy. Ditto for the ambient soundtracks, such as "A Ruined Village", "Noche", "Cold Sweat", "Novistadors", and "Regeneradors".
- The series has some great boss themes
- God Hand:
- Most of the boss music. Key examples are "Smoking Roll", Elvis's theme, and "Devil May Sly", the fight music for Azel.
- Even the minibosses have awesome music. Behold, "Sunset Heroes", the theme of the Mad Midget Five.
- 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 Shannon's theme, The God Hand's theme itself, and Yet... Oh See Mind.
- Most of the boss music. Key examples are "Smoking Roll"
- From Viewtiful Joe:
- Another Joe's Theme, played during the boss fight against Joe's Doppelgänger. Appropriately, it's a Boss Remix of Joe's theme.
- Viewtiful World.
- Blue the True Hero. It's a remix of the 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 True Heroes.
- Big John and Frost Tiger also had pretty awesome boss themes. And of course, 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 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 amazingly fitting for 'the greatest show in the universe!'
- Another Joe's Theme
- Lost Planet: Extreme Condition had some pretty epic music.
- Bionic Commando (2009):
- 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 "Beyond Dark Skies".
- Bionic Commando: Rearmed's intro screen's astonishingly catchy beat.
- The main theme of the 2009 Bionic Commando is just as awesome with its military/epic tone.
- 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 "Beyond Dark Skies"
- Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes:
- The epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Yeah, for someone who evolves from a Bratty Half-Pint James Bondage into a badass fist-fighting unifier, it's befitting that he got a kickass theme in return.
- Kuroda Kanbe has a pretty rocking theme for a guy with little luck.
- And then, there's the incredible theme of the Osaka - Winter Siege stage.
- Keiji's theme ladies and gents. People have actually challenged him first so that his song keeps playing before Kenshin shows up.
- The epic, rocking, hopeful theme of Tokugawa Ieyasu
- The soundtrack for Final Fight 3 is mostly mediocre overall, but "For Metro City" is rather awesome. Unfortunately, it only plays in a short section of the first level. Meanwhile, "Law and Disorder" is the ultimate beat-em-up tune. If the streets were to take a musical form, they would be this.
- Ghost Trick. You can tell the original composer from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney had a hand on it.
- Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme (Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead), Detective Jowd's (Detective Jowd ~ A Captive of Fate), 4 Minutes Before Death (Moderate and Allegro), Trauma (which would have been better named "Investigation ~ Core 2010) and the Memory theme.
- 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.
- 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 Main Theme and extended version Epilogue ~ The End of the Night.
- Just mentioning a few, we have Lynne's theme (Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead
- Dragon's Dogma has a ton of awesome tracks.
- A good example is End Of The Struggle, which plays when you strike a boss with its major weakness.
- Another example is the (former) title theme, "Into Free -Dragon-", even if it was also a perfect example of Soundtrack Dissonance. Sadly, the song was removed for the Dark Arisen expansion.
- A good example is End Of The Struggle
- Star Gladiator has its own fair share of memorable tunes.
- The best ones from the first game include Zelkin's stage, Rimgal's stage, Gore's stage, and Bilstein's stage. Special mention should go to the Special Stage, for its own awesome music literally screams Final Battle when fighting against Ghost Bilstein.
- The sequel, Plasma Sword, has its own decent line-up of musical hits, which includes "Illusion of Peace", "Fade to Silence", "Holy Graveyard", and "Fate of the Glory".
- The best ones from the first game include Zelkin's stage
- The classic theme from Ghosts 'n Goblins, a theme that sounds like Death. Constant, meaningless Death. Speaking of which, the awesome remix from Project × Zone.
