Menu music so awesome it makes not want to play the game #1

Prinny: can i really be the hero?

 

[Areani]

The quality of the game is debatable. The menu music, however, is not.

As several people said, this.

Spoiler: Metroid Prime

Also, this.

Spoiler: Fallout 3

And most of the World of Warcraft login themes.

I found certain comfort in just listening to the theme song of dragon age

Maybey me being a bit nostalgic, but this.

Baldur's Gate 2. Has nobody else posted this yet? I hope I just didn't see the post.

And while it's not technically menu music (I still think it counts), the velvet room track from all the Persona games:

More recently, Fallout: New Vegas. The music in that game was just so many times better than FO3 (the ambient/bgm, not the radio songs).

I ask you, is it possible for a song to get you more pumped to play a JRPG than this? I think not.

By far my favourite menu music, and I don't even own a Halo game!

Found this recently while reading back through Shamus's blog and veering off into his links.

Why do I get the distinct feeling I am gonna spend my whole morning now listening to all these?

same here.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Naturally, given my current debilitating addiction to Anamanaguchi, this was the first thing that came to my mind. I knew the soundtrack to that game would be good as soon as I heard they did it, but I was still surprised at just how brilliant and appropriate it was. The best bit is how well it also works as a stand-alone album.

The menu music from Mass Effect was always nice,

<youtube=w097Q0fZE-A>

i agree.. when i first played mass effect, i just spent about 10 minutes listening to this music and taking in the feel for the game (which came to me with just the music)

it... puts me into kind of a trance.

as for me, though,
BRUTAL
MOTHERFUCKING
LEGEND!


i just sit back and headbang for a while before i begin >

The music that plays when you pause The Ballad of Gay Tony:

Just pause the game and relax
