The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast

The focus for this episode was Famicom games, which therefore also means it's almost entirely Japanese-exclusive games and certainly entirely music that only appeared in Japanese-exclusive releases.  "Doll Masquerade" from Toukon Club has that classic sports game music with also the quality you know you can expect from Natsume.  After that, we get a spooky sounding track reminiscent of

Another free play filled with great music, just as you would expect.  We've got some returning titles such as Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake with a smooth, jazzy jam "Planet Impact Town."  There's also new titles to the show such as JB: The Super Bass with a phenomenal track "JB Pro Shop."  Additionally, "Wind Mountain/Earth Caves" from the classic

It had been over a decade since the boizz did a focus on Asiatic sounding music, so it was finally time to return to this topic for Asiatic Music 3!  There's a lot of great stuff here including tenner quality tracks like "Water Fortress Revisited" from Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake.  Of course there's the expected titles like Shinobi, but also some lesser

Rob has some major tech issues, but through the power of editing, you probably won't notice it too much (but you still will hear some weird moments because of it).  Brent plays music supervisor on an imagined independent romantic comedy-drama film.  And Gabe reveals the Legacy Music Player, a video game music player application which is available for Macintosh at

Surprisingly, until this point, The Legacy Music Hour had never done an episode focused on orchestral music.  They'd done some RPG episodes, and that could almost count, but not really.  Whether quiet and peaceful or loud and bombastic, orchestral music can really help set the tone for an emotional scene or an all out brawl.  We've got woodwind, string, brass and percussion

It's time again for another Beyond 16-Bit episode, where the boizz get to play some video game music that normally wouldn't be LMH legal.  This covers a wide range of generations, including a track from a game (Mina the Hollower) that at the time of this mixtape's release has yet to even be released!  Two tracks were played from the arcade game Bunny Bomber Blast! which are sure to get

The last metroid is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace.  And that was the unofficial theme of Episode 290: peace.  So let's put an end to these console wars!  Speaking of peaceful, check out the relaxing "Waiting For A Bite/Setting Fish Free (Bassa Mode)" from Super Black Bass 3.  Don't worry though, we've got some energetic jams as well, such as "The Theme of "THE COBRAS" (

As the boizz close the books on another podcast year, they count down their top ten tracks while Gabe counts down his top five.  It's tenner time on this episode!Download and listen NOWPartial track listing and original episode:https://www.legacymusichour.com/2025/10/episode-289-best-of-year-in-review-14.html

This episode is a console focus, namely on the Famicom.  And with that, it's all Japanese-exclusive game releases.  Let's see what variety of music the Famicom can produce -and you can bet that variety becomes more pronounced when certain games have special sound chips involved.  Aside from the tunes, Brent helps Rob practice acting like an alien for an upcoming audition. 

Castles are a common setting in video games and this was the second time the Legacy Music Hour took on this topic, including all of the variety that comes with it.  A certain style may come to mind when you think of "castle" music, and there is certainly some of that in this mixtape, but castle themes can range from grand and regal to creepy or gloomy and even directions you might not expect
