As promised last week, the pair of Mega Man remix albums done in rock and techno styles have been released in Japan and like all music these days, it seems, have been uploaded to YouTube. While those of us not in Japan wait and hope for a domestic release on disc or the digital music shop of choice (iTunes, Amazon, etc.), we can at least check out a bit of what we're missing. Consider this medley of themes from Mega Man 2 in which we're treated to remixed renditions of stage themes for Bubble Man, Heat Man, Wood Man, and Air Man, for instance. It stays close to the source material and yet adds something new to tunes that have been burned into Mega Man fans' brains for over two decades. If the rest of the albums are as solid as this track, then I'd say that Capcom has another winner on its hands.
