About: Music is quite important in the numerous Visual Novel games that have released over the years, and it is just one component that sets them aside from a standard novel or book. These songs come from Visual Novels, or games with Visual Novel elements. Artwork: LOOPERS 00:00 - Safe Haven [VA-11 HALL-A] by Garoad > 02:32 - High Society City [Master Detective Archives: Rain Code] by Masafumi Takada > 06:25 - Knife & Crystal [Paradise Killer] by Epoch > 09:07 - Special Magic [Loopers] by Soshi Hosoi > 11:30 - Skia Oura [The House In Fata Morgana] by Mellok'n > 14:59 - Her Worries [Chaos;Child] by Takeshi Abo > 18:16 - Defendant Lobby [Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies] by Noriyuki Iwadare > 20:54 - Cycle [Steins;Gate] by Takeshi Abo > 23:23 - Nakano City [Anonymous;Code] by Takeshi Abo > 26:55 - Moonlit Night [Loopers] by Sumi > pixelbeatpod@icloud.com >

One of our oldest and most popular episode formats returns as we count down the best games of 2016, a year that brought good news for everyone! Except Microsoft. And Nintendo. Everything from Uncharted 4 to Inside gets discussed in this bumper episode – alongside our (fairly dour) memories of the time working on magazines. Plus, hear all about Matthew's shattered knee at Gamescom yet again. Note that there's a factual error in this episode: Samuel says they should make Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo perpetually available on modern formats including Steam, which it is. Last year's Capcom Fighting Collection features it, with online play!This week's music is from the Hitman soundtrack by Niels Bye Nielsen and the Phoenix Wright: Spirit of Justice soundtrack by Noriyuki Iwadare, Toshihiko Horiyama and Masami Onodera. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you know your RPGFan history very well, you'll know that when we started in 1997, we started under the name of LunarNET. While we didn't exclusively cover Lunar, the love of this series and Grandia (also from Game Arts) was essential to our founding. Since the SegaCD version of Lunar: The Silver Star just celebrated its 30th anniversary on June 26th, 2022, we decided it was the perfect time to dedicate an episode to Noriyuki Iwadare's timeless work on the series.While Lunar is admittedly a small series with only two main games and a pair of spin-offs, the two main games have been remade — multiple times in the case of The Silver Star. Each version brought with it new musical arrangements, so don't let the smallness of the series fool you — there is a lot of wonderful music to experience!Featuring: Mike Salbato, Patrick Gann, Zach Wilkerson, Scott Clay; Edited by Jono LoganLinks for this episode LunarNET: Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete Lyrics Comparisons LunarNET: Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete Lyrics Comparisons Tracklist0:06:32 - LUNAR (Noriyuki Iwadare) - Lunar ~The Silver Star~0:09:39 - Opening Credits Remastered (Noriyuki Iwadare, arr.

Though the series is known for its chaotic courtroom battles, bizarre witnesses, and unique “Japanifornia” setting, many would argue that it's the incredible music that ties everything together.With its brilliant character themes and dramatic courtroom suites, the music of Ace Attorney brings the larger-than-life battles between defense attorneys and prosecutors to life. Join Jono, Niki, and Patrick as they delve into the tunes that make the Ace Attorney series and its characters so unforgettable!

Once one of the most popular genres of video games, adventure games have become much more niche in recent years. But thankfully, it's a niche with some absolutely fantastic music!From the mid-80s to the early 2000s, adventure games were at the forefront of narratives in interactive entertainment. In a time before RPGs embraced cinematic CGI cutscenes and voice acting, LucasArts, Sierra, and other adventure game developers were pioneering multimedia in video games, presenting audiences with expansive stories, fully-voiced casts of characters, full-motion video, and some truly memorable “moon logic puzzles.” They also created some incredible music! Join Adam, Hilary, and Jono as they move through adventure game history, highlighting some of their favorite music tracks from classics of the genre (and there might be some talk of musical theater thrown in there for good measure)!Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Jonathan Logan, Adam Luhrs; Edited by Jonathan LoganLinks for this episodeYouTube - How Octopath Traveler Hypes its Boss Battles - Game Score FanfareTracklist0:15:48 - The Magic Meadow (Mark Seibert) - Sierra Soundtrack Collection0:19:43 - Deep in the Caribbean… (Michael Land) - The Secret of Monkey Island0:34:16 - Atrus' Study (Jack Wall) - Myst III: Exile Soundtrack0:37:03 - Grim Fandango (Peter McConnell) - Grim Fandango Remastered Original Soundtrack0:59:36 - Gyakuten Saiban 1~3 Courtroom Suite (Masakazu Sugimori, Noriyuki Iwadare)  - Gyakuten Saiban 15th Anniversary Orchestra Concert1:08:26 - Crusin' (Jared Emerson-Johnson) - Sam & Max Save the World Soundtrack1:48:34 - Adam's Bonus Track!Bonus Background Tracks0:00:39 - Courtroom Lounge ~ Opening Prelude (English Turnabout Mix)(Masakazu Sugimori) - Professor Layton VS Gyakuten Saiban Magical Mystery Music0:02:13 - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Clark Gesner, Andrew Lippa) - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Cast)0:02:31 - Game of Life (Michael Kooman, Christopher Dimond) - Dani Girl (Demo)0:03:14 - Overture (Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice) - Jesus Christ Superstar (1970 Concept Cast)0:03:37 - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (William Finn) - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005 Original Cast)0:03:57 - Three Coins in the Fountain (Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn) - Forever Plaid (1990 Off-Off-Broadway Cast)0:04:26 - Hot Stuff (Pete Bellotte, Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey) - Disaster (2016 Original Broadway Cast)0:05:13 - Overture (Work Song) (Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil, Jean-Marc Natel) - Les Misérables (1987 Original Broadway Cast)0:05:33 - Prologue (We Might Play All Night) (Heidi Rodewald, Stew) - Passing Strange (2008 Original Broadway Cast)0:06:31 - Karnak's Dream of Life (Brooke Maxwell, Jacob Richmond) - Ride the Cyclone (2021 Studio Cast)1:39:35 - Title Theme - Star Trek: 25th AnniversaryAlbum LinksSierra Soundtrack CollectionVGMdbMyst III: Exile The Soundtrack Our Review VGMdb Grim Fandango Remastered Original Soundtrack Our Review (Original Soundtrack) VGMdb Amazon iTunes Store / Apple Music Spotify Gyakuten Saiban 15th Anniversary Orchestra Concert VGMdb CDJapan Spotify Sam & Max Save the World Soundtrack VGMdb Steam Bandcamp Professor Layton VS Gyakuten Saiban Magical Mystery Music Our Review VGMdb CDJapan Get in Touch:RPGFan.comEmail us: music@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
