Yup, definitely a nice feature. I was hoping for some level design changes and extra areas or bosses for the remake so I haven't played it yet, but I probably will soon.

My personal favorite, Lower Norfair from Super Metroid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgHkrY6v-Ko

A couple other indie games with great music:

Undertale
Hollow Knight

(I own both games and their soundtracks, but haven't yet played either (except to determine that Hollow Knight is a bit slow, and Undertale to try naming my character "Gaster".)

The remake has new challenge areas, one for each form, hidden in various spots in the game. No newe bosses, however.

There's also a hard mode. If you've played Wonder Boy 2, you might remember that there was an hourglass, and when it emptied, you would take damage. Well, the remake's hard mode adds it to Wonder Boy 3.

By the way, tinahacks is running this game at AGDQ, which is this coming week. (Speaking of which, some people on this forum might also be interested in squibbons's run of Ultima 6 (SNES version), also at AGDQ.)

Anyway, when I mentioned good Zelda music, there was one major ommission: from Majora's Mask (which I *have* played, unlike the other examples I gave earlier): Stone Tower Temple. That's one of my favorite pieces of video game music of all time.

Some other favorites of mine...

Divine Divinity
The Song of the Wind
Roads Shaded By Green Eaves

Blood and Wine
Tavern Theme
On the Champs-Désolés
The Banks of the Sansretour
The Slopes of the Blessure
Wind In the Caroberta Woods

Planescape: Torment also had an excellent soundtrack.
I'm going to mention the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series too. To be played on master difficulty, with headphones on.

thanks for the links, that goat one made me crack up :D

um, there are so many game soundtracks, morrowinds comes first to mind but heres one that has been on my mind lately, the game is point and click and you explore an seemingly abandoned creepy carnival... this music was on point for atmosphere, faust seven games of the soul

Just saw this and read the comments, hilarious

Sorry after seeing the goat video it reminded me of this....

Down with the sickness, animal version

"Silver for Monsters...", The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

You know, the LELELEY-LELELELELEY-LELELELELEY-LELELEY-LELEY-LELEY-LELEY-LELE one.

this one?

Could be Shakira :D

My personal favorites are from the PS2 Ace Combat series, especially Ace Combat Zero. The soundtracks to the PS2 Katamari games would run a close second.
