Resident Evil and Street Fighter join the Capcom music store

by Justin McElroy { Oct 21st 2009 at 5:00AM }

For the longest time, we didn't understand game soundtracks. "Hey, just turn the game on and walk away," we said. But after our 17th red ring and 10th Cell chip to commit melty, plasticy suicide, we quickly began to see the value.

Capcom's feeding our new habit with three new additions to the Music section of the Capcom Store: Ten Years Of Resident Evil: The Official Soundtrack, Resident Evil 5: Original Soundtrack and Street Fighter IV: Original Soundtrack. If you too are hesitant about leaping into game soundtracks, Capcom's sweetening the offer with 25 percent off the Mega Man 9 score for anyone who purchases one of the new offerings.

games not music

I'm a long time Resident Evil fan (My first was RE2) but I'm not really interested in their soundtracks... I mean, they are suitable in the game but I wouldn't listen to them otherwise.

KingOfHearts @ Oct 21st 2009 7:33AM

I started with RE2, as well.. The best one in the series, IMO. So much replayability, good weapons, and Claire^_^ And then they go off and change things in RE4..

I own the 10 years of Resident Evil soundtrack. Have owned it since November 2007. Capcom, it would seem, is late to their own party.

Ghostsong @ Oct 21st 2009 9:58AM

The song I most associate with Resident Evil has always been Moonlight Sonata. They obviously weren't going to put it on because it's not part of the original score, but it deserves to be on there. Also makes me think of Shadowman's opening sequence. But I digest....

I can't believe Ken wears knock-offs D:

Put the Katamari soundtracks on iTunes.

how'd you break 10 ps3's?

Vcize @ Oct 21st 2009 8:59AM

I find it hard to believe that they would sell even one copy of that horrid SF4 soundtrack, unless someone was buying it to use for a practical joke.

RonaldoMoon @ Oct 21st 2009 9:25AM

Why is the Mega Man 9 soundtrack $29.95? That's insane.

rickjamess04 @ Oct 21st 2009 9:42AM

I'm guessing perhaps that you misread the fact that you get all 9 megaman soundtracks for 29.95?

RonaldoMoon @ Oct 21st 2009 2:31PM

Yes. Yes, I did. Don't I feel stupid...

$30 for all 9 is not bad at all.

ch82 @ Oct 21st 2009 10:13AM

People pay for game soundtracks?
I figure if I own the game I should get the songs for free

Discotheque @ Oct 21st 2009 11:01AM

"I can feel it coming over me, I feel it all around me"

SFIV soundtrack is....just awful.

LunarAura @ Oct 21st 2009 12:26PM

Woo I can't wait to hear that SF4 challenge mode theme in my car so I can envision Dan and ragequit into a tree.

Hace @ Oct 21st 2009 12:51PM

What the fuck is that Gen doing?

Temidien @ Oct 21st 2009 2:52PM
