This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively playing other music.

It's gotta be from Final Fantasy, hard to choose just one when you got: Suteki da Ne, real Emotions, Eyes on Me, Sen no Kotoba, Otherworld, One Winged Angel, etc... there's a reason why I love Theatrhythm. But if I had to it will probably be Melodies of Life.

Actually, I change my mind, this is the catchiest video game song.

Everything from Grim Fandango.

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.

It's cheating, but there was a track in need for speed carbon that was catchy as hell. Love me or hate me, by Lady Sovereign

Not technically video game music, but it's one of the few tracks in any video game that I went out of my way to find outside of a game.

The main theme of Papers, Please: https://youtu.be/DbBB1j5qAFs

The battle theme from Yakuza: Like a Dragon has been in heavy rotation on my favorites playlist for a while now.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

I just recently finished this one, and The Man Who Erased His Name shortly after that. Apparently I've been sleeping on the Yakuza series, because they're fantastic, and have amazing soundtracks.

i play a lot of shmups and their songs are often stuck in my head, most recently some stuff from raycrisis. fire emblem warriors songs get stuck in my head as well.

you might like !shmups@lemmus.org if you are not already subbed to it

been there for a hot minute! solid little group.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

All versions of moon over the castle from the gran tursimo series, the version from GT4 goes hard.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I'm locking my answer in on the old Minecraft music. Literally EVERYONE knows it.

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's a recent one, but I haven't been able to get Gestral Summer Party out of my head since I first heard it in Expedition 33 last month.

[–] mckean@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago
[–] Nikko882@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.

I also really like celeste's soundtrack

[–] diverhell@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

For me it's Gyromite: Gyromite - NES

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Digger (1980's). It used the Popcorn song and nothing beats the Popcorn song.

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hang On main theme tune is excellent. The soundtrack to Hang-On and Super Hang-On are both top tier.

Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.

Free by Crush 40

Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.

for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.

[–] con_fig@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Turtle Woods from Crash Bandicoot 2 has never left me ever since I first played it on the PS1.
