Select Mode
The King of Fighters XIII
No credits for composition are given for this game. Akio Jinsenji is the sound director.
Yesterday was the 14th Anniversary for KOF XIII. I wanted to tribute it with my personal favorite track from the game... the mode select theme from the console version.
This theme stuck out to me in particular because I have never and haven't since heard a MODE select theme that went this hard. The background guitars, the echoing synths, it's so dramatic and epic. I could easily have this as a battle theme or as the theme for a badass new character.
This theme didn't make it into jukebox mode for KOF XV, which doesn't allow you to change the main menu theme. Which I find very regrettable. Some fighting games don't even bother with Main Menu themes, or they just use the character select theme or repurpose another track from the arcade version.
A few other menu themes I find notable are Marvel VS Capcom 2 AND 3, Super Street Fighter 4 (when they still used Volcanic Rim remixes), Capcom VS SNK 2, 3rd Strike Online Edition, and Darkstalkers Resurrection. I'll probably post all of these at some point.
endless list of inspirational music: ↳ “Main Menu Theme” (Dark Souls III)
This week I’ve chosen the Wolfenstein The New Order main menu theme. That tasty bass and industrial notes soothes my soul.
Main menu theme from the game Project Readjusted 2
DA 2 has my favorite Main Menu tune.
Inquisition is second, DA 2 is so hauntingly beautiful though.
