The only track names that are missing from the 2-disc release from SuperSweep are the two ‘extended version’ tracks, although we won’t know until we have both releases in hand what the real differences are. It’s then on to Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on disc 2. The tracks tend to be a little on the short side, but you pretty much have the entire PS2 version of the soundtrack presented here, which is pretty awesome. In all, I have to say that the Tekken Tag Tournament soundtrack has certainly aged quite a bit, but there are still some real gems here. Yu Miyake is a highlight on this album with his frantic theme for Marshall Law, sounding as though something is about to explode, as well as the slow, gritty, and seemingly confused theme for King, which sums up how I feel about that character. Yoshimitsu gets a fitting quirky electronic tune, highlighting my favorite eccentric space ninja, while Ogre gets an epic orchestral/electronic fusion piece, hitting heavy as the final battle theme from the game.
It certainly demonstrates his versatility in comparison to NieR. I had this track as my ringtone for a time, and the awesome disco track may even top Okabe’s work on NieRas my favorite composition of his. My hands down favorite, and one that’s been near the top of my iPod rotation since its release is “Xiaoyu” by Keiichi Okabe.
The soundtrack was also fantastic, with several tracks from Yu Miyake, Keiichi Okabe, Nobuyoshi Sano, Akitaka Tohyama, and the rest of the gang. Tekken Tag Tournament is easily my favorite Tekken title, and the one I probably spent the most time with along with Tekken 3 and the original Tekken (which I liked to show off to non-gamers to demonstrate how far videogame graphics had come). While we already noted what was contained within, we’re going to take a more in-depth look at the music to let you know what to expect. While the standard edition will be available for $39.99, those who want to splurge and spend $59.99 will get a nice case, an art book, and of course a double-disc limited edition soundtrack. We posted last week about Tekken Hybrid which is out this week, containing Tekken Tag Tournament HD, a demo of the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and the Tekken Blood Vengeance CGI film all in one nice set.
