As you've probably seen on my twitter, I was lucky enough to attend the San Diego Comic-Con spinoff show they held in San Francisco yesterday! While I'm sure most of the podcast fans don't give a damn about comics (Maybe some of you do, I can't say for sure ^^; ) there were some videogame related things to see.
For example Capcom had a booth there with a few of their upcoming releases for 2010! hit the jump for my full report!! (and yeah there'll be some comic-specific stuff in there too... but we had to do *something* to fill time till the end of it.)
Due to copyright I can't make this song available for download directly.
Since act-deft's pick was a little late, I had to push mine back a little too... but anyway:
Ah B4U... while not too challenging as a DDR song, up until a couple weeks ago it was always one of those IIDX songs I never imagined myself passing, but lo and behold I actually did it! (nevermind I had a little help from the EASY modifier, but a pass is a pass imo :P)
This song is definetly up there in terms of 'Best BEMANI song ever' it's just so memorable. a driving techno beat with the iconic lyrics, there's just no denying its greatness.
There have also been several remixes of B4U including:
- B4U Glorious Style - One of the only 'long versions' ever done in DDR, this one appeared in 5th MIX. - B4U -B4ZA BEAT MIX- - a special ONI-only remix done for DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7th MIX. - B4U (BEMANI FOR YOU MIX) remixed by DJ YOSHITAKA and Michael Ala Mode, which appeared in beatmania IIDX 16: EMPRESS - as well as a remix by the group 'kutimu' which you can hear in Orange Lounge Revolution 2nd MIX, available now!

Finally, Chrono Trigger was able to win a USL Madness contest since it started 2 years ago. Always coming 2nd place against previous winners Super Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 3, so congrats to this wonderful game. You never gave up, so you deserve it.
And so it has won, why not dedicate an "I Love That Song!" segment to it with one of the most wonderful songs in the game.
Today's track is...

Battlecry - nujabes feat. Shing02
Okay, technically it's not really from a game, but there was the PS2 game based on the anime, and this song naturally made an appearance in it, so I say it counts! :P
But in all seriousness when I'd heard the news from DDR legend Mel B that one of this song's composers, Seba 'nujabes' Jun had died in a car crash last month, I was definetly saddened to hear the news... I always loved this opening theme to the Samurai Champloo anime, it really set the tone for the 'Hip-Hop meets feudal Japan' setting from the anime and the game. Two lone samurai wind up crossing paths in a local eatery which happens to be waitressed by the young Fuu, and things just go downhill from there and the trio winds up getting into all kinds of trouble. (That is, when they're not trying to outright kill each other!!)
