This is a cool new approach. Usually remixes of this are Genesis remixes reimagined in a sort of a hard rock style.

[@TwinbeeMint]

This proves that Genesis not only can just be a HARDING ROCK N ROLL!!! but also has a Grooving, Funking, and chill style too

[@steveluvscows2490]

"This isn't fun anymore..."

[@RikiRaccoon]

And just like that I'm a kid again imagining all the constant fighting Zero did between 1 and 2, where he got the scarf / poncho, the individuals he helped on his aimless wanderings through a wasteland trying to find memories of a world, a world that has itself forgotten both him and what it used to be.

[@EPOCHGAMER64]

Ahhh hell yeaaa, Mega man zero music, keep up the AMAZING tunes... this is absolute perfection

[@nwcr_]

No damn way you did another Mega Man remix after so much time, hell yeah

[@LandyRShambles]

I think the romhack you're talking about was Sonic Thrash. Nice to see another take on this song

[@dynastesgigas6996]

You're like King Midas, but everything you touch turns into a badass chiptune. This is fantastic.
EDIT: Esperanto would be awesome, but Megaman ZX has some pretty good tracks that could use more attention. In particular, Mountain Rider (Area B), Wonder Panorama (Area F), Industrialism (Area E), Gauntlet (Area L), and Snake Eyes (final stage) are very overlooked. MMZXA wasn't as good a game as MMZX, but In The Wind (Floating Ruins) was a standout theme from that game too.

[@ZonicMirage]

I know it's been remixed a lot, but I wanna hear their take on Cannon Ball too.

[@samirjohnson4524]

I liked advent more, tbh. I think Destiny, through the lighting, and bullet drive would also be great choices.

[@SaturnsRing98]

I *adore* the take on this track, I love it!! Departure was set to be used in Sonic Thrash, but IIRC the hack wasn't finished. It DID appear in Sonic Boom though, which had the same music artist, amphobius!
Also, not requesting Esperanto. I'm more a Straight Ahead or Holy Land kinda guy.

[@zakkuth7447]

Departure was also featured in Sonic Mildness

[@SaturnsRing98]

@@zakkuth7447 Never heard of that one before, how would you rate that one?

[@zakkuth7447]

@@SaturnsRing98 Mildness is certainly not as ambitious as Sonic Boom (funnily enough, the Departure arrangement from Mildness is a derivative of Boom's version), but it's alright. It's got a couple original bosses by vladikcomper, decent level design and graphics. Mildness's soundtrack is a highlight, it's full of good SMPS renditions of various tunes ranging from Mega Man music to Nyan Cat :P I think it's a good hack overall

[@WickerBasket9]

@@zakkuth7447 I've played that ROM hack many a time just for the soundtrack, and it's so good! Good hack, banger soundtrack except for that one bug where the audio gets stuck in a level for the entire game. For example, Sandy Palace Zone-Act 3 when the game lags super hard and the sound driver has a stroke by getting stuck at that zone theme for the rest of the game. No sound effects, just that one tune.

[@BYNL-]

Great time to check RUclips. Hope you cover more Zero tracks.

[@mushroomdude123]

You’re amazing at this. You took an already incredible song and gave it a cool new twist.

[@WickerBasket9]

*Sonic Boom sound test and Sonic Mildness-Sandy Palace Zone-Act 3 vibes intensifies*
Minus the cymbal crash, since that's not in Sandy Palace Zone-Act 3, I think.

[@nibelungvalesty]

Surprisingly this has a SNK feel to it.

[@TheExFatal]

YOU'RE DOING MEGA MAN NOW??? is today my birthday or what

[@IAMMechakirby1]

after a few listens the samples actually remind me of shmup games like battle garegga and the like

[@zakkuth7447]

The samples are from Battle Garegga, it's mentioned in the video

[@heill232]

yes.

[@zapoopthesecond2197]

This feels like it would play in that SNK vs Capcom game ajsjwk

[@silverus3617]

i actually do remember hearing departure in a sonic rom hack, iirc it was called "sonic mildness"

[@jaylunoc6541]

i want to liquify this and pour it directly on my brain

[@BlackSenapi]

BROOOO MEGAMAN ZERO???
this is so based...

[@BrayanFlavio]

Dios mío, pero sí esto es magnífico, usted es de otro planeta, semejante obra de maestra!

[@ashkirby8896]

Nice Battle Garegga style OPM+PCMD8 cover of the song!😄🤩😎👌

[@MrBartl3tt]

Oh my... My favorite game, i love your remixes!

[@ZonicMirage]

Never liked and playlist-saved so quick, man.

[@IAMMechakirby1]

AYO?????? HELL YEAH Megaman zero is peak!

[@blackmegaman2lmao175]

Please do more Megaman stuff holy shit

[@altariazero4069]

OOOOOOHHHH YEAAAAAAHH!!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for! Thanks, man!❤❤❤

[@TheRealSparkster]

Rock and stone

[@Ninjacat25]

Fuck yes, dude. This rocks. Excellent work.

[@Evolution_BR811]

Beautiful, perfect and wonderful!

[@KlldbyCuriosity]

This is probably the best cover of departure out there! Like…all the others go for heavy guitar but going for a bright synth just gets the mood of the piece so much better across. Love it!

[@flameshinobi9733]

YM 2151 is such a good FM chip. Wish the MegaDrive/Genesis used that instead.

[@Jiskster]

same bro but the ym2612 isnt that bad

[@pottedplant37_]

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THIS WHAT THE HELL

[@streetcrash9]

Right when the music started I remembered playing that first area of the game. Real nostalgia hit.

[@zacharyessey5904]

Brilliant as usual.

[@maxrichards5925]

No fucking way I was just talking about this track! Love this track to death & the arrangement you made of it!

[@venessaap25]

Johnny Tay

[@Yair54.]

its peak.

[@zizirobinson]

Favorite version of this song by a mile. Reminds me a lot of Battle Garegga’s soundtrack

[@danvex_]

Oh boy, this is MAJESTIC.. You've done the most unique remix I've seen in a while, great job!

[@iMrQueso]

YOOOOOOO MEGAMAN ZEROOOOOOOO

[@ultimate8125]

Very swag of you

[@StyrofoamPistol367]

I must say this is some really good shit right Here I truly hope to see some more good shit in the future

[@sonic_boredom]

[@sorrydudebros]

Sonic Mildness - Sandy Palace 3

While Esperanto is a brilliant tune, I'd also love to hear Cannonball and Falling Down in your style :V
