I've seen half of this band perform at multiple times, in multiple places. One day I will see the full band in one place at one time though. Got to have life goals. VGL really runs the gauntlet here with seven tracks from seven different series. None of them Gauntlet though. We do got some Mega Man X2, Ninja Gaiden 2, The 7th Saga, aaand Zelda, Secret of Mana and Ghosts 'n' Goblins. One series being an anime and not a game, though I think there was a Trigun game once.
It's an eclectic week with the varied sounds of Linnani Vaanija album SNACK. Atmospheric themes from the DIVE: Starpath soundtrack by Nick Borrego. Street Fighter inspired EDM by DJ SUPER SONIC. Soul searching nerd hip hop rock by Schaffer the Darklord, along with Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire on their collab album Hold Person. Then it's the chill study music of Meteo Xavier on his hour long relaxing original music playlist.
In episode one, I'm sharing music from my personal favorite Pokemon spin off, Pokemon Pinball for the Game Boy Color. Music in this episode composed by Go Ichinose, Junichi Matsuda, Hirokazu 'Hip' Tanaka.
The triumphant return of Dual Core with their new album Downtime, Nerd based hip hop in Wreckfest by Wreck the System. Finely aged chiptune EP, noneday from Vidboy. Some hip hop vgm mashups from 8-Bit Mullet. Then the high calorie sounds of SUGARBURGER by LONELYROLLINGSTARS.

Braxton Burks rearranges classic Pokemon themes in the album Johto Legends (Music from "Pokémon Gold and Silver"). ThePlasmas drop an intense metal album of Castlevania covers. Schematist imagines a world with more Mega Man ZX games. Then SonikBuster sends you to sleep with a variety of game based lullabies from the Sleep Mode album.
