Don't look now, but the Mega Man 9 news just keeps getting better and better. Now fans of the game's soundtrack are in luck, as not one but two Mega Man 9 soundtracks are coming out in Japan later this year courtesy of Inti Creates.
The first soundtrack, due out on September 12th, will feature the original soundtrack music taken directly from the game itself. This disc will feature a whopping 35 different music tracks from the game. The second soundtrack will hit Japanese retailers on October 10th and will feature a fully arranged version of the original Mega Man 9 soundtrack.
Both of these soundtracks have only been confirmed for a Japanese release, so Mega Man fans outside of Japan will have to pick them up from Play-Asia or some other import retailer.

Does either soundtrack include the Tanguy Ukulele Orchestra?

Dang, I was really looking forward to the Soundtrack
. Is Play-Asia usually very expensive, or can I expect something more reasonable?

Play-Asia isn't too bad. I usually go to them, Amazon or Ebay when i have to import stuff from Asia

Sigh, why is it that all video game soundtracks are doomed to shelf life in Japan only?

>.> Once again, FAIL! Is it really that hard to bring it to the other regions? Really? It wasn't hard for the Bionic Commando Rearmed (Good OST by the way) to be on internet stores like iTunes; just do the same with these two soundtracks. They know we'll buy them (>.> You! Don't go near that pirate site!).

Very cool! I also enjoyed the remixed Mega Man tunes in the anthology. So I bet this will be good too

Well of course if it hits iTunes it'll be only on the Japanese store which is a complete FAIL on Capcom's part.

With all this promo and nostalgia it's hard to forget the actual games 10 bucks
I probably won't buy it though, the only video gamesoundtrack I would buy is Super Mario Galaxy and a Final Fantasy game.

Do game CD soundtracks do well outside Japan at all btw?

@Mickeymac: Mario and Zelda Big band Live costs 50€ at amazon, while it only costs 20$ at play-asia (excluding shipping costs, which aren't too expensive either if you don't order something heavy)

I've never ordered off Play-Asia, is it safe and reliable? I usually stick to Amazon and Ebay.

PlayAsia are cool, don't worry. If you want stuff sending from Hong Kong, its the place to visit!

Play-Asia is the best import retailer I've ever done business with. They can get things from Hong Kong to me here in Texas in under 48 hours. Gotta love that!

Hong-Kong? Alright, I know I can trust that place. Okay, I'll try to remember to order it, thanks.

Thanks Dazza (and double thanks to Corbie for getting someone in the U.S to confirm that). The only thing I've ever ordered from the other side of the globe is Pokemon manga (I'm a Pokemon fanboy, who thank God dosn't own ranch
). Everything seems so expensive there though. I guess I'm gonna have to fork over 40 bucks for the galaxy soundtrack.

You know, I just realized Play-Asia is the only sponser of this site. I guess they won't be hard to find

Wow. Just realized that too. Kinda creepy

Well, it will only matter to me if this game can top MegaMan2, which I highly doubt.

I really want a soundtrack to the game, "pOp". I'm almost tempted to plugging in my media player to record them directly off my Wii via the audio output.
