King of Fighters 96 music

(1/3) > >>

MLX:
So huh, I've noticed that at least one of the King of Fighters 96's tune is based on some older song; New York's not my home by Jim Croce.

Check for yourself:

Now that just makes me wonder what Hummer Team's other original tracks are based on...

KimKaphwanAndKnuckles:
I had a look on The Cutting Room Floor and as a KOF fan (hence my name) I can say that one of the songs is in fact Esaka from the original game. The music in the dock/Iori Women Team stage is the Art of Fighting team's theme from KOF '98 (if you've played the game before, you'll recognize the theme at the 0:15/0:16 mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXSD6LY5HEc originally it was Todoh's theme from Art of Fighting, but since KOF '98 came out the same year as Hummer's '96 did...)

GermanOffspringDude:
All right, just to be sure I checked through the other songs on the album, and I think track 11 here is a cover of Time In A Bottle, though very corrupted:

Other tracks from the album also sound a bit similar to '96s, but I'm pretty sure on this one.

GermanOffspringDude:
A thought just entered my mind - could some of the tracks (both used and unused) be early versions of Final Fight 3 songs, before it was rushed into production and Hummer slapped Mighty Final Fight onto it? I'm giving the FF3 (the SNES original) soundtrack a listen as I type, but so far nothing familiar-sounding.
