Bear McCreary Aspires to Compose a Mega Man Soundtrack
It's no secret that Bear McCreary is a longtime fan of Mega Man. The acclaimed composer, known for his work in TV, film, and games—including God of War, Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters—once again shared his desire to compose a Mega Man soundtrack in an interview with Game Reactor.
"I've really enjoyed my time working with Marvel and Star Wars. I did Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I did the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge VR experience. I was like a kid in a candy store playing with those IPs. That would be really fun. Honestly, man, I would say the dream would be to do Lord of the Rings. I'm doing it. I've been so lucky. Honestly, the pie-in-the-sky dream for me is a game one. I would love to score a Mega Man game."
"Mega Man 2 is the thing that got me into game music. I want Capcom to go back and make another Mega Man game. In fact, if you listen to a song on my Singularity record called Redshift, Redshift is built from samples that I pulled off NES hardware, Nintendo hardware. Redshift is what my Mega Man score would sound like."
Mega Man soundtracks have traditionally been composed by Capcom's internal sound team or by developers like Inti Creates. But who knows? Maybe it's time to shake things up in future entries.
