Mondo has just put up a trio of video game vinyl soundtracks. Capcom’s sadly neglected Viewtiful Joe 2 joins Animal Crossing and SEGA’s classic shooter Fantasy Zone.
Viewtiful Joe 2 comes on two LPs and is pressed in a translucent red, blue, and black vinyl, featuring 39 tracks from composers Masami Ueda and Sayaka Morita. The cover art is by Drew Wise, who also did LP covers for the Persona series.
One of the most exciting inclusions here is Fantasy Zone because it marks the first time the vinyl has been released outside of Japan (officially, anyway). The trippy shooter was one of my first SEGA Master System games growing up. Attempting to keep Opa-Opa alive while also managing money and weapons were challenging, and Hiroshi Kawaguchi’s score gets stuck in my head occasionally.
Mondo, sadly, does not give us images of the Animal Crossing or Fantasy Zone LPs. However, we know that Fantasy Zone’s LP “is pressed on 180g opaque pink vinyl, with audio sourced from the original arcade machine.” The classic arcade game’s soundtrack includes a live medley by SEGA Sound Unit [H.].
From what I’ve seen elsewhere, the Animal Crossing: Totakeke Music Instrumental Selection LP is a simple black vinyl. There’s a video of it below.
Viewtiful Joe 2 is a Mondo Exclusive and is going for $45. Fantasy Zone is only $30 while the Animal Crossing selection is a pricy $80.
