I feel like the soundtrack for castlevania IV is pretty overlooked and had some really fantastic tunes
NO PIZAZ, can't you read the sign?
I think Time Commando has some pretty aesthetic tunes in its soundtrack. Prehistory is one of my favourites, but it's got aesthetic stuff littered throughout.
Also Gex: Enter The Gecko.
What about the mall rooftop from yume nikki
oh man ! you just remmebered me the existend of roll away, i used to play that game as a kid and to love it, it was so non sensical but great
Okay literally none of the games I'm about to mention have aesthetic or vaporwave visuals or music, but the whole Cuphead soundtrack, Spanish Sahara from Life is Strange, the Save Room theme from Resident Evil 0, the whole Mario Kart Wii soundtrack, the X-Naut Fortress music from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, the music box songs from FNaF, the whole Undertale soundtrack, Final Fantasy battle music, the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask, and Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time always hit me right in the nostalgia. I'm pretty young so my nostalgia is in different places obviously, but holy heck I love all of these games and their soundtracks
omgg freddie fish was my everything
You forget Harvest Moon Back to Nature of PS1,great a e s t h e t i c game
Most aesthetic video game song right here, Pad: https://youtu.be/eiaQdcX3CfY
Goldeneye 64 – Facility
i think code veronica – save room from resident evil./ track is a cool one to note*
Banjo Kazooie, when you hit the top of the mountain on the beach world.
The white noise wind whistles.
i think i'd like to add the new tetris to this list. i've never played it, but i've listened to the music and it's quite aesthetic.
The intro wasn’t necessary
A few Gran Turismo menu songs are kinda vaporwave like
Welp guess I have to play LEGO island again for the 1846749th time
are you ready to le
silent hill 1 & 2 has the beat soundtracks and gameplay experience in gaming history
Almost anything from Mario Paint or Earthbound has strong aesthetics, though I don't know if they would classify as vaporwave style.
with me I'd say
10. History- Sonic mega collection
9. Angler's Tunnel- Link's awakening remake
8. Star city- Diddy kong racing
7. the entire astro boy the omega factor soundtrack
6. Cascade caper- Donkey kong country 3 (GBA version)
5. Pilotwings 64 Glider theme
4. Space queens- Sonic X-treme (cancelled Saturn game)
3. Main menu- Inspector Gadget crazy maze
2. The entire majora's mask soundtrack
1. The entire ocarina of time soundtrack
That Donkey Kong Country aquatic track got me into Vaporwave…powercut used it for ‘me and my vector’
There was this game that I had for the N64 called Glover and it has some songs that can go on this list..
Here are some links for anyone who wants to check them out (I promise I'm not baiting you into one of my videos or anything like that)

the water level theme from jazz jackrabbit 2!
A lot of Nintendo on here so I thought I’d suggest some “aesthetic” Sega tracks to add to the list. I recommend everybody checks out the Ecco the Dolphin’s soundtrack – specifically the Sega CD version. Also the Nights into Dreams soundtrack on Sega Saturn is surreal and dreamy. Enjoy!
THE YUGIOH SONG AND LEGO ISLAND IS SO NOSTALGICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC MY CHILDHOOOOOD
the soundtrack to ghost in the shell sac (ps2) is aesthetic af
You could've included the wifi menu for mario kart wii
Finally someone touches on Yugioh forbidden memories library music, i would spend hours just scrolling through library looking at cards and jank 3D models while listening to this it's almost therapeutic 🙂
Im just here chillin with Shin Megami Tensei IV's: Tokyo map for daysssss. Idk that much about music, but the music feels like a chaotic depressing remnants of tokyo, but it still has life and activities underground.
The madness that is the Evergrace OST
Some of my favorite aesthetic video game songs come from Super monkey ball
Aquatic Ambience is so good, and slightly sombre
Stickerbrush Symphony in DKC2 is also amazing. Video game music really deserves its due with music nerds cause it had so much inspiration in Vaporwave and Hip-Hop.
A few recommendations that I don’t think others have mentioned:
-Anodyne 1&2 (and other Analgesic Production games): Definitely some aesthetic driven games to a degree, but just very unique, strange games. The music is a mix of ambient music and slightly more melodic and upbeat songs. Hard to describe, but both lovely soundtracks.
-Super Monkey Ball Series has some super nice tunes
-Ecco: Defender of the Future (the other ecco games too – like, c’mon, it’s too on the nose)
-Spyro 2&3 have some really catchy tunes.
-Gimmick/Mr. Gimmick for the NES (absolutely amazing NES soundtrack, with the beach theme especially fitting the bill for vaporwave aesthetics)
Kirby’s Return to DreamlandAurora Area-Since Vaporwave artists love weird old games, MOON: Remix RPG Adventure has great music of many genres.
What's poppin' Jimbo?
megaman legends/64 mall music
I want a youtube reverb button ;-;
Wipeout hd for the PS3
BuT mOm, iT’s My aEsTHetTic!
Super smash bros melee – trophy stage
The only thing close to aesthetic music that I heard is Beat of Terror from Ys Book I & II
Bomberman Hero – Redial and
Pokemon Platinum – Route 201
Literally any music from the n64 and ps1 most of my favorite osts and tracks come from those games from those amazing consoles
I love Mario Kart, but Diddy Kong Racing was the better game between the two. It sucks that we never got a series out of it.
My all time favourite will always be the theme from 3D pinball space cadet.
Pad, go listen to Yume 2kki OST, Frogger [ps1] OST, DKC2 OST and Route 216 from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. Phenomenal aesthetic soundtracks you didn't mention!
Bummed I didn't see any MegaMan on here,some of those older games have tracks that would have fit perfectly
You’re just gonna do the Forest Temple like that huh
Lovely video, i agree that all of them are nostalgic and very very beautiful in their own way, pure magic, i'll try to take samples from those as well ;)) love for you buddy <3
I just love the information center from Lego Island, there's just something about it man.
Literally the entire soundtrack of C-DI Tetris is very aesthetic.
