Episode 3-1: Level 3 Unlocked!

Greetings, Gamers, and welcome to Level 3! To kick our third season (and 2nd year, wow!), we've selected tunes from the 3rd level/area/stage of some of our favorite games, along with a few others we've never played! As usual when it's not a spotlight episode, we're featuring a wide range of publishers, platforms, and eras in gaming, but as always, everything follows our number one rule: It's all Very Good Music! While a couple of tracks from some of our MVPs are notably absent (no Flowers of Antimony from Shovel Knight or Threed from Earthbound???), Shootkapow and I are very proud of this list we've put together. We've also included links in the YouTube video description to the Bandcamp pages of some of our featured artists, so be sure to check them out! Thanks as always to our amazing patrons and the artists who made our show art and theme song. Links to their content can be found below the playlist on our YouTube video! You, too, can become a patron at patreon.com/vgmvgm, and you can reach out to us by e-mail at [email protected], on Twitter @Shootkapow, or by leaving us a voice message at anchor.com/vgmvgm. You can also leave us a comment on YouTube and while you're at it, please let us know if you like the video, and subscribe and ring the bell to be notified of future episodes! We look forward to hearing from you!
