The Best of Retro VGM #3260 - Game Center CX: 3-choume no Arino (3DS) - Saurus Boy ~ Stage Theme 2

Specter227 2024-04-01 | [Since it's The Best of Retro VGM's 10th anniversary this year, I thought spending the entire April focusing on not-so-mid music from mid games would be funny. My criteria for a mid game (at least when this playlist is concerned) is a game that's bad, divisive, disappointing, or forgettable. Funnily enough, this was one of the harder playlists to put together as I really wanted to be as objective as possible with my choices (although I couldn't help myself and there are a couple of my own hot takes featured). As usual with my sets, I wanted to include a decent mix of well-known stuff and obscure things most people have never heard about. I hope you'll enjoy the ride.]
