Video game fans got their money’s worth at the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Classic video game music played an important role during the traditional Parade of Nations segment of the ceremony.

It all started with the Dragon’s Quest theme, followed by Victory Fanfare from the Final Fantasy series.

The orchestra would play music from games such as Monster Hunter and Kingdom Hearts, as well as Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star and Namco’s Tales of series.

Sonic the Hedgehog fans were treated to a rendition of the Star Light Zone theme, while Nier’s Song of the Ancients was also featured.

Music by Gradius, Ace Combat and Pro Evolution Soccer were among the more surprising choices.

Soulcalibur’s powerful Brave New Stage of History closed the proceedings as the latter nations greeted fans watching on TV.

As indicated by polygon, the lack of music from famous Nintendo franchises was a bit surprising, as was the absence of Pokemon music.

Personally, I would have liked a tune or two from Dark Souls or Bloodborne, although Living Failures and Ceaseless Discharge don’t quite capture the Olympic spirit.
