Wrestle kingdom 2 (PS2 SS2)

Here I present music from this game in its original SS2 format that`s notably bigger than ADPCM is but can easily be played in Cube media player without a necessity of picking up an interleave. You can also use vgmstream (http://hcs64.com/files/vgmstream/) to convert the files (Cube media player should do too).

What can be said about the soundtrack itself? One half of it is a throwback to good old times when Yukes composed scores to each game it developed and a must-have for fans of Smackdown soundtracks (especially WWF Smackdown! Shut your mouth). Another one contains wrestlers themes (most of them are shared with Allstar pro wrestling and King of Colosseum so use your opportunity to grab these because Allstar pro wrestling series are a lot harder to rip than Wrestle kingdom and King of Colosseum games), you can call them "Japanese stuff".

And the last thing – you shouldn`t worry about lack of the first game because the second game contains most of tracks from it.

Wrestle kingdom 1 & 2 streams* (http://anonym.to?http://mediafire.com/?u993lo335ho7r)
* – the only thing of possible concern is that I substituted an actual opening audio track from WK2 with its WK1 counterpart. They aren`t actually "counterparts" at all as the musical theme featured in openings of both games is the same however in WK2 it`s slightly longer but only because of roughly 5 secs of audience cheering put into the very beginning of the respective track.

Just in case anybody`s interested: I`ve just reupped it and this time it`s better than it has ever been as there`re not only untouched (read: lossless in terms of these games audio) streams in my packs now but also original filenames which were originally lost in the process of ripping.
All I can say about the music itself is quite short and simple: if you have ever been digging any of 5 WWF / WWE SmackDown! original soundtracks then checking the 2nd game`s rip (or better both as not 100% of the 1st title music was transferred to its sequel) is a must. It applies to anything not tagged with prefix "bgm_d0" (those are entrance themes which are pretty diverse in style and sometimes they even enter grounds belonging to J-Rock / J-Pop / dance / traditional Japanese and all kinds of easy listening genres) at least (however the ones only interested in spiritual successors of SD fighting themes can also throw away most "bgm0"-prefixed tracks as well). I personally absolutely love WK2 compositions with names starting with either "game" and "menu" words as they sound as close to SD4 (IE "Shut your mouth", my most favorite of all 5 iterations) as they get.

Update: I`ve also stuck kind of "light" version into this pile of awesomesauce on a huge Yuke`s plate of offerings. It`s light not only in terms of size but also in regards to difficulty of playing the tracks back as all the tracks contained in the newest pack come from X360 ver. of the game which appeared to be even easier to rip than I expected having remembered my experience with versions of UFC 2009 & WWE LoWM on the same platform.

Is there any chance of re-upping this?

I`m not quite sure if it`s even needed as that original folder still seems to be perfectly fine and unaltered in any way but anyway here (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/u993lo335ho7r/WKI%26II%40PSII%26XCCCLX) it is. Both files above contain rip of the sequel while 2 parts of an archive just below it contain files ripped off PS2 version of Wrestle kingdom #1. Oh and the bottom one represents X360 port of WK1.
