Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game released in 2010, alongside the movie in cinemas, and was an amazing experience. As a beat-em-up, it didn’t bring anything new to the table, but it had an absolutely stunning chiptune soundtrack by Anamanaguchi and oozed style and charm through its gorgeous pixel art. I loved the game but when my Xbox 360 went into the loft and the game was delisted from digital storefronts in 2014, all seemed lost. But six years later, on my birthday of January 14 2021 and 10 years after it first came out, the game and soundtrack were re-released.
I pre-ordered the physical copy of the Switch game from iam8bit and the vinyl soundtrack from Vinyl Guru and can’t wait to get my mitts on them. In the meantime, to while away the wait, I’m loving listening to Anamanaguchi perform the soundtrack from their respective homes in full. It’s an awesome feat and well worth the listen. It brings back memories of when I saw them perform live in London’s Heaven in 2014… good times!
