I would like to use this thread to list and provide catnumbers for all soundtracks which contain music from handheld games, whether original or arranged. Such music forms a rather small fraction of CD/tape releases of video game music, it seems, and it would therefore be quite possible to make this topic into a fairly accurate reference for people who wish to know what handhelds games have been represented in some form or another in album releases.
Er.....basically, I'd appreciate it if you guys would mention as many soundtracks for handheld games (or soundtracks on which handheld music is there, even if not the focus), keeping in mind the guidelines I've put below.
Please us English names when applicable!
Please do not mention soundtracks to games that have been ported to handhelds (such as Final Fantasy IV or Megaman Legends), unless they got a soundtrack release for the portable version. Also, please don't mentions games that draw some of their music from games with released soundtracks (Guilty Gear Petit 1&2&Advance, Zelda: Minish Cap), unless of course they got their own soundtrack release.
You do not have to use the format below! Just inform me of the existence and any important details!
I will be editing and updating this as new information is found/contributed, so it will hopefully become a useful resource for this sometimes neglected area of VGM. For the most part, I have chosen not to include single track samples, such as Lethal Strike (FFL2) being on the Kenji Ito × SaGa Battle Music Collection.
Thanks!

*3. Contains both DS and PC-88 versions of the original music
*4. Contains both DS and original sound sources.
*5. May be the audio from the original Game Boy titles, but it's unlikely
*6. Contains the music from the Turbo CD original, the PSP 'remake' and a bit of new SOTN stuff
.........whew. All I know of at the moment that I'm missing is SMT: Devil Children, and to be honest, that's a headache for another day.
