Classic Konami tunes coming soon to an iPod, mobile phone near you

Yearning to hear some geek nostalgia blasting out of your iPod? Here’s your chance. According to Next Generation, Konami and Sony BMG Music Entertainment have inked a deal that will bring Konami’s library of music to major online music retailers such as iTunes and Rhapsody.

This will be the first time that original music from Konami titles will be available through digital distribution (we’re guessing they mean legal distribution here). Some of the featured music included in the deal will come from popular video game franchises including Contra, Castlevania, and Silent Hill.

Next Generation also reports that Konami has said in a statement that the music will also be downloadable through major mobile carriers as well as the official Konami website. To celebrate, here’s a vid of one of the best Contra theme covers ever by the insanely great Minibosses.
