The Operative: No One Lives Forever

The Operative: No One Lives Forever
Qualification: Though "No One Lives Forever" is just the subtitle of the game, the sequel adopted it as the series' name. I've never heard the game referred to as "The Operative" before.

"'Cause no one lives forever, and evil never dies"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2whgu1i_G3c
Konami Krazy Racers

Konami Krazy Racers
Qualification: Prominently features the Japanese "Wai Wai Racing" title

"Wai wai, wai wai, Wai Wai Racing! (Alright!)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UVoC7ZergY
Soul Blade

Soul Blade
Qualification: I think singing "Edge of Soul" counts as singing "Soul Edge"

"You got to get to Edge of Soul, to carry on what you believed in from the very start
You got to get to Edge of Soul, to carry on, deep in your heart"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdfU9al-4GA
Daytona USA

Daytona USA
Qualification: He never says "USA" in this song, but I don't know what kind of nazi you'd have to be to suggest it doesn't deserve a place on this list

"Daytona-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! Daytona! Let's go away!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVlcADaT94o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiA_po8TYM
SSX

SSX
Qualification: I think the title is supposed to stand for "Snowboard Supercross", but "Super SX" is close enough, I guess

"Super SX is like the Cold War
Goin' downhill, watch for pitfalls"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWO2fZw0AFQ
Pocket Card Jockey

Pocket Card Jockey
Qualification: Vocal version of the theme song featuring the game's Japanese title appeared on the soundtrack album

"Yes, come on! Solitaiba!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PopXdfvjSM8
ChuChu Rocket!

ChuChu Rocket!
Qualification: Just the song from the Japanese TV ad. I dispute claims that it doesn't count as the theme song

"ChuChu Rocketto
Neko wa kowai!"

Just a note to say that I've created a YouTube playlist of these songs, and have swapped out some of the old links for a better listening experience. You're not allowed to skip any of the seven minutes of Savage.
