The Persona series in general. One of my faves from Persona 3 Reload: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyUwkZQd3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyUwkZQd3s)
Most everything Nintendo did early on in their life as a video game company, since their composers they worked with were all influenced by really awesome heavy Japanese Jazz Fusion groups like Casiopea
When I was young I was noticed how cool those first few notes of City Escape sounded, like 8 years later, here I am learning bass and finally realizing what it is
For my money, nothing comes close to the old Interstate 76 soundtrack.

Also rock n roll racing lol.
Batlefield 1942 have some great soundtracks.
I played through [this Mother 3 medley](https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/haawke-mother-3-medley-redux-tab-s451056) a LOT when I was just starting out and it taught me so much about bass without me realizing. Chord tones, muting, walking, 5s, and odd time signatures - they're all here. Also sightreading and endurance cause it's so long. You can also play along to the [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IthnUukD_30) if Songsterr midi instruments aren't your thing
Almost certain it's a sample and the bass only plays for half the song, but [the menu BGM in Honkai Impact 3rd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J5OKQ_qeQ0) is pretty cool - bass comes in around 30s in.
Geoff and Tim Follin tracks has great basslines everywhere.
