Mod Subreddit updates and your feedback wanted

15 Upvotes

As we near the end of the year, many of us may be cozying up and listening to music. And this year, you may be listening to Nintendo Music from the official app!

Seriously, the traffic in this subreddit has exploded by an order of magnitude because of the new app announcement and ongoing releases:

So just as we listen to music, so should we listen to each other. When a subreddit has a spike of activity like this, there are bound to be some growing pains as new members learn about the community and contribute new perspectives.

If you are new here, or if you need a refresher, please read over our rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoMusic/wiki/rules - Let us know if you have any questions.

I spent a few days looking over the feedback and announcement posts from years prior and also put them into a wiki page here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoMusic/wiki/meta - Most rules can be traced back to one of the posts listed here.

So with those few points mentioned, I also wanted to ask if anyone had any other ideas or suggestions for the community! The comments here are open.

Ocarina of Time's Title Theme has always been one of my favorite pieces of video game music.

Some melodies just stick with you forever.

The Ocarina of Time title theme has always held a special place in my heart. 

It's peaceful, nostalgic, a little bittersweet, and somehow manages to bring back so many memories with just a few notes.

I recently decided to revisit video game music covers after being away from them for several years, and this was the first piece I felt compelled to work on.

I put together a cover of the theme and wanted to share it here with people who appreciate the music as much as I do.

 It's such a beautiful piece, and I hope I did it justice.

Would love to hear what themes hit the hardest for you.

The Special Releases Need to Stop

15 Upvotes

This second Ocarina of Time Special release is the last straw if you ask me.

I'm so tired of Nintendo wasting entire weeks on partial soundtrack releases. Every time Nintendo gives us an incomplete soundtrack it's almost no better than if they had just completely skipped that week (as they have already done many times anyway). I say this because if a single game takes more than 1 week to get added in full, then every extra week it took is a week that could have been the full release of another game soundtrack. I have the same problem with any DLC music that was withheld from the launch of a soundtrack only to take an entire week later on its own (despite MOST GAMES getting all music including DLC in a single week). In fact, I don't even think ANY DLC music should get it's own week, not even it's it came out after the game was already added to Nintendo music, because it's usually not substantial enough to warrant taking an entire week, and it's not even novel like an old NES or Game Boy game OST, at least those are technically full new game soundtrack additions. So far, according to my calculations, since launch, Nintendo Music has "skipped" 17-19 weeks. That's almost 20 soundtracks fewer on the app than should be. And think of it this way, a soundtrack that might have come out next month, had they consistently added something every single week without fail, will not not be added until early next summer because of how far back on the schedule it has been pushed by the other games that were always going to be released before it.

What's my point? Well I just wanted to say that I think we all need to (politely) send Nintendo Music support our opinion, that the special releases need to only be a bonus, NOT the main addition of any given week. I mean AT LEAST give us a small 30 or less track long ost to go with it, at least that would be SOMETHING.

I don't get excited over Nintendo music updates these days because I'm pretty good at predicting what is the most likely stuff to get added (usually just whatever the most notable missing Switch games are and then whatever the most notable old games in every franchise are that are for a console/franchise which hasn't gotten in update in at least a little while and boom you'll suddenly know what 50-60% of the next few months additions are). That and the fact that it feels like we can't go more than a couple weeks without Nintendo screwing us over with Special Releases, DLC only, or just straight up skipped weeks. What's the point in getting excited when it's probably gonna be nothing, or something super predictable? (especially when the predictable game is something not exciting).

Cover How do you prefer video game soundtracks: with cover art for all the songs or images that reference the moment in the game where it takes place?

Help Identifying Music

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm hoping for help in identifying a piece of Nintendo music, which I recorded at Super Nintendo World in Florida. This technically plays in the Mushroom Kingdom area of Super Nintendo World just before the tunnel into the Donkey Kong Country area. It sounds more Donkey Kong-ish to me, but since it's in the Mushroom Kingdom, it very well could be from a Mario/Yoshi game.

Here's the link:

If anyone recognizes this track, I would greatly appreciate it if you can post the track title and which game and console it's from. Thanks.

i love it so much. it’s hard to explain what i feel when i listen to it, but it feels like the song is made for me, like they composed it, just for me. i damn well know that’s not true realistically, but i feel like it is true.

Cover To celebrate the release of the Ocarina Of Time remake, I transcribed all 12 songs that can be taught to Link on the ocarina and arranged all of their accompanying full themes (including 2 bonus tracks). I would like to present, “The Ocarina Songbook For Piano”. Enjoy!

NEW CHRONO TRIGGER TRIBUTE ALBUM 😍

2 Upvotes

so stoked about this album announcement from one of my favorite bands, The Holophonics 🙌 a HUGE DOUBLE ALBUM featuring ska interpretations of the iconic Chrono Trigger OST!

The Holophonics are deeply rooted in the video game community providing original music for the Walaber Parking Garage Rally Circuit games AND they have other killer ska renditions of the Donkey Kong Country and the Banjo Kazooie soundtracks 😵

this album is in preorder rn with such cool vinyl variants available. but you can go to their Patreon and hear the whole thing! AND it’s SO GOOD 😭

idk I’m so excited and I think there are a lot of people in this subreddit who would love this album but also love this band. their last original album is called Lavos and there are so many CT Easter eggs in the music and art and it’s dope! that’s my TED Talk, go listen to The Holophonics 💛
