for day 25, music that gets you pumped, i'm gonna go with The 13th Struggle from the Kingdom Hearts series. Yoko Shinomura is an absolutely amazing composer, and it really shows in the Kingdom Hearts series. There's a lot of boss themes in the series, but this one is the one I always remember...

at first this was one of the hardest picks for me, cause i dont really get VGM stuck in my head often because it's primarily lyricless, and all the series i'm really familiar with i've already used, and even then i still wouldnt think of them as songs i get stuck in my head often... but...

alright, for underrated music, im gonna go with A Bite Too Far from Runner 3. Despite being the third title in the long running Bit Trip Runner series (which is itself one of a number of Bit.Trip games), this game doesn't seem to get a lot of attention which is a shame cause it has a jammin'...

alright, time to get the days i missed day 20 (music from a racing game): Toad's Factory from Mario Kart Wii ...i dont play racing games ok day 21 (music you associate with frustration): ok so i've been sorta writing things down as i think of them, trying to plan ahead so i dont screw myself...

ahh, what a dilemma... my favourite cover band is the megas, but i already used mega man all the way back on day 1! i guess i'll have to find someone else... ...is what i would say, but luckily in the past couple of years, The Megas have started doing castlevania music, and it's pretty great...

alright for todays pick, we're gonna get pretty obscure again, with Jazz Be Damned from Jazz Jackrabbit 2. I was kinda surprised that this was from the year I was born when I looked up "games released in 1998" but there it was. This is a game that I grew up playing a lot, and it had a really...

for music i never get sick of, i'm going with the entire soundtrack for The World Ends With You! ...what do you mean, it has to be just one song? fiiiiiine, i guess i'll pick Calling. But seriously, the whole soundtrack is a great bop. It also helps that there's multiple songs for both the...

i think revealing the series before the actual character was just a matter of tempering expectations in advance so that people didn't get upset that they waited 6 months for a freaking arms character (no hate to arms from me but i know the majority of people, especially smash fans, are...

i've been trying to avoid featuring the same game or series as another person on the same day just for the sake of variety... but screw it, i specifically avoided using sonic for the vocal song one so i could use it today sooo i guess there's just gonna be another sonic song in the mix, and from...

oh boy day 15, cant believe its halfway through already! today we're gonna go with Boss Battle from Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. this melody is actually a series staple across various entries in the shantae series so to me it's very memorable and is one of the first things i think of when i...

for music featuring vocals, i'm gonna also take from a rhythm game and say Remix 8 from Rhythm Heaven Fever. rhythm heaven's a great rhythm game series where the gameplay and music fits so seamlessly with each other, to the point where sometimes i listen to songs like this and it feels weird...

for today's pick, im going with Into The Woods from Gunman Clive. gunman clive is a short sidescroller that was initially released on 3ds for about $2, made mostly by one dude. its kind of like mega man, but with cowboys. the reason i dont really like it is just that, well, it isn't very fun...

keeping in mind next month's dr mario theme, im putting in a vote for the big pink alien looking dude with the fangs (fourth row, third column), cause he looks like he could be good buddies with the viruses

im not always the most emotional person so im a bit hard pressed to find music that makes me genuinely sad. but that being said, i'm gonna have to pull from a series that i'm partially surprised to have not drawn from yet, which is ace attorney! AA has a lot of "Reminiscence" themes, which are...

for day 11 i'm going with BGM B Jazz from Picross 3D Round 2. i bought picross 3d round 2 off amazon for like 10 bucks while i was buying other stuff, and i tried it a little bit but just sorta let it sit and played other things cause it wasn't very story or progression based, but earlier this...

based on current lego games, i would say no, i absolutely don't think there should be a LEGO mario game. even at their best, lego games aren't as good as mario, and for the past few years lego games have been by-the-numbers, lazy reskins using the same engine as they started with 15 years ago...

ok SO since i already used the game i was gonna pick RPG battle theme from ive had the thoughts in the back of my head about what i could do, but havent decided on one yet. but as fate would have it, a particular piece of news i saw today that is otherwise pretty unnoteworthy to the majority of...

ok day 9. so after thinking about it for a bit, i realised that there's a game series i was holding off from mentioning because i thought it's soundtrack doesn't count as VGM... buuuut i realised that it does technically count as a licensed game, and there has been original songs written...

like a lot of people here i dont really play shooters, but once again my childhood with a ps2 has saved me. todays pick, for music from a shooter (third person in this case) is Metropolis, Kerwan from Ratchet and Clank 3. I played this series, and 3 in particular, a lot when i was a kid, and i...

alright this one was a really hard choice, cause theres a lot of good indie games i could have chosen from. there's a lot of other options i've considered, like hat in time, 100% orange juice... i think zange already took my top pick with crypt of the necrodancer, so for the sake of doing...

hmmm, this is a tough one... there's a couple i can think of but i want to save those games for later on in the month... ah, screw it, i'll just find something else to fill in rpg battle music my pick for today is Cerulean Woodlands from Etrian Odyssey IV. It's such a peaceful, gentle theme...

for favourite overworld theme, i'm going with The Cold Morning Star Passes By from Tales of Vesperia, which plays on the overworld during the second act of the game. it's a very grand sounding theme, and it only starts playing in the overworld after you finish up a huge part of the narrative and...

ok for today's pick, im gonna go with a game from a series which i think is pretty rad and i wish they made more games for, ape escape 3, which is exclusive to the Playstation line. the whole soundtrack for this game is pretty jammin but for the pick, i'm gonna go with Battle! Monkey Red...

ok, so intitially i was having some trouble deciding what i would go with today, since i don't have extensive experience with a lot of nes games with good soundtracks that aren't mario or mega man (which i feel are the easy way out, plus i already used mega man so want to use something...

Epic Nitwit -> Rowlf the Dog -> Epic Nitwit -> Epic the Rudolph Nitwit -> Epic Nitwit -> Hiyoko Saionji -> Fred -> Amelia -> Epic Nitwit -> Hiyoko Saionji -> Pearl -> Hotaru Tomoe -> Hanayo Koizumi -> Marika Tachibana -> Epic Nitwit -> Hanayo Koizumi -> Lying Sheep -> Aqua -> Splash -> Hulk ->...

For today's pick, Best Opening Level, I'm gonna go with The Gardens from LittleBigPlanet. Like, man, this brings back memories. It's such an upbeat song that perfectly matches the theme of the level and the start of a big adventure, and the fact that it's a dynamic song (i.e. as you progress...

User John Doe has changed their username to Vera Misham.

After doing a bit of thinking, the first one that comes to mind is the title screen theme from Mega Man 3. It's very rare that I really love a title screen theme as soon as I hear it but this is one of those cases. The slow intro, and then the buildup into the main theme... it's just great and...

ok, i must admit, i quite like the idea of strolling down memory lane and looking back at each of the avatars ive used over the years... so get ready for over 8 years worth of avatars, with some commentary along the way Whew, it took me a while, but I've finally made it through. I even picked...

well, i dont want to look like a bandwagonner, but since its clear my pick this month isn't gonna get picked anyway, i might as well add some fuel to the fire retracting my vote for the bird-themed superhero who last month was mistaken for captain falcon, even though on closer inspection they...

chucking in a vote for the bird-themed superhero who last month was mistaken for captain falcon, even though on closer inspection they actually look almost nothing alike

Two Mr. Edgeworths?! And they're arguin' with each other... What a scoop! "Man Argues With Himself About Clowns and Children While Votes Remain The Same!" Wait'll I get this to my editor, I'll get published for sure! Maybe then they'll consider accepting my think piece on Captain Falcon and...

throwing in a vote for captain falcon's short-lived rebrand that he used to try and appeal to an american, bird-loving audience

congrats to both the new mods! its been quite a while since the forum has had new staff so its good to see some fresher faces helping run things 👏

i don't watch any specifically mario-focused channels, but i figure since other people are shouting out tangenially related gaming channels, i'll put in a plug for one of my favourite youtubers, Game Maker's Toolkit. GMTK is a really great channel that makes video essays exploring various...

i also just finished pikuniku after buying it on the eshop, where it's on sale for a dollar its a fun, cute little game. reminds me of wandersong, where its more about the journey and people you meet rather than any challenging gameplay also the style of dialogue in the game reminds me of myself...

animal crossing played for an hour or two... cleaned up the island, made (and subsequently broke) a few tools, caught a bunch of bugs and fish and am currently "displaying" them around the island cause i can't donate them to the museum yet and they're taking up inventory space, paid off my...

just to play devil's advocate, there's a lot of historical precedent for an indie presentation occurring at this time of month to align with GDC, which has happened the past two years (similar to how they always have one in august, which i believe is to line up with one of the PAXes), so it's a...

i'm most like that generic NPC in any RPG town ever that sits in his house doing nothing all day

i don't really play anything these days which i would consider a 'guilty' pleasure, but certain sonic games (shadow the hedgehog, sonic r, a few others too probably) would probably fit the bill, even though i haven't really actively played them in a long while

a recent favourite of mine that i've really been enjoying that most people have likely overlooked is Picross 3D: Round 2 for the 3DS. It's really just a collection of puzzles, taking picross/nonograms and adding another dimension to it, but the design of the game (graphics, sounds and music)...

this is a hard question... theres just too many characters that i like! off the top of my head, i'll go with rosalina, waluigi, funky kong. i think theres something universally likable and appealing about characters in the mario series, so those are the ones that i think about first (also helps...

My first video game that I can remember would be Super Mario Advance, which my older brother got with a GBA for his birthday when we were kids It's definitely the first 'console' game I ever had, but that said I might have played some stuff on an old windows 98 pc around the same time period...

So it's pretty clear that, despite how many times Doug Bowser might say they're still supporting it, the 3DS has pretty much wrapped up it's lifetime, since they've basically stopped releasing games now after two years of support post-Switch release. A lot of people seem to be talking focusing...
