    Game remakes you think are inferior to the original versions?

    That's surprising because for I think a majority of people, the motion controls were the one single flaw of the Wii version (having just played it after already playing the 3DS version, I'd have to agree). For that reason, I'd prefer DKCR3D just for having actual button controls to roll (I say...

    'Shroom Spotlight

    Is it possible it can be created under a different name, since afaik "Theme" seems to refer to the specific extended arrangement in DKC, not the original song (being the "theme" for DKC, not DK). I think "Opening (Donkey Kong)" would be more fitting since it's the name used in Brawl, SSB4 and...

    Your favorite video game music composers.

    David Wise - Needs no description, just wish more people recognised him as much as Kirkhope, and that he'd work on another Nintendo game Kenji Yamamoto - Metroid soundtracks are amazing, I frequently have them playing in the background and I really hope he returns for Prime 4 Hiroki Morishita -...

    Post Mario music you're listening to.

    This is better than Bonneton's theme

    What made you stop playing a game?

    I remember having so much trouble outrunning the walrus chef in Crash Twinsanity, and every time I lost all of my lives, I'd have to restart at the last save point which was SO FAR AWAY, forcing me to go through all those levels (and a boss battle!) again. I had to do that so many times while...

    Are there any spirits you think they chose the wrong character to represent?

    Using Colour Splash music for a character like Dimentio has got to be a slap in the face for some fans lol

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    Well at least this gives FF another chance to actually have music and spirits. Maybe.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    As much as I really want Crash, I'm telling myself it's just a coincidence that the announcement's a day before Crash 4's release. It's too easy.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

    A Warriors game seems like a pretty fitting way to tell the prequel story IMO. Never played Hyrule or even FE Warriors but I might give this a try, mostly because of the story and characters.

    Best bargain bin finds?

    Not my favourite games but I managed to find brand-new copies of both Uncharted 2 and 3 in a Harvey Norman bargain bin for AU$5 each back in 2015.

    Bad box arts

    I'm sorry but ever since they first showed this, I always found it stupid. Why is Claude upside-down

    Poll Talk

    Nope. As someone who can't deal with sliding-type puzzles like Rubik's cubes etc. I just found them tedious. Doesn't help that battles are pointless again anyway, so I just avoid them altogether.

    30 day video game music challenge!

    Day 30: Credits music Prisma Splash! - Paper Mario: Colour Splash Say what you will about the game but you have to admit that Colour Splash's soundtrack was one of its standouts, and I think it's a safe bet for Origami King as well. This is a nice medley of themes of the main locations in the...

    30 day video game music challenge!

    Day 29: Final boss music CROWNED - Kirby's Adventure Wii / Kirby's Return to Dream Land The Rainbow Curse/Paintbrush version is even better but it's technically not "final boss music" anymore. Still, the original is a great song.

    30 day video game music challenge!

    Day 28: Music that makes you nostalgic It's a toss-up between Crash 2 and A Hero's Tail because two of my fondest childhood gaming memories are from those games. Both have excellent soundtracks, though Crash 2 was the earliest one so I guess I'll go with that: Snow Go - Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex...

    Day 27: Music from a handheld game 5:00 p.m. - Animal Crossing: New Leaf I think it's a rule at Nintendo to make the 5 PM theme the best hourly theme in every Animal Crossing game.

    Day 26: Music you like from a game you haven't played City Ruins - Shade - NieR:Automata A friend linked me a few songs like this one from the soundtrack, which I've heard is really good. I'll get this game eventually...

    Day 25: Music that gets you pumped Playing my P5 card now! ...though this is kind of tough because I really can't choose between Life Will Change -instrumental version- - Persona 5 and Take Over - Persona 5 Royal... so I'm gonna call it a tie (they are basically from the same game)! Agreeing...

    Day 24: Music you have constantly stuck in your head I've been watching more movies than playing games so I've had more film scores stuck in my head than game tunes, though one that does come up in my head often is the Theme of Super Metroid because I keep imagining what the next Prime 4 trailer...

    Day 22: Town/village music Another one! Rito Village - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild By far my favourite village theme (and village) in the game. The music is just so comforting.

    Day 21: Music you associate with frustration Calamari Inkantation - Splatoon Because of Inner Agent 3 in Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. It sucks that that's what it's become for me. At least I'll always have Spicy Calamari Inkantation which is a million times better.

    Day 19: Cover of music by a different artist Vs. Ridley - Nintendo Land I was going to post a Smash song but since I already did one two days ago, I chose one many people likely haven't heard. Nintendo Land's soundtrack is greatly overlooked, which is a shame because like Smash, it has some of...

    Day 16: 16-Bit music Bowser - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island I posted this on another board. This is an impressive song for a SNES game and completely unexpected from a Mario game and even Koji Kondo himself. I really wish Nintendo would take a page from the Kirby series and arrange more...

    Day 15: Boss battle music Big Top Bop - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze A good enough piece to use one of my two favourite soundtracks for the day. You'd think it be some silly circus theme but nah, how about some straight-up heavy metal instead

    30 day video game music challenge!

    Day 14: Music featuring vocals The Heritors of Arcadia - Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (both versions) I feel like this song doesn't get enough attention and often gets overshadowed by Lost in Thoughts. IMO it's the better song, partly because both languages' vocals sound equally...

    Day 13: Music you like from a game you don't like Gooper Blooper - Paper Mario: Sticker Star (surprise surprise a Sticker Star mention) Music tends to be the only good thing about a lot of bad games. New Island's sassy kazoo and Other M's boring, generic orchestrated soundtrack (except Ridley's...

    Day 12: Music that makes you sad Ori, Lost In the Storm (feat Aeralie Brighton) - Ori and the Blind Forest (+ basically the rest of the soundtrack) Beautiful vocals and just goosebumps all over. And only the first minute of the game.

    Day 11: Puzzle game music Professor Layton's Theme - Professor Layton and the Curious Village Such a lovely theme; the Layton VS. Wright versions are good but they cut out the best parts of the original.

    Day 7: Music from an indie game Geothermal - Cave Story What I like about this song is that it evokes two different feelings both instances it plays. All of its later versions are great as well (a lot of people didn't like the WiiWare soundtrack but having played that version first, I personally...

    Day 6: Music that makes you feel relaxed Have to go with best game for this one: Crashed Ship - Metroid Prime Several other songs like Tallon Overworld 2 and Phendrana Battle would qualify as well.

    Day 4: Music from a console exclusive series Just for fun I was actually trying to think of a series that is exclusive to one console and I can't believe Baten Kaitos didn't cross my mind... so I'm gonna go with this one, too. My other choice would've been Train Stage - Wario Land: Super...
