Remastered music would be great (though they should probably include a toggle for the original, I know people get picky about that stuff).
I love both; but i'd give 3D World the win, yeah.
They have totally different sound teams though; Toru Minegishi and Yasuaki Iwata weren't involved, and Mahito Yokota was on sound management. Instead we had Naoto Kubo as the lead (previously worked on Captain Toad and Super Mario Maker), with Shiho Fujii (worked on a few Mario titles before this like Mario Kart 8); Koji Kondo being the only constant, contributing a few tracks as normal.
This! Maybe throw in some of that whacky Retro concept art from their cancelled boo game.
Better than one.
Fort Fire Bros is the only track from 3D world I go back and listen to. Everything else is just serviceable.
Almost every theme from Odyssey is fire. Lost Kingdom and Bowser's Castle are some of the best in the franchise.
Not at all. 3D World had very few standouts for me. Odyssey's soundtrack has less but much better music.
Guess I'm in the minority here, but I really loved almost every song for each kingdom. I am kind of biased though, because Cascade Kingdom literally brought me to tears of joy in my first play through lol. (wow what a loser) But periodically I get a few of the songs stuck in my head; Shiveria is such a banger for me because I'm such a sucker for catchy snow themes. But of course Jump Up Super Star and Break Free are both in my absolute highest of tier Mario tracks, right up there with Mario Galaxy 1 and 2's. I will say, the Galaxy games probably have a better soundtrack that I listen to more often, but it's kind of like apples to oranges in my opinion. Also yeah, 3d World's is full of bangers, but I think personally I'd give the edge to Odyssey if not just because of Jump Up Super Star. In some ways, some of the music in Odyssey feels like it's an evolution of 3d World's style.
I played through 3D World early this year and I liked the music a fair bit at the time but I haven't gone back to it -- at least, not yet. Odyssey is still on my shelf, still on my queue, still feeling blue. Looking forward to it, but every time I've always unwrapped it I've ended up sidetracked by a completely different game.
There were a few songs I liked in Odyssey
My unpopular opinion though is that Mario in general just has ok music

The Nintendo games I go back to the most to listen to their music are Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Metroid Prime. I love all 4 of these games and the music from all 4 of them are top tier. There's other games that have great tracks, but these 4 I go back to the most.
I hope Ubisoft delays Gods and Monsters to 2021 tomorrow
I need to get it off my fantasy league team

I love David Wise. I feel like he should be making music for every entertainment industry.
Wasn't Gods and Monsters a game that was suppose to release just a few months after it was announced?
What would be your dream NES/SNES game announcement for NSO?
For me it would be Lufia II. It's one of the best JRPGs of the SNES era and it's still not available on modern platforms, for some reason.
I just want to play through the Ancient Cave again, on my Switch. :(

Yep. But Ubisoft delayed almost all of their games (if not all of them) after Ghost Recon Breakpoint bombed critically and commercially IIRC
Ew. That's what the rumor is saying? A full $60 price tag per game? Minimal updates?
That sounds horrible.
Hey, same for Tropical Freeze and Metroid Prime actually. Those 2 games and Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are probably my most listened songs out of anything. Seashore War, Grassland Groove, and Scorch N' Torch are bangers.
Since DKC just got announced, idk. I'd still like Super Castlevania, DKC 2/3, and Mario All Stars to be on there
Yeah they thought they could successfully ship a AAA open world game with less than two years of development
Hilarious
No. Three games for $60, potentially four if Super Mario Galaxy 2 is included.
Lmao nooooo, all 3 games for $60 total but likely only featuring minimal updates
DKC 2 and 3 are coming, I'm sure.
Castlevania probably not, Konami will release some sort of collection down the line, at least I hope so.
I don't know what's up with Square Enix. They have not a single game on NSO, but they also aren't releasing collections since The Collections of Mana thee years ago. I would kill for the NES and SNES trilogies of Final Fantasy. And for a Lufia Collection.
Lol, imagine Nintendo trying to sell us a port of Mario 64 for 60€.
Mario All Stars, DKC 2, or Chrono Trigger (but that's not happening)
I love Amiss Abyss too. I don't have the worlds to explain his music lol. It's just too good. Just legendary music.
Super Castlevania 4 is already in the Anniversary Collection from last year. (Physical version coming soon from LRG!) But obviously I do also hope for a second collection of the later games.
Gimmick! is my NES pick; a really great game, and with Sunsoft providing some decent support for NSO it'd be nice to give the game a wider release (and actually allow me to play it in an official capacity).
I'ma be basic as hell with my SNES pick and just say DKC2, lol. I guess Chrono Trigger would be nice; but, you know, Square Enix.
The two lyrical songs are more than enough to make me love that game's soundtrack, never mind the surf rock from Steam Gardens and other great level themes like the ones you've shouted out.
(Sorry for the double notifications!)
As a release of some kind, or were you talking NSO? Since CC is a PS1 game and all. But I'd totally take a Chrono double pack!
I don't even think about that, because it's so unlikely. I rather bet on Final Fantasy I, that's at least somewhat realistic, because most people probably won't buy that individually. It's my favourite NES game.
I was thinking a double pack. I haven't played Chrono Cross in over a decade. I'd like to revisit it.
No worries!
Yeah, especially Honeylune Ridge: Escape was such a surprise at the end with Bowser, I was so full of joy and happiness.
Oh, good to know, thank you!
The old FF games would be great too. I remember having FFI and FFII collection on PSP. Square is not doing a good job with these games on Switch still.
Some companies seem to just straight-up hate money. Atlus with Persona on Switch, Square Enix with their vast back-catalog, etc.
Nintendo hates money with the lack of legacy content on Switch (N64 and GC would make SO MUCH)
Oh yeah, I don't really understand their approach either.
They could easily fill out quieter months with legacy games.
Atlus needs to stop being weird with Persona and just bring it to Switch. Same with SMT should go to other systems like PlayStation.
A lot of people have heard of him.
He piggybacks though, don't think he has original sources.
They should port Persona 4. I doubt their is a deal with Valve.
Square outright denies us Nier Remaster port while the creator of the series wants to see the series on Switch and you expect them to remaster even older forgotten game for Switch?
Yeah, Square is weird.
Should I get Metroid samus returns? I haven't touched my 3ds in a good long while and can get a good my Nintendo discount for it and want to play more of the Metroid games.
I have played the original Metroid last year.

I really liked Chrono Cross, but the consensus is not very positive. Chrono Trigger on the other hand...
