Official(?) Nintendo Consoles Music Thread v2.0

The Gym Leader battle music from Sword/Shield that got me pumped, the whole spectacle of the Gym battles in the game were one of my favourite parts, the way it builds as the battle progresses is just excellent too.

Policenauts starts really well, I'll give you that!  Got nothing on Dschinghis Khan, mind.

Yep, can absolutely see Edge of Dawn would get stuck in your head.  Lost In Thoughts got stuck in mine despite me never having played the game...

I... don't actually like that version of Corneria that much?  I turn it right down so that the better Corneria can play.  The Gym theme's an absolute banger though!  I imagine a certain bald forumite might have been considering it...  Although it just brings this to mind these days.

Any Pursuit theme is a good time!  This is... not my favourite though.  I do feel for you though Rum, Jay nicking the top pick.  Could have gone for this, though.

Mas' pick definitely gets the blood flowing too (appropriate for the game).  I'm confused though, is it actually in the Mega CD version?  The track description talks about it being a 'mix'...

I've not actually played Secret of Mana, but all the other games I would have chosen from 1993 were already used! This is a fine wee tune though and is a lovely opening theme for a classic in the eyes of many.

Cosy vibes.

MORE SAX, MORE F-ZERO TRACKS PLEASE

I suck at Super Hexagon. I heard the beginning of that track so many times. So much frustration.

Yes, yes, I spotted Smurf already busted out HG/SS, but I've got a reason for using the OG soundtrack. It's purely based on nostalgic preferences, but there's something about the chirpy Gameboy sounds that speak to me in a way that the technically "better" HG/SS soundtrack doesn't.

In a series where people will usually point at the excellent Pursuit themes from AA1 or AA3, nobody talks about Edgeworth's absolute bop. This is what plays in his head whenever he updates the autopsy report in the main series, natch.

Unsurprisingly considering how long I've spent with it, I've gone for an FFXIV track. Mercifully, it's one of the better tracks in the game but I've genuinely been doing something totally unrelated and just suddenly found myself singing "la HEE *gibberish* LA HEE" or what have you. I've found myself whistling along with the wind instruments. I love the vibe of this area big time. I think once we're done with this music project, I'll be doing a big ol' FFXIV series in the Nontendo thread. That game's soundtrack is heavily praised for its soundtrack, and rightfully so.

IT'S TIME TO KICK SOME DEMON ASS HELL YEAH

The World of Illusion tune is chirpy enough but this was my first time hearing so it didn't do much.

Cappa's Banjo tune was a good'n, I've definitely had those tracks stuck in my head before.

That Cuphead one was a bit of fun.

The MBN one had real nice vibes but nothing I could latch onto get into my head.

The Policenauts opening is an all-timer, you gotta hand it to Mas on that one.

Jay's FF track was not what I was expecting but is absolutely gorgeous.

Okay, yeah, that Smash Bros Corneria is a good-ass bit of music. It takes me back to a very specific time and place, makes me excited for Smash Bros, Pizza and Coca Cola in the living room with my pals.

Cornered Music is always tense and exciting as al shit . . . JfA isn't my favourite by any stretch, but I don't think there's a bad track in the whole AA series . . .

Both Mortal Kombat themes are all time club banger hot tip top ship shape sex on the beach melt your face mad lad party sesh world class series A deluxe pumpalicious funkalicious dunkalicious knee-slapping clap tracks.

"Oooh, I'm Balla, I'm not like other girls".
That Okami track is a good'n though, to be fair.

Balla remins completely ad utterly wrong about Bayonetta music, but Cappa at least is on the money. That's some business right there.

Jay's Devil May Cry one is a bit busy but I can imagine pumpage in the moment.

I thought that SoM tune was going to be noises à la that Digimon game you keep subjecting us to.  Fortunately it morphed into a very nice intro tune!  Up there with the FF Prelude, that one.

Acoustic guitar.  I get lonely over cosy?

About time Mario Kart 8 showed up!  That's not actually my favourite tune from it (or my favourite remix of Big Blue), but that's just a testament to the game's fantastic soundtrack.

Oh look/listen, it's what Skynet thinks humans should listen to as gaming music.  I get the frustration, but this was not a fun time for my ears.

Classic 'progressing on your journey' tune, that.  I think a lot of those musics work better, for us old farts anyway, on the original systems, just because that was the time we were actually progressing on a journey rather than retreading one!

It's a Pursuit theme.  Of course it's good.

Peak Moyles outside picking Mother 3 or TWEWY, but that's a properly beautiful and sweeping tune.  My fave of the ones you posted yesterday.

Slow start, a pretty nice build-up, and then... urgh. Sorry, not for me, not this time.
