When you forget it’s mario and luigi, not kingdom hearts

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

It does indeed sound quite Kingdom Hearts-like... which as far as I'm concerned is a very good thing! 8/10.

More Pokémon (and more water-related, as it so happens), but with a twist this time:



(Yeah, I know I'm totally cheating here.)

 

[TeaWest]

It's a good song anyway, even if it is a remix! I like how it got changed into a major key 8/10

Here's a track from Ace Combat 2. This is one of my least favorite AC games but the soundtrack is amazing.

You can never go wrong with Okami music. Solid 9/10.

Let's go with some more Manabu Namiki today. You, the player, obey the orders of the "leader bee" without question. If you don't, you will be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam.

7/10. Sounds like an anime opening.



Also, in the comments of the Paper Jam music that @returnofMCH posted, people are imagining a Mario RPG version of Kingdom Hearts, and it's brilliant.

9/10
I like it, it's nice and boppin'.

Spoiler: Did you really think you could defeat me by transforming into a rockin' soundtrack?

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I thought this was Shadow's theme, and some of the lyrics are... weird. Still, it's fine to listen to. 5/10.

 

[Juliko]

Very nice and pretty! 8/10

I'm kinda cheating with this one a bit, as it's a remix of a video game theme than the official one. But I just love the remix so much, though I will put the original on here, too.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

10/10. Sounds both dramatic and peaceful, and reminds me of Elemental Sanctuary from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

 

[TouyaShiro]

This theme is top. 9/10 from me!

For those of you who know about the work of Jake Kaufman, otherwise known as "virt", you might know him primarily for his contributions to games done by WayForward, or indie game powerhouse Shovel Knight. Well, did you know he was once colleagues with the members of Basiscape? During his tenure there, he was brought on to rearrange the soundtrack to Ketsui ~Kizunajigokutachi~ (originally composed by Manabu Namiki) for DO-DON-PACHI DAI-FUKKATSU BLACK LABEL's Xbox 360 physical release, the disc of which included an exclusive BLACK LABEL Arrange mode which crossed the main Daifukkatsu BLACK LABEL gameplay with that of Ketsui.

Spoiler: More in-depth!

While it's otherwise a standard game of BLACK LABEL, the addition of the chips system, Ketsui's true final boss Evaccaneer DOOM being crossed over with Dodonpachi series mainstay Hibachi to create the new true final boss HIVAC, the Tiger Schwert helicopter player ship being the only choice of ship (though you can choose from the three Styles, and it has two extra options as well as the Hyper Counter system), this very soundtrack - and heck, even the 360 box art (which also serves as the title screen for BLACK LABEL Arrange) - are all inspired by or imported straight from Ketsui. As a result, many fans dub this crossover mode "Ketsuipachi".

Today, I show you the second song of the album, the song for stage 1 of this unique crossover. This is INTERCEPTION - Town in Upheaval, as arranged by Jake Kaufman!

7/10 Sounds rather like generic...metal, I think, but not bad.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

It's dramatic, and reminds me of the Stone Tower Temple theme Majora's Mask, but being a sweeping orchestral piece with no clear melody, it's not my cup of tea.


(By the way, have any Nintendo Channel videos been uploaded to YouTube?)

 

[Juliko]

Nice and catchy! 8/10!

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I've never played Chrono Trigger, but I can tell that the main melody is the main theme of the game. It's a great sweeping overture that encompasses a variety of emotions.

Speaking of Square Enix...

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

I remember this from Final Fantasy Adventure (or whatever else it was called) on the original Game Boy, and it was quite a beautiful song... especially for an 8-bit system. And it's even more so here on the significantly more capable sound hardware of the DS, even if I think that there are even better versions of this song out there overall. 8/10.

And speaking of songs that sound better on significantly more capable sound hardware:



(And no, I'm actually not cheating this time!)

 

[ReturnofMCH]

9/10 one of my favorite town themes in the series.
the FFXV remixes for dissdia NT are finally out.

7.5/10

 

[Trainer Gabriel]

8/10 That is quite nice.

Here's a remix of a theme I posted at this time last year:


Merry Christmas!

 

[Nitro Indigo]

5/10. Sounds like a cheap MIDI in parts.
