Yeah, that's Wii music alright. Ambient, not especially melodic (Mii Maker being an exception), highly relaxing.

Wonder if the Wii Shop Channel (not to be confused with the eShop) will reuse the old music...

Richie · Nov 11, 2012

Don't wanna spoil myself just yet. Only heard the Parental Controls', because I'm never using that.

Damn, for what it is, quite good!

...Ye know, I'm aware both are unrelated and all, but it is a bit of a tease to see these atmospheric, enjoyable new compositions for the Wii U's OS, while NSMBU reuses old music...

Is Nintendo the only company that currently puts music in software menus like this? I can't remember any music from my 360 or PS3.

I probably am just hallucinating, but I could have sworn there was some ambient music on the PS3.

Vita has music in the menus.

rekameohs · Nov 11, 2012

Nice, but it'll be tough topping the Wii Shop Channel theme.

ArynCrinn · Nov 11, 2012

I like it, didn't expect music like this and I'm pleasantly surprised!

7 second boot up music? Seems like Wii u takes forever to boot up confirmed.

Really though, why does it feel so long?

Gamecube is about 7 seconds as well. But you're right, it still feels longer.

Medalion · Nov 11, 2012

Nintendo systems always have great memorable music

This time around, very ambient, spacey, relaxing... it does evoke a certain sense of the Gamecube start up menu

Conor 419 · Nov 11, 2012

Fuck this music rox.

Macho Madness · Nov 11, 2012

Kids like music, so I'm not surprised.

Gianni Merryman · Nov 11, 2012

Full album available?!
I cannot believe someone is really going to buy a Wii U system OST...

Nice background music btw.

Vita has menu music and, more importantly, it can be turned off, which is an option I'd love to have on every console/handheld that has menu music.

e: beaten

Mat00r systems have no music!

That Mii Maker piece is fantastic.

Phazon · Nov 11, 2012

Sounds really relaxing, I like the sounds

kitsuneyo · Nov 11, 2012

It would be good if they change the music once every year or so, like on the Sky+ programme guide.

I love that Mii Maker music

This stuff is like a friendlier BoC!

Olaeh · Nov 11, 2012

Every track posted is absolutely superb! Hype levels just keep rising...

Man there's some pretty good tracks in there

Medalion · Nov 11, 2012

This is the kind of music would have killed for in the Wii games, but are now OS standard *sniffs*

nextgeneration · Nov 11, 2012

Wow, this is some nice music. Never expected this. Very awesome!

Your guess is as good as mine.

The reason there is no eShop music yet is because you cannot get to the eShop without the system update on Nov 18

Listening to the Wii U Mii Maker music, and it's like a blend of the Wii Shop music with hints of the Great Fairy Fountain music from Ocarina of Time. The fuck? This is amazing.

The great fairly fountain is in turn on permanent loan from Super Mario Bros 3.

But like Bush=Cloud, everyone knew that, right?

Mii Maker music OMFG

Mii Maker music is amazing.

ASTROID2 · Nov 11, 2012

That menu music is very soothing.

Risgroo · Nov 11, 2012

Fits right into my secret underwater lair.

Zee-Row · Nov 11, 2012

I love the Wii Shop channel music BTW , its so damn catchy! if only the shop itself didn't suck.

Canis lupus · Nov 11, 2012

Relaxing.

Sammy Samusu · Nov 11, 2012

Mii Maker sounds like Xenolbade, djshfsdjkfhsdjkfh.

Worst Nintendo shop theme imo

brumx · Nov 11, 2012

Nobody will ever top PS1 or Saturn boot up music.

Ryoku · Nov 11, 2012

Wow. It feels serene and clean. I like it--especially the Mii Maker music.

Zee-Row · Nov 11, 2012

DSi shop music is pretty catchy too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvBBQHBE-1A

Maybe the home music will grow on me. I'm not a super fan.

Only for the first 30-60 seconds that I owned one.

Wow there's like a song variation for every little option in there.

Medalion · Nov 11, 2012

I'm getting a Pikmin/Mario Galaxy vibe all over the music

Skiesofwonder · Nov 11, 2012

I absolutely loved the Mii Contest Channel music, so catchy! I never really used the software, but sometimes I would boot the channel up just to hear the music.

Starts at the 23 second

I'll wait for next Sunday to first hear the WiiU music, I like a having little unknown when I boot up a new console for the first time.

Oni Link 666 · Nov 11, 2012

Very nice music.

Violin tuning when you turned it on. That's it, though.

Red UFO · Nov 11, 2012

The shop music is what really matters.

Effect · Nov 11, 2012

It's like they went to the Zelda or Mario Galaxy team told them to make menu music. Which is likely what happen. Sounds good.

Keyouta · Nov 11, 2012

Xbox 360's boot at launch, 11 seconds
