Splatoon is a weird exception to that. I wonder if that's just because it's Splatoon or if Nintendo is trying to change their ways.

just import it from like amazon jp or something. it's not like their ost release are region locked :V
I notice this attitude a lot, that just because something isn't generally available it's suddenly "okay" to pirate it. That's not how law works.

So my only options are to pay out the ass to import physical versions from Japan?
Nintendo releases lots of music on CD. Your complaints should technically be directed towards Nintendo of America/Europe for not releasing them domestically. Just check out Amazon JP.
Though, this doesn't seem to be a Nintendo exclusive problem. Gaming soundtracks don't really get sold here from any company.

Yeah. People who pirate, should admit that they're doing something illegal. You downloaded/ripped music, you're a pirate. Oh well.
Much of these are old now but like.

There's still more I haven't listened too. List ranges from the 80's to now. The more recent stuff have been exclusive to Club Nintendo and such and I wish they weren't. I would love to see them somehow rerelease a bunch of their old albums and also make new ones and release them on iTunes and/or Amazon.
This is technically true, but the music is only sold as a physical CD at one specific physical localtion in Japan. The difference between that and not selling it at all is negligible to 99% of Nintendo fans.
I don't think anyone's arguing the legality of it, just the morality and effectiveness of it in terms of promoting Nintendo's interests. Like many other forms of piracy, this is a response to a failure on Nintendo's part to provide consumers with legitimate access to the product in question.

So no one got banned, that's good.
For a second there I was worried that SilvaGunner was the one getting the copyright strikes lol.

Weren't the Fire emblem ones only in Japan? It'd be nice if they were on itunes, spotify, etc. Even Sega does that. Not to beg or anything, but the CDs they do release tend to be limited for one reason or the other.
Pokemon is also a bit more complicated due to how the IP is owned. Nintendo aren't the sole decision makers there.
But only in Japan... :/
Gah, still misinformation going around about the original SilvaGunner.
I ran the original SilvaGunner account many years ago, and after I got banned, GilvaSunner (the one in the OP) asked me if he could create a tribute account, to which I said it was fine. So SG (me) and the current Gilva are two different people
Shame to see this, though, following my own channel's termination. Although I am surprised he has ran for as long as he has!
Ah, cool! The message did get passed to some people
Had no idea. It's a weird sitch for sure. Apologies!

I was getting scared for a second, then I realized it wasn't our Flintstone/Snow Halation/Nutshack loving ripper.
I do wish there were good ways to archiving game music. I'm a big advocator of that cause I love game music so much. I would also love for Nintendo to release their albums for more to purchase like through iTunes and such. I really believe there's a market out there and people want them. I know I would buy them all.

CD only. What is this the 90s?!
If it wasn't for my consoles, I wouldn't even be able to play and rip CDs lol.
My computers don't have disc drives and I don't have a CD player.

Game music has no excuse to be regionally and physically exclusive, especially for a company as big as Nintendo.
It's equally impressive that Xenoblade Chronicles X OST is still available on some channels too. Sony Music is rather quick to take action. We saw it the day people starting uploading the soundtrack to YouTube. There was even a thread about it before too.
I do agree with this. We need more releases in more formats and to be available worldwide.
It's not really an excuse to say it isn't available in America when Amazon Japan and a number of other sites ship to the U.S. Just because it isn't a service conveniant to you doesn't mean it is justification to pirate.
It isn't like Nintendo releases music for all their games either, the vast majority of games really don't have soundtracks. Twilight Princess is just getting one years and years later. And a lot of them now hit Amazon JP too.

You know you have no actual RIGHT in any way to get every soundtrack you want.
If a company is not releasing a soundtrack for a game it could have many reasons: Economically sense, because sales for game soundtracks are not especially good, or they can not release a soundtrack because of contracts, or they have artistic reasons and think that people should enjoy the music where it belongs... during gameplay.
This Kirby cafe soundtrack is special anyway and anyone who want it could buy the CD.
I think in this case, Kirby Cafe is exclusive to the cafe. I think it's the music that plays inside the cafe, so the 12 track CD is more like a souvenir at the gift shop. I can't seem to find it on Amazon JP.
Though I still wish they would do more worldwide releases.
I mean, didn't the cafe open like a week ago? I'll be surprised if they don't release it after it ends here soon.
It's like why we never get season sets of cartoons anymore, it's probably not profitable to do so.

Are you actually implying that I'm acting entitled because I want to purchase game soundtracks without importing them?
Do you genuinely believe there has EVER been a single soundtrack that hasn't been released because of the artistic vision of the game?
Also, how can you imply that they don't get released because "sales for game soundtracks are not especially good" when they don't even release them here for purchase outside of incredibly limited edition physical games?

so is this the same channel where theres hidden flinstones tunes in every upload? I'll miss him when hes gone. 
Nintendo hates money and giving fans what they want. This has been established long, long ago.
I dunno, I think they could find profit through different media formats. I mean, I'll still buy the CD's but I could easily see a greater return as MP3's from iTunes due to the convenience.
The Kirby Cafe music is really nice, it's an arranged compilation of songs that are very mellow. They made Zero-Two's theme kind bluesy and it's great. I would definitely buy it.

The reason people create art is to share it with the world, not keep it stashed away for it to not be enjoyed and appreciated.
Didn't know there was a *real one*.

Sure, and Nintendo has no right to my money or to expect me not to acquire the music in some other way.
Like the dude before saying ADMIT YOU'RE A PIRATE like it is a damning term. Sure, I buy whatever I can, and if something isn't for sale, I pirate it. If the game company wanted my money, should have sold that shit on their storefront/Amazon/iTunes.
It is what it is.
Playas here also need to read Larry Lessig's "Free Culture" to get why they shouldn't be stanning these companies and wanting them to have extensive copyrights in general, but that is more outside the scope of this discussion.

A lot of people here have been pirating anime and/or arcade ROMs and such for so long they see nothing morally wrong with it. They acknowledge it's technically illegal but in their minds it's 100% justified to download something they don't own so long as it's sufficiently hard to obtain or prohibitively expensive. When challenged, they will blame the rights holder for not making it available in the way they want and for a price they find acceptible.
this.

Eh. I got my Cafe soundtrack elsewhere. Ain't gonna say where though ;9
That said, I'm surprised the Cafe strike was as quick as it was, all things considered. But whatever.
Also people should stop saying the whole of Nintendo is spending their time striking down uploaded music when it's likely just 3 or 4 guys.

I thought GilvaSunner WAS SilvaGunner :/
I had heard GilvaSunner got shut down and he went back to SilvaGunner, so that's where I'm subbed now... :|
Either way this is dumb... maybe Nintendo should just upload them somewhere they can be streamed. Company is in the stone age.

No, these soundtracks are products being sold for money.
Of course, the only price that will ever be acceptable is "free".

Like as much as I appreciate people uploading CD rips, if they get shutdown, they get shutdown. They knew what they were going into when they dedicate their whole channel to upload every track of every soundtrack they come across on a platform that has a flawed copyright flagging system.
Especially when the preceding account was shutdown by Square Enix before this one git strikes.

In this case you can actually buy the soundtrack...
Perhaps they planned to release this soundtrack worldwide, but after it already got ripped and pirated, why should they bother now?
Perhaps the soundtrack for the Kirby Cafe was meant as something special you could only buy there.
Some people want all they can get, no matter if legal or illegal, and they simply don't care about other people's rights.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep. I've said this multiple times but I really don't understand why they don't release soundtracks on iTunes. It's easy money for zero effort. It's ridiculous I can buy Metroid Mariachi covers there in 4 seconds but not the originals.
