Please Nintendo, patch Yoshi's New Island's music... :(
- Thread starter NR1
- Start date
What? Have you listened to any of the Mario Kart 8 music?
Not yet , I'm just going by New Super Mario Bros U , Super Mario 3D world and Donkey Kong Country jungle Freeze which is what i've recently played. Fun games but the music in those games don't do it for me.
Wat... Jungle Freeze has one of the best soundtracks in a (Nintendo) game in years.
I'm sure people like it , I just don't. Honestly I don't like game music in general today , nothing is humable like it was in the 8-bit , 16-bit and 32-bit eras. Game music today reminds me too much of Hollywood productions.

Ok, so here's some of the music from the upcoming music patch. I like the new tracks a lot more.
Since that's originally a 16-bit song, I really wouldn't use that as an example...

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Yet it manages to fit into a soundtrack with gems like Mangrove Cove, the first level in the game, a song I can easily hum along to.
I dunno, I don't think it's changed drastically at all.

Very disappointed in Takashi Tezuka's "producing" this game.
I just can't believe he in good conscience approved such fucking terrible music. Like really, I've been playing Nintendo games for decades and Yoshi's New Island really is one of their worst 1st-party soundtracks.
Nocturne is probably the greatest gaming music atrocity ever committed. Central City is a terrible remix of Diamond Dust. Nocturne is a complete desecration of one of the best pieces of Sonic music and one of the best boss themes ever.

Don't forget the "great" remix of Green Hill Zone's music. It's amazing how bad the OST is in that abomination of a game.

Surely you don't mean the cave theme?
Sounds like shy guys having a orgy. ~ youtube comment
It just keeps getting better and better.
Pretty much how I feel.
The worst of Yoshi's New Island, or even the stuff like that drunk clown music from Resident Evil, will never hold a candle to Nocturne. That shit is destroying a classic. The Sonic 3 final boss music is the greatest final boss music in video games.
It's not the music. It's the fact he's ruined the Yoshi series since the first Island game. I'm sure it was on his efforts that people like Artoon even got a crack at this series.
If we're talking music, he's also been involved with the NSMB series, which happens to have some of the worst music for the Mario series...
For a second I thought they were ripping off The Residents.

This comparison doesn't seem equivalent at all, though. Every single stage song in Super Mario 64 was not based around the exact same chords or motif, and those that did made it varied enough that they sound like completely different and unique songs.
In NYI, though, it feels like you've already heard the same song a thousand times already as the same weak motif conspicuously makes itself known in nearly every song, doing little to create anything interesting with it. After a while, it sticks out like a sore thumb and bothers you.

I had heard bad things but after listening to some of these...
What the fuck were they thinking greenlighting that? This is terrible. It extra bad given how most of their games in the last couple years have absolutely knocked it out of the park in terms of soundtrack. God damn it Arzest.
My sides hurt.

I edited my post to fix that.
Yoshi's New Island OST is like if you had an orchestra made up of people like this guy, minus the fact that he does this as a joke.
If you're on a time crunch, skip to the 3 minute mark, but otherwise, the buildup makes it all the funnier.

The game actually has quite a few decent tracks.

Oh my God. I skipped over this game, mostly due the presentation, but I had no idea the music was this bad. The Yoshi Clan song sounds like a Tim and Eric joke.

I almost bought this game.
Now I don't want to get near someone playing it. Thx. Helped me save some money for MK8.

Laughin a lot now that I saw the vids people are linking here. I think I woke up my entire neighborhood (4AM here).
Crazy stuff to watch at this hour.

Well, Mangrove Cove is nothing really special and confirms his statement, but the underwater version of that is just amazing:

I can't believe Nintendo let this slip through their crap filter. Holy crap.
