I've been inconsistent as hell with #vgmwednesday but I want to start posting more video game music. Tonight, I present the 'Staff Roll' for Super Mario 64. This song has stuck with me ever since I beat Mario 64 for the first time at the age of six through the Wii Virtual Console. SM64's soundtrack in general is memorable, but this one really means a lot to me. I didn't finish many games as a kid, I often got stuck mid-way through. However, 64 was one of the few mainline Mario games I reached the ending credits of at a young age. The tune that played once the game was finished really gave me a sense of accomplishment. Listening to it now, it makes me feel nostalgic for a time I might never be able to return to. What was once a big achievement for me is now something I can easily do over a single weekend.

However, this song also makes me feel somewhat hopeful. It is almost like Mario is saying "thanks for joining me on my adventure, now go on a journey of your own".

#ChipsNCellos did an arrangement of the #MegaManDualOverride teaser music (no Proto Man whistle, though).

For #VGMWednesday I recently found a YouTube channel that does covers of video game music in the soundfont of Fire Emblem Sacred Stones on the Gameboy Advance.

Here is one of my favorite tracks from, of course, Persona 3.

I came across this guitar cover of the entire Street Fighter II OST the other day, and it hit all the nostalgia buttons!

For #vgmwednesday im picking my favourite little track from a game that has stuck with me ever since playing it all those years ago.

Is it breaking the rules if I take vocal tracks from games where music is somewhat a focus of the game? I mean, for my theme for this year's #VGMWednesday I guess I make the rules and can be as lazy as I want...

I say music is a focus of Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE, but it is more about different idols, though most characters do get their own song.

This week's song is probably my favourite from the entire soundtrack.

『Give me』is just a fantastic duet with two characters who feel they lack the charms of the other. For me there is a weird resonance to this song that I don't think I could explain in a 1,000 character limit toot. For starters, significantly more context needs to be given over this song.

It should be noted that Tokyo Mirage Sessions vocal soundtrack is good across the board, however this song hits me in my emotional core for some reason.

Give me more of that! 😂

For #VGMWednesday, here’s the main theme from #PaperMario The Origami King, since it was added to #NintendoMusic recently.

Here's an #LSDJ thing I've been working on for a while, a cover version for one of my favorite tracker tunes. This project helped me learn some new techniques and was a lot of fun to put together!
