I got the Link Between Worlds theme, I like the Zelda tune playing in the menu

I got both Zeldas and now they interchange every time you reset/go to sleep mode with the new feature. Really happy with that. Could even use another Zelda theme to shuffle between them. For the 2DS, I have a Pikmin, Shovel Knight and a Smash Bros. (using Smash Bros.)

Which music is on the LBW theme ? (Lorule Overworld 2 ? (i.e ALTP Dark World Remix)). If it is I will get it.

So now this is the main theme talk thread?

I think this is the second or third time we change threads for that purpose

is there any video of the new metal gear solid 3 design/theme?

I'm still in disbelief as to how disgustingly overpriced these are. These themes are $2.60 each in Australia. To put this price in perspective, Gunman Clive is 10c cheaper, and you get a beautiful, polished game with decent replay value. Fractured Souls is now $2.99 in the Australian eShop, just 40c more than the average theme, which also provides something far more substantial than just a wallpaper (PC wallpapers are generally free, no?) and music lifted from an already released game. Some have pointed out that Sony's pricing is very similar, but that does not concern me as Nintendo should be above that. Nintendo should be the one setting trends and standards in the industry, not the alternative.

These themes would have taken little to no time to put together and are mainly comprised of existing assets. I can understand if they had opted to charge $2.60 for a pack of say, five themes, but for ONE theme? Sorry, but I'm not going to pay for a single theme until (if?) they come down in price.

Encouraging this sort of practice will only lead to Nintendo further nickel and diming us in the future, and I would hate to see them stoop to the lows that others before them have sunk to. I love Nintendo, but I do not wish for them to reduce themselves to a lesser of other evils.

It's called supply and demand. No one is forced to buy them. I bought one and already got another two for free. Well, I'd like you could also buy them with play coins. But I don't mind them charging for themes, the 3DS still works the same without them. And the fact that some argue about the price reflects that they are desirable even for many that are not willing to pay for them (at current prices or lower) so good for Nintendo if they can get something out of themes. That's money that will help release new games.

sonic is still the only free theme for NA.

@Undead_terror omg, that would be rather cool actually!! Game & Watch theme is a trick that Nintendo has obviously missed!!
In Europe (I'm UK) the most recent free theme we got was the Persona Q2 theme (2019)

Here are the others we've had (in ascending order):

Etrian Odyssey Nexus
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux
Radiant Historia: Chibi
