Back in the day when I was active on the forums I ran a tournament where the community would vote on the best videogame music. It’s been a few years since I stopped so I’m not sure if there’s anyone still around that remembers, but with all the free time at my disposal I thought I’d try reviving the idea. If people are interested then we can decide on a theme and start nominating tracks. More so than deciding a definitive “best” song, I think this is just a fun way to appreciate and discover new music from games you may not have played.
As far as the format is concerned, once we decide on a theme (music from a particular series, boss themes, music from water levels/areas, etc.), each person will be allowed to nominate whatever songs they think fit the best. I will then enter them all in a randomized bracket and post polls so we can vote which songs move on to the next round until we have a winner. If you have any questions or ideas feel free to share!

@Link-Hero We may have to bring back other and new community events as a whole to reawaken the spark of tourneys like this one otherwise this may lead to quickened uninterest.
Let give this a try anyway.
@ThePirateCaptain I suggest to keep it simple like a preset songs tourney then rev it up for later tourneys so fan-chosen ones can be done for later.
Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.
@Link-Hero Why lock a thread just because it doesn’t appeal to some people? I think it should still exist, even if some people don’t want a competition.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
I'd be down to participate and I imagine when it launches proper it'll catch on again. Just need to do something that most people will be interested in, so what would be an exceptionally cool category?

Sorry guys, I’m still getting used to checking the forums regularly again. There’s a few people interested so I think we can give it a shot and see how things go. If everyone is onboard with Title Themes as a category then we can go ahead and open nominations. The goal is to get to 32 songs total so 3-4 songs per person should be a good start and we can adjust as needed.
