Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Best Official Remixes (Round One)

I voted DROP THE BOMB.

Man, I completely forgot about Celeste remixes when entering songs. That Mirror Temple song is absolutely incredible.

Two fire emblem songs? They are both against good remixes though. Agh tough choices. That green greens remix is great too, one of the best versions.

Huh. Is the NSMB theme really a remix? I always assumed it was an original composition.

The user who submitted it said it was a remix from the first SMB game (I think?) but I don’t believe that’s the case.

They have a similar feel, but yeah I don't think they're that close to each other

Oh boy, I can’t believe I forgot to submit Mirror Temple myself, it’s one of my favourite video game songs!

Is it just me or does Mirror Temple have notes that sound very similar to Aquatic Ambiance from DKC?

The songs proceeding to the next round will be Metroid: Zero Mission at 8-3, Link’s Awakening at 5-4, Persona 4 Reincarnation at 6-3, Celeste at 7-2, and Kirby Planet Robobot at 5-4.

We just got a look behind the curtains. Anyhow I’m glad Face Shrine could move on to the next round!

Tallon Overworld is one of those cases where its technically a remix but its so different it might as well be an original song. (like how no one would know the Skyward Sword theme was Zelda's theme backwards just by listening to it)

To the point that I was kinda expecting the Mission Clear music that remixes this very song to be here instead.

Dang, it hurts having to choose between Hymn of the Soul and Objection! 2016. But my heart is devoted to Ace Attorney so I know where my vote lies.

Also, hearing Tallon Overworld for the first time absolutely blew me away. Such a clever remix of Brinstar that really makes it feel more impactful.

@kkslider5552000 yeah, but you gotta admit, despite the vague remix of brinstar, Tallon Overworld is a great theme.

I voted DDR X and Beatmania IIDX songs.

@Anti-Matter Out of interest, do you actually listen to all the songs before voting?

@TeaCatherine
I have very high interest with BEMANI Rhythm games songs so I will definitely voted my songs choices.
I have lesser or no interest to vote other songs from different franchise since I have zero interest or not really interested with certain franchises. Even if I have slightly interest with some game franchise, but I still choose BEMANI Rhythm games since I grew up by BEMANI Rhythm games when I was teen.

@Anti-Matter Yeah, but even if you have no interest you should at least listen to both and then try and look at them without bias, that's what I do at least. I mean, we're judging the songs here, not the series they're from. I'm sorry, you're probably regretting unblocking me now.

That Chocobo's Dungeon track is really good, shame it's up against Snowman.

The songs proceeding to the next round will be Street Fighter V at 5-4, Smash Ultimate at 7-2, Smash Bros Brawl at 5-4, Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice at 5-4, and Metroid Prime at 6-3.
