Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Best City / Urban Theme (Round Two)

@Anti-Matter I wondered the same thing, myself. It seems very open to interpretation.

If credits wins I’m so nominating for one way dream.

@Anti-Matter I think it would just be any song that is calm or cozy, like Lo-fi songs.

I’d say it’s like the various house interior themes from the legend of zelda, or an inn theme. Music for places that make you feel safe and like you can relax for a bit.

Cozy themes was one I added and really is open to interpretation from each person. Any kind of song that makes you feel comfortable or at home is sort of the idea like @Eel said.

I wonder if the shop theme from Ocarina Of Time would count as a cozy theme, or maybe the Hyrule Plaza from OoT. Or am I completely off here

@TheBigBlue It could if it makes you feel cozy. It’s completely left to your interpretation. The first song I thought of for that theme was Piranha Plant’s Lullaby from SM64.

@BabyYoda71 hm, would the theme work as a tournament if it’s open to interpretation? I mean, technically if that’s the case, you could throw any song you have an attachment to in there, maybe not something from the Doom OST though

Given that Summer is starting to roll in for most people around the world, Beach/Water themes could be a cool one to have!

We did a summer/beach theme last summer, I think.

Galdin Quay from Final Fantasy XV won that one.

Specifically “water themes” though we haven’t had.

@TheBigBlue I don’t see that as a problem because one of the criteria for voting would be how cozy it makes you feel.

Looks like everyone has voted and the results of the top 4 were pretty close. I went ahead and created another poll with just those choices but this time you can only select one option. After this we’ll get right into things and start submitting songs!

Vote here

I think all of these are great choices, but my vote goes to Desert/Sand themes because there are several that I can think of off the top of my head that would be great picks, especially from Mario/ Mario Kart games. But honestly, any of these can go through and I'll be able to submit a solid amount.

Looks like Credits Themes is still holding on to the top spot in the poll so that will be our next theme! Everyone is free to start submitting songs now, the only requirement being that the song must play during a game’s credits obviously.

Ohohoho I have a few in mind already.

Literally been praying for Credits themes to win one of the polls here ever since I joined, I'm so damn excited.

A couple of my own to start us off here:

• Pokemon Black/White 2
• Link's Awakening 2019
• Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations
• Kirby Super Star Ultra
• Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion
• Mega Man 3

(gonna try and limit myself to one per series for this is as well otherwise it'd be a SWARM XD)

@ThePirateCaptain Is it ending/credit themes or just credits themes?

Some credits theme from BEMANI Rhythm games.

Dance Dance Revolution MAX

Dance Dance Revolution MAX 2

Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA

Dance Dance Revolution X2

Beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS

My first batch, might think up more later.

Want You Gone, from Portal 2
End, from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Credits, from Pokemon Colosseum
Ending Song, from Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Ending Theme, from Super Mario Bros. 2
Ending Theme, from Super Mario World <- my earliest memory of an ending theme
Credits, from Wario Land 3
Ending Theme, from The Legend of Zelda
Staff Roll, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Credits, from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Credit Line of Whole Staff (yes that's the name of the song), from Resident Evil 2
Staff & Credits, from Resident Evil 3 Remake <- I love this one

Optional:
Balance is Restored, from Final Fantasy VI <- this one is long, and most of it is a cast roll/epilogue

Promise - Silent Hill 2

The Rain Stopped - Digital Devil Saga

From what I recall, I think these 2 fit the bill, but I haven't played the games in question in a while. If the links do not work, please alert me, and I will do what I can to fix them.
