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

@kkslider5552000 I counted it as one because there probably wouldn’t be more than one song from the same game. What the one song will be other people can decide

Maybe the person that suggested that soundtrack could pick one or more specific songs from it?

As an extra, this Winter theme has a part that sounds like the theme of Kakariko Village (and to make it funnier, the Spring theme from the same game opens with Zelda's Lullaby). It's still a rather pretty song though.

I did not notice that this site had a VGM thread too! Oh that's sad I found out so late, looks like you guys have a lot of entries already. Some of the ones I've seen would have been my prime picks for snow themes too; I won't say which ones, but some of you lads have some great taste.

I'll add a few more songs of my own, but I understand that I'm late and that there's a good number of songs already. If they do not fit in, that's fine; just take them as extras. Hope you enjoy my picks regardless, and in any case, I'll silently cast my votes throughout.

First Steps - Celeste
Froenborg - Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
Icicle Forest - PMD Explorers of Sky
Planet Frostak - Kirby Start Allies
Sherbet Land - MK Double Dash
(edit: removed a double pick, dang I didn't want to delve into old/obscure stuff but I almost had to)

Dunno if it's been voted yet, but here goes.

Looks like we’ve already gone over 32 songs so the bracket will be uneven again. I’ll leave the nominations open one more day for anyone that wants to make some last-minute additions. Even if you’ve already posted some songs, you’re free to add a few more as long as we don’t go over 64 total.

one more for good measure

I'd count those as a single song but yet again, that's another good one

@TheJGG
The Horizon Zero Dawn song you linked looks like it’s the whole soundtrack. If you want to just pick one song from there that would be great.

Aside from that, the bracket is pretty much done. Once we get that one song sorted out, I’ll get started posting the first round.

@ThePirateCaptain All done! I changed it to "White Falls", which is almost the main theme of the Frozen Wilds DLC. It fits all my previous descriptors as well.

Fittingly enough, we just got a bit of snow here today so it must be a sign. I hope everyone is bundled up and brought some hot chocolate because we have some rather chilly tracks this time.

That last one was basically a coin flip for me, they're equally as good. I think.

Yeah both are nice. In different ways.

It’s odd though. I can’t see the voting results in these new ones. The previous batch would show my vote after a minute or two. These still say 0 votes.

@ThePirateCaptain
HOLLI JOLLI VILLAGE
well yes, but actually no

@Eel I’ve noticed once you vote and it shows the results, it takes 5-10 seconds to calculate your vote, so if you were the first one who voted that could be why.

Oh my god, that last one was difficult! I was in the majority for all of them, so Paper Mario, Stardew Valley, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

Shame P5 didn't win, but surprised Horizon Zero Dawn is holding up well!

I'm a bit surprised Snowbelle City is getting trounced, that's possibly my favourite wintery music in any game.

@Dogorilla I loved Snowbelle City but it was such a hard choice!
