Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Farewell

This has been quite a tournament. I've gotten to hear some other users' favorite songs, and I've gotten to share mine. Now, it comes down to the final two, and it is not an easy choice for me. However, after some consideration, I have chosen Xenoblade Chronicles. Thanks to the users who submitted their songs, and @Capn_Pancakez, who set this tourney up.
_{Wind Waker still could have taken on just about in song in this tourney and won imo. I would have chosen it if someone else hadn't.}

Kid Icarus Uprising

I vote for Xenoblade Chronicles, and I must say that I regret not choosing it in previous match-ups. Usually slower songs tend to bore me and they take me a while longer to like as opposed to more upbeat songs, but the song is truly a work of art. The Kid Icarus song is good, but it's a medley, and it ultimately doesn't do any of the original songs used any justice. Had it been another song from Uprising, I might reconsider, but I'm voting for Xenoblade Chronicles.

Aside from that, I really can't wait for the next category! I'm already trying to decide what my nominations will be.

I will stand by my nomination of Kid Icarus: Uprising, but I'm positive that Xenoblade will win. Oh well, if I had to lose to a track, I'm glad it was to a (very) worthy opponent.

Kid Icarus.
But I really wanted Pokemon Black/White 2 to win, but I missed that round.

Hard decision but my vote goes to Xenoblade

Xenoblade

You won 100 Internets in my book for that comment. I really liked that one and hoped that it would have made it further. Ah well.

Xenoblade!

Man, I'm so happy my nomination came so far.
Now CRUSH THE COMPETITION.

Results will come later today so be sure to vote if you haven't yet!

I'm happy to see that Kid Icarus made it this far but overall, Xenoblade had the better composition.
_{I have to say Fragile dreams should have taken its place >:[}

Let me just start off here by thanking all who participated in the tournament. I do this for you guys and it's a lot of fun so thank you all for making it happen. With a score of 15-7, here is the winner of the NintendoLife Best Title Screen Theme:

Xenoblade Chronicles!

And with that, stay tuned for the upcoming Best First Level Theme tourney coming up.

Oh well. I guess I can do with KIU having 2nd place.
_{for the record Little Inferno shoulda made it farther >:[}

Oh I already know what my nomination will be for 'Best First Level Theme'! ^_^

It should be best boss theme. u_u

@Happy
You don't fight bosses right after the Title Screen of a game

Actually, you do quite frequently. :3 For example, no more heroes 2 has a boss as the tutorial.

It's funny. I had the distinction of having both of my nominations make it to the semifinals (Kid Icarus, Wind Waker), and I still lost. That's just how good Xenoblade is. Congratulations to Tyson, and thank you CapnPancakes for making this possible. I always look forward to the voting rounds and the debate that goes with them.

I am curious though: what constitutes a first level theme? Is it the first area you gain control of the character, even if it is inside a village with no real "level" qualities? Or when you enter the main field for the first time? Can prologue chapters be skipped for chapter 1? It is different for each game, I know, but maybe some basic outline as to what qualifies would be nice. I was a purist when it came to this tournament and I would hate to accidentally become a hypocrite by nominating something that isn't the right track.

What about Theatrhythym Final Fantasy?

Kids these days... I'm aghast by the lack of the classics success in this tournament. The virtual console has not done its job. Oh well. on different websites this would be a different story.
