Fans of awesome video game music with a taste for a-cappella are likely familiar with Smooth McGroove, who's covered a huge number of iconic tracks in his own style.
There'd been a bit of a gap (around three months) since his last video at the time of writing, but the singer / composer has now released a fresh arrangement that should appeal to fans on multiple levels. It's a performance of the iconic Onett theme from EarthBound, for one thing, but it's also been dedicated to former Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, who passed away on 11th July.
Find a good pair of headphones and check it out below.

AWW GAWD I'm almost in tears...
I've been requesting this song from him for years. Sad that it happened this way, but extremely happy that he did it! I'm covered in goosebumps just listening to this song again.
That is very pretty.
I'm still hoping one of these days he'll do Molgera's Theme, been requesting it for a while. :c
I'd rather get Because I Love You, but I'll certainly take this as well.
I still dream of a day when Mr. McGroove will cover DKC2's Forest Interlude, though.
(Two seconds pass) Already I love it.
Nothing beats his Wily Castle theme from Mega Man 3
Now I want him to do Podunk, otherwise known as Pollyanna (I Believe in You)...
Ah, refreshing to hear his Bahs once more and for Iwata, too. That's neat.
Eight Melodies, he needs to do that.
Man that was great. Made my night.
He's good at what he does and I love this cover and Earthboud, but he's still my least favorite cover artist for various reasons... I prefer artist that add something new that's their own to the song that they're covering instead of keeping it 100% to the original. Also, a conclusive ending instead of a never ending loop...
That cover might be one of his best.
Maybe someday he will cover the Snowman/Winters theme. I love almost all of his other covers, especially the DKC ones.
@JaxonH you heard him do the Moon stage from Ducktails? Too close to call which is better!
Lovely dedication to Satoru.
Despite the fact that Satoru Iwata passed away recently, this song makes me so happy, especially when Mr. McGroove sings it.
Beautiful! Anyone knows if I can download his songs somewhere?

Thank you very much! I'll check it out later today.
@Spacey His cover of "Oath to Order" from Majora's Mask has a conclusive ending, so you might want to check that one out.
Well there goes the feels again ; 3 ;
