Music in games is very important but I rarely listen to anything game related. In most cases it's made with the game in mind, it's main purpose (not always) is to support the game's atmosphere, not to stand alone, i think that's the reason I don't listen to/like it. For example, I love LOTR and think the music is incredible in that film but you would have to force me to listen to it without the context of the movie.
If you like Castlevania music for example, I would recommend listening to some baroque music, Bach for example. I don't think many would find a reason to return safe for nostalgia.
How is it possible that the Wii, with it's casual user base got Black ops and the Switch, which is just as popular if not more, with its more hard core base, isn't getting any.
@Cyberbotv2 That sucks to hear man. I hope things turn out for the better for you. It's nice to have something to look forward to and this game definitely fulfils that role.
Of course they would keep making F-zero if it sold gangbusters like Mario kart but it doesn't. So yes, they DO need a new idea. Nintendo is a creative company, you can't ask a creative person to do the same thing over and over without some serious cashflow as reward.
What they could do is at least rerelease the game with maybe an online mode.
@Ralizah That's good breve summary explaining precisely what I wanted to know. It seems I would enjoy SMT even more then. I still quite liked a lot of the aspects of P5, like the music and overall style and battles, so I plan to return to it soon.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60
The problem isn't the price. People should earn more money(myself included!)

Re: Soapbox: Monster Hunter Rise Is The Perfect Hybrid Game
@Kalmaro I've never tried HH but I read that the way it's handled is quite different now. Easier to create melodies maybe?
Re: Soapbox: Monster Hunter Rise Is The Perfect Hybrid Game
@Kalmaro they actually nerfed the HH after the demo.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster File Size Revealed
@Ralizah Sounds very similar to Persona. What are the main differences between the two really, apart from theme?
