Anyways heres the deal what we are doing is a CD that will feature the sound tracks of various Nintendo games remixed to techno music some tracks may actualy et ixed into different genres who knwos but anyways what we are looking for right now is a list of your favorite music from Nintendo games. We so far have Metroid Main Theme, Super Mario Bros Main Theme, Underground and Castle Themes, Dr Mario Fever and Chill plus Game Over, Legend of Zelda Main Theme, Star Fox Main Theme, and Donkey Kong Country Main Theme picked out for inclusion on the Sound Track CD.
Now we are seeking suggestions for what other songs/games to include as well as some ideas of what styles of music to remix them into. Also if possible we are seeking various bands who happen to be Nintendo fans to record original tracks that will capture the spirit of the games. this is our way of showing our enthusism for Revolution and a small but hopefully helpfull marketing method. I dont have many details right now but since revolution is only a few months away we are kind of in a hurry to get this project readyy as its likely to be used as a promotional deal we dont know yet how but we are still negociating.
I knwo a lot of people dont take me seriously but this a real deal we are undertasking and need suport form the fans (not my fans but Nintendo fans)
Also this is my big break into the world of Video Game Music so help me out ok.
Anmyways what I need to hear from those who reply is what songs/games should we try and use and what what are some suiggestions on hwo to make them sound 'raio friendly' so that we can make them into actualy club tracks. we already have a techno mix of Dr Marios Chill theme but so far we need more suggestions and are limited on time we can devote to this project.

If Rare games are included then I also suggest the factory theme from Donkey Kong Country.
Oh and I rather shamelessly would like to plug my band since my keyboard player is heavily influenced by videogame music and we have a couple songs that have the kind of sound.

I am already considering all the main themes from the main games but I was also thinking of doing some of the not so popular games like Kirby, Fire Emblem, Ice Climbers, Smash Bros, maybe soething from Pikmin.
The ideah is to build enthusism and hype for Revolution by remixing old classic tunes to modern music and generating feelings of nastalgia as well as creating buzz for the system. We would like to have the sound track bundled with a game or offered as a give away for reserving a system or something along those lines, its not something we expect to sell in stores except maybe specialty shops and of course GameStop, etc.
I mosty am excited about this project because it allows me to actualy work with Nintendo (yeah)
and lets me help them in thier marketing areas that they so desperatly need help in. I just think it would be awesome to have a techno cd that plays all yoru favorite Nintendo tunes to dance music that build hype for the new system and recreates those feelings that you had playing those old games when you was a kid.
I will update this thread as often as I get new info so stay tuned because this is potentialy the most exciting thing I have ever had a chance to do. (to Ian Sane if you are serious about doing a track or two PM me and I will let you know what I can do)
I can not say much else because we are in negociations but I can say that they ARE talking to me and are somewhat interested. Anyways thanks for the suggestions.

But if you could get Ikana's Castle theme from Majora's Mask with proper chorus and orchestration, I really, really, wouldnt mind at all.
Also, the song of healing from MM.

The latest word so far is that the Nintendo Brand Management department is reviewing our request. So things are looking better.
How about a Hip-Hop G-Funk sound for the Metroid theme, have a rap beat and some smooth bass and funky keyboards?

From what I've read, you should really check out some of the tracks from F-Zero GX.. some of them have nice tunes.
Post by: mantidor on March 30, 2006, 10:44:43 AM
it really sucks that hip hop and rap are now whats considered mainstream music, Id rather have the tecno version of the music please.
Also, whats this hymn of the storm you people keep talking about? is some sort of a rearranged song of the storms?

It's what the song is called on the Majora's Mask OST.

Umm...north_unknown - that rendition of Gerudo Valley was pretty cool btw. That song was soooo good. That's another hope I have for Zelda:TP - that the music gets alot better than the WW stuff (still good, but a step back from Ocarina)

I actualy got an email saying they were interested but they never gave me much details just that they would have to discuss it and get back to me. I have contacted the Legal Department and their brand Managment team, also customer serice but they dont have any authority really.
But I am not giving up, because we are expanding all the time and are on the verge of crossing over into mainstream once I get my publsihing deals all finalised.

Just wanted to edit some of the spelling errors.
Post by: animecyberrat on April 18, 2006, 04:53:12 PM
They told me it has a lot to do with how they work with established companies with reputations and how thier properties are so valuable they dont want to taint them or have low quality stuff out there with thier name on it.
So I take it that the best chance I have of seeing this project go anywhere is if they agree to publish it themselves, which is up in the air. The only hope I still have is that I have been told by different reps that they really liek the idea, mostly becauseits somthign they have never doen before and with REv they are all about trying new things to attract new people. So official word is no liscense but theres a chance they might publish it themselves so Ill fidn out in around two weeks they said its every two weeks they have meetings and their next meeting is next week so they will discuss it then. Those who thnk its a good idea cross your fingers, say yor prayers, do whatever it is yo do to see this come through cuz its a really great idea.

And NO I always type professional. I don't have to go into that again. Also I have been talking on the phone with people now so its not all via email.
Forums are casual conversation to me so I would talk like I do in real life but ya'all fools would freak out and alla that
Post by: UncleBob on April 18, 2006, 07:13:44 PM
Also, make a Link's Awakening track.

Well I suggested sending a demo 'cause it is ilogical for them to accept such project without something to give them a better idea with whom they are dealing with, and the suggestion from UncleBob of making the CD for Nintendo Power is a great idea.
About the typing, relax, I also don't always talk the same way I type in this forum, I actually get joked about it by my friends that I talk with such complex words to explain simple things lol.
