James didn't even mention this last night. Can't wait to hear it!

I missed when we were talking about the podcasts (hence why I asked as an aside).

I knew I'd played Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but couldn't place the music - when the game was announced I double-facepalm'd.

Oh hey, sorry, here's the line-up for this episode:

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces (Wii)
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (SNES)
Lunar Legend (GBA)
Mario Party DS (DS)


...So listen to this episode! Please?

TYP, do you know alot about gaming music? Do you collect game sound tracks as a hobby? What criteria do you place on the gaming music for your show? Do you allow 32-bit game music?

I enjoy video game music and am decent at recognizing it, but I wouldn't consider myself a collector in any sense, nor would I say I'm an "expert" in gaming music (as that would imply I know a lot about the various composers out there).

The criteria for this show is that the game must have been released on a Nintendo platform in North America, unless I do some sort of special themed episode (which is very rare). Other than that, it's generally a matter of taste--I'm more likely to pick music/games I or my co-host find enjoyable or interesting.

...The Virtual Boy, GBA, and DS have 32-bit processors.

I actually like the music from final fantasy 7-9, especially final fantasy 8. The msuic has a classical tone, but it invokes alot of emotionand has a really nice tune.

FF7 and beyond have never graced Nintendo platforms, sadly. If they're ever ported to the 3DS they're fair game, but it's less likely given Sony's PSN service....

I am hoping for them to be ported to the 3DS and I think SE still owns the rights to the game and can release them on any platform they. FF 5 and 6 will probably be 3DS titles. The final fantasy games always have great soundtracks.
