The best game music has stuff like melody and harmony. Leitmotifs.

The worst game music is just war drums over and over and over

Are they never gonna restock the n64 controllers? My friend came over and tried out Mario kart as that is all he played as a kid and it convinced him to get the switch just for that. lol

They're going to continue to do extremely small refreshes then never stock them ever again probably. Their usual MO.

This is why it's hard to compare game music by individual snippets of songs. Banjo has a lot of different variations on its level themes that shift around as you move to different parts of the states. IIRC this is also a strength of the midi music as opposed to prerecorded tunes because the way the song is playing can change note to note instead of just switching audio tracks

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

drat, Pocky and Rocky looks great. My neighbor had JP cart and we just shoved it into my SNES and it worked fine. I had no idea what was being said but loved the loving game. Only ever made it past the level after the ship as it's just a insanely hard later on.

Fake Edit: Checking now, it was level 5 of 6 - so I ALMOST beat it. Can't wait to try again.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

I'm going through Banjo-Kazooie myself! Thus far I had to look up one thing. I forgot where the second honeycomb piece was in Treasure Trove Cove. :doh: And in my defense, I went past that spot a bunch of times while flying, looking for the other one, but the draw distance is so poor that it didn't spawn in until I was almost on top of it. N64 gonna N64.

I just had the brilliant idea to do Gobi's Valley before Freezeezy Peak! Cuz I think you get the running shoes from Gobi's. Then I could beat Boggy into the dirt the first time through the level and not have to come back! And also get the last Jiggy in Bubblegloop Swamp sooner rather than later.

Neither of these things particularly matter but they'll make me feel better about it!

Banjo music is the cilantro of the music world, you're either going to love it or hate it and if you feel one way or the other there's just no getting around that.

Banjo music is okay. Also it's insanely stupid to compare music between two different franchises by two different composers as some sort of indication of declining quality.

You'll have to come back to one of Gobi Valley or Freezeezy Peak for a later jiggy depending on which one you do first, though. The way you did it lets you beat Boggy first try and not have to come back, but you do have to go back to Gobi Valley later for the one Jiggy that requires the dive bomb.

Yeah it came out during the era where 3D camera control was just something game developers hadn't quite gotten a handle on yet. I feel like it's at least about the same as Mario 64's camera though.
