I love the music in Galaxy, but Okami has a completely forgotten sound track.

wat

 I actually agree with Nordlead here. The only thing that wasn't top-notch quality in Okami was the music. It's a decent soundtrack (and I prefer it over most games), but compared to Zelda, Fire Emblem and SMG it completely pales.

no

I wouldn't necessarily include SMG in that list as it's just remixes of older songs in quite a few places, but Zelda and Fire Emblem obliterate Okami in music.  I can remember dozens of memorable songs from them whereas I can remember maybe one from Okami.

 

And Zelda isn't? Honestly, maybe 1/10 of Galaxy's soundtrack consists of arrangements (and then I'm being generous and include stuff like Battlerock).

You're right... Well, it's not 90%. 

Fire emblems, Super Mario Galaxy and the Zeldas are almost all 66% or more remakes.

Same with Pokemon.

Same with Mario Kart.

Same with Super Smash Bros.

 

But that doesn't stop any of them from having some bloody amazing music. This is in line's with (what I believe) is part of Nintendo's philosophy.

The new game is the old game, with a small amount of new stuff added. In prinscipe, this would mean that the sequel would always be an improvement over its predecessor.
