I heard an hour long interview with David Wise a few days ago (recorded this December / January) on youtube, asked by game composers so it was pretty in depth.

He talks about the challenging aspect of making game music for a game like DKCTF because it has to sound new, but also stay true to the originals. Overall there are a few forgettable melodies in TF in my opinion, but I guess it'll grow on me, just like the original SNES tunes.
Remember that game music 20 years ago for SNES and especially N64 sounded radically different while the composer was making them, but they had to downscale the samples to fit within the extremely small memory. Nowadays they just use the real samples because there are no limitations.
So that's why some may think TF and other new games of old franchises sounds "wrong".
Yep.
