I don't understand the point you're trying make by claiming that vocal music is more evolved than instrumental. Does it make vocal music more complex? Superior? More expensive? Harder to make? More evolved or not I fail to see what it would prove.

Evolved: vocal music has instruments and voice, and it appeared later in both History of Music and History of Videogaming ; instrumental-only music, as the name itselft tells, has only instruments.

Complex: yes, it has everything instrumental-only music has and more.

Superior: no, that's already about tastes.

Harder to make: theoretically yes, meaning that the same music with the same instruments and the same conditions is harder to make when you add voice on top of that.

What it would prove: it doesn't prove anything besides the facts themselves (that most of Nintendo games shifted to vocal music later than their competitors), it only suggests that Nintendo wasn't willing to make the same effort and that it was forced by others rather than forcing them to evolve.


@Evolved:  Doesn't make sense to say "evolved."  Singing has existed before instruments of music.

@Complex:  Nope.  Just having vocals doesn't make it have as much as instrumental-only music at all.  The only way you can say that is if it's an instrumental version of the same song that originally has vocals.

@Harder to make:  That's just like saying it's harder to make a song with piano ensembles in it.  Because if the song is the same with all the same conditions and whatever, adding a piano to the mix would make it "harder."  Your logic is weird.

@What it would prove:  What you said is called "jumping to conclusions"  Nothing shows that anyone is forced to use vocals in music for video games.
