Ness is gone, I think. Promotion has always been a big part of the Smash Bros. series. Maybe NoA are preparing to localize Mother 3? Or maybe Sakurai is simply throwing starved Earthbound fans a new bone...
Anyway, guys, I wanted to ask you; Am I the only one who thinks there's a huge disparity in the music quality for Brawl and Galaxy? I mean, Galaxy *sounds* like its orchestrated (don’t actually know if it is) - Brawl isn't, except for the main theme. Perhaps this is one of the things that will be addressed during the extended development time, but given the effort going into this game, I’m quite surprised it was ever an issue. I dunno, maybe none of you noticed, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
PS. Galaxy has really, really awesome music. It might be the best of any single Nintendo game to date, IMO. I find it both funny and appropriate that Mario would lead the charge in this area as well - Galaxy being Nintendo’s first true Wii title and such. |
Uh, all of Brawl's music is orchestrated. Every single song. Honestly from what I haveheard of Galaxy's music I'd say it's exactly the other way around. Comparing it to the beautiful orchestrated songs on the Brawl site makes Galaxy's music sound a little dull. However, maybe it's just the quality of the Galaxy videos. But as of now I would say there is a GIANT gap between Brawl's music and Galaxy's. |
No offence, but I'm quite surpriced you would think that. I ask you to analyze the music in the Galaxy trailers and listen closely for the delicate cross-instrumental harmonies and resonances that are so typical for orchestral performances. In other words, there's obviously a whole lot more instruments playing simultaneously in Galaxy, and they sound better than anything in Brawl. As for your examples, I'm a bit of a musician myself, but many people much more knowledgeable than you or me have confirmed most of Brawls music is not orchestral in nature. The main theme and MGS theme are the only songs that have not obviously been sequenced. And for the record, "epic" music or vocals do not imply an orchestral performance. In fact, Ashley's theme is probably one of the least likely songs to ever be orchestrated because it's a pop-style song with lyrics, which are the easiest to sequence realistically without the need of real instruments. In fact, most popular music is made this way.
I'm sorry for disturbing the peace here, but it's the truth to the best of my knowledge.
