Forums - Nintendo - Best 100 Nintendo songs

I really love this idea. I always support people making huge lists like 50 or 100. It takes a lot of dedication and really makes you search through all your favorites. So much more interesting than top 3s, 5s, and 10s.

With that said, your first mistake was putting the #1 song at #99 by accident.

"im sure some of the more famous songs will come later"

Like what? I could change a few of the top 30 if there is something I've missed.

"It's a solid selection but I think it would have been better if you had done it as a simple list of 100 songs as opposed to a countdown"


Well, think of it as that. The correlation between placement and quality is only weak because it's very subjective and also I didn't want the top 20 to be entirely Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime.

"some great themes still haven't popped up, but there's still 30 songs to go, so I'll hope for the best."

Tell me. If I agree I'll change it; I've bound to have missed some.

"There's way too much Pokemänner music"

Yes, I know. It's a bit love-it-or-hate-it, and I couldn't bear to drop any of them...

"Good selection although too light on the Nes themes and too heavy on the pokemons."

Yes, I'm an N64-era gamer. My experience of the NES and SNES is limited to those GB/GBA remakes I've bought. So I'm sure I've missed out on some classics - Earthbound being the biggest casualty. I don't know enough about it to be able to pick a good song (and unfortunately I didn't like your Giygas suggestion). Again, I apologise for the Pokemon but I love every single Route theme.

"And i agree with ZZetaAlec, where is MP 3 theme?"

I didn't like it. You see I've included the MP1 and MP2 title themes, and Sky Town from MP3.

"Hrm, I'm seeing a lack in Earthbound music in here. I mean, I'd expect at least Pollyanna."

Yes, I didn't think I knew a good song so I wasn't planning on one. However, I recognise Pollyanna from Melee/Brawl now, so I'm going to take that video with four Pokemon themes in it (whoops) and replace one with Pollyanna.

"With that said, your first mistake was putting the #1 song at #99 by accident."

And how many people would agree with you, apart from me? The list is distorted so that the franchises are more evenly spread out; I can't have all the Mario ones at the top...



Too much Metroid! :P

 

You've done some pretty nice work here

 

Okay... Heard through 31-40, and only liked 2 songs really. (OoT one and Starfox one).

The other ones are good, but I'd rather just listen to a random song (metroid disabled) on the Brawl soundtrack.

 

41-50: Very good, but too much metroid (again).

Love the Kid Icarus & Pokemon Blue one (never was too good with the names of the songs)

Hmm.. Btw! You should have the red screen saying which song it is up later... I love having an image (/video) in my head of where I was in the game. 

Love the SMG one too :D Too bad it was followed by Metroid.

Pure genious OoT (Gerudo Valley). Glad you added that one so high up, as I feel it oftenly gets ignored. Too bad it was followed by Metroid

 

51-60

Kirby

And liked the SMG and Pokemon one

But THREE metroids? :/

I'm not going to apologise for the large amount of Metroid. I think it's genius. And everyone else has been complaining about the Pokémon.

Do you have any suggestions for ones to go in the top 30 that I've missed so far?

Some tracks I'd like to hear:

Starfox - Space Armada
Starfox 64 - Area 6
F-Zero - Death Wind
F-Zero GX - Big Blue (new and Story remix), Green Plant
F-Zero MV - Bianca City
F-Zero X - Port Town
Metroid Zero Mission - Kraid's Lair
The Legend of Zelda - Title music
Wave Race 64 - Title music, Southern Island
Wave Race Blue Strom - Title music
1080° - Golden Forest
Metroid Prime - Magmoor Caverns, Tallon Overworld

I guess you'll have enough music from Mario and Zelda games, so I didn't mention them.

I've listened to all of them, and you get Southern Island. I've already planned to put in the two Metroid ones.

I don't like "heavy metal" tracks, so most of the F-Zero ones are out (but then again I've already put in Cloud Carpet and Mute City. Bianca City would be third.)

There are three more LoZ themes in my top 30.

I hate you. Those damn Pokémon get so many entries, but the good stuff is left out.

I replaced a Pokémon in 81-90 by Pollyanna...

And, come on, the Pokémon Gym Theme > Any F-Zero.

I'll put the Australian national anthem in. Yes?

 



OK, all 100 are up. Go on, tell me you hate my top 10.

If anyone wants the raw file for a given song, PM me. Some of them are a little difficult to find on the internet.



I can't get video 91-100 working. :-/

Strange. Works for me logged out on IE and FF. What exactly happens? If you want to watch it anyway I can upload it as a file somewhere.



That loading circle thing just keeps on spinning. video won't work. I use IE as my FF won't work on youtube because it says I need to update my flash, but it works on IE anyway.
