Today we do, however, and we have five more video game songs to share with you. Such games that will be represented today include Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. After you've listened to this week's music, check out our VGM Database."
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
Nintendo Switch Online players have discovered a game-breaking bug in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
Nintendo of America: "Inhale enemies and combine their abilities in Kirby's adventure beyond Dream Land!
Dozens of puffed-up special powers await you in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, floating onto Nintendo Switch for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on 5/20!"
My favorite Kirby right there. Also has my favorite Kirby sound track. So many memories playing Kirby 64.
Golden Sun is one of the few RPG's I go back to again and again, the second one is a masterpiece imo.
I remember when I was younger, probably around 7-10 years ago I saw Mario RPG at the local game store for $35 dollars. I knew from my time renting it I had to buy it so I decided to save up for it. Everytime I went to the store I would look to see if the game was still there. Never thought I would spend 35 for a SNES game, but it was worth it, oh so worth it
I have the village song from Mario in my itunes, just an amazing collaboration between Nintendo and Squaresoft (before they would become Square Enix)
