You’re about to hear 10/10 balls slapping your mother’s chin.

>sega

same but the game itself is 6/10 at best

>>10469286
>6-7/10 soundtrack but 10/10 gameplay

>>10469286
yeah Art of Balance has great music despite being a fairly simple game, I never finished it but I put the music from time to time

POV: you're about to hear stolen music

>>10469375
You are retarded. All the Nintendo classics got timeless OSTs loved by millions. One might argue no one would give a shit about Nintendo without the music and Koji Kondo

>>10470036
Art of Balance is unironically one of the best games ever. It's weird that there isn't more like it and it sucks that there is still no PC port with online

>>10470783
Nah. Mario and Zelda's songs are always there to service the game or to be tech demos. SMW sticks out like a sore thumb today, there's nothing noteworthy happening in its music, it's all just to show off the audio effects you can do on the SNES. Even their attempts to show off (SMB3 and SMW2:YI) were never really carrying the game for anyone. They simply don't like to show off. All the good stuff usually comes out from other studios, like Square, Hal Laboratory, etc.

>>10470828
The SMW soundtrack is iconic.

>>10470220
It's not stolen. At most, it's miscredited as to who created it. Tommy's employees made the music, whose rights go to Tommy, and this is nothing new. Just ask game composers. Their works almost exclusively belong to the developer/publisher.

>>10470036
>Art of Balance
first time i hearing about it and and wow, the music is something else

Worst post I've seen this month

>>10470783
be aware little one. appeal to popularity metrics is a sign of premature brainrot.

>>10470828
i agree. when i ventured into real game music like scc, zuntata, early falcom or demoscene trackers it made it apparent how mediocre nintendo's sound philosophy is.

>Sunsoft
Yeah, let's just use samples to make the Super Nintendo sound like a Genesis.

>>10471102
no sound was done by sunsoft. in fact none of the game had sunsoft involvement other than publishing.

>>10469375
I was about to bring up DKC but then i remembered they're rare
>>10470828 is right

>>10469286
How come Sunsoft's games after the NES never lived up to their quality of stuff like Hebereke or Gimmick?

>>10470783

apparently they lost a shit ton of money in the mid 90s because they invented millions into some golf course investment in palm springs, which caused the american branch to get severly lobotomized to the point of being a skeleton crew with a handful of people.

>>10470890
this motherfucker literally took public domain midi songs, copied parts out of it - note for note, not even bothering to change key - and got caught out decades later. cope harder.

>>10471102
sounds 100% nothing like a genesis, doesn't even sound like FM synth instruments. sounds like samples from a rompler keyboard/module.

I mainly know of Shin'en from those GBA isometric shmups they did. Pretty damn good soundtrack for them I agree.

>>10473370
A lot of Game Boy soundtracks were actually outsourced to Shin'en.

>>10473379
Didn't know that, but the composers at that studio were wizards with bit tune.

Ahem

Beep beep coming through

>>10470942
This plus Mighty Switch Force. Not sure how the sequel's soundtrack turned out bu5 MSF 1 is gold

>>10473343
t. youtuber shill

>>10475250
> seething
i've been writing music for over twenty years and not fucking once have i loaded up someone else's midi and just copied shit out of it. your boy tommy has. it's the cardinal sin of music composition. beside that, he's never had any reputation worth shit. he's just your typical american grifter. tommy is literally the billy mitchel of game music composing.

>>10470836
more like rainbow warts lol

>>10473472
>>10473472
shin'en were former amiga demo sceners that created AHX synth music editor and a bunch of awesome demos. shin'en programmed the audio drivers and the music/sfx for gameboy and a few other systems.

>>10475219
MSF2's OST was also just as fantastic.

>>10469375
>but 10/10 gameplay
No. Only thing Nintendo scores a 10 for is baby mode easiness so everyone can finish their games.

>>10469343
Data east released awesome shoot em ups and best em ups something Nintendo was never able to do.

I like tommy, always have but is all this backlash because he said a no no word or was anti homosexual?

>>10476940
He's a compulsive liar. Literally everything he says is a lie. He's practically the stereotypical sleazeball. He completely disappeared from the internet after this video was uploaded because everything in it is completely undeniable:

I know hbomberguy is generally a massive faggot but everything that's shown in this video is true

>>10473949
Pocky & Rocky soundtrack is so good

>>10476956
Oh, cool a bald so y dude who talks about vaccines. Thanks for spreading more of his content on /vr/. That was a lot more enjoyable than any soundtrack from a tommy tallarico game.

>>10477060
I was kinda expecting that kind of reply but oh well. I guess I'll see you later in a thread defending Billy Mitchell

>>10477067
>I was kinda expecting that kind of reply
Please don't come at me with some faggot eceleb ever again to make a point.
>Billy Mitchell
I normally don't care about high score games. Yes they are fun but I don't follow the players. Honestly the people complaining about Billy are worse than whatever it is they claim he's done. Simply challenge the guy to a score off in person. Case solved.

> i must justify the existence and defend my talentless failure hero of a "musician" that steals music instead of writing it himself
lmao. this is why americans like tommy and billy are seen as repulsive grifters. not only do they think compulsive lying and being a scumbag is their god given right and part of their personality, they'll even justify their thievery with the most lamest excuses.

>>10477087
What compels someone to admit they and usually their significant other both have autism. I cannot stomach youtube commemts.

>>10477083
> if i write this cope post then somehow this will give tommy magical composing abilities and erase the proof of his shit talents being ripped from "public domain" midi files
nah, didn't work. tommy is still fuckin shit.

>>10477092
The fucking Super Mario Bros ost is jacked from some jazz band you dork.

>>10477101
at least koji kondo wrote it using an assembler instead of copy/pasting midi data using a fucking sequencer. lmao.

>>10477102
Stop talking badly about my favourite composer. Tim Follin, every single composer from Nintendo and even Sonic 3 ost soundtrack all contain stolen tracks.

>>10477101
>t-square
>some jazz band
They probably have the strongest influence on video game music as a whole and were hugely popular in Japan at the time.

>>10477109
So why is tallarico shit on yet all these japs get a pass? It's all bullshit.

>>10477154
Because Tommy literally just used other people's MIDI files or music. As in he didn't use an instrument or sequencer himself, just took a completed piece of music made by another person and said he made it. The guy is genuinely a pathological liar who can't even play music.

>>10477157
>Because
There's no difference.

If one thing every Konami game has, it’s a good soundtrack

As always Snk is sadly forgotten and it's sad because their staff was more talented than Capcom's

quite amazing how people still try and defend this fraud.
>>10477154
difference is that the japs had to compose everything using MML and assembly language or sequenced it themselves using MIDI and had programmers transcribe it into code/MML. that still takes enormous amount of skill and time. tommy loaded up midi files he found on bulletin boards or public domain CDs made by other people and copy/pasted data he wanted into his sequencer. that retarded manlet fraud didn't even have the skills to copy anything by ear.

>>10477154
>a pass
There's a huge difference between an inspiration and flat out plagiarism or simply using somebody else's music wholesale. The SMB theme has similarities to Sister Marian, sure, but it is absolutely its own distinct composition.

>>10476894
Funny enough, their old demoscene logo appeared on a fucking Maya The Bee game as an easter egg
