At first, the music for this game may sound naive and childish, well, what you'd expect from a Disney title, but behind the obvious kid-friendly sound, these compositions are actually pretty great, reminds me of Danny Elfman stuff a bit.
They're also beyond comfy, especially the Stage 1 track, it totally feels like you're strolling through a medieval village on a harvest festival, each track was perfect to set the mood of the stage.

Not a huge fan of the SNES music. It really has some great "cinematic" style music that fits in with its many RPGs but I can't really recall any great "arcade" style music

Like this?

Also, I wonder if it would be possible to switch the soundfonts around in SNES games. Like, DKC with Ballz'.

King of Dragons has pretty accurate music compared to the Arcade, so there is at least one game.

>>2170623
Turtles is good. Not as good as the arcade, but quite close. It doesn't quite have the edge, as it is all sampled, but they are very good samples.

Also the opening theme, considering Wolf Team somehow managed to get a song with legible (Japanese) lyrics on an SNES game, in addition to voicing for the major characters. Not sure if any other SNES game quite managed that.

Obviusly Gradius III , Wild Guns and Sunset Riders dont have dobly prologic.
I made a mistake while pasting

>>2170887

Ok, I have to say I shed one tear out of nostalgia when I heard that opening theme again. Though I have to admit that if I hate anything about the ToP soundtrack is that the instruments sound really SLOPPY, as in the beat is not tight as if SNES had problems rendering the sounds in real time. A lot of great tunes though.

I love this one track from FF VI mainly because dat bass line

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKnvKa5N410

>>2170408

I have to agree here. Terranigma is not only one of the solidest piece of gameplay on SNES but it has an awesome soundtrack that never gets boring and portrays the awesome sense of wonder that is present all the time. Not something I'd buy as an orchestrated version but great in it's own right.

http://youtu.be/TTlWNsWaHbI

Go Go Ackman 2 has many great tunes but personally I like this one best.

>>2174139
I think it's really interesting that a company responsible for almost every GG Sonic title was able to make 2 games on Nintendo in their spare time

There must be a good reason for Aspect taking over Ackman in the 2nd and 3rd games.
>Banpresto: The market for more Ackman games is clearly there but we don't have time to make them, somebody call those guys down the street and hand them a devkit

>>2170850
turtles on the genesis is the best though, even better than the arcade version too. I'm not that guy but my problem with SNES music is most of it sounds like it was recorded under a blanket because they had to lower the quality to save space.

>>2174195
but genesis sounds like midis

>>2174201
Midi is just transmission of instructions, it doesn't have a sound and you can't blame it

The sound you actually don't like is the YM2612, the synth, or soundfont that is receiving the musical instructions

>>2174203
i agree it does sound like tinny shit

>>2174208
you're retarded. It doesn't have a sound, it makes the sounds the composers programmed it to make. It's not a midi device that has instruments programmed into it, you need to write your own drivers. I shouldn't even be arguing with a retard who makes blanket statements like "genesis sounds like midis", FYI kid midis can also sound as good or as bad as you make them depending on what instrument sets you use, MIDI isn't a sound format it's an instruction set you fucking retard.

Apparently they OST of X-Kaliber 2097 was written by an actual tecno group. Music is fun and fits to this awesome and underrated cyberpunk game.

What does the scouter say about my Powerlevel?

>>2175102
Oh, also, OP;
If you 'really' like SNES music, I suggest you download .spc files and get a player for it.
A .spc is snes music ripped directly from the game. So the only quality lost is the Decoders fault. They are also tiny as hell. So tiny, in fact, that (nearly) all snes music ever ripped is only 158MB.
You can get SPC music here: http://snesmusic.org/v2/
Or, if you're willing to wade through all the crap, you can download the 158MB torrent here; http://snesmusic.org/v2/torrent.php

For players, Winamp has a few SPC plugins. I suggest SNESAmp, which can be downloaded here: http://alpha-ii.com/Download/Main.html
For on the go, Android has Droidsound. Completely free, no ads.
Warning though, there is another app called Droidsound that isn't related to playing music rips. Look for the app that has pic related as a icon.
If your device supports Droidsound-e, get that one. It's build ontop of the original Droidsound, has less bugs, etc.

i laughed very much. i began by saying "oh i love this song! robo something"

Oh related songs in the Terranigma song youtube player. It has been at least 6 or 7 years since I last replayed it. Oh Crystia I remember this one i was the name of the town of the game...

>Play it

Feelings everywhere.

Also why anybody has posted Any SD3 songs yet it is the best SNES OST ever (IMHO)

Check out this guy, acting like SPCs are some obscure technology lost to time

Nigras, i hated how the SNES couldnt do proper note sustains and decays, and a lot of the times, specially in earlier ports, the notes have a sever case of cut-off earlier.

Look of what they did to this song per example

Do any of you realize that those SPC were ripped using ZSNES based tools?

that shit could never emulate sound properly!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKXXDrN0nAQ&index=3&list=PL5A480E165BE6D3F2
God tier music but ht gameplay is shit.

>>2175690
>Do any of you realize that those *.spc were ripped using ZSNES based tools?
>that shit could never emulate sound properly!

Do you even undestand what a fucking *.spc file is?
One .SPC file contains the code , data and register status of the ALU.
It does not mater is ZSNES is accurrate or not when emulating the audio output , the .SPC will contain an exact copy of the data that is in the ALU ( samples , track data , and sound engine code).
And *.spc files work in real hardware

A soundtrack...

The Top Gear 2 thread reminded me of motherfucking Top Gear. These were some of the best SNES soundtracks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9eBUtvmFxI

>>2175684
I agree with you for the most part, BUT have you listened to King of Dragons? it sounds pretty close to the arcade, like it was ported by a completely different team from the shitty Final Fight and Captain Commando ports.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7v-vohVNoQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gzIuqLUFUo

The original FM soundtrack is still, but they did a great job with the music, unlike most other shitty capcom ports on SNES.

>>2176024
Surprising, given that Capcom is generally bad rather than good on the SNES. Though, possibly their biggest hit of the era, SF 2, sounds really good on SNES. Not necessarily the best or anything, but very good.

>>2174208
Tinny shit is that awful bass on the SNES version.

>>2174203
Funny because the SNES functions similar to MIDI, whereas the Genesis does not. But no, neither sound like "MIDI" (by which I assume you mean late 90s Windows music). The Playstation does, though.

Anyone here familiar with Star Fox 2? Probably my favorite SNES game. It's soundtrack knocks the original SF out of the park. I'd reccomend hearing the complete OST (As well as playing the game)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CJGRsb_3h4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zimrFIDfaKo

>>2176032
SNES used tons of MIDI samples too, because clearly not every company had dedicated bands to make samples, so many used MIDI samples.

>>2176037
Makes sense. There is no such thing as a "MIDI sound" unless one is trying to indicate the old default windows instruments. Which is, admittedly, a terrible sound.

>>2176035
The game was much shorter than expected. It felt more like a demo than a full game.

>>2176030
can anyone honestly listen to both of those and then say with a straight face the super nintendo sounds better?

>>2176056
What difficulty were you playing? Easy takes like half an hour while expert takes well over 1 hour

However it is an arcade style "beat the high-score" game, so I guess its to be expected.

>>2176056
It's short but feels ebin even on easy. It delivers the goods straight away & constantly, with no time-wasting bridges between cool, unique gameplay segments that typify long games. /vr/ games are generally very short by modern standards. Personally, when almost any game takes longer than six hours, I begin praying for a speedy conclusion.

Anyway, Star Fox 2's structure is fairly unique. The brief, non-linear micro-campaign works remarkably well, so it's surprising it hasn't been imitated more. Non-linear games are almost universally grindy as hell.

>>2176035
the music sucks dude, starfox had music that got you pumped up. That music is just way too boring.
