Smash Wii U has even better Menu Music than 3DS

[ChikoLad]

DEFINITELY my favourite Menu theme in the entire series. It's hype personified in musical form.

This will be the only menu theme I'll need

Ommggggg yaaasssss gaga, so similar to the 3DS version, yet so much better.

Absolutely love this! It just sounds so fresh and live compared to the 3DS version, but I guess that's to be expected considering the WiiU is a much more powerful console overall.

That's the thing though - power shouldn't be an issue. Both games play their sound files fine. Smash 3DS has plenty of orchestrated songs. Not to mention the ENTIRETY of Kid Icarus: Uprising's soundtrack.

Furthermore, the 3DS menu theme does sound like it's live, especially since some of the instruments are identical to what the Wii U version has. The Wii U version seems to just be the 3DS version's theme with more instruments thrown in.

So power really isn't the issue here. It's clear this was an intentional decision to some degree. Maybe they knew people would find the Wii U version's launch more exciting and as such, updated the theme to reflect that, making the first time boot up of the Wii U version more special than it would be if it used the exact same track as the 3DS version?

It should also be noted that the E3 demo builds of Smash Wii U had the same theme as the final 3DS build. So they must have updated the theme since then.

Regardless, the 3DS theme almost feels empty by comparison to the Wii U one. I can't wait to have this song blaring when I first boot up the Wii U version.

Urgh............my parents took away the Wi-fi adapter away from me so I cannot use my tablet at home. So now on I may not be online that often.
Any way, the 3DS theme has made me hyped when I started playing the game already, I can't wait to hear the Wii U version again.

Sounds more different than better.

Either way, I like it, it's a cool subtle difference that'll help make it so both menus don't feel the same.

 

[Soul.]

It sounds different. I don't think it's better. Smash 4's menu theme in general is decent for me.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Absolutely incredible. I already loved the 3DS menu theme but this one is just so fantastic!

I can't wait to mash the two up together. <3

 

[Jae]

I like this a lot more. The added instruments really help out a lot but I think I'll stick to using Melee's and Brawl's Menu theme.

 

[LordCQ]

Wow, just wow! I'm really feeling it!

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

The Direct pretty much confirms we're going to have a lot of variety in menu themes.

 

[Smearglangelo]

That is a fantastic menu song!

If this is just the menu music just think of how awesome the rest of the soundtrack will be! (Thank you Club Nintendo for distributing the soundtrack to club members!)
