First off, I'm on vacation, so I'm actually posting this from my phone forgive its simplicity.

Anyway, I'm lounging around by a pool, listening to some orchestrated Melee music (does anyone else have that CD?) and I thought of a fun forum game we could play while we wait for Brawl. Now, this game is directed to both Melee and Brawl, so it could go in either forum, but I like the Brawl forums more. =P Now, the game:

Alrught, we're all loving these new Brawl music updates, right? And I know we all love the music in Melee. But I'm sure there are a lot of people who haven't played Fire Emblem, Ice Climber, or even Pokèmon, yet we all enjoy the music from them. This game's purpose is to pick some music from either Brawl or Melee, and find and post the original renditions of it, alongside the new editions of it.

The rules are simple: Pick a song from Melee or Brawl, then go out on the internet and find the original 8-bit/16-bit/etc song from the actual game and post it. Use any resource you can - Youtube, your own collection, vgmusic.com, whatever. Then post a direct link to the original, and state what game it's from, and the title of the song. If you can find the Melee/Brawl rendition of it online, post that as well. If your song submission is part of a medley, include a timestamp of where it is in the medley.

The only other rule, is no one can have more than one submission from the same original game per day. So don't post every song that appears in the Pokèmon medley at once. =P

[Edit] You can also only have up to 5 submissions a day.

I'll continually update this first page with each submission, and the forum member who submitted it. Whoever has the most by the time Brawl is released (or when we run out of music) wins! If we end up listing every song, I will even ship out an actual Nintendo/gaming prize to the winner. By the time we finish the game, we'll have an awesome collection of retro Nintendo songs that appear in Melee and Brawl!

I'd post a sample, but again, I'm on a phone. I'm sure you get the rules anyway.

Ready? Go!

Those are awesome. By the way, I'm going to edit the songs into my first post when I'm back from vacation, or if I get to a computer.

Btw, I love that Fourside song.

Sweet, this thread is re-opened. It's now less of a forum game and more of a contest/list. The rules are still the same, and yes.. If we get all the songs listed, I'll still ship out an actual prize to the winner. Re-read the first post for edits.

Keep the entries coming!!

So far the only ones to post have been me and Green Shell. Hopefully that will change or this won't be much of a contest. It's really not that hard to find songs.

Also, anyone know of a good audio hosting site? The one I'm using has a daily download limit so the links I post now may not work later in the day.


Game: Melee
Song: Pokefloats

Game: Pokemon Red/Blue
Song: Wild Pokemon Battle

Game: Melee

Hey man, if it's just you, then you'll win (if we get all the songs).

Either way, I hope we get more people interested in this thread. I really thought there were more people who were in love with the Melee soundtrack and the new Brawl songs...

By "all the songs" do you mean all the stage songs from both games? Maybe you can put up a list and check them off as people post them. Maybe when you get back from vacation. Heck, I might get bored enough to do it myself. (don't count on it though)

MISSION FAILED

The Corneria song from Melee is actually a medley of three songs from Star Fox SNES:

Venom

Course Clear

Space Armada

There is no Corneria song in the Melee Corneria stage, neither from Star Fox or Star Fox 64. This is the Corneria theme from the original Star Fox.

Corneria

Yea, I knew it didn't sound quite right when i heard them. I wasn't sure though. I just assumed they used the corneria song for SF64 in melee. My bad.

-1 entry for me! Better make that one up.

I'm sure games with monetary or physical prizes aren't aloud.
Well that's good, as long as they're allowed. =P

This isn't a forum game, and any "prize" is just my way of thanking the person most responsible for gathering the music.

Keep 'em coming!

I lost serious interest after the first submission xD
And even more interest when the thread was locked.
But it's re-open again? Eh, I might contribute... depends on how bad I want that prize.
But seeing on how the other guy is on a role, I might just drop dead.

Truthfully, the whole "contest" idea of this was just so people would submit. I think that it would be great if we could get a base where all of the old-school music was right next to the newly composed music. Plus, it's a good place to get ringtones. =P

I hope people keep contributing, because I'd like to see a giant list of Melee/Old School Nintendo Music. =)

Can somebody put up the music on a site that allows you to listen to it instead of downloading it please. I just want to listen to the songs, I don't want to download them....
