My Music in Smash 4

[mygamecube]

Do you think Smash 4's soundtrack should be implemented the way Brawl's was designed? Or, do you think Sakurai and his team should go back to the way they had it in Melee?

I loved the music in Brawl and how you could select how often songs play on each stage and even the main menus. It was overwhelming, to say the least. Would you want it back for the new Smash and what would you change about it?

On the flip side, do you think they should keep it simple and only have one main song and one alt song per stage, like in Melee? It would probably save some development time (and stress) on Sakurai's end.

Me personally, I think they can go ahead and do the My Music feature again, they just don't have to crazy on the amount of music they put into the game.

Brawl's soundtrack was amazing and one of the best selections in the series, but it was pretty imbalanced in terms of My Music. Some songs you just couldn't hear all the time because one particular stage would have a ton of songs you could choose from.

I don't think it should be such a hard thing to develope. I don't even think Sakurai has to worry about it, not to underestimate the work they do, but even a minor team should be able to do it, no?
The My Music feature should definitely come back, I don't think it's that space-wasting, and once again, it doesn't seem hard to the point to stress Sakurai. But it is unbalanced.

Probably the same as Brawl.
Don't think that giving less work to the musicians will in any way effect the work load of those working on the gameplay.

I don't see why you would want to go back to Melee's style. Brawl's was so much more advanced and expansive.

The huge music library of Brawl gave the developers more ways to reference Nintendo's history. We got a lot of obscure songs from old Nintendo games in there, some in their original forum and some neatly remixed, despite characters from those games not actually making an appearance. It was very nice. One of my favorite things about Brawl.

I thought this was a thread about being able to put your own music into the next Smash.
Sadly, unlike the 3DS and Wii the Wii U doesn't seem to have any means of playing Mp3s.
Maybe somebody will find out how to convert Mp3s into the Smash Bros Music format on the Wii U like they did with Brawl.


ANYWAY...
I hope to see them expand upon the My Music feature from Brawl, possibly let us set any song to any stage or menu?
Although the selection of music they gave to each stage fit them perfectly, it couldn't hurt to just let us select whatever song we want for the stage...

Ooh I know! Let's have Tom Nook's store playing on Castle Siege SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!

I Like It

???.

The joke, Dakota Bonez suggested we had ANY song on any stage we want, I countered that with the prospect of having tom nook's store on castle siege and other confusing combinations. And also another thing, though it would be cool it would also make my music even harder to manage, OK I could slide the likelihood of 10 songs appearing but 200? XD

Sure

I LOVE the My Music feature in Brawl and I think it should be expanded in SSB4. I don't think that there will be a giant group of people to work on the music this time around, but I do see the amount of songs to be big and will mostly be in their original forms (so, not as many remixes).

I think that it should be expanded to not being limited to playing certain songs on specific stages. I hope that we can customize what songs should go on what stages (whether they are fitting or not). For example and hypothetically, let's say I want to listen to Live & Learn on Final Destination, but the song is limited to Green Hill Zone. How about we could have the option to have the song play on Final Destination if we wanted; whether it's by moving the song to that stage or have both stages play that song. That would be one thing I would love to see in My Music and how I think it should be expanded.

No reason not to do this.

And as long as they recruit a good team for music, I'm fine with anything.
