I've been out of the VGM loop for a long time and while this isn't pertaining to the album entry in the database, I do have a question.
There's another message board I browse and somebody is trying to get rid of his copy of this soundtrack for $100. Is this a good price? He says the case is cracked, though it can be replaced and that everything else is in mint condition. |

Well, if it's legitimate, that price is considerably lower than what that album usually fetches on YJA. I've seen auctions for that album end well over 20,000 yen. In fact, it's rare that the opening bid on that album is under 10,000 yen.

Yeah, I figured as much that auctions for it would end around the $200 (20,000 yen) range. I did PM him asking to take pictures of it as well, though I've yet to hear a response from him. Won't be buying if it's a boot, of course.

I am changing "Barret Volcano" with "Barrel Volcano". I'm sure it's a typo.

Yes it was. I tweaked a bit the translation and fixed a couple of mistakes. Most of the tracks used JP names but some used US names instead. I changed those to their JP counterparts for consistency (having all western names is fine too).
Also, "Kajioh" (Smithy) was misspelt as "Kajidoh". That sure lasted long. |

I'm not really an expert about super mario games, but except for "hello from the pipe", "long long ago", "heart beating" (and maybe "the end") tracks, the rest sounds like brandnew to me not featured
if someone is more expert in super mario games than I am and knows this soundtrack, they could tell if those other tracks are original tia |

EDIT: Now after posting the stuff below, I realize I think you were asking if these are just taken directly from other games and not arrangements. The answer there is no. Everything is unique to this game, including "Long Long Ago..." and "Heart Beating a Little Faster", which copy the arrangements and attempt to copy the sound of the originals, but are still slightly different.
"Aboveground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. is used in "Let's Try", "Super Pipe House", "Let's Play 'Geno'", "Long Long Ago...", "Heart Beating a Little Faster", and "The End!" "World 1 Map" from Super Mario Bros. 3 is used in "In the Flower Garden" and "Super Pipe House". "King Koopa" from Super Mario Bros. 3 is used in "Fight Against Koopa" and "Koopa Castle (Second Time)". "Bonus Level/Invincible BGM" from Super Mario Bros. is used in "Nice Star". "Underground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. is used in "Hello from the Pipe" and "The Axem Rangers Drop In". "Warning" and "Miss" from Super Mario Bros. are used in "Heart Beating a Little Faster". That covers all tracks on which Koji Kondo is credited for original score. By the way, note the ingenious way Shimomura combined Mario 3's "World 1 Map" with the Super Mario theme.

even "long long ago" ?
it sounds like super mario bros stages with the time out (not arranged, I mean) |

I have to agree with _if here, as these arrangements have some subtle yet noticeable differences with the original Above Ground BGM.

Great soundtrack, arguably the best game music from any of the Mario RPGs.
But I'm not gonna lie--there are some dang weird song titles on this OST. (I really wish there had been a localized version of this album because I'd love to see what the official English titles would've been.) |
#11

Yeah, it's my favorite Shimomura soundtrack by quite a lot. So much energy and wonder, while keeping perfectly in line with the Mario universe.
I really want it, but it's possibly the most expensive non-obscure vgm album in existence. |

3rded. This is the only soundtrack of Shimomura's I'm a diehard fan of. Both the compositions and the way the SNES samples are (primarily the bass) are top notch. It's just a fun romp the entire time.

Question.
I have this album and came across this on wikipedia: Quote:

There's not really much missing from the album and 73 tracks total seems a rather arbitrary number because it depends on how you define what's missing and I'm kinda confused as to how that was the number that Wikipedia editor settled on. All of the battle themes go wonky and slow down and lower in pitch if you lose and get a game over, so do those count as missing tracks? The stuff not present is basically just variations/fragments of full-length tracks and musical sound effects.
I'm a completist in disposition, but I have to say there aren't really any substantial pieces of music missing, and much of what is would have been hard to integrate into an album listening experience, like those wonky battle themes. You're certainly not losing out on 12 tracks that equate to what's on the album. |

Does anyone know if the Nintendo Switch remake will have a formal digital or physical soundtrack release? Does Square Emix or Nintendo own the phonographic copyright for the audio?

Since Nintendo is the publisher of the remake, they held the copyright for the music. And lately they are quite inconsistent with late releases: some games having a full or partial physical soundtrack, some having a in-game music player (full or not), others having nothing at not.
Judging the team behind this remake (TOSE and SQEX team affiliated with third party games) and maybe some ex-AlphaDream designers, it would be likely a in-game music player... But if they ever do a physical soundtrack, that would be nice x) |

Has there been any word of a new soundtrack release? Was hoping there would be some dual release similarly to how the remake for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was released with the original and arrangement included.

The game has just released, so waiting is our only option ^^'
Plus, Nintendo tend to publish their physical soundtrack a whole year after the game release now, so maybe next year ? (If they ever released it outside the in-game sound player...) |
#23
|

|

Also, Nintendo hasn't really been publishing soundtracks lately (except for select properties like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem). No new official Mario, Zelda, or Kirby soundtracks in several years, for instance, not since the early Nintendo Switch era.
I doubt this will be getting an updated OST release. |
#24

Maybe Basiscape will help out releasing a soundtrack? Some people like Masaaki Kaneko were involved here (as Sound Director for the remake) along with Yoshimi Kudo.
Nintendo really sucks when it comes to soundtrack releases. I'm really surprised they didn't release a Collector's Edition for this new game, with a soundtrack bundled within for example. |
#25

|

It might be released by SQEX Music, like Live A Live ? (But it's not the same thing because LAL was a SQEX-only game, which isn't the case here)
We can always dream that, through Nintendo's future partnership with Sony (the Legend of Zelda movie), N will change their minds and allow their soundtracks to be streamed via NexTone or another streaming giant... (But I highly doubt that would happen ^^') |
