Opening was pretty cool, pretty beefy. Once the melody came in at :23, it felt a bit empty, but only in the sense of waiting for the further build. Saw at :47 was a bit bland, but overall it seemed like the texture was alright. The original writing on the synths brought in at 1:10 sounded a bit aimless at first blush, but it's pretty relaxed. About 1:30 in, it feels like there's not much going on as far as dynamics, so I see where the NOs are coming from about a lack of development throughout. It's definitely in 1 gear, maybe 1 and a half gears. I didn't think that was as much of a problem as they did, but I felt like the synth handling the original writing brought in from 1:58-on didn't fit the bill, and that tipped the balance toward a NO. NOT feeling the tone of the synth brought in from 1:58-2:22. Just squeaky and abrasive, arguably off-key as well. I know it's literally not off-key, but the way it hits some of the higher notes sounds strange, and it's mixed too loudly compared to everything else. Pretty jarring. Ah, it's back from 2:45-3:09 after a brief break. I think with a different sound, that part could work, as the writing seemed OK. Tweak that and see what other additive ideas or instrument changeups you could weave in and out to give this some further variation. The tempo being steady wasn't a big deal to me, but the lack of development is a valid criticism, and that synth at 1:58 being abrasive while being a major part of the song made me lean NO. That said, this could definitely be improved to where it would make it; don't be discouraged, David, this is way in the right direction and needs just a bit more. Address some concerns of these other NOs that you feel are valid and hit us with a fresh take. NO (resubmit)

Yep, you're in. Also, we miss your dreamcrushing. ;-P

Happy writing!

Amaterasu (Okami) Pikachu (Pokemon) Skull Kid (Zelda) Proto Man (Mega Man) Vyse (Skies of Arcadia) These are our top 5 mascot contenders with 2 weeks left. There's almost no chance these 5 don't make it into the top 10 winners. Who wants to preemptively claim these? P.S. Who knew VYSE was what was hot in the streets?

I could see dropping the semicolon and "naturally" from that first sentence in the last para and just making 2 sentences. There's no need for the two thoughts to be connected by the semicolon, although it's not a big deal.

Movie was awesome. Anyone on the fence, don't be. Go see it.

You'd have to ask him; the version on OCR as a single mix was the same as the album version, AFAIK. I'll check it, but that just may be how the track is.

It'll be fixed in the next torrent update, which should be sometime in the next month or so. We definitely know about it.

Yeah, leave "Free Bird". Or in this case SAVE FREE BIRD! This is the only bio where a "Free Bird" joke fits right in.

Cool. Overlooked it because his credit on MobyGames was below the Music credit. Will update it soon.

Since K.K.'s wrapping up, just putting this out there again for anyone that wants first dibs.

In the case of Valis III, the EGG Music album had track names that either matched up to the usage for the Genesis version or were neutral and weren't location or stage names that would need to be verified for another platform. So there, I'm good, though whatever names you find could be alternate names. Some of them are the same. Mercenary (NES| )TX-55 Metal Gear (NES| )Escape -Beyond Big Boss- (NES| )Return of Fox Hounder (NES| )Just Another Dead Soldier (NES| )Thanks for correcting me with more of a side-by-side comparison. It doesn't sound like any of these are source tunes for the mixes we have, but I'll have to familiarize myself with those 4 mixes again. Not sure why you're saying the entire series needs to be updated, this is just about listing missing source tunes for ReMixes. "Theme of Laura" is definitely there for the beginning for that mix, so I'll add that.

Ha. Nah, it's fine. I don't see any problem with it. You only live once, so why not actually have fun with it? A fun Kickstarter with a bare minimum goal is getting people talking. These guys get it. Sounds like a promotional win to me.

Yeah, all those suggestions are all unofficial/fan-made song titles, so I can't really use all those. Any song names from SNESmusic or Project 2612 can't be taken at face value. I've got Valis III and Tinhead done. Valis III had an official PC Engine soundtrack release in 2007 that gave me some proper names, i.e. not the 2612 ones. The Tinhead names seemed decent, but I had to find the manual to properly format the track name. Splatterhouse has an official soundtrack release from late last year, so any names I use will be taken from that IF I can find some previews somewhere. The Shadow of the Beast song-names are just fan-made; I'm not aware of any official OST. The MSX Metal Gear soundtrack doesn't actually share any songs at all with the NES as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why those got linked. Research on this stuff is tough, to say the least, and I'll certainly end up settling for some unofficial titles, but I do my best not to.

Why'd you list THAT? The song titles were never missing from that one, it's an FF6 piece. That said, this has been a mini-project of mine for a few months at djp's request, and I've recently filled out source tunes for mixes from Breath of Fire, Boogerman, Ghosts'n Goblins (C64), Skate or Die (C64 & NES), Spy vs. Spy (C64 & NES), F-Zero X Expansion Kit, Great Greed, Obliterator, Descent II, RoboCop, Lotus II R.E.C.S., Metroid Prime 3, Slalom, Klax, Stormlord, Mach Rider, Lost Patrol, The Human Race, SimCity 2000, Highway Hunter, Super Star Soldier, M.C. Kids, Kung Fu, Demon's Crest, Gaiares, Blazing Lazers, Splatterhouse 3, Tomb Raider, Zanac, Wizball, Terminator 2, Crystalis, The Last Ninja, Ultima IV, Ultima Online, William Wobbler, Gauntlet III, Ultraman 2, Vortex, E.V.O., X-Out, Solar Jetman, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Ninja Gaiden II, Sonic Crackers, Luigi's Mansion, Escape from Monkey Island, Awesome, Raptor, DarXide, Ecco the Dolphin (GEN), Lemmings, Jurassic Park (GEN & SNES), Heroes of Might and Magic II, Fear Effect, Gauntlet, Linus Spacehead, Shivers, Tecmo Cup, Revolution X, Star Fox 2, Shadow of the Beast I, II & III, The Legend of Kyrandia, Wizardry, Shadowgate, Extreme-G, IronSword: Wizards & Warriors II, Shining Force III, StarTropics, MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, Lords of the Realm II, Top Gear 1 & 2, Metal Gear, Monkey Island 2, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, Rayman 2, Illusion of Gaia, and Wario Land II. Lots of one-offs, but important for me nonetheless. So, missing songs ARE being investigated. As far as songs for stuff like Illusion of Gaia and other games, I'll look into some more of those things when I have some free time. But generally speaking, I dislike using any unofficial, fan-made or generic track names. For example, I know Top Gear 2 has some location names used for the SPCs, but there are actually multiple locations associated for each track, not just one, so I'll have to see if there's a better way to reflect that. If not, maybe we can use what you have. I rely on manuals, official soundtracks, playthroughs (when available), and endorsed names by the copyright holder or composers for naming information. I already have a list of games lacking songs for their ReMixes. Anyone's research is appreciated! • all ReMix source tunes researched as of July 2017

No idea, but some initial sources: http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/K.K._Slider http://nookipedia.com/wiki/K.K._Slider http://animalcrossing.neoseeker.com/wiki/K.K._Slider http://www.ssbwiki.com/K.K._Slider http://nookipedia.com/wiki/List_of_K.K._Songs http://animalcrossing.neoseeker.com/wiki/K.K._Slider_Songs_(ACCF) http://animalcrossing.neoseeker.com/wiki/K.K_Slider_List_of_Songs_(ACWW) EDIT: Also, I'm more than willing to call it that Amaterasu, Pikachu, and Skull Kid will DEFINITELY make it into the next group of added mascots at this rate. Anyone wanna start those?

They are removed. The images were removed. There's nothing wrong with the bios being in the Wiki, so they will always be there, just sans images.

Been watching this Teddie bio progress and continue to be impressed with how you guys collectively improve it.

Video has to be the same version as the OCR one.

We'll update the main video later. You're overthinking things, but only because we already thunk them. So yes, this was done a while ago, you just didn't notice it, when there's a video by the artist and we know of it, we link that.

No, and that naming convention wasn't a problem to begin with, so that speculation's inaccurate.

He said Reyn, so count that as a write-in #1 and push the others down.

We can defer to the bio editors' judgement, though if you think it's a huge spoiler, then feel free to take it out.

No worries, if it's a spoiler, then there's no need to include that info, I just noticed the human form and a bunch of in-game pics of that on the Wikia page.
