I see the vgmdb update; Malcos' track in there and an m decapitalized.

All right, so it's practically correct in the art. Good! If Larry can fix it for the metadata, it'd be sweet, though not entirely necessary.

Yes, it is much appreciated! While we're on the subject, I notice the Mega Man II track title is capitalized wrong (for Finnish) in the vgmdb: instead of "Miljoonamiehen Muistelmat" it should be "Miljoonamiehen muistelmat" - that is, the second word starts in lowercase. Titles are capitalized different in Finnish than English. (I'll PM this to Larry too in case this fix can make it in)

Holding my breath here. Assuming everything's working out -- fantastic! Props to The Coop for being able to do the edit on a short notice, and Larry certainly as well!

Aw, that's really too bad. :/

Both tracks are too good.

That's definitely great news! I love the ThaSauce compo system, and it's great to hear it's fixed & and there will be improvements.

Watch this space. EDIT: I felt like making a new thread to grab control of the first post; with apologies to The Mighty Kelp! Please join in the drive!

We used to play this a lot over at a friend's. Got to let him know about this round. There's a bit that I like in the source, maybe I can make something out of it.

15th Anniversary of GBA would be in 2016! edit: I'll claim Minish Cap.

I'll send a WIP in for a Castlevania 3 track shortly. Some thoughts about the project concept below: About track selection: almost all of those well known games have been covered numerous times. SMB1, almost all of Mega Man, the first Zelda and Metroid have been done numerous times in many different styles. The NES/Famicom Final Fantasy games have or will have full dedicated OCR albums. I makes sense to include those well known games of course, but it'd be great if the directors and arrangers took care to pick tracks that are less arranged - such as on your list, from SMB3, the Airship and Athletic themes have no arrangements on OCR, which is good. And if the sources have been done already (SMB Overworld), do them in a style that hasn't been done before (you'll have to think hard about that!). Kid Icarus is a good game to do, a Nintendo original that hasn't been done to death. There's a ton of games on NES, a huge variety of stuff with tons of less known but still great music. It'd be great to showcase that variety and unearth some gems for the people alongside the stuff they are already familiar with! Overall I think this is a great idea for a project, it is timely and it's not too far away - this worked great for the Game Boy project reboot (coming out just next week!) so I do hope this gets off the ground. Good luck, and I'll be sending in my WIP soon!

Do rank Pleiade somewhere in your list (example, ), he was quite keen of the project idea and it'd be great to get him to do VGM arrangements again. =)

Sweet trailer is sweet!

Oh? I could be there.

Oooh a Jivebird talkback? Let me witness.

I dunno, his last mix is from like 2009, does he even read these forums anymore? Happy birthday! Maybe this year I'll find a pretzel to celebrate with.

Indeed, kudos to all the hard-working butts all around the globe!

Good arrangement. The way it progresses, grows and pulls back and develops the instrumentation sounds very thoughtful and is both easy and rewarding to listen to. I like the string work. It's quite buried under everything else though. I think there's more work to be done in giving each instrument their space with levels, EQ, stereo placement, and possibly reverb. There also seems to be little in the way of bass, a solid bass might help to glue things together and help the other instrumentation to find the balance. The loudest hits of the djembe are quite loud and make the percussion sound mechanical. Guitar is, like everyone mentions, quite mechanical. Trying to let the previous notes ring longer might indeed help. The sound is also kind of hard. Very very cool arrangement on the guitar alone though.

Submitted!

That's a cool list, thanks for linking! I took a couple of comparison listens. is pretty interesting to listen to, it's quite similar indeed but at the same time it's clearly(?) not a note-for-note copy, didn't check the 2:00 bit more closely though.From a bit of cursory comparison of to , it seemed very close but not quite the same. I have an old WIP that I'm thinking of working on some more, but I couldn't be bothered if it wasn't applicable for OCR.And oh man, ..

Kinda alright! Green with envy for the chops and talent and everything and enjoying the hell out of this. Props for getting props from Mitsuda as well.

I have something fun going on.

Temporus happily got funded! They'll be setting up PayPal for preorders/stuff which will count towards the stretch goals, I hope that remix album becomes a reality.

It'll be coming! edit: Sent! Still had to leave a few holes in the arrangement and couldn't put every bit of the source(s) I was intending, but I'm pretty happy with what I could achieve. I obviously need to gauge a bit better what I can achieve in what time. I really needed the extension and used pretty much all of it (not that I had every moment of the week for making this thing but anyway!)

I most likely won't be entering, the rRPC deadline is the same as PRC's this round.
