162 - A Very Nintendo Summer

The Switch 2 is here! Is what we would have opened with had this episode gone up on time. Still, Nintendo's latest is the newest console on the market and it's doing pretty well, so we gathered up some fans of Nintendo music for this one. To try something new and to celebrate a wider range of Nintendo music history, each panelist was allowed to choose one non-RPG song, which resulted in a great episode of both expected and unexpected musical choices.Even branching out like this barely scratches the surface of Nintendo's long music history, but we gotta start somewhere! If you're still reading this, we both know there's only one way to kick this off: Let's-a-go!Featuring: Mike Salbato, Gio Castillo, Matt Wardell, Tom Cox; Edited by Mike SalbatoTracklistBlock of Affection0:27:38 - ‌Because I Love You (Keiichi Suzuki, arranged by Kenji Kondo) - Mother 1+20:31:01 - Caring (Kazuki Komai) - Fire Emblem EngageGiants and Monsters0:47:24 - ‌Yellow Giant (2023 Remaster) (Tatsuhiko Asano) - Doshin the Giant0:49:54 - Ecruteak City (Go Ichinose) - Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilverButter Galaxy1:16:46 - ‌Gusty Garden Galaxy (Mahito Yakota) - Super Mario Galaxy1:19:10 - Butter Building (Tomoya Tomita, Jun Ishikawa, Hirokazu Ando) - Kirby's Epic YarnFrom the Stars1:38:08 - ‌Title (Kenji Yamamoto) - Metroid Prime1:40:16 - Fight Against Smithy (Yoko Shimomura) - Super Mario RPG (Remake)2:09:40 - Tom's Bonus Track! Album links for places to buy, stream, and more are available in our post on RPGFan.Get in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: [email protected]: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
