    My biggest problem is the lack of writers credited in app. I shouldn't have to search the game credits on Moby games or in the actual game to find who wrote the song I'm listening to in app. It makes it harder to find music I might not have been interested in, and it's just not cool.

    • @IronBlaze77
      @IronBlaze77 Місяць тому +46

      That’s the same thing I said on NintendoLife’s video-it’s so odd. As someone who obsesses over composer credits, it sucks that it’s absent in the app; every composer _deserves_ to be credited for their amazing work. Also, as much as I like Splatoon crediting the in-universe bands, I’d love a setting or toggle to show either the band or the real-life composer, or both.
      By the way, I recommend VGMdb when it comes to credits for official soundtrack releases. They have screenshots of the physical soundtrack CDs, track lists in English and Japanese (if applicable), and even individual performers, be it lead singers or instrumentalists. If _they_ don’t list the credits, the physical release most likely doesn’t credit a composer per track (like _Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes_ or _Animal Crossing New Leaf,_ for instance). MobyGames is great for everything else, though.

    • @Logos729
      @Logos729 Місяць тому +14

      I've been constantly wondering how the smash ultimate soundtrack on this would work ever since they released this thing, they'd likely omit all "original" tracks that were ripped direct from other games cuz many are redundant since they'd also be in their own game's osts, but that also removes many 3rd party tracks that would never come to the music app in the first place? Also 3rd parties in general, would they really manage to license them for use in their own music app, or would they end up also oddly omitted?
      Honestly I'm betting they're going to skip smash soundtracks in this app altogether to avoid these problems, which is unfortunate cuz there's so many good smash-original tracks, as well as fully Nintendo-themed remixes that deserve to be included!!

For example, they have the arrangement copyright for the Mega Man remixes, but not for the Final Fantasy remixes. I'm sure they'd still need permission from the composition copyright holders anyway, but maybe some of the third party remixes could be included. I think the only 3rd party representation on the Smash 4 Smashing Soundtrack CD was PAC-MAN, but that was probably easier since Bandai Namco co-developed Smash 4.

    2.) The fire temple from OoT is just the beginning part. I know this song was the topic of some controversy due to sampling back in the day so itll be interesting to see if they "censor" other songs.
    Also just wanna note 4 soundtracks im interested in seeing are 3ds system music, Xenoblade Chronicles series, Fire emblem 3 houses, and Smash bros. As for smash i wonder how theyll even do smash because theres so many ways they can go about it. They could do only do smash original music or include remixes, or include the non remixed stuff too, and then of course theres 3rd party music in there too, which is another can of worms.

Not so with Music. That is more of an arrange, get cover art, drop in, and add the search tags. No coding or adjustments needed.

    5 general wishes for the app outside of games to add:
    1. Totally agree that composer credits should be added. We have splatoon playlists for the in-game music artists, which in its own way is still cool. But no mention of the irl creators?! Not cool.
    2. The landscape mode for the app is terribly zoomed in and should be improved
    3. Options to change music speed. Especially when games such as Mario Galaxy does that in-game for boss fights, yet the app can’t recreate those
    4. Personal wish is adding a way to see song lyrics for vocal tracks. Give us the most accessible way possible to sing-a-long to Jump Up Superstar (and hopefully someday Lifelight from Smash Ultimate🙏🏻)
    5. The options to extend for an hour is nice, but still restricted to 4 options? Perhaps some day we can get the option to choose any number of minutes or hours that we want with no limits

Not only should they credit them but some commemorative video interviewing the composers about how the music came about would also be fantastic!

      @@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269 Thing is a lot of the featured albums like Splatoon 3, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey etc., even Tomodachi Collection do have physical OST releases. From what I've seen they just copied the tracklists and possibly the mastered tracks over for the service. Said OST releases generally do have full composer credits, even track by track performer credits in the case of Mario Kart 8. This information is in theory publicly available, so I don't see why they would omit it now.
      Unless there are some issues with people who have since left Nintendo and went freelance, like Ryo Nagamatsu (worked on, among other things, Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 & Wii, A Link Between Worlds). But I don't get why they wouldn't be credited like anyone else.

    My early experiences with VGM was using the built in music catalogues in PS1 Squaresoft rereleases (Final Fantasy Chronicles Chrono Trigger and both games in Anthology, especially), which generally meant unlocking the songs by playing the game, then running it from the system menu in the game on my TV. I didn't own either collection, I borrowed them from friends, so I didn't get the music CD's if they were included (which I'm pretty sure it was in Anthology at least). Before that, if I liked the music on a game I would have to play to or from that point in the game and just pause it (which I think I did with Donkey Kong Country a few times, and I definitely let LoZ: ALttP run the music a few times, too).
    I found out about the app the night before last, so Oct. 30. I was very disappointed that neither Luigi's Mansion nor a Halloween playlist were already available. I managed to make one for myself, but it was only 16 tracks long because I included some Bowser themes and a couple tracks from Metroid. Also, from the selection of games to start, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of albums outside of Switch titles, but especially for NES/Famicom and SNES/Super Famicom. I really wanted some early Zelda, though I did appreciate (and listen to the entirety of) DKC first. Since Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are already on it, I'm also hopeful that some older Pokémon titles will be added later, especially Red/Blue/Yellow and Diamond/Pearl.
    Of what is already available, DKC is my favorite, followed by Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I haven't explored the Wii album much except to play Wii Shop Channel, so I'm looking forward to getting to the rest of it later.

    I've seen a few complaints, yet even with 23 albums featuring roughly a thousand songs *(edit: make that roughly 2,400 songs - not a joke)* is not an easy task. Keep in mind that tracking through even the older OST and especially placing all of these songs in is no simple task. Like adding released music to our daily listening playlists, this process takes plenty of time. It's better than nothing and especially better late than never. As far as composers and writers goes, we can just view the credits of certain video games. The fact that they are doing this, even with no credited sources (potentially yet), is an homage of appreciation towards their musical contributors; themselves; and us, their fans.

      ​@@meyadin5844yeah not just licensing hell but a ton of the ost is tracks directly from other games, which might end up also being added someday causing redundancies, so if it comes out it's gonna end up a selection of tracks that made sense to add, and tracks they could even get the license to add, likely significantly decreasing the amount of tracks included
      Plus you gotta wonder if they'd add the other smash games, which smash ultimate has almost the entirety of in itself as well. Personally I would only include the newly added tracks for each game, but would Nintendo do that?

    It’s so amazing they finally did sth like this after all these years of people begging for a way to listen to the damn music somewhere reliably as they just continued to delete videos of UA-cam without providing an alternative, and with an extension option too! Hell yes! But man I really hope they add more games quick. There’s like no Pokémon music on it rn, SMG but no SMG2? Basically no Wii games or DS Games or 3DS games? No Mario RPGs at all, the M&L games or Paper Mario, only a single DK game, they better not take months to add new music or this will barely even be worth it
