Tribute Album 64 To Celebrate 20 Years of the Nintendo 64
The North American anniversary of the launch of the iconic Nintendo 64 console is coming up this Thursday, and it’s not going uncelebrated. The folks over at Patient Corgi (Super VG Christmas Party, SOUND WAVES: A Tribute to Ecco the Dolphin) decided to put together a massive fan tribute album to mark the momentous occasion!
Tribute Album 64 will be a huge 87-track mega album done by a large assortment of bands and musicians within the video game music community over five discs covering the greatest the Nintendo 64 had to offer us all.
“Some of the most beloved themes in all of video game history were born on this console from the minds of great composers like Koji Kondo, Grant Kirkhope, Robin Beanland, Kazumi Totaka, Graeme Norgate, and so many others. We’re incredibly thankful for the astounding number of talented bands and artists that have teamed up with us to pay tribute to the music of this iconic system, and I personally couldn’t be happier with the result. Be sure to check out the contributors’ websites for more great music (and the same goes for the original composers). Enjoy, and thanks for listening!”— Ian Luckey, ProducerAn astounding number of bands and artists is right. Patient Corgi have been kind enough to share with OSV the final track listing for Tribute Album 64, which you can see after the cut! -

New Super Guitar Bros Album “Nice” Now Available
September 21, 2016 | Brenna Wilkes | Comments Off on New Super Guitar Bros Album “Nice” Now Available Share this
The acoustic duo known around as the Super Guitar Bros. (aka. Sam Griffin & Steve Poissant) have at long last released their second full-length album as a follow up to their self-titled premier album in 2013. The new album, “Nice”, features 17 tracks spanning several classic games such as Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania III and of course several Super Mario titles. It also features some of the most interesting album art for a VGM release I’ve seen since entering the community, which can take as you may.
The album is currently in digital format on Bandcamp at a “Pay What You Want” price, or as a physical CD for $10. The duo recently performed at San Francisco Comic-Con and PAX West 2016, and, you can also catch the Bros. streaming regularly on their Twitch channel for live practice, mini-performances and other shenanigans.

There’s been a lot of Gamechops material coming out lately, and a lot of Pokémon activity going on in the gaming world. It thus just makes sense that the two would eventually combine.
For your viewing pleasure, you can check out Grimecraft‘s interesting take on the Pokémon bike theme paired with footage from the games, cartoon series, and custom CG segments by Curse Gamepedia. (And an additional little musical shoutout at the very end.)
The music comes from Grimecraft’s 2013 PokéEP, which you can grab for free over on his Bandcamp page. -

GameChops Tribute to Metroid 30th Anniversary with Elysian Sky
September 2, 2016 | Brenna Wilkes | Comments Off on GameChops Tribute to Metroid 30th Anniversary with Elysian Sky Share this
A little something for your Friday before the holiday weekend! The 30th anniversary of Metroid is something to celebrate all the rest of the year, and GameChops has made no exceptions. Musician and artist Varien has created a funky, dubstep-like original tribute to Metroid, with a video that combines footage from “The Sky Calls” by Rainfall Films and gameplay cinematics from Metroid Prime.
Whether you’re a dubstep fan or not, the video is still a great piece of work and a commendable homage to Metroid and it’s legacy.
