Mario Party composer says nearly 200 songs were scrapped from the soundtrack
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Yasunori Mitsuda, the original composer for Mario Party, has now shared some interesting information about the first game’s soundtrack. Twitter user gosokkyu came through with the translation. Mario Party 1 and 2 just landed on Nintendo Switch Online as part of the service’s Expansion Pack tier, so it makes sense for this information to come to light now.
Mitsuda mentioned how Mario Party was his first freelance gig, and the music director told him they wanted “jazz”. However, all of his songs were rejected. Ultimately he scrapped almost 200 pieces of music from the initial Mario Party soundtrack, which is a personal record for him. It turns out that the music director was looking for big band jazz specifically rather than just simple jazz, so Mitsuda has “the bitter memory of being like, ‘seriously?!'”

Fire Emblem Engage introduces Sigurd
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The character introductions for Fire Emblem Engage have continued today, and this time around we have a few details about Sigurd. A little bit of footage has come in as well. Per usual, updates were posted on the official Japanese Twitter account.
Sigurd is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa in the Japanese version. As translated by Serenes Forest, he’s also known as the Emblem of the Holy War and is a quintessential knight who has inherited the blood of the Crusaders. Sigurd has high mobility, so characters who equip his ring can move further than usual. This also lets them move a bit after attacking, to do things like hiding in a thicket.
