Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Have you wondered who the composer is behind Splatoon’s music? It’s none other than Toru Minegishi, according to the 245th of Nintendo Dream.
Minegishi is a well-known composer at Nintendo having spent over 15 years at the company. He has worked on Zelda games (Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and the DS games), Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D World, and more.
Minegishi has typically worked with other composers. Splatoon might be the first game where he is the only person responsible for the soundtrack.

Breaking news! One of our interns recently saw a squid guy fall into a creek during a turf war, and guess what?! The squid dissolved! This suggests that these creatures can’t maintain a solid form when submerged in water. Does this mean that they’re actually made of liquid? The mystery deepens…

Takahashi insisted on having Hiroyuki Sawano handle Xenoblade Chronicles X’s music
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Today’s Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter update once again comes from director Tetsuya Takahashi. He (very) briefly touches on the game’s music – specifically composer Hiroyuki Sawano.
Here’s the latest from Takahashi:
“I was thinking of discussing a new topic today, but… Mr. Sawano, thank you for inviting me to your year-end party. I had a great time there.”
“And so, let me talk about the composer, Mr. Hiroyuki Sawano. I’ve long been a big fan of Mr. Sawano’s, and fervently suggested (almost insisted?) that we ask him to compose for this game no matter what.”
“He and Mr. [Yasushi] Horiguchi, from his company Legendoor, are both open-hearted and we were able to have a frank discussion regarding our requirements.”
“Of course, the compositions are wonderful and I’m very glad we asked Mr. Sawano [to come aboard]. As a fan, I look forward to the soundtrack CD that will eventually be released.”
