The results are in! Sorry for the wait; I’ve been busy with that whole “taking a holiday” thing, but I’m finally back with the Internet’s latest 2013 retrospective. On this two-hour long podcast I’m counting down the top ten game soundtracks of 2013 (on Nintendo platforms) as voted by Nintendo Everything readers. The colossal playlist of quality tracks is broken up by me reading out your comments and various synonyms for the word “song”. I was testing out a new microphone, so my apologies if you can’t understand a word I’m saying.

You can find the podcast right here!

edit: Seems Google Drive wasn’t too happy about the massive influx of traffic so I’ve also uploaded the podcast here.

If you want to know what soundtrack took the coveted #1 spot you should probably just listen to the podcast, but I’ve included the results over the break anyway.

ON THIS EPISODE: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds dominates discussion throughout the episode, but we also hear a bit about FTL from Austin, Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies from Laura, and Braid/Proteus/Counter Strike GO from Jack.

ALSO: Listener mail has us talking about the best way to spend eShop bucks.

AND: A discussion about the consequences of the new item system in A Link Between Worlds rounds out the ending.

ON THIS EPISODE: Parks and Recreation is a good– but not great– show (or is it?). Proteus has more to it than meets the eye. The Wii U is still selling pretty poorly, which isn’t great.

PLUS: Listener mail about gaming difficulty and its effects on the medium’s merits, how long it takes us to judge a game after playing it, and more!

Above: Proteus sure is nice looking, eh?

The second recording of episode 70 (the first was lost) features the following: Super Mario 3D World is better single player! Proteus is trippy, immersive, and interesting! Wind Waker HD has a very frustrating sidequest! PLUS: Listener mail about the Wii U’s lifespan and whether spoiled gamers are to blame for Wii U’s misery. AND: A discussion about immersive games, and what makes a game immersive vs. not.

How much does death affect the story of a game? How many times can you re-play a section before it starts to take away from a narrative experience? If you’ve ever wanted insight into what might make games tick with respect to this idea, this is the episode for you. Aside from that we discuss ‘Papers, Please’, ‘Super Mario 3D World’, and ‘Wind Waker HD’, as well as tackling plenty of listener mail. Enjoy!

Jack says that this was a pretty good episode, and I think I agree! Lots of talk about Super Mario 3D World and how Mario games should be or are judged, some talk of Mighty Switch Force 2, Ocarina of Time, Jett Rocket II, and Laura’s new 3DS XL during what we played, and then a whole heaping pile of listener mail rounds out the show. So far so good!
