Super Mario Galaxy 2 will have orchestrated music

Even though Super Mario Galaxy’s gameplay is fantastic, one of the title’s main highlights is the use of orchestrated music. When Galaxy 2 was revealed, the trailer featured a MIDI composition and led many to believe that the actual game would have similar tunes. Nintendo has confirmed otherwise, though. One final nugget confirmed by Nintendo at their media summit today is that the final, shipped version of Galaxy 2 will indeed contain orchestrated music.
