Jason Michael Paul has been producing The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert for the past several years. It’s the only major concert has done, but it’s not for a lack of interest.
Earlier in the year, Paul said he wanted to make a Nintendo All Star concert. In a new interview with GamesIndustry, he also stated that ht’s created a proposal for a Super Mario symphony that he hopes will stick. Unfortunately, Paul noted that his idea for a Super Smash Symphony won’t happen since it’s “too complicated.”
