wait...
an orchestrated score for a nintendo game? What happened when Zelda was released?
@ virus2566:
Twilight Princess was not orchestrated.
People should also check out the chat about the "Essence of Mario" featuring Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata.
The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. I have almost forty stars and the soundtrack just keeps getting better. I never minded them not being orchestrated...but now that I've heard it I could never go back.
I listened to some of the music from Galaxy the other day and, I have to admit, it is gorgeous.
This makes the wait until Monday morning all the more painful.
I would like to hear some samples of this soundtrack. It sounds like Koji put LOTS of effort into this one.
I can't wait to play this game. OMFG
Koji Kondo said in old interview:
"Mario tunes reflect the action-oriented nature of the gameplay, while Zelda tunes accentuate ambiance of the environments. I strive to make each piece recognizable within two to three seconds, to serve as a signpost for the player to see where he's arrived."
Here's one sample of Mario Galaxy's orchestra music.

Here's a different musical piece.

Great to hear that Galaxy is taking another "step" forward. Given this amazing duo have been working together for a long while. 2cds.. hehe wonder if they might release the soundtrack early next year.
I listen to that YouTube clip at least one time a day. I absolutely love it. I can't wait to hear the rest of the music in the game. And please, God, please, let them release a soundtrack album.
I don't like mario anymore, or his music.
actually great music can make a game even greater. what other way can you introduce kids to classical music without looking like a nerd.
