Greatest Video Game Theme Ever (Nominations)

Man, we could seriously and theoretically have an entire separate "Greatest Donkey Kong Country Theme Ever" competition. There are just that many good tracks.

Fixed.

This would take me WAY too long, I'm afraid. I'll have to skip this one out. Sorry, guys.

It's not like you HAVE to nominate all 50 themes that you like. You could just do however many come to mind for you.

That said, I think it would be wise for you, GSF, to put a cap on the nomination count at 250, and make the rest of the nominations first come first serve with a max of 50 possible choices. You'll regret it if you let in too many nominations and the competition suddenly becomes too big. I learned that the hard way from the animated movie thread, and that's only 200 nominations. Sometimes you just have to set limits on things. Having too big of a competition will also turn other people away, because then they'll get bored just waiting for a round that has some of their favorites in it, since that would take too long, and that's the whole reason people play these games in the first place. That's just a suggestion based on my personal experience. It's up to you what you want to do.

I'll think it over. I honestly don't expect more than 3 or 4 others to post nominations and I'll be starting next week, hopefully.

Spark, please post links. It's easier for me to edit that in and it takes awhile to find all them myself.

I honestly think DKC Returns' version of Life in the Mines is better than DKC1's.

There we go. Better?

Now I'm definitely not doing 20 more. Too long!

At the very least, 30 is a far cry from "I'll have to skip this one out. Sorry, guys".

Good point! But I just couldn't sit by and let DKC and Mega Man not make a best VG theme competition.

That just can't happen.

Though I did nominate some DKC songs.

Also...

EDIT:

By the way, GSF, I'm guessing we can't nominate real songs that are used in games, right?

gunswordfist · March 13, 2014, 11:54:38 PM

Right, talon.

Thanks guys. After I finish my dinner I'll edit in the new entries.

"Stains Of Time" (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance)

"Spread the Wings" (Garou: Mark of the Wolves)

"Waiting Place" (Shinobi)

"Wind Fang" (Asura's Wrath)

"In Your Belief" (Asura's Wrath)

"A Crazy Party" (Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening)

"Stage 2-1" (Rocket Knight Adventures)

I already have Spread the Wings, dork.

Go hump a whale, GSF.

47. Tyrant Theme (Resident Evil 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77q8pueYujo

That's easily better than the Tyrant themes in any version of RE1.

48. O2 (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpLSiplyYc

Now I have two spots left. I'll hold off for now until I come up with good enough choices.

LumRanmaYasha · March 14, 2014, 03:38:10 PM

Hmm, I'll definitely participate in the voting phase, but I'm not sure what to nominate right now, since I honestly don't tend to play games (especially handheld ones) with the music on, so aside from maybe some Pokemon tracks, I don't really remember many ones I really liked. I'll have to think about this for a bit.

Heh, I guess you know what a dork is.

Edit: talon, I edited in your new two. Sounds like after EK is done, that'll be it (seriously dude, can't your browser history help you figure out which themes you forgot..unless you remember all there names without having to google them. You'd deserve applause for that.) Either way, I'll close this thread on Tuesday or Wednesday and start the tourney soon after. What's a good tournament randomize or whatever the fuck you call it that I can use to shuffle up all the entries for each round?
