LittleBigPlanet (2008)

Will find and edit in a playlist later for you since there are like 3 different portions of the soundtrack on different albums.

Yeah, I may need some help reining in a manageable tracklist for LBP. Im hesitant to include licensed music not originally composed for the OST, but I might make an exception because I like Battles.

Actually Im not sure if it was a side scroller, I guess nobody knows but the original developers

I was going to ask about this. If there were any assets out there suggesting this was to be an Adventure of Link type deal, I might consider it. If, more likely, its actually a nonexistent Zelda 1 style game its getting set aside for now. But, you can suggest a different game.

Attempting an ongoing VGMrelated task of casual proportions, having enjoyed similar threads here recently.

The premise
Each user can nominate one game in the 2D sidescroller/platform genre. As defined, Super Mario Bros. would be an example of an archetypal candidate, but many subgenres and deviations from the basic formula will also be accepted. Nominations are subject to my capricious tendencies and may be rejected or tabled for any reason.

For each approved game, I will conscientiously rank each track from favorite to least favorite and assign the OST an overall score from 0100. There will probably be no writeups involved, though dont rule out the possibility of the occasional thrilling remark!

Additionally, each track will receive a letter grade of S, A, B, C, or E. There are no Fs in VGM, and there probably arent any Ds eitherthats how good all of it is. The Etier is reserved for OSTs with tracks devoted to quick jingles, samples, sound effects, etc. E for effect! An Eseeming track may be promoted to a higher tier if its particularly important. Whether I include the short stuff will be determined casebycase. The letter grade/tier structure will provide an avenue for comparing/ordering favorite tracks across multiple games, though I have no immediate plans to do that.

If, somehow, other users want to play along by providing their own rankings, thats encouraged. I only ask that you wait until Ive posted my ranking for a particular game as to shield me from influence. Its not a big deal, though. Also this might take me a deceptively long time.

Spreadsheet link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11iJ-2-VgEujoQtpwO4fTWeDeMHobJr_rYbPgFneSzSk/

Hopefully this works.

Rules for nomination
To start this off, Im asking for 10 games. One nomination per user, no alts. The OSTs must be reasonably accessible with established, discrete tracks. Once 10 games are approved, nominations will close until all ten have been completely ranked and posted to the spreadsheet. When/if the nominations open again, the rules will be slightly different.

I am implementing a quota system at the beginning in an attempt to skew the games toward the eras that I favor. Of the first ten games:

- At least 8 must have been originally released prior to 2009.
- At least 6 must be from before 1999.
- At least 4 must have been released between 19831998.

Anything earlier than 1983 is ineligible.

Legal disclaimer
Thanks for reading.

List seems okay. No Chrono Cross is disappointing. I wonder if the lack of PaRappa was because of input lag concerns.

None of these are games I have firsthand nostalgia for, but collectively they're distinctly Sony. PS1 was a weird console for me. I guess I got one late in its life cycle, but also basically only ever had licensed kids games, mascot platformers, and demo discs. Finally playing through the non-Twin Snakes version of MGS is probably a worthy endeavor.

That's a compelling theory, but the thing is, the cashier had to yell the request over to the manager who happened to be in the back near the fry cooks, so they didn't even know the special order they were turning down was at the behest of a Local Favorite.

Artistically, its so generic and uninspired. Like, Pokmon Quest is more inspired. Granted, Im biased because I became obsessed with RBY when I was like 8, but the magic of those games is in the details. Its in the almost haunting quality of the chiptune music and sound effects, the weird sprites, the mystery of it all.

Ive continued to follow the series for the gameplay and battle mechanics, and consider Sun & Moon the best generation since III. The Lets Go games just seem like theyve subtracted any semblance of depth or intrigue while catering to fans of the anime.

Like Yellow?

Thats my problem with most of this. These same people who BEGGED for a Yellow remake are somehow mad about a superior Yellow remake then we would have gotten.

Im indifferent to the aspects of Yellow that made it more like the anime. Im just saying, I have no interest in revisiting the locales of the original games if the aesthetics are going to be completely different and modernized, bearing no resemblance to what endeared me to the franchise in the first place.

I have been on an Electric Playground/Reviews on the Run nostalgia kick for the better part of a year, and as a result have followed Tommy's career at Intellivision, and his pitch for the console, closely. At first, I expected it to just be an embarrassing disaster, but you would be hard-pressed to find someone as genuinely enthusiastic about the Amico as I am right now. Other than getting scrapped and never seeing the light of day (a distinct possibility, I fear), it cannot disappoint, though it almost certainly will fail.

Novelty value and exclusivity contribute so much to my appreciation of games these days, and I find myself increasingly fixated on the aesthetics of older, ephemeral licensed software. Even recognizing how amusingly naive Tallarico is (their claims about the chipset have to be puffery), I never expected to hear a company so boldly proclaim to not want to invite any of the bloat, greed, and user-generated garbage that plagues practically every digital storefront. If 3-4 years from now I'd still be able to turn this on and play some silly odes to obscure retro titles and not be bombarded with nonsense, that'd be the kind of kitsch factor that's easily worth the price of admission.
