VIDEOGAME ARRANGEMENT THREAD

Hey musicians!

First of, I'm asking every single musician to help out, so if you might know anyone who'd be awesome at lending a hand, please please invite them over. The more songs the better.

My name is Callum Stamp. I'm an animator, director, screenwriter, voice actor, musician and a designer. I'm currently working on a huge project called "Super Nuke Bros. Melee" - a Flash game inspired by Super Smash Bros., wich is promising to be good. Oh yes.

In this game, we're having a system where you can collect various CD's, to add to your music collection. This way you can unlock new pieces of music to play on a stage.

I came here asking for reinforcement. We're looking for artists who want to provide arrangements of their favourite videogame themes. Overworld, Boss Battles, everything. I've listed the franchises you can choose from here:

Super Mario Bros.
The Legend Of Zelda
Pokémon
Starfox
Metroid
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Kirby
Mega Man
F-Zero
Earthbound
Fire Emblem
Crash Bandicoot
Klonoa
Metal Gear Solid
Sonic the Hedgehog
Final Fantasy
Banjo Kazooie
Ninja Gaiden
Dragonball Z
Golden Sun
Tekken
Rayman
Street Fighter
Kingdom Hearts
Halo
Star Wars
Game & Watch
Balloon Fighter

Here are the rules:

Every franchise listen will be assigned with 2 songs maximum. If the list clears, you'll be able to make one for that franchise.

Please post wich song you'll do from wich franchise before starting a song.

You are allowed to edit a song you've already made, only if it is significantly different.

Only choose from these franchises, and don't take a random song like "Level 2 from the spin-off game's sequel", if you get what I mean.

All these franchises won't be represented by a character per se, but we'll need arrangements for them anyway.

When a franchise (Let's say Pokémon) has 2 songs already done, the franchise will become red.

Please check this thread to ensure you're not doing work for nothing, since the song you want to do might be taken.

Alright, everyone have fun! Any questions, suggestions and works in progress are very much appretiated in this thread. If this post is located in an incorrect forum, please redirect.

I will update the list to show who is working on wich songs.

The offficial forum can be checked at

www.supernukebros.omgforum.net

The official site will start daily updates when the first trailer arrives.

This looks like a big project.

However, you'll probably have to post some screenshots if you want to get musicians hooked up. It can help them in the music writing process, and if your game looks good, a lot of musicians will be eager to help you for sure.

As for me, i could give it a try as well, if i can. If i do, i'll make sure to let you know.

Yeah, you could have checked the site, but I made some for you right here.
I'm sure you'll see the potential. We have TONS and TONS of stuff, we just
don't want to announce it yet. Piece by piece. The game already has about 9 playable stages and 14 playable characters.

Bump +1

This really does sound like a big project, and it looks pretty nice. As it seams that the project might grow in popularity, I'm willing to lend out a hand in helping.

This looks like it could be the best computer version of Super Smash to date. Unfortunately, I'm kinda busy at the moment, and can't help, but I can post to bump the thread.

That's a really big selection of video game franchises, too.

It's already amazingly popular. I suggest you check the forum and the site.

And if you mean popular under the music artists, we have alot
of mucisians already on board. The main theme is done by
David Orr. You'd be a good addition.

Ah, alright. It's great to hear someone's already on a Fire Emblem piece. Looking forward to both of 'em. Ofcourse, keep the thread updated if you want to show the piece so far. =)

REMEMBER: It's 2 songs per franchise, so if someone is already doing one on a franchise you'd like to try out for, theres one more slot!

I'll do some Metroid stuff to begin with. If you like it, fine, if not, I'll burn your house down while you sleep. ;_;

Added you! Metroid has some very distinct music, I'm sure you'll put that feel into good use.

thar ye go, not finished. saw now that there are no more metroid spots left, so I'll probably do some Mega Man stuff instead.

Well, I think I'll make a exclusive remix of my Reef of Fire song, just for the game.. and I'll mess around with those other games and find songs I like. Otherwise I'm all up for this.

I'm doing a Dance Version of the Mines theme from Donkey Kong Country 2.

I could let you hear an almost complete Work in Progress already if you want.

Let me know by PM if you want me to upload something!

haha, sounds like fun. looks pretty cool as well. i wouldn't mind making some mega man shit for you

I absolutely love your Metroid song. I've already added it to the game's Origional Soundtrack folder (Wich is over 50 songs now), but I'm willing to replace it anytime you edit it.

I'm looking forward to all of your stuff, guys!

Hey hey, guys. Just wanted to say I'm another member of the staff for this project. I've done the arrangement of a good portion of the standard soundtrack, among other things, and I just wanted to say that you shouldn't feel hindered by genre. Almost all of the soundtrack so far is in a classical, orchestrated style. We really need something more original in there. Keep your minds open!

I've never tried video game music... perhaps I'll try remixing an FF song :)

Can I do a remix of Eyes on Me?

A drum and bass remix?

sorry for double post.

So, me and a friend made a DKC2 Mine Dance Remix. It's not finished yet, but I wonder if this would fit into your game as it's Dance and not Orchestral or anything.

Critics are very welcome and when approved, I will remove this mix from Newgrounds in no time if needed.

I'm almost done whipping up a mario song, how long does it need to be?

Arround 2 minutes would be best. Don't let length hinder you, we have
various tools to not include these songs in our filesize.

Oh yeah! I like it. However, I'm not a fan of the genre, but you seemed to make me enjoy this so that's good.If someone does another DK song, please do the Main Theme or something along those lines.

Well, it should be good. However, keep in mind that the Battle themes are more popular for a game like this. I personally LOVE the Final Fantasy X battle theme.

And yes, we actually DO favor Orchestral-like songs, but variation is good.

I've had a remix of Stickerbrush Symphony from DK going on for a while. Maybe this project will inspire me to finish it. Add me to the list, please!

You know i've ALWAYS wanted to remix FF8's song where Balamb Garden get's attacked. I forget the song name now but I remember the tune like it was just played.

Add me for FF!

Added you! Here's hoping to Isaac as a character, huh?

I'm gonna do a MarioKart 64 Rainbow Road Remix these days. Want to give it a dreamy feel, if you know what I mean with that ^^

Should have a WIP ready in a few days.

I'm really sorry but I can't accept this.

I've stated a rule saying we don't need songs of random stages, Snake Man just
isn't too memorable, and even if it is in your eyes, alot of other stuff is alot more
reckognizable.

I would love to hear you do more stuff, however. I'm talking Main Themes, menu's,
credits, Final Bosses, along those lines.
