I've wanted to do this for a long time, so after about three weeks of working on it non stop, here it is, an over 16 minute medley of themes from some of my favorite video games, some old, some new, and some you might not have even heard of, spanning across all consoles. After using them in the first couple of parts I recorded, I also decided to experiment more with keyboards on this one. Vid desyncs a little bit from time to time for reasons I don't understand, but it took about 8 hours to get uploaded and everything, so I'm not about to do that again for such a minor issue.

Everything else recorded, edited, and mixed with Acoustica Mixcraft 5. Games: Pac-Man Space Invaders Fire Emblem Uncharted Super Mario Galaxy Halo Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Dead Space 3 Gears of War Resident Evil 5 Metroid Killzone 2 Donkey Kong Country Yoshi's Island Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty The Legend of Zelda Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Super Mario World Star Fox 64 God of War II Twisted Metal Doom F-Zero Super Mario 64 Super Smash Bros. Hydro Thunder Galaga Kid Icarus Ty the Tasmanian Tiger Super Mario Bros. Extra Info: Several of these are based on a different arrangement than the first one or possibly even a sort of combination of different ones. -Fire Emblem's main melody and key are based on the arrangements in the newer games (specifically Fire Emblem: Awakening), while the rhythm, bass, and drums are arranged to sound like the original NES Fire Emblem: Ankoko Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi. (Or "Shadows Dragons and the Blade of Light" as it's sometimes referred to.) -Donkey Kong Country is based more on the version from DKC Returns, but it's still pretty much the same song. -The Zelda overworld theme is more based on a little combination of my favorite two arrangements of it, found in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Soul Calibur II. -There's not an incredible difference other than a couple of notes, but the Rogue Squadron theme is supposed to sound like a mix of the original N64 version and the two Gamecube titles. -Big Blue was meant to sound like the SNES version combined with the N64 version. -The SM64 was originally supposed to represent both SM64 and SMG2, but I also needed the Galaxy title screen for transition purposes -The Galaga theme is a mix of the original version combined with the arrangement from Galaga: Destination Earth. The original plan was to do themes from games like the SNES Star Fox, Gears of War 2/3, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 & 6, etc., but ultimately, I decided that it was already long enough with all the games I wanted to add, so Mario was planned to be the only exception. I wanted to have a 3D Mario theme (I originally just wanted the SM64 theme in the key it was arranged in for SMG2 to reference both, but I needed the Galaxy theme to create a certain transition between Uncharted and Halo.) and one 2D Mario (Ended up picking SMW), along with the original NES SMB. I also only planned to use Rogue Squadron for Star Wars, but The Force Unleashed theme is awesome and I couldn't quite get the transition I wanted from Halo to Dead Space 3. I tried to put each game on my TV in the background, but that didn't always work incredibly well. :P
