I can’t unsee that now, thanks I hate it

[@jimmydiggincats]

SLAP IT!

[@kimc.1899]

I feel like it’s moving closer and closer as the video progresses, like a ghost waiting for a jump scare in a horror movie. It isn’t moving btw, but it feels like it is. How uncanny.

Now that u say it haha

I love the Wii shop theme! I used to just sit in the menu of the Wii shop to just listen to the music. It's got a very light quality to it that i really enjoy.

[@ztothepunk]

God the memories. That takes me back to 18, in college, buying my first launch console, and how cool it was to hook it up the first time after waiting all night for it

[@beervandergulden]

Not me thinking slash chords were chords you were literally allowed to choose between them

[@alyssamott4323]

i literally thought the same thing

[@manit9226]

Those options are ones that are in brackets above th of chord

[@mrcarlwheezer584]

oof i thought it meant you play the first one rly quick then switch to the second one

[@PtylerBeats]

Ok, but imagine how cool of a piece that would be! It would written sheet music that could sound different thousands of times because there are a ton of different ways to play it and still sound good! That would be amazing

[@beervandergulden]

@@PtylerBeats the ultimate jazz! Now I'm actually really excited to make such a piece

Rest in piece the days of the Wii, it really was my childhood and I still love it to this day.

[@XavierBergeron]

I started laughing for no reason when I started imagining the wii channel music as soon as you said it. I was already laughing when the music kicked in and the edit at 1:10 was just so good

[@PockASqueeno]

Nintendo has always had fantastic music. I always loved the Mario theme song.
While other video game complexes (complices?) often have subpar music, the music to the game “Jet Set Radio Future” on the original XBOX probably has my favorite music in any video game. I’d love to see you make a video on that. It’s the only game whose sound track I actually bought.

[@NeoN-PeoN]

It's the perfect amount of cheese. It's like a jazzy, cheesy elevator music. And yeah, it's amazing. When the Wii was new, everyone would bring up how surprisingly good all the music is.
To be fair, Nintendo (and Japan in general) are MASTER EXPERTS at crafting music to fit an event or action.

Also Wii Music: I'll fucking do it again!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Mii, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series, Wii Sports Resort, Go Vacation, Mario Kart Wii
all of these have awesome music and they're all on the Wii. The Wii is the console of the musicians!

listening to the mario galaxy soundtrack with headphones for the first time is an out of body experience

[@felixcortesgratacos9597]

Sonic Colors as well has some really interesting pieces, and that was also on Wii.

[@konkey-dong]

@@felixcortesgratacos9597 oh my god yes to this day I am yet to find a bassline that is as fun to play as Planet Wisp Act 1, which is also just overall an amazing atmospheric song, and then you have Aquarium Park zone, possibly the biggest earworm ever written

[@felixcortesgratacos9597]

@@konkey-dong hilarious you mentioned Planet Wisp, because that was the set of songs (Planet Wisp Act 1-3) I searched for soon after watching this video. 🤣
It's jazzy, catchy, and there are some strings that really make you wonder what they did.

[@Excalibur-Sonic]

I heared the Wii Channel Theme in so many videos and it just works.

[@dominickmiller9528]

When the chords are sus (7:45)
(Look at the chord names in wii sports music)

[@g_in_garage]

i played the wii shop theme on piano once and my drama teacher loves it so much she makes me play it whenever she sees me. she has, to my knowledge, never heard the original version before. she just likes the song that much.

[@gormauslander]

I loved his giggle at the hyper staccato at the shop channel theme 8:20. That's me every time

[@lb1058]

The Wii sports and mii theme feel like they could appear from anywhere. It has the vibes of study and classical music. Thanks for all you do.

[@DBZProduction]

0:12 lol you've actually nearly finished that ten hour Mii channel song.
