>Nintendo music app

Uhhh, no? How about I watch it on youtube as usual on the "Michael VGM music channel" or whatever?

If you clamp down harder I'll just go and pirate the music, fuck you

@coolboymew I wouldn't mind if they just simply sold MP3s on the eShop or on iTunes (is that still around?). Or just buy actual CD soundtracks as they actually have a collectible value. I'm not subscribing to a proprietary service just to listen to music from a single company.

Also, you are better off staying away from YouTube and going to an actual VGM site like KHinsider as Nintendo is less likely to search for them.

On a related note, am I the only one who hates the narrators of these Nintendo ads?

@xianc78 The problem with actual CDs is that they exists, and the Japanese soundtrack CD market is as insane as the rest. It's like 40$ to 100$ for a complete OST

@coolboymew I noticed that most (if not all) Zelda soundtracks are Japan-only. The only Zelda soundtrack I know of that was released here was the 25th anniversary soundtrack that was bundled with Skyward Sword.

My younger brother really loved Link's Awakening for the Switch so I imported the soundtrack for him. It was really cool because it has soundtracks for both the Switch and GB games and has some really nice artwork.

@xianc78 VGM rarely releases here from what I've seen. Is there even a significant market for it? Especially at normal prices
@coolboymew @xianc78 sega put all their old osts on streaming sites. Even shit for obscure ports of Japan only SMT titles.
@PurpCat @xianc78 I don't understand why can't Nintendo just content claim these VGM channels and be done with it and let the ad money roll

Even fucking Square-Enix is starting to understand to put the fucking videos as they're starting to do it themselves too

@coolboymew @PurpCat Maybe it's more profitable to have their own app and collect data so they can advertise their own games to you directly. The app is linked to your Nintendo account.

"Oh you like games with this style of music? You should try this game."

@xianc78 @PurpCat I have a doubt that any of that is going to be anymore useful than what they already does for Nintendo accounts

It's just Nintendo being terribly hard headed about that stuff again and attempting to easily control something retarded instead of just doing what everyone else is finally starting to do and actually release the shit themselves so they can actually do gather money on it instead of letting Michael's VGM Channel do it instead

@coolboymew @PurpCat Does anyone else think that SilvaGunner is a Nintendo created psyop made to fuck with people trying to listen to their music on YouTube?

@xianc78 @coolboymew you know what "soundclown" is right?
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/soundclown

Shit like this existed before SilvaGunner, it's pretty much what the safer side of 2010s meme culture was. Shit like this video, or all the "le ironic anime rap mashups".
@xianc78 @coolboymew Also before and parallel to Soundclown, there were also YTPMVs (YT) and MMDs (NND).

SilvaGunner literally had/has some overlap with these communities given it was a giant collab channel, namely Triple-Q was famous for many mashups on this channel but outside it as well for making "anime" mashups. I'm not up to date on the SilvaGunner lore, but eventually that group had drama given that it happens with any nerd group in a long enough timeline (accelerated with the introduction of "nerd crack" to the internet sphere).
