Watch: The Nintendo Special Big Band Concert in Japan
Over the weekend the Nico Nico Super Conference was held in Japan and Nintendo was in attendance. There weren’t any games on show, however, it was Nintendo’s musical repartee on show. During a concert at the event there was over an hour of Nintendo music played by a big band.
All your favourite Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Animal Crossing Pokemon and Super Smash Bros tunes were there remixed and played in the big band style.
Lucky for you, the entire concert has been uploaded to Youtube for everyone to enjoy. You can select a part below or there’s the entire playlist here.
Part 1 – Super Mario Bros. Super Medley
Part 2 -Donkey Kong & The Legend of Zelda
Part 3 – Kirby & Animal Crossing
Part 4 – Pokémon
Part 5 – Super Smash Bros. (Composers (Koji Kondo, Shogo Sakai & Junnichi Masuda)
Put it on in the background and enjoy! Hopefully a official recording is released at some point int the future.
Here’s hoping. The last Big Band performance and album (Mario & Zelda Big Band Live) was fantastic!
I’ve been itching for follow up for 10 years.
