[Mewtwo Boss Battle Theme]

Yes, I understand what are you trying to do... If Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Kyogre, Groudon & Rayquaza have their own battle theme... Why does Mewtwo have a bare wild Pokémon battle theme??? That's not fair... But also it must be a little kind of difficult to get a great theme for Mewtwo, unless you are a Nintendo's Composer.

And well, you almost got it... Maybe some more symphonic cuts and more epic arrangements could give it the right tune... But dude, this work is amazing.

Vahnson responds:

Thank you so much. It was kind of a challenge to create this track and to be honest it was not originally for him, but half way through the song I drew a picture of him for my fanfic and it gave me some ideas. So I scrapped most of the primary melody which was far more repetitive and made this song.

I would really like to use symphonic cuts and more arrangements but I use a fairly old program to compose my music. In the end I really enjoy the old school sound of a 32bit-64bit music composition.

[Yoshi's Story - Credits]

One of the things I love most of listening to old Nintendo remixes is the nostalgia and the memories it brings to me... And that's just what you got with this sweet and very soft mix.

Yoshi have been always a lovely character, and you remind us with this piece the tender and cute Yoshi... I must confess, I was about to cry listening to this... Part of my childhood was Yoshi's Story... I loved every level of it, and now, listening to your song is like a time-travel.

All I have to say now is, excellent job!!

[R/S/E Wild Pokemon Battle]

Ok, this remix is just great... You gave it a great emotion to it... I almost imagined myself right infront of a Hoenn wild Pokémon... Just, I think it has too much staccatto, maybe you should leave the long notes, because sometimes it cuts the whole audio emotion...

Anyways, this is an excellent work! Congrats.

Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed it and will use your advice on future projects!

[Final Bowser SMW2 (GaMetal)]

This is what I call good metal!

Damn God, man!!!... If I always loved this track since my childhood, you made me love it more!!... This is just what I wanted to hear a lot of years ago.

This song fits perfectly into a metal arrangement, and I must say, RESPECT!
You have a very good ear for turning Nintendo music into very good metal!

I' would like very much to make Nintendo music besides you. I had the idea a lot of time ago to make metal arrangements for Nintendo music, but I do not play the guitar, just piano and keyboards, and you really rocked my ears with this.

Very good job, friend GaMetal. I like your style very much,

[Route 1 (Pokemon)]

As always...

Very well played... This version is so fresh! I started dancing on my chair as soon as it began! Jesus Christ! This was fucking awesome... Great work dude!

[Super Mario Concerto Part 3.2]

Your piano technique is outstanding!

I enjoyed a lot while listening to this... You're pretty talented playing piano. I like so much how you managed to mix the themes in a whole piano concerto.

Liked so much too the Boss Battle Theme from Yoshi's Island, I have never heard it on piano, and you just rocked it!! Simply amazing.

Keep the great work. This will go right to my favs!

Kreepman responds:

Thanks!

I pride myself with that Boss Battle Theme.
I used the same technique found in my Zelda Boss Piano song somewhere in my song list.

Pro Tip - hitting notes faster is easier done on a plastic keyboard.

[Dedede's Lament (Kirby)]

This is something new!

I've heard King Dedede's theme in any way you can imagine, but no in this one!!! Is just... I have not the right words to describe it, but I liked it a lot... Since King Dedede is one of my favorite villians...

You're really talented for the guitar man! Congratulations for that. And also, congrats for this great arrangement!!

[Stickerbrush Symphony [Ar]

Hey! Welcome to Newgrounds!

There are a lot of Stickerbush Symphony mixes in the portal... In my very own opinion, this is the best out of all. Very good first submission.

It is very close to the original, but you gave it a new and fresh arrangement, it's very soft but still keeps the original essence. I only have some trouble because it's too short, maybe you could be able to improvise a little more, but it's still good. I can imagine it in a new Donkey Kong game!
I wish your next submissions keeps the good beat.

Congratulations, and welcome to the Portal! =D

[Metroid II: Caverns Entry]

Wow!!! Amazing!

One of the few remixes from this theme I have heard on the portal... It has been too long since someone uploaded a new Metroid mix, and in particular I liked your choice.
I enjoyed every minute playing this great GB game, and now your brought memories to me with this perfection.
I love the soft sense you gave to it, it sound like some Metroid Prime moments. Definitely this could be in a Nintendo game!
Great job.

[Pokemon RS - Wild Battle! Rock]

Great!!

Man, this is just awesome... I suddenly imagined myself fighting against a wild Poochyena and got back to time, when I used to be so happy playing this fantastic game. Thanks for the great work!!
