Everyone knows Koji Kondo. Everyone loves Koji Kondo. But Nintendo is more than Koji Kondo.
Let's take the opportunity to mention names of composers and their works that we love just as much.
My star composer has to be Hajime Wakai. My fav work of his is no doubt Pokemon Stadium 2. His first solo project. His themes such as the Free Battle/Poke Cup Battles 1-3 theme is some of THE finest in the franchise, and also songs like Prof. Oak's Lab ad even the Options Menu theme are just something else.
And of course HAL's elite such as Hirokazu Ando, Jun Ishikawa, Shogo Sakai, and Tadashi Ikegami for their work on Super Smash Bros. 1, Melee, and Kirby Air Ride are the stuff of legends. Too many to list.
Fuck it, have a few!
Fountain of Dreams (Melee)
Saffron City (Smash 64)
Beanstalk Park (Kirby Air Ride)
Go for it, what are YOUR fav Nintendo composers and songs? :)
