Nostalgia nerds (The bad kind, mind you) may be disappointed to hear, however the rest of us aren’t, that Super Mario 3D Land will be featuring a fully orchestrated soundtrack.
Teasing with every new trailer and moment, Nintendo loves to draw out its releases, and replacing the MIDI tunes we’ve heard up until now with true to life orchestrated compositions could best be described as ‘pleasantly surprising’.
And many shouldn’t be quick to judge, many game’s soundtracks are rendered in MIDI before getting a full blown orchestra dropped on its head.
How well the 3DS’s tiny, God-Love-It-For-Trying speaker will be able to handle Nintendo’s famously gigantic symphonies has yet to be seen, but it seems that fans will have just as much to look forward to on the audio front as they do the visual front.
