Thanks for the soundtrack.

Thanks :-)

Thanks !

It ain't complete because these songs were ripped from the game's website.
But then again, no one knows how to properly extract music from a Wii U Game Disc so it will take a LOOONG time until a proper rip surfaces.

Thanks for the soundtrack. It's very good.

I doubt this is real 320; it's probably just an upconverted YouTube rip.

The best that could be done by anyone at this time. ;)

Asuka and Ryo have done it again! They did Mario Kart Wii six years ago, and now.... THEY'RE BACK! Thanks!

Uh, you could record the source which would be better quality.

A source for the composers would be nice as well.

Depends on the musical source you're talking about.

This is the only source I could find for the composers; better than nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENv8x77e1SM

Yeah. And what about the source THEY used? That is the official site? And no it's not better than nothing. YouTube conversions is THE worst thing, in the universe.

No, there are worse things out there. High or low audio quality is a subjective preference, not an objective determinant. As for the composers, that is simply the only source available at this time. Maybe it's a mistake on my part, but there's no way of knowing that unless they release official information before the 30th. Besides, my upload is simply a compilation of early-released music, not the official soundtrack; whether the information is correct or not, this is meant to tide everyone over in the meantime. Pet peeves aside, there's no harm in that.

Thanks for the soundtrack.

What rel�ase date official OST?

Currently, there is no official OST confirmed. But I'm seeing many clues that an OST is likely to be released.

Firstly, it's recorded with a live orchestra (for most of the music). Therefore the music is so good that they CAN'T not release an OST.

Secondly, they posted something on facebook about the music, with a link to watch the live medley of 3 tracks from the Nintendo Direct.

Sure these may seem very very vague, but it could be subtle hints.

Anyway, the music is awesome, as I said. Why wouldn't they release an OST?

What is Skyward Sword

thank you! :D

Uh, the official website? Also, your source is not a credible source by any means. It's better not providing false information than nothing imo.

Because Nintendo is still backwards as fuck. I mean, MKW did get a soundtrack release down the line; but I have my doubts...

thanks :)

Updated the OP with Nintendo as the composer for now. ;J

Funny you do that when the composers (Shiho Fuiji, Atsuko Asahi, Ryo Nagamatsu, and Yasuaki Iwata) are finally revealed.

That's a coincidence if ever I saw one... xD

I'll update the information again soon.

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to the game too.

Actually, there are four: Ryo Nagamatsu, Shiho Fujii, Atsuoko Asahi and Yasuaki Iwata. So, you'll need to rename all of the tracks with four composers in an update!

Or you could save the guy some trouble and re-tag the tracks for yourself.

didn't they do the same thing with Skyward Sword? I doubt a COMPLETE OST of this is released, knowing Nintendo..

The Super Mario Wiki's page on Ryo Nagamatsu.

I fail to see how that's a better source than YouTube? They must have gotten it from another source, unless it's just a guess.

Little late, no?

I'd imagine they got the information from the credits. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_U6jtyFNiE#t=81)

sweet thanks, didn't know the credits were already uploaded

I'll take that! Thank you!

Hi, I don't know if this will help as an idea for how good a quality the already uploaded tracks are... but I'm planning my own rip straight from the GamePad thanks to replays having the option of music only. Here is Cloudtop Cruise, so see if the quality as a 320 rip is any clearer:

Many many thanks in advance, I don't know if it possible (because there is a lot of sfx in this place), is it possible to rip the guitar section in the storm?

BTW your gamerip quality is excellent, keep it up!

Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack
Note: No sound effects included. Not my rip; just passing it along.

Not to be a dick.. but you should rename the part where it says "Original Soundtrack" to Game Rip .. since this isn't original.

Oh, so you can record the full track from that option? I know what I'm doing today!

Just to let everyone know, there's a much better quality rip now, still on YouTube unfortunately, but properly ripped from in game so the quality's really good, and it's much more complete. It's on Yoshi's VGM's channel, here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2XjmdkuVL-04v0wkzgB5vxpyI1Rcv_Dw

Yeah, just race on a track. Then watch the highlights reel, pick edit highlights reel, change it from 30 seconds to full so it shows the whole race, and set the sound option for the replay to music only.

The terminology was a little tricky, because while it wasn't an "original" soundtrack, it wasn't an "official" one either (as far as it being a CD goes), so I wasn't sure what to label it. Maybe just "Mario Kart 8 Soundtrack"? Regardless, thank you for the suggestion. It's fixed. =3

thanks a lot man!

Actually, you don't even need to set the length at all. Even if it's set to 30 seconds, after the 30 second highlights reel, it just keeps repeating the reel, however, the music just plays constantly.

Still don't understand why nintendo hasn't announced a full soundtrack....it's a shame. Thanks for the rip though!

they still haven't done anything for Twilight Princess either, lol

That game's several years old; I doubt they'd be promoting it now. !!!!! has a complete score in his Nexus thread, though.

I recorded Dolphin Shoals for my own personal needs so figured I could share it. (https://www.mediafire.com/?aun2uy3q7rx9m4a)

Indeed, you are correct, sir.

I've started making a rip via the gamepad. Not sure if I'm going to be as complete as the Yoshi YouTube rip, but if no one else has shared something comparable by the time I'm finished with it I'd be happy to upload it. I'm guessing probably sometime next week at the earliest, since I have this thing called a life.

WOOOOOAH, YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE.

*peeks head out from under a rock*

I made a Mario Kart 8 rip-thing, in case anyone cares. Probably okay while we wait for the line rip. This is actually a much higher quality then a youtube rip. I guess you can PM me if you want to know how I did it. It's needlessly complicated.

Never mind.

Higher quality than a youtube rip, but not a line-in recording? Yeah, you're gonna have to explain how you did it, especially since you are posting this in an existing rip's thread.

I downloaded 1080p videos of the tracks and then converted them into High Quality MP3s. Which means I have to go through and retag everything/find the right links/yadada. I don't know why, but that seems to keep the 1080p quality. I'll let other people be the judge of that. Figured I'd just give it off while people wait.

Up-converting doesn't increase quality. Since YouTube audio is lossy to begin with, your transcoding degraded the quality even further.

Not that I don't appreciate your work, but it's not better than the YouTube playlist.

Well, there you go then, I guess. Retracted.

WOOOOOAH, YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE.

It's called humor. And also because I don't want to be pestered.

Should have the ripping done by the weekend, then just have to do the editing, so my guess of next week looks right. Of course if someone who has already completed a rip wants to upload theirs first, by all means feel free.

It'll get a Club Nintendo CD, trust me. They pushed the 3D World one in such a big way - hell even us EUROPEANS got it - that for them to not do one for this would be impossible.

Yeah, I doubt Nintendo will exclude the fans by not making an official soundtrack. Even Mario Kart Wii's music got an eventual release, even if it was a few years down the road.

An INCOMPLETE release, and years after the full soundtrack had been extracted from the disc.

Anyway, I got the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack off of YouTube:

An INCOMPLETE release, and years after the full soundtrack had been extracted from the disc.

a lot of people overestimate Nintendo's willingness to release OSTs. yes they did it for SMG1 and 2, and 3D World, but name another full length OST they've done in recent years? Pokemon and Nintendo Club sound samplers don't count.

The CD releases are directly connected to the budget of the scores. So the two Galaxies and 3D World got CDs, Skyward Sword got the anniversary CD double-banked into its orchestra sessions... I'm telling you - if they spend a lot of money on the music they tend to make the most out of it (don't forget that Club Nintendo is funded by a subsidy on game purchases, so they can technically advance music budget from that cash pool by co-producing the CD soundtracks). The funding for the live music in Mario Kart 8 will have been boosted by an advance from the Club Nintendo kitty.

It's deemed less important to release synthetic music on CD in a completist fashion, because there's much less financial incentive to do so, hence the compilations. They're a different beast, really.

I really wouldn't worry though, the Mario Kart 8 double CD will be here before you know it, even if only in Japan. :)

With Mario Kart TV, you could select to watch a replay with "music only" and change the length to "full." So in theory, just go REALLY slow (finish a race in 5 minutes or so), record your MKTV replay via capture device, just extract music and done!

I say "in theory" because I haven't personally tested this yet. I'll see what I can do, but if someone else wants to try, feel free.

You would need to do some editing for the sections of the Cloudtop track, but yeah. Like I said though, we won't be waiting long for a real soundtrack.

WOOOOOAH, YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE.

Calm the hell down. No need to go all Bowser up in this house, man.

Yo, it was an exaggeration; nobody actually gives a shit.

Okay, you didn't need to add "nobody cares". Just had to say it was an exaggeration. No need to be all rash.

Also, thanks for the rip. At least it's something that can tie me over until the Mario Kart 8 OST is out.

Wait they are actually releasing one? .. or are you hoping they do?

I'm hoping they release one so I can add that to the Radio Nintendo stream lol
Also, I enjoy the music quite a long. My favourite Mario Kart soundtrack to date.

Turns out I'm a shut-in after all. Should be able to upload in FLAC tomorrow, contents roughly correspond to the Yoshi YouTube rip.

Why do you say that? o -o
I mean, what you're doing here is great. Sure, it seems rather crazy but by letting this music out to the masses you're letting people hear wonderful sounds. I love music, and I can't imagine a world without it. The MK8 music is truly inspiring to me as I want to master some of the instatements that are in most of the songs, and by listening I can further expand my musical knowledge as I tend to learn by my listening with my ears. What you're doing is a good thing. :)

A little self-deprecating humor is all.

My rip is located here. (Thread 174898)

Could someone not upload to mega? It is a little frustrating when mega doesnt work for everyone :(

Mario Kart 8 (http://www.mediafire.com/download/k11g14yg39ych7l/Mario+Kart+8.zip)
Based on the Yoshi rip on Youtube.

Welp, looks like this has to be updated with the DLC tracks.
