Hello all!
After releasing the much-anticipated Nintendo Land Soundtrack (Thread 192378) nearly four months ago (wow it's been that long?!), I've been hard at work. Hard at work with a number of things; school starting, new jobs taken on, and life in general.
But in that time, many things have also changed regarding the soundtrack. Some time after uploading, and people finally got their hands on it, while they enjoyed it, they had great feedback to give. More and more feedback came my way, and I did my best to accommodate people's great suggestions, and did things like release metadata update packs, etc. But as I continued listening to the soundtrack, I noticed many other things, too. Things that could be improved, errors that could be fixed, and indeed, the most important task: numbering every track in the game, for those cozy back-to-back listening sessions! Indeed after many of these things built up, I continued to collect the great feedback, until the soundtrack could become perfect. Soon, it built up, it built up to a boil. And then it was time: time to update the soundtrack for good. Time for the major... RE-RELEASE! :D

In addition, in that time, I've also uploaded the COMPLETE SOUNDTRACK to one epic YouTube playlist! Nintendo music for days! (no, actually like 8 hours xD)

Thanks to so many of you wonderful people, and your invaluable feedback on the soundtrack, I have decided to give the soundtrack a major, and final, update!
So, without further ado, I am proud to announce, VERSION 2 OF THE SOUNDTRACK! :D

Even though the original posting of the soundtrack was great, there was so much I discovered that could be fixed and improved. In addition, thanks to many people's suggestions, I've made innumerable changes and updates to make the soundtrack overall more accurate, organized, cohesive, and perfect in every other way. And finally, the soundtrack is NUMBERED! Yep, that's right. Every track was painstakingly put in sequential order, for your listening pleasure (and mine too)! :)

If you were an early adopter, you're in for a huge treat, as so much has been improved!
And if you've been holding out on getting your hands on this soundtrack, now is the time to get it!

Soundtrack Info!
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________

For those new to the soundtrack, this soundtrack includes every version of every track in the game, complete with metadata for each track. The metadata includes: the original composer for each song, album artist, artist, year, title, track #, album, etc. In addition, the soundtrack is organized into different albums, with each game having its own album (e.g. Mario Chase has its own folder, separate from Metroid Blast). Besides this, each file has been painstakingly put in sequential order, for those back-to-back listening sessions!

The soundtrack contains over 8 hours of music and 430 tracks! That's a lot of music!

As an added bonus, I've also included a few extras!
First, I've included a folder entitled, "Cover Art", which includes additional cover art you can use for the soundtrack's metadata!
Lastly, I've included a folder entitled, "Remixes", which includes alternate versions and remixes of music from the soundtrack (4 in total)!
These will include the alternate arrangement of the game's title theme and the remix of it from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U!
Additionally, it will include two remixes from me - the first is a remix I made of the game's title theme, and the second is a remix of the "Evening" theme from Balloon Trip Breeze, dedicated to Satoru Iwata.

Besides including the soundtrack, I've even included the sound effects, every single one that was in the original files, for your extended listening pleasure!

There's a lot to see here, as this soundtrack contains over 30 years of Nintendo goodness. It's just too much to pass up! :)

After nearly 5 months of work, I'm extremely excited to finally call this not just the most definitive, complete, version of the soundtrack, but simply the complete soundtrack, as it was originally meant to be heard, in its most perfect form.
If this were a Nintendo CD release, this is how it would look.

I truly hope you enjoy it, and appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it, as it's truly been a fun ride for me from start to finish. And I loved every minute of it. It's now time to call it done, and I'm so happy you all came along for the ride.

Without further ado, enjoy the soundtrack! :D

Wondering exactly what has changed since the initial release?
Wonder no more!

Here's the complete changelog of what's changed from the soundtrack from its initial release until now!
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________


Changelog:
-Numbered all tracks, so that they are in sequential order.
-Added a unique album title to the files from each game, for improved organization! (e.g. Mario Chase folder files now have an album name of "Nintendo Land: Mario Chase")
-Fixed all typos and incoherence in metadata
-Removed all Japanese titles, simplifying titling.
-Took out redundant information in track filenames, and replaced them with more simplified titles (made most filename fields identical to title fields)
-Renamed jukebox versions of tracks, changing the jukebox versions to "[Title] (Alternate)"
-Improved titling in Main Plaza folder (changed "Main ([time of day])" tracks to "Main Theme ([time of day])"
-Changed "[Title] Mix" files in Balloon Trip Breeze folder to "[Title] Medley" (as I discovered these mixes were actually medleys of all the versions of each BGM theme)
-Changed "...Wind and Rain Mix" files to "...Rain and Wind Mix" in Balloon Trip Breeze, as the rain mix always comes first.
-Renamed "Main [Stage #'s]" files to "Main (Stages [#]) and renamed "Main (Ex [#]" files to "Night (Stages [#])" in Captain Falcon's Twister Race
-Renamed "Main [Stage #'s]" files in Donkey Kong's Crash Course folder to "Main Theme (Stage [#])"
-On MP3 version, fixed an error where the artist and composer metadata fields were switched on tracks in Mario Chase folder.
-Renamed "Stage [#]" files in Metroid Blast to the actual associated stage names
-Fixed titling error in Octopus Dance, where the titles for "Stage 6" and "Stage 6 (With Piano Outro)" were switched
-Renamed "All Stages Medley" to "Stages 1-5 Medley" in Octopus Dance
-Improved titling in Pikmin Adventure folder (took out "Main" in front of main game BGM filenames)
-Retitled many "...Mix" tracks in Legend of Zelda Battle Quest for more accuracy and coherence.
-Renamed "Boss Intro 4" to "Boss Intro Final" in Legend of Zelda Battle Quest.
-Renamed "Main [text]" tracks to "Main Theme [text]" in Yoshi's Fruit Cart
-Took numbering out of filenames of "Remixes" folder, and instead numbered them in the metadata

gameonion at reddit.com (https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/3ahnj0/nintendo_land_complete_soundtrack_wii_u_rip_wip/) - This guy helped me out so much with the soundtrack - he was so eager for it, he was willing to help me find out every single track I was missing, help with giving tracks the best titles, and even going as far as recording some audio for me that the game was missing (I didn't end up using his audio, but it gave me good ideas as to how to make mine better!). Overall, a great guy.

MatrixChicken from reddit.com (https://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/3ahoyf/nintendo_land_complete_soundtrack_wii_u_rip_wip/) - This guy gave me some great info - he helped me name a few of the songs I couldn't name myself, such as a track from Donkey Kong, and some from Zelda Battle Quest. Also, he gave me the idea to upload the entire soundtrack to YouTube!

shyPiano from reddit.com (https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendomusic/comments/3fmzmr/nintendo_land_the_definitive_soundtrack_flac_mp3/) - After release, convinced me to number the tracks and make each game a separate album in the metadata! Also, convinced me to release the .csv files post-release!



People from ffshrine! :)

PleaseJustKillMeNow at ffshrine.org (Thread 191253) - This guy was very helpful and gave me the idea to include the original composers for all of the arrangements in Nintendo Land in the metadata! Additionally, by doing this, it made me spend more valuable time listening to all of tracks, which helped me find and fix a lot more title and sound errors in the soundtrack!

The12thGripper at ffshrine.org (Thread 191253) - He helped me decide how to arrange the metadata, and was also just a great supporter of it from the beginning. Additionally, he helped me identify a few more songs I was missing. Lastly, he even offered to re-upload the soundtrack for me, as the last file wasn't uploading properly for the longest time. That's just cool.

binichico at ffshrine.org (Thread 191253) - He helped me to find the last few untitled tracks in the soundtrack. After release, he helped identify additional titling and tagging errors, such as the medleys in Yoshi's Fruit Cart being called "...Mix" and making me pay more attention to titling alternate versions of tracks better. Additionally, he pointed out typos and numbering issues from the metadata packs. Thanks to him for being such a great supporter throughout the whole thing!

TheSkeletonMan939 at ffshrine.org (Thread 191253) - Thanks to him for being an awesome super user that supported the project!

Arend at ffshrine.org (Thread 191253) - Inspired me to finally bite the bullet and release this new version of the soundtrack!

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________

To satisfy everyone, I've decided to release the soundtrack in two different formats.

The formats - FLAC and MP3; to satisfy the audiophiles and the space-conscious all at once.

Two different versions - In order to fulfill everyone's content wishes.
1. The first version contains the entire soundtrack by itself (430 individual tracks!) - "Nintendo Land Soundtrack [Format]"
2. The second version contains just the sound effects - "Nintendo Land Soundtrack [Format] [Sound Effects Only]"

Inside of the soundtrack is a file entitled,"Readme". Please read this, as it will offer more details on the soundtrack, like how it is organized and things to understand before delving into it.

I feel happy, yet sad, to hear music from the games Iwata helped create.
Balloon Fight was my childhood game. <3

I agree. I haven't played Balloon Fight in my childhood, but did come upon it later, and it is a really great game! :)
And of course, I love the music. I believe this soundtrack is a perfect testament to it, and brings it to life in a fresh, fun way.

I realise that this is a 4 year old thread, but why are the Gate Intro jingles' channels separated into seperate tracks?
