KoishiKomeiji11 I just realized that might be a reference to one of Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft´s monsters, Azathoth. Due to the fact that he’s an all powerful god who doesn’t exactly know of his power, this he is dubbed “The Blind Idiot God”

longarmsshow yeah, i like to watch some music from time to time...

LMAO he kirb feeling sassy today, I see

It really is.

That Sgt. Pepper sample is gold! Also, "The Place"

Im probably wrong about the chip, but there's some mad sound programing on this game. Im sure i read something about the sound technology in this game, damnit, i cant find it, anyway, this game sounds amazing.

Pedro Boh Truth is, they wouldn't need another chip. The SNES sound hardware is incredible. And as for the samples, they are short and compressed enough that they could fit on a cartridge.

I dont know if iwata programed the sound too, but im sure it took some serious skills to fit all these high quality samples and general high quality sound/music into a snes cartridge together with the rest of the game.

Pedro Boh Hirokazu Tanaka programmed the game's sound engine from scratch. It was not uncommon for video game composers back then to be expected to program the music in addition to actually composing it - Yuzo Koshiro similarly built Streets of Rage's sound engine himself. Tanaka still was kind of an exception though, seeing how he personally INSISTED on creating the engine to ensure he had full creative control over the game's sound. That guy sure knows what he's doing - he's been coding sound engines in assembly language since Nintendo's early arcade days after all.

I'll take this chance to shamelessly promote an earthbound little video i assembled kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmifpeLuNjPlWw.html

@sample text bullshit. Giygas wanted for the entirety of the universe to go extinct. Even the planets.

@@flamingpi2245 Giygas:ALL WE ARE SAYIIINGGGG, IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCEEEEEEE

I know right!

yeah

Because it's _"too risky"_ and they have a chance to lose cash.

Because it didn't sell well and money speaks louder than people.

It's actually pretty difficult. Try coming up with your own story, that will be better than the likes of Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.

@@aeroblu2002 Most stories are better than Harry Potter.

@@WeirdBrain okay, then something better than something better than Harry Potter.

yeah apparently it was not a Legal issue that made EarthBound late for the VC, the original prototype Carts for Mother 2 went missing and Shigesato Itoi spent 5 years rebuilding the game from scratch, as for Earthbound, it was a rom but they were not allowed to release it until japan does. atleast, that was what i heard

***** Wait, wait hold up so Earthbound is a NEW SUPER NINTENDO GAME?! Like, for real?! I bought that on Virtual Console but had no clue. It still sounds retro, though correct? Because if it sounds modern I will be pretty pissed. But that makes me even more happy I got it. I promised my friend I would not play it until he got back from his trip since he wanted to see it really bad (two months left) so that is why I ask you here and now if it is a modern-style. I did notice the trailer was unusually deluxe on the eShop compared to other SNES titles as well, but I had no clue it was rebuilt so it truly is a brand new SNES game then if it was rebuild in the twenty-first century.

Medachod not really and like i said i only heard, Shigesato Itoi posted somewhere that he had been working on an EarthBound related thing for 5 years which was confirmed to be making Mother 2 playable on the VC. the reason why the Trailer was so deluxe is because People bugged for it for years

***** This isn't right at all. Nintendo doesn't need the source code to the game to put it on the Wii U. They just need a rom which they can easily acquire from a retail copy.

Max1234qwert Of course, they did make some minute changes within the ROM, such as toning down some visual effects, so they probably had to simply reverse engineer the Japanese one.

Awesome/Chilling/Ambient

Amalgam (Undertale)

nah undertale is trash not art

b mp this game stinks!

Undertale isn't trash, neither is Earthbound.

This piece of art is also a game

Agreed,Earthbound IS a piece of art

Compression is also a factor to take into account

@@hibob1321 that exactly. Mario 64, one of the most important games of all time, is 5 megabytes, no bigger than an ultra high quality webp or a 5 minute song.

@midgetsausage Weren't all the carts 64MB big?

They use samples as sound so it's only less KB in size you can see how sens sound system works

@@oneblacksun Yeah, but that does not mean a game HAS to use all 64 Megabytes available on the cartridge.

Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed

I love this comment so much but I hope you and other people that feel this way understand that this largely what hip hop sampling is about. Because when I'm reading comments on hip hop songs there's mention of stealing (which is a blatant lie because they have to pay or face legal issues that forces them to pay if they're using it commercially) when it's an art form. Havoc turning a piano tune from Herbie Hancock's Jessica into the ominous guitar sounding riff in Shook Ones Pt 2. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJOBhpd0udrQpJs.html RZA taking the soulful crooning from Delores Hall's Where Do We Go From Here and turning it into the eerie male sounding "ahhh" throughout Raekwon's Ice Water. Like any art form, not exclusive to hip hop, some put more creativity and/or detail than others. (E.g. the simplistic Powerpuff Girls vs the more detailed Sailor Moon) Even with the simple ones like Puff Daddy and Poke sampling Juicy Fruit for BIG's Juicy though. You have to think of that record to sample (digging in the crates), then cut it in a way the song works. It's SO easy to say how easy it is to do AFTER it has been done. But try doing it from scratch where you have to pick a record, cut it yourself, and it's enjoyable NOT just with yourself but with others too (it's also why DJ'ing is an art form and not just playing a playlist). If you have that skill, you can be making a ton of money from it (like a certain someone who hails from Chicago). I see a lot of people trying to recreate beats on KZfaq and most of them SUCK, not because they don't have the tools, but they don't have the same commitment or vision. They'll only recreate the most well known part of the song and loop it. But ignore the changes within the song such as the bridge and what not; the nuances. They'll also get the pitch and tempo wrong. If they spent more time with it they can prolly get it right. But it's hard, isn't it? It's easy when it sounds familiar, until you try to do it yourself.

@@KusMoGX the blatant theft that bothers me is Daft Punk sampling Breakwater and presenting it essentially untouched as their own song. that shit is wack. the sampling in hip hop that you are talking about are all very interesting touches and choices that have created new art. i personally think that should be freely allowed without having to pay royalties...it's like making a collage.

@@SaltPyramids Business in general is so dirty. Everything is monetized and assigned ownership. It's how we have NFTs. As much as we hate it for the misrepresentation of the original creators, if it's being used commercially they would have had to go through the avenues for someone to get compensated for it. So they can present it as their own work even if it's untouched if that's what the terms were when the sample was acquired. Like Puff Daddy and his Hitmen producers with the 80s samples like Juicy Fruit in Juicy. And that's where it gets even more dirty. Because the original creators may not own their own work. They've signed a legally binding contract to give up the rights to it to another party in order to get something on their end. It's like people buying images on Getty Images. That's why they cost so much. Because they can use the images however they want like it's their own. Same with fonts.

Agreed :(

Yeah, it reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. . .

+Daniel Lyons (TheStrangerGamer) amagalm? From UNDERTALE?

+Cynda Sw3g I just noticed it does sound like that

+Jason Kim Person who made Undertale made an Earthbound Halloween Hack for it. It included Megalovania, the most popular song in Undertale. Plus, a bunch of other songs have Earthbound samples in it.

Iunno, I don't think that sampling is good or bad entirely on the basis of recognisability. Sometimes you can't tell anything is there, sometimes you can tell there's /something/ but you don't know what, and sometimes it's something you can identify, even quite clearly. All three cases can be cool, interesting, and artistic.

YES x1000000

De La Soul beat Suzuki and Tanaka by a couple years but it’s not a competition

Because they literally only used the first few seconds and it's been mangled so much… I'd be very impressed if anyone recognised it!

iwanttobelieve Boris' Cocktail is actually a parody of the Star Spangled Banner (US National Anthem)

Earthboundzero MC It's both simultaneously. However, the star-spangled banner isn't a direct sampling, it's just a weird cover.

+iwanttobelieve You forgot Franky (Frank Fly and hippie battle theme)! It sounds so much like Johnny B. Goode

+Woolydog The Wolfman Sounding "so much like" isn't the same as a sample though. A sample is using audio right from the source, Frankie doesn't meet that criteria.

This is mad dope

California Games title screen is pretty much Louie Louie, by The Kingstons. Mike Tyson's Punch Out uses French National Anthem Flight of the Valkyries Don Flamenco's theme (I can't think of the song name)

Just off the top of my head, the infamous Action 52's menu music sampled the "Woo! Yeah!" drum break from "It Takes Two" (itself sampled from "Think About It" by Lyn Collins) in 1991, three years before Earthbound's Japanese release as Mother 2. Not sure how much that counts, though.

@bro you just posted cringe ness is sans

NESS + GYIGAS = SANS.

None of your Business They didn't. That's why Earthbound took a while to get on virtual console.

Well, the creator of the series was a huge Beatles Fan, and even named the series after a song by John Lennon.

That isn't uncommon at all. A perfect example of this is "The Sounds of Science" by The Beastie Boys, where the sampled beat consists almost entirely of Beatles songs, "When I'm 64", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)", and "The End" to be exact. It sounds really good altogether too.

Actual sampling isn't illegal lol

Sampeling is extremely common in the music industry.

This music is one of my greatest achievements -Brick Road

I believe it says in the credits it was done by... Itoi...? Don't remember

@@memejohn86 he also does the ok'desuka sound, so i wouldn't be surprised if it was him tbh

@@theREALsilviautism i think its from a blockbuster commerical

There's a lot of 80s and 90s songs that say wow in a similar way

it's from Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

It's also used as *percussion* in paulas theme

That's just a stock sound effect from one of those old sound library albums.

Duckbug They do use the same sample

I’m not 100% sure of this, but it sounds like Amalgam uses only earthbound samples. I’d like to see someone insert the song into earthbound if that’s the case

He did sampled THE PLACE, which itself was a sample of Deirdre, so it's kinda like sampleception

While its not guaranteed it would be HIGHLY unlikely for it to be something else considering Toby Fox made an EarthBound ROM hack before making UNDERTALE.

undertale samples from earthbound. prime example is megalovania using the guitar from porky means business

I wonder if gyigas theme was based of something

Decon Theed what's the difference?

t. stuck up pseudointellectual

@@DanteWolfwood t. nosy idiot

Your profile is sonic but he hung himself

elgatochurro Quoting is singing part of another song or playing part of another piece of music on your own instrument(s) as part of your recording. Sampling is playing part of another RECORDING as part of your recording.

Truly ahead of it's time

Its legacy has endured so strongly among indie games that it wouldn't even feel out of place as a modern release thanks to them. Games like Undertale and Omori especially come to mind.

Well, maybe with an updated inventory system...

Ok

+Dan Green Seems like an interesting find. I'll look into it!

+Dan Green He's right. Also both samples kinda sound like bees.

+dooki51 I always heard both samples as REALLY distorted church choir sounds.

And they sampled it from Sentridoh! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJNpiZCHqLrOo2w.html

@@ansleesmith1104 Lou Barlow (the guy from Sentridoh) plays bass on Dinosaur, and it seems all those songs come from one tape he recorded a very long time ago. He actually posted on Facebook about the process of finding the sounds because he was planing on doing Poledo live. I don't remember the details, but there's a chance he found the place from which he recorded the droney, churchy sound.

It's not a sample though

+DogsRNiceMineCraft who cares its still in there

A song that gets its melody from The Anacreon Song. This is gettin' deep, boys.

Not a sample. 3 songs are heard in Boris Cocktail but only Little Rascals is the sample.

Yeah that was played by the game’s instrument samples. While not a sample, it is definitely a quote.

+Spanishdog17 Though I'm positive it's not sampled, that definitely is an interesting musical similarity!

iwanttobelieve Could at least be an inspiration. Earthbound's soundtrack pretty much covers every single genre on the planet, so I wouldn't be suprised if they were inspired by a jazz record.

Def not a sample.

8 years later and you’re probably right. However, there is a Miles Davis song that sounds similar. ​@@albertnortononymous9020

that’s not a sample though. That’s the first verse of the anthem being played on the synthesizer. This video is specifically going over samples.

yes there has been a time loop wake up

+Liveandlearn789 It was confirmed that it was based on it, yes.

K-C Rhoder Sees the World! whatno

Yeah that was a sound-alike.
