    The problem is not orchestral music vs 8 bit, it’s the industry being driven only by money and profits. This guy is an insider they should know better.

      Yeah, Nintendo in the 90s didn’t care about profit, they added music to their games for the pure whimsey of it. Give me a break.

        Right now profits seem to be the only goal, back then they probably aimed at releasing quality products that would sell well in the market. You won’t find the peak of music in videogames anyway
