Nice to see that they finally recognized the musical genius of K.K. Slider (and, by extension, Totaka Kazumi)...I just heard K.K. Metal for the first time and thought that Andy would *love* it (and I feel as though Mike would like K.K. Cruisin'...except for that "sqwack" sound, that is 😆).

[@restinpeas1284]

When I was in a bad place, playing Animal Crossing Wild World was one of the few comforts I had. I distinctly remember going to the coffee shop on Saturday nights to hear K K play whatever. When you're really settled into a game and it means a lot to you, it's the little moments, like with an incomprehensible barking howling and whistling dog in the cafe I frequented every day, it's a comfortable place unlike any other. Luke, unlike everyone else there, knows that comfort. Those moments you just sit and listen. No collecting bugs, no fishing, no pressure to go here or do that... Just listening in the safest place you could imagine.

[@the1fortheages]

TL;DR Not a fan of Animal Crossing, but a fan of the music of Animal Crossing. I'm not a fan of the animal crossing series...or any game with no end tbh... but most of k.k. slider music has actually been good, imo. I mean there's so much, i don't like all of them, but the one's i do like leave me with a feeling of serenity, or sadness, or bittersweet. It just depends on which song is playing. Each tone is incredibly well made on an entirely small platform for music, like mario paint, but with all the creativity to change the sound into something recognizable as a genre outside that scope. I mean someone took the sounds of mario bros and turned it into Coheed and Cambria's "welcome home" for crissake. Allbeit that's not in animal crossing, but it could be. I mean you won't get bangers from k.k. slider, but if you appreciate good music, you'll get good music. Im rambling.

I would say that too if Ellen didn't exist. But it is a SUPER close horse race!

[@caitlinalfis-linnehan3007]

I have to say that the musical soundtrack that I fell in love with the first time I heard it was Neir: Automata's theme park song. I had never really payed attention to music in games before they were usually background noise. But, throughout the entire game the music helped immerse me into the story a bit.

[@phantomnite]

All the songs in Neir Automata are amazing

[@rasmusts6060]

Dawn will come - Dragon Age Inquisition Such an emotional piece in times of sorrow and dread.

[@TJR-hs2dj]

That scene hits me so hard in the feels every time!

[@Eramiserasmus]

Glad to see someone else respect the simple hymn. It is both uplifting and somber in rememberance of the unchangeable past but still hopeful for the future that you will forge. Truly great before the Skyhold scenes.

[@johnwrath3612]

Not a fan.

[@minasno]

Yes! It's so great, gives me chills!

[@p4vlichenk0]

Every piece of music in Dragon Age: Origins. It was the first game that made me tear up while playing it, mostly because of the absolutely beautiful soundtrack.

[@serpenttao]

This whole video was great, but when Mike said "Mass Effect map music" I cheered out loud. Such an iconic song that never ever gets old, even if you're spending hours in this place. Also, watching Luke (and Ellen!) jam out to Corneria theme, super on point.

[@ReverendTed]

I absolutely fell in love with Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It just lays down this thick funk and overlays these warbling wails that impart a sense of spookyness to the proceedings. LOVE IT.

[@methborton]

luke's taste in fictional singing dogs is completely valid and i support him,,, next video is 7 Great K.K. Slider Songs, please

[@Kittinthehatlady]

I just have to add one of my absolute favourites, The Fields of Ard Skellig from The Witcher 3.

"You're not Alone" from Final Fantasy 9 It is played during an incredible moment of the game and makes that moment so much more powerful, and that song has stuck with me for years

[@soldier1stclass640]

Exactly, and its very different from the rest pf the music in the game,easily one of the top ones that blew my mind

[@kendrafarnsworth4884]

Some game music that seriously blew my mind was literally every track from Skyrim. Jeremy Soule did a really good job at composing masterpieces like "Dragonborn" and "The Streets of Whiterun"

[@alexharrison2743]

Yeah every time I rewatch this video I have the thought that probably no-one chose Skyrim music because it felt too obvious a choice. Also everyone already knows it's amazing

[@hallludba]

Undertale’s Another Medium makes me feel like a cyberpunk warrior destined to stop the world from ending with a sword that shoots lightning

[@newflesh666]

Undertale's whole soundtrack is just non stop audio deliciousness

[@hallludba]

New Flesh true that!

[@K4RN4GE911]

That track doesn't get NEARLY as much love as it should. That bridge section still gives me chills sometimes. If you want a good remix of it, there's one by a guy named teckworks that I think even surpasses the original.

[@butter_scotch]

I have to admit, when Luke started off with K.K Slider I was in the same mind as the rest of OXtra and OXbox. But I was nodding along to the songs by the end of that segment. So K.K Slider all the way!

[@fawazfaruqui5198]

"Journey" from Destiny 2 being played the second time during the final mission with our guardian slashing their way through the last city is a total banger that really hits home

[@gamehunter88]

I love how everyone went from stopping Ellen from talking about Kingdoms of Amelur to worrying about Luke talking about K.K. slider

[@ellathompson6052]

I know these aren’t instrumental or composed specifically for the games, but the life is strange series has introduced me to about a dozen bands over the past few years

[@thegreatpineapple4425]

I know what you mean. As a 90s kid, I got to know so many bands from the 80s and even before from the GTA series.

[@sumobear1777]

For me Its a song called "the air" from sonic adventure. I still cant get over the complicity of the drum beat and how it went from guitar to sitar. Part of me wants to find a band and pay them to see if they can actually play it to the letter.

[@BigBenn0008]

Watch out... Mainstream: the mass effect 3 intro scene music, when the reapers take over the world. This small start going into a big brassian shout was one hell of a stun for me! It's called leaving earth I think and it still blows me away everytime I hear it cuz it pictures the whole scene perfectly, the small hope shepard feels and the dark presence of the reapers tearing his hope apart in just one second, leading to this fade out in the end. Totally beautiful.

[@connerdudrey2633]

“Unshaken” from RDR2 is incredible. Made me feel things like no piece of video game music ever has.

One song I always seem to have in my head is 'Journey' from Destiny 2. It's newer than the ones in this video, but all the string and vocals is honestly quite amazing to listen to. I seriously recommend.

[@jackgodden2238]

Mass Effect 2 Suicide Mission. Running through the Collector base, terrified about your friends dying and determined to save the galaxy and having that incredible song thumping as you do it, so goddam powerful and inspiring! The galaxy map is also real good Mike and Oh My God Ellen Venice Violins is great, theme of my early childhood right there!

[@DarkSerris]

The one I will always remember and come back to is : Metroid Prime :Menu select theme. So good Honorable menion to Link's Awakening Tal Tal heights

[@KalElelVigilant]

Big fan of K.K. here, too! Also love how his songs transform when you hear them on the tapes he gives to you

[@montyr2083]

I ABSOLUTELY stand with Luke re: K.K. Slider. Learn to HEAR WITH YOUR HEART, people!

[@Lighterthandark88]

The Dawn Will Come from Dragon Age Inquisition. I love the entire soundtrack for that game, even though loads of fans disagree, citing Origins as having the best. I adore most music from DA2 as well, but The Dawn Will come from Inquisition literally made me cry the first time I played it. It was so inspirational and uplifting when it felt like there was no hope. I also listened to this, and still do, extensively when my mom passed earlier this year.

[@darrienjones8917]

I thought it was such a great song especially to open in the beginning and as soon as you press play you see everyone wiped out. It just is a hopeful song played right before hope is lost. I think that's what makes it better to me in my opinion.

[@SolidSonicTH]

To me the best part of the Corneria theme is the instrument transitions. The way it moves from the first part of the bassline into that crescendo really sticks with me. I came back to this video when I was thinking about this theme again because I remembered that Luke had a thing for it.

[@baileyparsons6343]

Don’t let the others silence you Luke, you listen to K.K. all you want! Although Doom theme for life 😂

[@kadosho02]
