[@TrapnestShinigami]

The music differences are super easy to explain: The Early Versions is using synthesized/fake instruments. The final versions are all recorded with an actual orchestra and real instruments.

[@bonitapersona]

Also, no mixing.

[@mel_arky]

I was about to comment with something similar too, its usually so they don't "leak" a full quality soundtrack before its either 100% finalized or guaranteed to actually be in game. Usually they add the "lower quality/experimental versions" of songs to get the feeling to the end user of how the soundtrack could be; to keep a little element of surprise in it when you eventually here the true majesty of the full quality one in game.

Trim Prism the steam gardens one sounds like its coming out of a retro tv

[@MCMeru]

Thank you!

[@codmastaman]

Hey fun fact. The reason that the old tracks sound way less full than the final ones is because the old ones are made completely in software while the final ones were actually recorded live

[@glori8163]

3:49 This looks like something Nintendo would do in the 80s or 90s and I love it!

[@MkStarfighter]

4:28 I believe Luncheon Kingdom was inspired by Pompeii in Italy because there is the old town ( the place that you land on in the odyssey), which is abandoned so it must be referencing Pompeii. Also, there is a volcano behind the town, which is just like Mount Vesuvius!

[@jorgecaimanque6951]

MkStarfighter It's more evident in the Spanish version. The volcano is named "Monte Delisubio" (Mount Deli-suvius)

[@cottoncherry2177]

@@jorgecaimanque6951 In french it's "Piton du Frouno" and the actual name is "Piton de la fournaise" and it's the name of an actual volcano.

[@browngaymethodistjesuschri1361]

The way they use synth versions of the songs as a template before getting instruments in a studio is awesome

[@MotleyDeth]

All of these changes are a testament to the quality for which Nintendo strives. They could've released the game with the original music, original graphics, etc. and it would've been great. But they put that Nintendo polish on it to make it a masterwork.

[@ChillavaKirby]

:')

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Something I've heard many times from game developers is that polish is the difference between alright and good, good and great, and great and fantastic.

When saw the first trailer for the game, I was super bummed because I assumed that it would only use synthesized music. It was a big relief when they released Jump up Super Star.

[@polybent9748]

8:04 listen son. I am tired of that one voice clip of Peach shouting “MMAR-RIOOH!!!!” I’ve heard it since Mario Galaxy 1, it was in Galaxy 2, i heard it more than enough times in 3D Land, and now in this Odyssey trailer. It was very well put together voice clip and fit the mood in Galaxy, but Nintendo just used it too much! SHUT UP!!!! (I accidentally spelled out sh*t trying to spell shut)

[@ThePickleBehindTheSlaughter]

"a freaking [spoilers]" WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT

[@Aleks-hp8pr]

[SPOILER] Basically a Dark Souls boss

[@HannaLivingston]

All the differences between the final and early music tracks are mostly due to how game soundtracks are produced, it's an earlier MIDI version (using pretty decent sound samples of course) used as a placeholder before they actually recorded the tracks with live musicians (or had it partially recorded, and definitely not fully mixed). That's why it sounds "more muted," as you say. It can imitate, but not quite replace real recordings. It could get much closer to the desired sound with a lot more tweaking, but I'm sure they felt no real need to expend time and effort on simple temporary tracks. I mean, there's obviously going to be changes made, but a lot of it is just due to the timeline of events shortly before and leading up to release. That said, your videos are great, I've been a fan for a long time and to have this SMO video out so quickly after release is pretty impressive. Good job.

[@Zappa_boi]

4:10 that is not a small number. That is a *BIG* number!

8:20 His hand position changes slightly. in the beta he makes a V shape with his hand after he throws it. and in the final it looks like they’re not lined up and has more of an arch

[@Sonictheoofhog4]

The switch is like a fusion of the Wii, Wii U and DS. Wii and Wii u because motion controls, and DS because it's portable and can be taken anywhere.

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

Don’t forget, It’s also fused with GameCube and Super Nintendo too. GameCube because the buttons, the controller, and the startup has GameCube similarities, and Super Nintendo because the side ways controllers looks exactly like the snes controller since it has shoulder buttons and 4 buttons

I remember seeing the rocket in the New Donk City rooftop park in E3 footage. When I reached that in the game, I couldn't find the rocket and felt confused.

Well, I almost cry when I hear them. It plays it as if it were a music box. And that last song almost made me cry normally. It's sad but it's tears of joy!
