BackTrack – Music Smash: Fez Effect Blog
Our second song mix covers ten games from March and April, like fantastic picks from Journey, Fez, and The Witcher two. Read on for thoughts on my selections and links to where you can check out the complete songs.
Although this only our second take on this format, it’s fascinating to attempt to piece together a flow from such a diverse choice of candidates. I wouldn’t have thought that Journey and Fez had significantly of something in common, but positive adequate, we identified pieces that made for a entertaining transition.
Folks often ask for track and artist names on videos, and it is one of the issues I’ve made a mandate for BackTrack. However, finding that data isn’t constantly effortless. Not every single game has an album released, and I’m particular that some songs don’t even have titles. So far, Nintendo appears to be the most difficult in these regards. For Kid Icarus: Uprising, I was able to get track names from the sound test, but there are not any composer credits listed. So my only alternative was to list all six composers. Hope you don’t thoughts the short wall of text.
From here, we move into what I call the creepy section with tracks from Closure, Silent Hill: Downpour, and Mass Effect three. Given that we just did three large videos on Mass Effect, I only kept in 1 song, titled Geth Talk. It is a favorite of mine that isn’t component of the previous videos or even on the official soundtrack. If you want to hear the complete piece, it is accessible on Sascha Dikiciyan’s SoundCloud.
The re-release of The Witcher 2 was a great excuse to incorporate some of those songs as I listened to that soundtrack quite a bit final year ahead of we began this series. It is also really cool of CD Projekt RED and Warner Bros. to contain a free album with each copy of the game.
Dynasty Warriors VS not Conquering the West
3DS Games > Dynasty Warriors
Dynasty Warriors VS for the 3DS will not be making its way west, leaving a lot of gamers sad.
Don’t forget that Dynasty Warriors game for the 3DS? The 1 that allowed you to dress up as Hyperlink from The Legend of Zelda and Samus from Metroid? Yup, Dynasty Warriors VS, that is the a single! Nicely, regrettably, it looks as although this Dynasty Warriors game won’t be creating its way westward at all in the future.
In a current tweet to fans, the Tecmo Koei community manager, Chin Soon Sun, announced that there are no plans to bring the game to the west.
Dynasty Warriors VS (for the Nintendo 3DS) – This title is for Japan only & will not be localized and released for / in overseas.
Nintendo is Apparently Not Feeling Blue Anymore
Whenever I consider of Nintendo now, as in console colors, I think of blue. PlayStation has red, Xbox has green, and Nintendo has had a blue (and white I guess) theme since the Wii was launched. How ironic it is that they have decided to discontinue the blue Nintendo 3DS. That is, they’ve decided to kill of the blue 3DS in Japan. No official word to regardless of whether or not this will affect U.S. sales, but we can assume they’ll be gone fast if this selection is global.
The decision to get rid of the blue color is speculated to be triggered by poor sales of that certain color in Japan, but that is just what’s on the rumor mill. One issue is particular, if you have a blue a single now, you have a cool small piece of background and now Wikipedia is going to have to adjust their 3DS page.

Fan-Made LEGO Zelda Set Reaches Supporter Goal, Will Be Sent To Nintendo For Appraisal
Cross your fingers, wish on a star, and just Perhaps we might see Legend Of Zelda LEGO goodness! …Maybe!
We all enjoy LEGO, do not we? Snapping together those plastic slabs of happiness leads to hours of fun, enjoyment and inevitable lost pieces you later learn by treading on barefoot. Owie!
We also enjoy The Legend Of Zelda. Link’s adventurous wayfaring has been going more than a quarter of a century now, with games galore rife with peril, thrills and the occasional unitard-wearing freak who charges far too considerably funds for humble maps.
If only there was a way to combine the two. If only there was some official channel by which fans could campaign to make this come about. But just a minute!
This so needs to occur.

Like the 3DS, it looks like the touchscreen controller for Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U console will come equipped / can be acessorized with a cradle. Nintendo recently filed a patent for the accessory, which could possibly function as both a charger and dock.
Thanks, NeoGAF.
