Videogame Beats
Nintendo! Yay… Those times when I was enjoying the Super Famicom were the best ones of my childhood. Here you’ll find music and beats that would fit perfectly in a lot of kind of videogames such as Super Mario, Kirby, Dungeon & Dragons, etc…
Videogame beats are the ones where sound design does the storytelling. Some are Nintendo type beats with a square lead and a melody you can hum after two bars, others lean on strings the way Zelda type beats do, and the NES type beats go full 8 bit with a bass line pretending to be a third voice. Arcade type beats bring speed and repetition for the section that never stops, and the slower entries borrow the mood of a pause screen instead of a boss fight.
Where Nintendo, Zelda and arcade beats come from
For a trailer, a montage or a project that needs a boss theme, the Legend of Zelda type beat loops here are the ones with space for dialogue, and the arcade game music type beats the ones with a countdown built in. Anyone who grew up on the Super Famicom will pick the palette out in a second: pulse leads, FM bells, chip drums and a reverb that makes a short loop feel like a bigger room. The game type beats that sit under a menu or a cutscene, asking for no attention at all, are in there too.
