Music File Statistics Rankings Document Update (2/20/'21)Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, February 20, 2021 - 09:12 AMFollowing this update which was posted a few days ago, I've finally snagged the chance to update the respective "Music File Statistics Rankings Document" as well before preparing to switch gears for this brand new weekend. And although this doesn't meet the criteria to have a new "dedicated article" posted in regards to recent changes on the document, it's still worth briefly mentioning two things:  First, on the "Featured 'Super Mario' (and branched) Installments" Rankings list, the WarioWare: Smooth Moves installment now makes its debut at #24 (tied with Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf: World Tour). That's because the respective game pages have four Super Nintendo music style arrangements done for each of them so far; when the WarioWare: Smooth Moves game page got started a few days ago, it had that same number of arrangement covers that were posted for it. Only time will tell if any of these three games that are tied in the #24 position will work their way up the ranks as the months progress.  And speaking of which, a rankings jump has occured on the "Featured Super Nintendo music instrumenet sets" portion of the rankings list. As I stated the other day, the last four SNES music style arrangement postings were done using the instrument set of Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Well, because of this, the said instrument set made a slight jump today from the #14 spot; it now sits in spot #12 (this set was used in a total of 13 times as of 2/18/'21); before the recent posting and this document update, the aformentioned set wasn't in use since two to three years ago after I did a few covers targeting some songs from Mario Kart Wii, Mario Sports Mix, and Game & Wario. And that's all I have to share for now regarding this document update; once again, we're just getting started for this 2021 year. You'll never know when stuff like this for the aforementioned document will get rocked again in the months to come (this article that I posted in late January is clear evidence of that), so as always, stay tuned! See you all later. No Comments | Site News/Update Entries | Print this Post Site Domain "Technical Difficulties" From Earlier This MorningPosted by Merit Celaire on Friday, February 19, 2021 - 03:56 PMEarlier this morning, everyone, I ran into news that there were some technical difficulties regarding the domain that directs to this site rendering it inaccessible when attempting to load any page here. I immediately filed a support ticket to the Vimly Digital staff to get to the bottom of the situation itself, and they got right on the case a few hours after that to get it resolved. Once again, apologies for any inconveniences caused and thanks wholeheartedly for your patience as we were working to get this dealt with in a timely fashion. See you all later. No Comments | Server News | Print this Post New Game Page Added: "WarioWare: Smooth Moves" (4 New Music Arrangements Added)Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, February 18, 2021 - 08:44 PM Here's the thing: what I have just stated was one of the answers to said "clues" that I gave you all a few days ago. But there was more to this story. Remember when I said that I was working on a certain batch of arrangements that targeted a certain "set/theme" from the game in question? Yes, the game itself is what I was referring to, but I didn't give the answer to the "set/theme" that I was targeting... until tonight. Plus, this focuses on a certain "female character" from the game that is the "host" for the level set/theme itself. And it made sense for me to work on some songs from it since during the course of this past Valentine's Day. That person in question (as well as the related level set/theme in question under her)... is Mona!  Mona with her fellow Diamond City cheerleader friends (also known as the "Monettes") personally "cheering us on to victory" prior to the respective level set itself. They've already got fans after this special moment, no doubt about it! That's right, the four Super Nintendo music style arrangements that I have posted tonight is targeting the score heard under Mona's level set in the game. And it's not only because of Mona and her fellow cheerleaders being the "focus". The majority of the musical score itself got my attention as well, and I believe we really needed something like this to help us through some very turbulent events as of late which we've all personally experienced which include of course none other than this horrid COVID-19 pandemic which we are still dealing with since this same time last year; however, we know it wasn't limited to just that... there were more "major events" that I won't list here for the sake of time. Back on focus: these are the four new music arrangement postings that are available for you all to check out as of tonight: * Mona - Introduction * Mona - Prologue: Part 1 ("I'm Late! I'm Late!") * Mona - "Game Over" Menu * Mona - Epilogue (Love Confession Attempt To Mona Failed) A few quick notes: first, on the "Prologue: Part 1", I had to take some liberty in doing the arrangement process on it. But you still get the idea of what part of the "prologue" I was dealing with song wise, especially in terms of the "quote" since it's an excerpt of the level's story. Second, please don't get on my case in terms of my doing a quick arrangement cover of a portion of the level's "epilogue"; even though I stated what I was targeting, I found it to be very hilarious and just had to do it because I wanted to conclude this new "set" of postings since it definitely felt like it matched the rest of the other three arrangements I did here. Plus, if you all have played the WarioWare: Smooth Moves game itself and succesfully completely Mona's level set on the story front, you know exactly which "moment" in the epilogue I'm referring to that made all of us go "what in the heck?!".  Finally, the third clue that I gave you all a few days ago was that for all these four new Super Nintendo music style arrangement postings, they all used a certain instrument set that I haven't touched since two to three years ago. These all used the set heard from Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Once you check the aforementioned files out, you'll find out why I believe this set would best match the "environment" of this level set in question if these songs were done in the beloved Super Nintendo music style itself. Okay, time for me to stop here before I get too carried away with this update posting (plus, I'm starting to slowly get exhausted even after writing all of the above). As always, if you have any problems with accessing the aforementioned new files in this post (and on the related game page), let me know via site email form as soon as possible so I can look into the matter when I get the chance.  Oh heck no... don't tell me... are Mona and her cheerleader squad on my case now?! Seriously, everyone, I gotta go. See you all later. No Comments | Music File Additions/Updates | Print this Post We're Now Going On 11 Years In Action!Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 - 09:13 PM Once again, I still give my shoutouts to the videogame music community "insiders" who've given me leads and an interest to do Super Nintendo music style arrangement cover stuff in general. There's too many to list because I want to keep this short, plus I seriously need to get some much needed sleep after I get this blog entry posted. Which brings me to another thing: because of the "Nintendo Direct" presentation happenings that occured earlier this evening, the first music arrangement update for this year is going to have to be done during the course of tomorrow, 2/18/'21. As I already stated earlier, I'm exhausted as we speak and need to rejuvenate my mind before proceeding further with the process itself accordingly. But the files themselves are finalized and ready to go for posting to share with you; you still have time to guess on the "clues" that I elaborated on in the latter part of this article that I posted on a few days ago. The answers will be released when said files are posted during the course of tomorrow, so stay tuned! Until then, I gotta shut down and get some much needed rest. See you all later.
