Switch Over To The Nintendo Special Big Band Concert
January 17, 2017
It's time to add some jazz performances of classic music from Donkey Kong Country, Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Pokémon, and Super Mario Bros. to your day. The Nintendo Special Big Band performed at the company's Nintendo Switch presentation in Japan a few days ago and the one-hour concert has now become available for your listening and viewing pleasure over at YouTube. Spend an hour grooving to Nintendo's greatest hits. Don't miss the Mario medley that begins in classic Nintendo Entertainment System territory, crosses over into Mario Kart 64, and finishes with Super Mario 3D World. Nintendo periodically produces these kinds of concerts in Japan and it's a shame that they're never made commercially available on a wide scale. I'd happily part with some money or even a few of those increasingly worthless MyNintendo points for properly mastered and labeled MP3 downloads of these tracks from this show and others like it.
