New Rendition Of Angel Island Zone For Brawl

Here is something special, it’s a new rendition of “Angel Island Zone” for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii. The music is first heard in the Genesis/Mega drive game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and is one of my favourites from the entire series.

Even though this arrangement of the tune is done by Jun Senoue (known for doing the majority of music in the later 3-D Sonic games), with the inclusion of his signature guitar sound, this new rendition sounds akin to the music heard in later Sonic games. Even so, upon first listen, I was instantly transported back to a happier time =)

Have a listen to it here.

Mother 3!

First of all, I’ve recently completed the game despite my inability to read any Japanese whatsoever, secondly, I received the game in the mail the other day after having ordered it from Play-Asia.com for $14.90, which meant in total, including shipping, I paid only £8.41, and since the GBA and the Nintendo DS are both region-free, I can play the game with no problem =)

Below is a comparison picture between the newly-acquried Mother 3 and my GBA copy of Link to the Past. I’ve decided I like the Mother 3 box better since it takes up less space for a start.

With the game being as user-friendly as it is, the only thing I was worried about (apart from not knowing what the characters are saying) was the fact that the PSI names and desc. are in Japanese so I wouldn’t really know which one was PSI Fire or PSI Freeze etc. Luckily, the game came with a little quick-start guide and apart from showing the game’s controls, it also had a PSI list, which was colour-coded, which will make things alot easier the next time I decide to play through the game =)
