The fun doesn’t stop with My Music, however, because Sakurai is ending the week with a triple update. The next item on the agenda is a <a href="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music09.html">sampling of the music</a> that you’ll presumably be hearing (if you want, I guess) at the stage that was introduced yesterday, <a href="http://smashboards.com/blog/2007/09/06/pokemon-stadium-part-deux/">Pokémon Stadium 2</a>. Based on the Gym and Evolving themes from the Pokémon games, this one seems a little underwhelming to my ears. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m just not thrilled with yet another fairly unimpressive synthesizer job (I feel like this was just ripped off of a DS, instrument-wise), or think the tempo’s a little slow, or even that I don’t like how the rhythm of the melody feels now. The one saving grace for me is the evolution chime, or as Sakurai says,
<blockquote>The part at the end is THAT song. Y’know…
“Look! Samus is evolving!”
…Yeah, that one.</blockquote>
The composition supervisor for this one was Junichi Masuda (<em>Pokémon</em> and <em>Pulseman</em>, both from Game Freak), and the arrangement supervisor was Kenichi Okuma (<em>Melty Lancer</em> series, <em>Welcome to Pia Carrot!! 3</em>). You can <a href="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music09.html">take a listen for yourself on the Dojo</a>.
