Now that the Wii U has a Mario Tennis game, will it recieve a Mario Golf game?

I turn off the music in those games ;~;

Sakuraba-sama will find you

Every Mario game should have the option to turn off its music.

I will find you

I suppose not everybody likes Motoi Sakuraba's tunes, so it's no point convincing someone who's made up their opinion about it. Still though, I appreciate what he brought to the Mario sports games: a sense of energy and liveliness while playing the sports games, something I like about the battle themes in other games he composed.

Thanks for reading.

It's not that I don't like his tunes, I turn the music off in every game I can.

How would you feel if Michiru Yamane composed the music? She produces some pretty damn awesome music. She could make a nice soundtrack for a Mario Golf game.

We'd still turn off the music.

This.

We turn off the music in Super Smash Bros. 4, although the soundtrack didn't exactly blow me away anyway.

Whatever scary thing you're gonna invoke is neutered by the lack of any music. Also, it's baffling why we don't have volume control options in the Mario games anyway. It takes, like, a second to program in.

how can you turn off the music in a video game unless its sonic the hedgehog on the gba

 

[Xiahou Ba]

A programming thing tells the music file not to play

Simple.

The vast majority of PC games understand this. So why is it so hard for console games to have this feature?

If there isn't an option, there's usually a hack. But it's as simple as programming the game to turn it off, like 0/1.

I don't know, but some SNES and NES games have the option to turn off the music and control the BGM, sfx, voice volumes. Why is it so hard to implement it in a lot of Mario games?

i meant more like why do you turn the music off

although id like to have the option to replace certain music tracks in certain games at some point with obvious better design choices (*cough* king dedede's theme in the boxing ring in ssb)

1. You can play music over it, rather than just muting your TV altogether. I like my sound effects.
2. It's atmospheric in some games. Like say, Mario Golf. It feels more...how you say it...immersing.
3. It's pretty quirky. It also enables you to hear the wonders of good sound design.
