You said Cassette... I am here.
every analog form, nothing digital. that is the Nintendo way.
EDIT: NEVER HAVE I BEEN MORE GLAD TO HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG
Why a cassette?
Sold! I still gladly listen to CDs and buy them whenever I can. It’s the one area of my life that’s decisively old school. This movie’s soundtrack is wonderful, too.
With all this merchandise seems like a commercial first movie second
Nintendo is in shambles, knowing there will be an official OST for sale.
@IronMan30
really, that's a good one 😎 👍
@N00BiSH
CDs are digital 😎👍
This seems appropriate!
@-wc- technically yes, but they're still physical media and Nintendo's probably not going to put it on Spotify anytime soon
@Eagly With all those games it was already a commercial first.
Seriously, a tape? I personally can't remember the last time I saw a Walkman or anything that uses them for sale.
But it's still cool.
@N00BiSH Bless their little hearts.
@N00BiSH
oh, yeah, they are streamophobic for whatever reason 🙄 they seem to be very careful not to do the things everyone wants them to do.
I can't help but laugh in the final few seconds of "Peaches" every time.
The OST is amazing.
@Ryu_Niiyama @Tempestryke In the past several years its become "cool" for bands to put out albums on cassettes because it's retro.
As someone who grew up with cassette tapes, I have much nostalgia for it but zero desire to return to it.
WHAT THE @&#!???
@N00BiSH HOLY CRAP WHAT
@Jop DUDE I KNOW
@N00BiSH I JUST CANT
:0
@Jop THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE
THE WORLD'S TOP SCIENTISTS WERE IN AGREEMENT
BUT HERE WE ARE
CD, Blu-Ray, vinyl discs, and even cassettes... But no DVD. Why, though?
@N00BiSH CDs are also digital
And, it's in the iTunes store and Apple Music.
@sanderev if you haven't noticed, i'm well aware.
@Owl1 me too ! I am all over this!!!
I know i'm weak, but i'm probably gonna double dip on Vinyl and Casette...
Over 40 dollars for LP. Expensive. They are able to get a lot of bucks for their mario merchandize stuff.
Absolutely getting the CD, the music (minus the licensed song even though I personally didn't mind them which are obviously missing here) was one of the best parts of the movie!
@N00BiSH Probably not. Nintendo probably wants to also put in some special thing to PREVENT MP3s from being ripped from the CDs. You know, to fight piracy! It's probably why we don't even see Akari Kaida's Chiptune Remix of Rockman EXE Stream's "Be Somewhere" in full on YouTube or anywhere else, yet!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uprXvYEceQ&ab_channel=AkariKaida - It's been a year since the Tokyo Game Music Show it was sold at, and we haven't even seen any full downloads of the song!
@Ryu_Niiyama because for some reason that’s the next thing that people are desperately trying to bring back after records
Sweeet the music was great got my eye on that double LP
@Jackpaza0508 records at least make sense because its the highest quality physical format .. cassettes on the otherhand
@sketchturner Same here. I don't miss my tapes getting tangled, respooled, eaten, warped, or snapping.
I want that cassette…
Even people I know who thought the movie was trash had nothing but praise for the soundtrack.
I have a few cassettes I've acquired within the last 5 years (Protomen: Cover Up, Sayonara Wild Hearts: Fading Memories, and a few I found second hand of my personal favorite albums)
But I rarely play them, since the best way to ruin a cassette tape is to put it in a cassette player.
iam8bit? Thank you, that means I won't get it unless I order online.
Cassettes have never really stopped being around. Indie bands or artists use them as a collector item to enhance their sales. For the last few years bigger, major artists have caught on and done the same and it’s almost unthinkable not to release that format now sales wise.
Tape players (portable or not) are back in stores too, even though manufacturers are less in a hurry to bring them back on their production lines as tapes are still a niche-oriented format and not always intented to actually be listened to.
Yeah the cassette has never stopped being a thing , in fact it’s seen an increase in sales every year for the last few years as
Many top selling bands/artists now release on the format. I am definitely getting this on cassette
