Welcome to NinSheetMusic! The world's largest video game sheet music resource for pianists

Today, we celebrate NinSheetMusic's 15th birthday: Hip-hip hooray!

I wasn't too sure what to say but it got me thinking: 15 years is quite a long time for a website, especially one for video game sheet music. In that time, many vgm sheet music sites have come and gone, as have countless arrangers and performers. And yet somehow, despite our ups and downs, here we are still chugging along. I've been here for nearly 10 years, which isn't as long as some, but in that time many arrangers and performers have come through here. It's been a privilege to see them grow and in many cases, take what they've learned here and go on to do bigger and better things. Jamaha put it perfectly in a previous birthday post when he wrote: "It feels good to help people play music from the games they love." So here's to another 15 years and more!

Enough speeches, it's time for the champagne and presents! To celebrate our 15th birthday, we're unveiling our new site design! Yes it's been a long time coming but after months of work and plenty of revisions, it's finally here. A big thankyou to all the staff who road tested it and provided feedback. It wouldn't have been possible without you. We still have many more features and improvements on the to-do list so stay tuned for more in the future but for now I think I need a holiday!

Here's a brief run-down of the new features and general improvements.

• It's responsive! So now you can finally browse on whatever device you like without having to squint or zoom in.
• Your forum login now carries over to the main site. For those who are logged in, you'll see your username and you get a little user menu panel. At the moment this doesn't do a whole lot, but we have things planned for it. But it does give you a nice little notification if you've received a PM.
• We have support for swipe detection on touch devices. So if you do a quick right swipe from the left edge of the screen you can open the mobile menu. If you are logged in, you can do a quick left swipe from the right edge of the screen to open the user panel.
• For those on desktop computers, or devices with larger screens, you can use the Quick Browse feature. Just click on the yellow sign which hangs from the menu bar to open a menu that enables you to quickly jump to any series, console, or arranger page.
• Sheet lists are now collapsible. We might make a user setting for this in the future.

Hi everyone!

Time for a proper announcement! Over the next few days we'll be gradually adding some more series. This should make some games easier to find and will also reduce the size of some of the longest pages. So if you can't find a game all of a sudden, chances are it has found a new home. The 'Other' and 'Super Mario' pages will be the only ones affected at this stage.

We are also preparing for *topseekritbigannouncement* in the next week or two so stay tuned for more!


What's been added so far:

• Bomberman (was in Other)
• Chrono (was in Other)
• Drakengard (was in Other)
• Five Nights at Freddy's (was in Other)
• Kid Icarus (was in Other)
• Kingdom Hearts (was in Other)
• Mana (was in Other)
• Mario Kart (was in Super Mario)
• Mario Party (was in Super Mario)
• Paper Mario (was in Super Mario)
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (was in Pokémon)
• Rhythm Heaven (was in Other)
• Touhou (was in Other)
• Undertale (was in Other)
• Xeno (was in Other)

And yet no greater, but more eminent,
   An update by the spring is grown;
   As, in the firmament,
Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
Gentle updaters' deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
From NSM’s awakened root do bud out now.

Hi everyone!

Lately a few people have expressed interest in creating new art for the main site. As the current banner is nearly 9 years old (over half the age of the site itself!) it's a good time for a visual refresh. We're going to need a new banner, as well as a logo (currently we're just using the banner image as the logo as well in multiple places).

So if you're interested please let me know here in this topic or message me privately! The details of technical specifications as well as any other requirements will be sorted out soon; we're just trying to gauge interest and give everyone a heads up for now. There's no guarantee we will be using anyone's particular artwork, but we will be open to submissions.

Thanks~

Hey everyone!

Today I'm writing to announce that we have two new Code Monkeys joining the team. So without further ado, please welcome Th3Gavst3r and Ethan! Rest assured we will be doing our best to go absolutely bananas.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention that we should have some exciting new developments to share veeeeerrryy shortly, so stay tuned for more updates.

Happy NSMing!
