Don´t know if this topic was made already, if so, ignore it, sorry.  :-[

Well, I´ve been playing the piano for 11 years, almost 12.

And you?

Off-Topic / Problem while playing piano
August 29, 2011, 04:23:05 AM
Recently, when I play the piano, I fell a terrible pain in my wrist, hand and even arm while playing songs like this, and I have to stop playing and rest a little bit. I went to the doctor: I had nothing. I asked my piano teacher: Said that could be some articulation problem and it will disappear soon. *Insert Spongebob´s narrator voice* Three weeks later... *Return to normal voice* still the same. Any idea what could it be? It only happens in songs like that, when you have to play the same chord again and again with a single hand.

It´s very odd, since 2-3 months ago I could play that song perfectly.  ???

EDIT: Also, I searched online problems that commonly affect pianists and some other pages with the right hand collocation on the keyboard (and nope, I put the right posture). I´m a little desperate, y´know, and I fear that it could go worse. Anyone had this same experience?

Forum Games / Let's count to 10.000!
August 24, 2011, 01:39:48 PM
OK, so... I created a new game. Basically, the rules are:
 
  - Just continue counting after the last reply. If two replies match in number, keep counting, it doesn´t matter!  :D
  - Do not post twice. There has to be at least one reply between your last reply and your new one.
  - Try to make short replies to make this thing faster.

Let´s start!

WE CAN DO THIS! >:D

Completed and on site

A request from the Megaman game "Maverick Hunter X", released for PSP long time ago and remake of the original Megaman X for the SNES. This time is "Zero´s Sacrifice", a great piano tune.

After listening to Deku´s "Undella Town" perfect chords, I think this song is for him, if he wants to. (please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please...  :'()
Well, everyone who wants to do it, welcome, too!  ;D

Nintendo / General Nintendo Discussion
July 29, 2011, 08:55:35 AM
What do you think about Mario Kart 7's and Super Mario 3D Land's names? Could be better.

BTW, coming on November and December.  ;D

Maybe a stupid question, but... Where would you live in the Pokemon World? Cities, towns, routes, mounts, caves, etc...

In Kanto I'd live in Cerulean, near Mt. Moon (Route 4) or Cinnabar, maybe in Vermillion too.
In Johto I'd live in Olivine, Goldenrod, Cianwood or Violet.
In Hoenn I'd live in Sootopolis, Route 113, Fortree, Dewford or Slateport.
In Sinnoh I'd live in Sunyshore, Route 225 or Canalave.
In Unova I'd live in Driftveil, Route 10 or Mistralton.

If I had to choose a region, I'd choose Johto, because it has Kanto near and, well, it's my favourite region so far!  ;D

EDIT: Oh! And I'd love to be the Trick Master's neighbor (Route 110)!  ;D

EDIT 2: In Orre I'd live in Agate, or Gateon Port.

Nintendo / Top Wario Songs! (10 MORE ADDED!)
July 27, 2011, 09:03:45 AM
Okay! So, after seeing the Top 100 Slow made, I decided to do another one with Wario songs! (WarioWare, Wario Land, all that stuff. As you can see, I love Wario games!  ;D) I´m not as bored as Slow, so this one has only 25, intead of 100, besides, there are not so many Wario games out there. Here it goes:

1. VS. Shake King! (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
        My very favourite Wario song of all time! Kinda short and repetitive, but still my favourite. Not much to say.

2. Tomorrow Hill (WarioWare Smooth Moves) [Link]
        So calm, relaxing, and... sniff... nostalgic.  :'(

3. Jimmy's Aerobics ~ Body Rock (WarioWare D.I.Y. DS) [Link]
        This song really encourages you to do more exercise!  ;)

4. WarioWare, Inc. (WarioWare: Minigame Mania!/Super Smash Bros. Brawl) [Link]
        The original is from WW: MM, but I prefer the remix from SSBB. I bet this sounds at the WarioWare, Inc. Diamond City Headquarters elevators all day!  ;D

5. Just Plains (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
         Just great music!  8)

6. Pecan Sands (Wario World) [Link]
         My god, such difficult stage! One of the best from Wario World.

7. Pause Screen (Wario World) [Link]
          Nya, nya, nya, nya, nyaaaaa! Nya, nya, nya, nya, nyaaaaaaaaaaa!

8. Crescent Moon Village (Wario Land 4) [Link]
          Fits perfectly a creepy village with ghosts, zombies, vampires and pink things with axes trying to kill you... BOO!

9. Desert Ruins/Tower of Revival (Wario Land 3) [Link]
          Nice catchy tune, yet dark and mysterious.

10. Gurgle Gulch (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
         Ahh... That piano... Anyone would like to do this one as a request?  :P

11. Plumber´s Cave (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
         This stage was meant to be on WL:SI!, but unfortunately wasn´t included. I wonder how the stage would look?  ???

12. Yellow Murmur (WarioWare Smooth Moves) [Link]
         Song that plays on Dr. Crygor´s Stage. Represents perfectly the weirdness of Dr. Crygor...  :-\

13. Fiery Cavern (Wario Land 4) [Link]
         Yeah, rock´n´roll, baby!  8)

14. Greenhorn Forest (Wario World) [Link]
         Another great piece from WW.

15. Glittertown (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
         A town made of neon, casinos and Shake King´s minions.

16. Mona Pizza! (WarioWare Twisted/Super Smash Bros. Brawl) [SSBB Link] [Original Song Link]
         Finally! One of the greatest themes on the WarioWare series! Put both songs, original and SSBB remix, since there has been a discussion on which one is better. I prefer the SSBB remix, though.

17. Haru-Natsu-Aki-Fuyu (WarioWare: Minigame Mania!) [;-;]
         Sniff... Another sad and nostalgic theme... Give it a try!  :'(

18. Palm Tree Paradise ~ Medamayaki (Wario Land 4) [Link]
         One of my favorites from WL4. Calm and peaceful... Excellent...  8)

19. Wario de Mambo! (WarioWare Twisted) [Link]
         Wario de Mambo, Wario de Mambo?, Wario de Mambo! Nya, nya, nya, nya, nyaa! (Repeat x10)

20. Bright Idea Boogie (WarioWare Twisted) [Link]
         Dr. Crygor is a GENIUS, I say!

21. Anyone for B-Ball? (Wario Land II) [Link]
         Someone? Oh! C´mon!  :D

22. Perfect! ~ Let´s get that treasure! (Wario Land II) [Link]
         A nice celebration tune!  ;D

23. Princess Toadstool Statue Found (Wario Land/Super Mario Land 3) [Link]
         A giant golden statue of Peach.  :o Certainly Wario´s most appreciated treasure!

24. World Map ~ Day (Wario Land 3) [Link]
         A world in a music box? How unexpected!  :o

25. Hot Roderick Race (Wario Land: Shake It!) [Link]
         Another rock theme. Easy boss, BTW.

Hope you like it!  ;D

NOTE: This is not a ranking, I love all the songs moreless the same.

Feedback / Arranging tricks or tips?
July 21, 2011, 04:07:27 AM
Well, I´m just curious about how other people here arrange.
For example, sometimes, I use Transcribe! when I get stuck in a song, a program similar to Audacity. I also train my ear with Notecard almost every day. At first, you don´t see any better, but when you train one/two weeks, arranging is a bit easier.
So... Do you use any program for helping you arrange? Any tip that makes your arrangements look better in Finale? Reply! :)

Nintendo / Nintendo´s E3 Press Conference!
June 07, 2011, 10:58:09 AM
Woohoo!!! Luigi´s Mansion 2, Wii U, Super Mario 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS (flying karts?), Zelda Skyward Sword...
I´m shocked. All this announcements were too much (my poor heart aches  :'().
What do you think about this year´s conference? I´m so excited about the Wii U :P.
WHYYY NEXT YEAR, WHYYYYYY!!  :'( :'(
Anyways, did you notice on the Wii U trailer that there was a new Zelda game, with Link battling a huge Armogohma? So that means for sure that there´ll be a new Zelda for WU, yay!  ;D
Oh! And the announcement of Smash Bros. both for 3DS and WU?!? I´ve almost had a heart attack! ;D

PD: I´ve been ill these days, so I couldn´t arrange a lot, sorry  :P. Anyways, I´m back to action now!  :D

Nintendo / Hey! Unknown Pokemon Crystal track?
May 04, 2011, 11:22:12 AM
I heard this on youtube:
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91X0hinbE5o

Maybe the music for the unused Johto Safari Zone, that was removed?
This is a mystery...  ???

IMPORTANT: This thread was a poll that is already on the "Pokemon Polls" topic, so I changed it for this one, so don´t care about the first comments and the poll.

Will my dreams FINALLY come true? If this comes out someday, I want a MUCH BIGGER Orre map (the one from Colosseum/XD  was really little!   :P) and all the 649 pokemon, YAY!!!! And sequel, not port... (if you think about it, it´s almost imposible to include all 649 in a port...)
Anyways, what do you think? Do you think this could happen? Nintendo said that a new Pokémon game was going to be announced soon, could this be the new one??

This pics are from a japanese magazine (obviously  :P) and a little blurry, but... wait, is that Agate Village?

Music / REMIXERS ARE WELCOME!
December 05, 2010, 11:32:35 AM
Hi! Maybe you´re wondering why I haven´t arranged anything recently. The thing is that I´m looking for remixers for
remixing the songs of one of the not very known Pokémon game:
        
          ----   POKÉMON TRADING CARD GAME GB 2: TEAM GREAT ROCKET IS HERE!   ---

This game was the direct sequel to the first one, and it only came out in Japan.
Well, I was listening to the soundtrack on Youtube, and is really great! And I said to myself, why does anyone want to remix
these wonderful songs? And I decided to make this project.
I wanted to remix the songs myself but, OH, WHAT A SURPRISE! I have no idea how to do it. :'( :'(
So that´s why I started to look for remixers.  ;D
Anyone interested will be welcome. If you are good at Photoshop or GIMP, feel free to do a CD cover, just in case...
Help me for making this game more popular! THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION  ;)
(I don´t support piracy. This will only make VGM more popular. Copyright of Pokémon and all it´s characters is NintendoTM´s.)
Here you have a sample of the soundtrack:

   SORRY IF THIS DOESN´T BELONG TO THIS FORUM, BUT I WANTED TO LOOK FOR REMIXERS HRE, IF YOU DON´T MIND  :)

Hello everyone! Kind of unusual to log in here... Glad to see NSM still running. But I have something I think you guys at NSM would enjoy! This Sunday I will be premiering a piano album called Video Game Piano with 20 renditions of VGM songs as well as a free sheetbook. Find out about it here!


I also humbly recommend to stick around for future projects. Thank you for your attention!

This song REALLY needs a Virtuoso arrangement, or at least, an arrangement like the one Brassman388 did with
"Ocean Temple" (Very good song also :)).
Here goes the Youtube video:
