Who do you think is the best Video game composer?

I gotta go for Kondo, his work on galaxy was IMMENSE
Kenji Yamamoto did good work on Super Metroid and the Prime series.

kondo only composed i think 4 songs for galaxy, the only one that i know for sure is good egg galaxy and i think the observatory music... other than his remixed songs...

the majority of music in galaxy was done by Mahito Yokota though...

Kenji Yamamoto did good work on Super Metroid and the Prime series.

I loved Yamamoto's work in Metroid. He should be on here.

It's a bit hard to say-- they all have their ups and downs. Koji Kondo's songs are catchy, but repetitive. Nobuo's are long, and classic-- but a bit boring. Kirkhope's songs are often weird, but they're catchy too.

Are you asking for favorite, or best? My favorite is probably Kondo... I like Kirkhope though.

i have to go with koji kondo he is my idol  one of the best composers and noone on the entire earth has recognised his big talent except for Nintendo  Koji you are the best!!! grant kirkhope is good too, but everything he writes is nearly the same. this is only my opinion and i think a lot of people wont share it

Dave Wise deserves to be on the list. Not only was his Donkey Kong stuff really good, but so was his work for the Star Fox series. We are forgetting a few people though. Like Masashi Hamauzu (Took over Final Fantasy after Uematsu left Square) and Kumi Tanioka (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series)

Well...there's a lot of talent out there...I love Kenichi Suzuki who did Earthbound music...his songs are usually very relaxing or straight up bizarre...the awesome kind. Kondo is a legend and Grant Kirkhope has really been up and coming.

I chose Nobuo, because his compositions have more feeling to them, and have more of a cinematic feel...I could use nobuo's work almost anywhere.

(kool aid).."OH YEAH!".....

ROFL!!!!! Oh gosh....that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!

[Brassman388]

Don't you mean "read all day"?

[The-Real-Link]

Don't you mean "read all day"?

Hmmm....I guess you're right.

[Brassman388]

I'm just messin man...it's all cool.

I think Koji Kondo is the best gamecomposer, because he has written so many pieces and there's so iconic, as mentioned before, but I think Kenta Nagata (I only know him from the Wind Waker) and Tsukasa Tawada (a personal favorite) are my faves. I love Tawada's piano/purple organ solos in the Pokémon games

Haven't heard much of the pokemon series..i'll be sure to go and check out some of them.
