A little jaunty holiday tune from @skatunenetwork.bsky.social that is the ultimate hater anthem towards a terrible person and made Kendrick Lamar say "Damn, he really hates that guy, don't he?"
You know it, you love it, and this is a fantastic cover.

Here it is for reference!
A lot of games have different music on the NES vs the Famicom (such as Zelda 1). If that's true here then Miyamoto is probably describing his reaction to the Famicom version, but I couldn't find that info with a quick search

![PEOPLE:
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 72. Creator of Zelda. Producer and Director of Super Mario Bros..
- Koji Kondo, age 64. Composer for early Zelda titles and for Super Mario Bros..
QUOTE:
Miyamoto: I think that the expression of the underground theme [in Super Mario Bros.] is a masterpiece! [Laughs] I was thinking, “So you're gonna bring in a bass slap here, huh?” I was surprised how it turned into a proper song even though it was made with sound effects.
I was cognizant of how it would feel cold if you went underground, so I thought it would be better to use black for the background, and when I heard those sounds, the feeling of cold was amplified, and it was like, “Whoa! It works!” [Laughs]
Kondo: … I wanted to give the underground BGM a quiet feeling, so I included slap-bass phrases that were popular at the time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreidqru2wwx6fla7277uluci7eph4uxw42krffdszambkjl6ycp7ipa@jpeg)

The coolest video game ever made, Jet Set Radio’s enduring legacy is a killer soundtrack and popularizing cel-shaded visuals in video games. While the timed stages can occasionally be frustrating, traversal in JSR still feels great.

There is a humorous error message in Paper Mario: Color Splash. When loading Luigi, the game does a quick "bone check" to see if his position is defined. If he fails his bone check, the developer console prints out "Luigi is elegal!!", likely a misspelling of "Luigi is illegal".

One easy fix would be to eliminate categories based on genre or whatever “indie” means and instead get granular about craft (best level design, best world, best combat, etc) which would probably pose other problems but at least make for more interesting conversations and honor specific people

I think these awards felt especially boring because categories like Best RPG and Best Indie each honor overall quality among a subset rather than a specific craft. If a game is the best of the year, and it’s an RPG, obviously it is also the best RPG. Needs an overhaul to avoid pointless repetition

I think this piece is incredible. For some reason basically every piece of art of Link running out into the stormy night is always one of any artist's bests.
