Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Best Credits Theme (Round Three)

I always found the Resident Evil 2 one hilarious because of how corny the entire scene is. But I just can’t not vote for Wario Land 3’s.

The first song proceeding to the next round is The Great Ace Attorney 2 with a 3-3 tiebreaker, Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 at 4-1, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna at 4-2, Portal 2 at 6-1, Super Mario Galaxy 2 at 4-2, and Resident Evil 2 at 3-2. Next update will be on Monday.

All of these were really easy choices that required less than zero thought, except Mario Kart Wii which ALMOST made me vote against my own nomination.

Might just be recency bias considering I just beat it, but Ghost Trick’s end theme is incredible. I can’t believe it’s getting put up against Mario Galaxy, but I gotta give my vote to Ghost Trick anyway. Such an amazing, lighthearted tune.

This time around the songs moving on will be Portal at 7-1, Mario Kart Wii at 6-1, Ocarina of Time at 5-3, Pokémon Colosseum at 5-2, Fire Emblem: Three Houses at 5-2, and Ghost Trick at 4-2. Next round is scheduled for Tuesday.

The Resident Evil 3 credits theme has always been so pretty. It’s almost unfitting for the game!

Nothing new for Xenoblade to have amazing music, but the end themes especially are just a whole other level of excellence.

Nearing the end of the second round now we have Xenoblade Chronicles 2 moving on at 5-2, Viva Piñata at 5-1, Bowser’s Fury at 4-2, Super Mario 3D World at 5-1, Persona 3 at 5-0, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 with a 3-3 tiebreaker.

Ed Sheeran makes his first appearance in the Nintendo Life VGM Tournament!

Oh god, I forgot about that delightful piece of infomation.

Wow, some amazing matchups here. I think I gotta give my vote to Metroid Prime’s end theme, as amazing as 64’s is. It’s just such an amazing sendoff to an incredible game.

And I go back and forth on whether PWWA or GAA’s credits theme is better. I voted for GAA because I love the references to Phoenix’s objection theme and the foreshadowing for Resolve, but both are amazing.

Entering the third round now, we have Metroid Prime with a 3-3 tiebreaker, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed at 5-1, The Great Ace Attorney at 5-1, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet at 5-3, Pokémon X & Y at 4-1, and Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion at 4-2.

Note: I am in the process of moving so the next round or two may be up longer than usual.

Future Awaits has really grown on me since I first heard it. However, it's up against Metroid Prime, so I have to vote for that... more of a principle than anything I really wouldn't mind if XC3 wins, though.

After a small hiatus we are back and should return to a regular schedule. The winning songs from last time are Portal at 7-0, Pokemon Colosseum at 4-2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at 5-2, Super Mario 3D World at 4-2, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Persona 3 winning 3-3 tiebreakers.
The next round should be up on Friday.
