▲ 76 ▼ Catchiest video game song? (lemmy.zip) submitted 1 year ago* by Elevator7009@lemmy.zip to c/games@lemmy.world 108 comments fedilink hide all child comments I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively playing other music.

I am aware of Ellen McLain's (GLaDOS voice actress) opera creds and think that's super cool though. Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, in fact I'm a big fan of the game's use of leitmotifs (am I using the word right?) and really enjoy its music, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer. permalink fedilink source parent
