"MAR10 Day" Shoutouts for 2024 / What's Being Planned This Coming Week

Posted by Merit Celaire on Sunday, March 10, 2024 - 09:23 PM

Good evening, friends; I just snagged this opportunity to give shoutout to all of you faithful followers/listeners of these music operations as a whole as we band together in celebrating Nintendo's annual marketing campaign for the Super Mario series as a whole (known as "MAR10 Day"). Earlier this morning, there was a brief announcement video that was posted by the Nintendo company as a whole itself which briefly detailed what's to come in the next few months (as well as the next Mario movie collaboration with the folks at Illumination slated for a 2026 theatrical release). You're able to check that video in question out by going here.

As for music operations related plans to give our shoutout to this year's "MAR10 Day", I am still hoping that during the course of this coming week, we can finally see about gettng the two upcoming covers that I've worked posted on their respective game pages - one targeting a song from Mario Tennis Aces and another focused on an "alternate version" of a super addictive song from Mario Kart Tour. Once that's done, it'll pave the way for me to update our "Music File Statistics Rankings" section for the first time this year, which includes our rankings document itself. Keep it locked on this front page for when said announcements drop regarding update activity here in the next few days ahead.

And finally, the other big reason why we want to make sure to get the above music operations related announcements taken care of this coming week is that we need to prepare to see about how yours truly is going to prepare to do the Super Nintendo music styled arrangement process targeting songs from the upcoming Princess Peach: Showtime! installment slated for release in about 1 - 2 weeks from now (although it's been announced that a gameplay demo is available according to this recent gameplay details video). More details regards preparations for this will be elaborated on further in a future post, so stay tuned.

Until then, all of you awesome people have a fantastic Sunday night as we prepare to wrap up this special "MAR10 DAY" itself and if you have any further questions about what has been shared here, please don't hesitate to let me know so I can get back to you in a timely fashion. Take care for now, and I'll see you folks again down the road. I'm out.

March 2024 Greetings: Preparing For A Challenging Month Ahead...

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, March 4, 2024 - 12:43 PM

Good morning, friends; apologies for being a few days late with this formal "monthly greetings entry" starting the new month of March. I've still been very busy on the backend sorting things out both within and outside of these music operations as a whole. Case in point, in case you didn't notice it from late last week, we managed to get the newest batch of Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers focused on songs from WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which can be found via this announcement posting.

But as what was elaborated during the previous month, that's only the beginning. As you can tell from the current status of our "Music Arrangements Progress Page", there are two other upcoming covers that are on standby to get finalized and posted on their respective game pages here on this site (more specficially, one upcoming song cover for the Mario Tennis Aces page, and another for the Mario Kart Tour page). Hopefully during the course of this week or next week, we can get this crossed off our to-do list from my planbook.

Not only that, but we've got to see about starting to get ready to write that formal "anniversary statement" for the 2024 year. We're hoping that during the course of this month, we can get a certain online form back in action again to accept suggestions from you all in regards to letting me know what you hope will be addressed in the upcoming statement, as well as how it should be apporached writing wise when the time comes for me to do the process. I'll keep you all posted in regards to when that form itself in question comes back online again for this year.

Finally, and to reiterate the very beginning of this blog entry (and the subject title itself), this is undoubtedly going to be a month full of music operations related "challenges" for yours truly. And yes, the major one that's still the biggest "adversarial force" giving me nothing but horrid heck - my "account issues/crisis" with Discord (which also had me post this announcement nearly two months ago). I'm not giving up the fight on this end; hopefully, I can also get an article written up to get you all up to speed in regards to how that has been coming along (since this also involves my music operation's related server that I'm not able to access because of certain "situations"). Details are still under lock and key since I still have an active support ticket, but I can say that based on "progress" made to resolve the situation, the respective departments are apparently trying my patience. But once again, I'll save that for another post down the road.

More importantly, on all that's been shared above, I really do hope and pray to God that all angles here will be accounted for because as you all are undoubtedly aware, there's a certain upcoming Mario series' installment that's about to get released onto store shelves later on this month starring a certain "lead Mario female", and yours truly definitely wants to make sure that I'm ready for it on the music arrangement process end when release date hits. If you haven't had a chance to read the related announcement regarding this, make sure to read this entry that I posted nearly one week ago.

That's all for this formal "monthly greetings entry" for March; as always, if you have any further questions for me regarding this post itself after reading it, please don't hesitate to send an email inquiry my way and I'll see about getting about to you about it when I'm able to do so. Take care for now, and I'll see you awesome people next time around. I'm out.

New Covers Targeting Songs From "WarioWare: Smooth Moves"

Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 - 06:07 PM

And just in time before this month of February comes to a close, everyone (and yes, I know that we've got one day left after this because of the "leap year") - this is the newest batch of Super Nintendo music styled arrangements that were focused on more songs that were originally heard in that very unique Nintendo Wii WarioWare game under the name of WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

Now, if you all can recall, nearly two to three years ago, this specified page was implemented to house the Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers targeting songs from WarioWare: Smooth Moves. And the first batch of covers there were targeting a certain "microgame stage set" - more specifically, the one hosted by Mona (more details here). Now this time around, the majority of our newest covers here target the microgame set of another female host who was also introduced to the WarioWare series as a whole...


That's right, it's Penny! Granted, the "style" is a little bit different music wise as compared to Mona's (especially since during that time, Penny would be considered the "cutest of the girl bunch" - along with being the granddaughter of Dr. Crygor aspiring to become a famous inventor in all of Diamond City... as well as hoping to become an awesome pop music star too) - but it still caught my attention for the most part. So far, I was only able to do three "songs" under this set, which you'll find the links to near the end of this post. Oh, and just like the ones I did covering certain songs from Mona's microgame stage set, the ones targeting songs from Penny's microgame stage set also use the Super Nintendo music instrument set from Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. It'd make sense to have called on it for this batch of songs. And yes, you can tell I'm a fan of Penny just as much as I'm a fan of Mona.


But wait, I've got one more Super Nintendo music styled arrangement cover to share with you, but this one had me call on the instrument set for Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge - it's targeting the song that's heard when we're navigating the "Diamond City Map" (which also serves as the "main menu/stage select for WarioWare: Smooth Moves). This song itself caught my attention as well, and once you check out my song cover for it, you'll find out why.


All right, you can find all these four new postings via the following links below:

New File No.
Song Title
SNES Music Arrangement Style/Featured Instrument Set
1
Penny - Introduction
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES Version - Konami)
2
Penny - Microgame Success
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES Version - Konami)
3
Penny - "Game Over" Menu
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES Version - Konami)
4
Diamond City Map (Main Menu/Stage Select)
Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge

And that's all for now; as always, if you guys have any further "song candidate suggestions" that you found in relation to WarioWare: Smooth Moves which you hope I'll consider for my planbook down the road, please don't hesitate to let me know via this form (just make sure that you have chosen the "WarioWare: Smooth Moves" title in question 2A). Also let me know via our primary online contact form if you have any issues with accessing the four new music file links above. Thanks in advance as always, everyone, and I'll see you all next time around; I'm out for now.

Getting Ready for "Princess Peach: Showtime!" Next Month

Posted by Merit Celaire on Friday, February 23, 2024 - 05:04 PM

All right, everyone; in case you weren't aware, in just about one month from now, a certain upcoming Mario series game installment is making preparations to hit store shelves in a big way - only that it has us passionate fans of our "lead Mario female" in its sights (which includes yours truly).

So, earlier this week, the marketing efforts from Nintendo as a whole started to increase in earnest hoping to get all of us ready for the release of Princess Peach: Showtime! for the Nintendo Switch console late next month. Although I'm still praying for a miracle regarding when in God's name will I ever get a Nintendo Switch console itself at all just for this aforementioned game installment in question, yours truly will still be working his sources to find those song candidates for upcoming Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers here when the time comes.

In the meantime, and as a reminder: please refrain from sending me any possible "song candidate suggestions" involving the musical score of Princess Peach: Showtime! until after the game's release itself (which once again, is scheduled for 3/22/2024). Plus, as per our music operation's policy itself, we still need to get answers on who are the game score composers before yours truly can really start the music arrangement process itself (which I hope will not be long until we get those answers because what I've heard so far excerpts wise has gotten my attention already).

Thanks for your understanding of all of this in advance and I'll keep you folks posted on any further developments as we prepare to definitely find those song candidates related to Princess Peach: Showtime! in earnest after late next month. Maybe there might be some other related surprises to go along with this as well, but God only knows. Take care for now, everyone; I'm out.
