Reply to comment by drakeftmeyers in favorite video game soundtrack? by pspartoutsr

I was referring more to games with soundtracks featuring licensed music.

Nintendo game soundtracks are licensed. You mean songs that were not originally made for a game.

My original post was specifically talking about music licensed specifically for a game, not music composed for a game, i've never once heard of original video game compositions refereed to as licensed music.

They hire composers and the music is Nintendo licensed, you get copyright notice using song/sample/instrument version. I'm a musician and Nintendo sheet music is very popular

I guess I see your logic, I should've specifically said licensed SONGS in the original post to be more clear.

All good, I play more soundtracks than videogames, Vice City and GTA V also my favorites

my favorite composed soundtrack would probably be Dying Light, very John Carpenter-esque.
