David Wise

Um, but, um, but yeah, it, it, it's f- as a SNES prototype, it's one of the more impressive ones I've seen.

Um, the title music, which is probably David Wise, Andy.

Would it be the title music for it? Um-

Just phone him-

A second controller can be used to control the enemies, too.

Rare composer Grant Kirkhope stated on X that, "The leak looks real to me" and asked fellow roam, fellow former Rare composer David Wise, who Kirkhope then said was responsible for the music in the Super Nintendo prototype, for his opinion.

"It looks real to me," he said.

"It was a long time ago from a previous millennium, just like me and you, but what a millennium." [laughs] God bless David Wise-

[laughs]

... and Grant Kirkhope.

It's a really lovely game.

I mean, it's beautiful and it's got one of my favorite David Wise soundtracks of all time.

And yeah, you know, it's not Dinosaur Planet, but as we've seen from the Dinosaur Planet ROM leaks, it's pretty close.

It's pretty close.

Yeah.

Maybe David Wise, you know, David Wise.

Absolutely.

People love Donkey Kong country.

I can't speak highly enough of those two.

And so I think there was a very Nintendo thing when it did the company, but don't think we ever really wrote like nintendo i think the closest to nintendo was probably dave wise dave wise could do that style i couldn't that's why when i came to the bunch of kazooie there was no point trying to try that kind of poppy jazz like koji condos because i can't write like that i'm useless that's it that's about my own thing so i don't feel like any of the rest of us maybe evelyn and dave because they were there the first of manga maybe they had a more nintendo bone in the body than we did but i don't feel like me grandma robin did

what do you think the music, even though Banjo Kazooie doesn't sound like a Mario game, they do feel connected to me.

And I don't know if that's just because they're on the N64, or if there is something between the two that makes them feel, even musically, that they belong to the same family of games.

I see Dave from time to time.

We do chat online tons.

It's kind of ironic that the most known dk music is probably me and his man is which is kind of like how did that happen like it should be nintendo's music should be the most well-known dk so it seems to be like dave's you can't escape that right i feel like the dk rap equally is probably i'm probably not as equal i think dave's tune is superior obviously because he got shit but um but um i feel the dk raps you know the fact that you can use it in the mario movie they thought they had to do it you seem to

have a bit of a hatred for the dk rap

I can speak from my own experience that growing up, all I ever wanted to do was be a composer guy.

I wanted to be a David Wise.

You know what I mean? When I was a kid, it was like, that's what I want to do.

I want to compose like a donkey kong level soundtrack for a game and then that sort of like diminished and disappeared as i like came of age you know what i mean like as i got older as triple a development became what it became and as sort of indie development became what it became what i'm seeing a lot is these kind of independent movements to make a game by yourself and then there's kind of this very very strong incentive to just write your own music for the game So then someone like who just wants to compose music tends to kind of fall by the wayside.
