The Green Fox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 In the SNES Star Fox there is a catchy theme song for the Star Fox Team that plays after victory over a boss ship. Why wasn't this re-utilized in the later Star Fox games? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 No music from the SNES was ever used again in the series. There were a couple of cuses in SFAs that may have been inspired by SNES music, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of cuses in SFAs that may have been inspired by SNES music, but that's it. Yeah well see, that was kind of my POINT. I was just wondering why, especially considering the fact that the original NES Super Mario Bros. theme was re-used in almost every Mario game that came after it.

Syphe D. Mar Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Maybe that because Star Fox 64 is a remake of the series, Nintendo decided to use new materials to separate it from the first, or maybe they did not want to use Argonaut's music because it also produce games for Sony. Of course, this is all just speculation and no one here can tell you why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have yet to find anything that suggests that Hajime Hirasawa worked for Argonaut. It was a joint venture. People from Nintendo helped too. I think the reason is more likely that of SF64's music being headed by Koji Kondo. He didn't write SF music, though he did do the sound effects. Kondo probably wanted to score SF in his own way, which was different than SF. Kondo wasn't alone, though. Hajime Wakai (not related to Hirasawa) actually did most of the score. Kondo mainly did the themes. The story of Hajime Hirasawa is not well known to the Nintendo fan community, but this is the current accepted story: The only well-known game he ever scored was SF. Supposedly he also did the music for Time Twist: Rekishi no Katasumi, an Japan-only Famicom (NES) game. It is clear that he left Nintendo shortly after SF launched. Supposedly, he went on to found this company: http://www.faith-inc.com/ . The company is music-related and appeared in Kyoto (Nintendo's hometown) in 1993 (Star Fox launch year). This company became known for producing MIDI chips for cellphones and selling ringtones. I haven't myself seen anything that definitively says that the Hajime Hirasawa that runs this company is the same guy, but the circumstances are too coincidental for that.
