Masahiro Sakurai has posted a lengthy list of all the composers who have written music for games to be featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Basically, if they have a theme or melody featured in the game, they’re on the list. You can check out the full list at the link below, but I plucked a few that seemed a bit more interesting.
- Jun Fukuda (grasshopper manufacture inc.) killer7 / contact
- Keigo Ozaki (GAME ARTS Co.,Ltd.) PROJECT SYLPHEED
- Masafumi Takada (grasshopper manufacture inc.) killer7 / GOD HAND
- Masato Kouda Monster Hunter / Devil May Cry
- Motoi Sakuraba Golden Sun series / Mario Golf & Tennis series
- Tomoko Sasaki (TOKIOHEIDI) NiGHTS
- Yasunori Mitsuda (PROCYON STUDIO CO., LTD.) CHRONO TRIGGER / XENOGEAR
- Yoko Shimomura Kingdom Hearts series
Could these suggest possible characters or stages yet to be revealed? Or might they just be false hopes and it turns out that they’re simply contributing to the game’s original soundtrack? I’d sure like to see some Golden Sun or NiGHTS characters in the game…
Unfortunately, there’s no Jun Senoue on there, or anyone who’s worked on the Sonic series. In fact, with the Mario & Sonic game set for release this holiday season and with it being touted as the first game with them together, it seems highly unlikely that Sonic will be in the game now. If the composers list is any indication, NiGHTS will be Sega’s representative. Stupid Mario & Sonic game…
