Yeah, TMB just informed me on that.

Not that I'm complaining. It's just... Wise IS Donkey Kong Country.

I'm sure it'll still be kickawesome.

Not going to lie, this'll put a huge dent in my enjoyment of the game.

If it plays like the old ones, I'm sure I'll still buy and love it, but a huge part of the original trilogy's charm comes from the soundtrack. They're some of the only games I'll play specifically to hear the music.

I love David Wise. He's one of the greatest composers in the world. I'm just glad he finally ditched Rare and can work freelance now. The industry has missed him badly.

That said (and with DKC2 being my favorite game soundtrack), Wise didn't do the third DKC, and it was magic. I'm going to have a little faith in Nintendo here. Kenji Yamamoto is Mr. Super Metroid. He's probably the one internal employee at Nintendo that I would consider qualified to touch the holy grail that is DKC for his atmospheric works. He was actually my one realistic hope to get for the game. I figured we'd get stuck with somebody who can't handle it, but it should all work out with Kenji at the helm.

But don't worry about Mr. Wise. He's finally free of the sinking ship that is Rare and can work again. I hope we hear from him soon.

Woah, really? To this very moment, I thought Wise did all three of the SNES games. I loved DKC3's soundtrack as well.

I know for a fact when DKC3 came out on Game Boy Advance, he redid the soundtrack.

But like TMB, I think the soundtrack to DKC2 is the best of the trilogy, and is one of the most amazing of all time.
