I was never able to play Pikmin as a grew up. It looked like something I would enjoy, but the games were expensive and we were never able to buy them. Knowing that the games have a loyal fanbase, I understand that I have missed out on a lot. But, I have been listening a lot to the soundtracks, and I knew I eventually wanted to play the games as well. Luckily, now all games will be available for the Switch, and I am finally able to play them! "The Forest of Hope" has always stuck out to me. It has a very Nintendo-y melody, but it also has some elements of danger. This is my arrangement of this track.

Dance of the Moonlight Jellies feels like a deep breath on a quiet summer night. The music is soft and calming, almost like it’s floatin. It really captures that peaceful, magical vibe of standing by the water, watching the lights drift by. It's one of those tracks that makes you stop and just feel the moment.

Earthbound is one of the funniest and weirdest games I have played, but it is just so unique. While I prefer the story of Mother 3, the comedy in Earthbound is way funnier. Onett is the first town you arrive in, and it starts off with a banger. Hope you will like it.

I was a little late to play Dying Light. I first experienced it when it released on the Switch, but it ended up being one of my all-time favourite zombie games. I just loved the freedom and balance between parkour and horror. With the soundtrack being very synth-heavy, I wanted to make the arrangement only with acoustic instruments. Hope you will like it.

Banjo-Tooie did exactly what a sequel should do. Take what made the first one great, and introduce new elements. This is one of my favorite tracks from Banjo-Tooie. It sounds like something you would whistle while working in a mine, but it manages to maintain the quirkiness that both games are known for. I tried to keep it somewhat "true" to its original sound, just adding my own little twist to it.

The desperation, ignorance and sadness many of the characters show, along with the eeriness the Skull Kid has, just makes this game so unique. I try to play through the game one time every year, and I enjoy it so much every time.

This cover was a request from my Patreons (thanks Jon Ruud for the suggestion!). Stardew Valley is one of the games that will go down as one of the classics. With every new update, a ton of hours goes into starting a new farm and trying to make the perfect farm. I really enjoy this track, as it starts calm, but grows into this big section that feels like a celebration of spring. I did a few changes in this cover, like transposing it down for my flute, and also trying to maximize the big feeling at the end. Hope you like it!

The Earthbound/Mother series is one of my favorite series from Nintendo. "Snowman" is a recurring theme in all games. I love the two different characters this theme has. It starts off with a calm and nice melody, but gradually shifts towards more energic and chaotic. I made an arrangement where I tried to keep these two moods, while giving my own little spin to it.

A surprisingly haunting, but beautiful tune, during the winter season of Harvest Moon 64 (Bokujō Monogatari 2 in Japan). There is no secret I love farming games, and this is no exception.

I don’t wanna know how many hours I have spent in each Animal Crossing game. I have played every single game since the first one on GameCube. There’s just something so soothing about the gameplay. I love the sense of community as I interact with quirky villagers, each with their own stories and personalities. It’s a perfect escape, letting me unwind and create my own little slice of paradise. And I know, I didnt hold the finger cymbals correctly. But they just looked so funny with one on each thumb, so I had to include it.

The iconic "Spiral Mountain" theme from Banjo-Kazooie was of course present in the sequel, but this time the whole area is a mess. I tried to capture the essence of the track, but slightly turning it more towards a dystopian horror track. With a little surprise at the end!

I start a new save on Stardew Valley every year, and play it about 50 hours before I quit and delete the save. Then I start a new save the year after. Stardew Valley is one of the games that is just so fun to try to "make it right" and use what you learned on your previous play to make your new farm even better. With the fall approaching, I thought it was a good time to release this. I think this track captures really well the transition from summer to fall, and then towards winter, with a relaxing and happy intro, then slowly getting darker and more melancholic. Hope you like my version.

Few things takes me back as "Wind Waker". I had played Ocarina of Time on N64 before, but it was this game that really made me fall in love with the series.

I am not going to lie; When I first saw the leak of this game, I thought it looked so stupid. But after the official announcement, I completely changed. It has a colorful world, and the battles looked really fun. And it turned out to be one of the best games on the Switch, and one of the very few games I cared to beat 100%. The soundtrack is one of the best works of Grant Kirkhope, and this is one of my favorite tracks from it.

For some reason, I never played The Witcher. They seemed too big and too much of an investment to get into. Then they released The Witcher 3 on the Switch, and I decided to give it a go. And I am so glad I did! Without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played, and with a really unique soundtrack. Here is my version of one of the battle tracks.

Sometimes I check out music from games I haven't played. This was the case for Rune Factory. Though I have heard about it a lot (mostly from fellow Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons fans), I have never actually played it. When I heard this track, I immediately realized this game was for me.

While I preferred the gameplay of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I can't deny that the music from the first game was absolutely fantastic. The Xenoblade series is a bit special to me, because it was the series that made me become a fan of the JRPG genre. This track is played during the snowy area on Bionis' right arm.

I got so many nice comments when I did my previous cover from "A Wonderful Life", so I really wanted to make another one. "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life" ("Bokujō Monogatari: Wonderful Life)", as the game was originally called, is one of my most played games ever. And with the remake (with the new title Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life"), I played it all over again! Here is my version of "Quiet Winter". It is not a very typical winter track in my opinion, with multiple melodies playing at the same time. But still, a very interesting and unique track.

Now that the winter is slowly approaching us, I decided to cover some of my favourite winter/snow-related video game tracks. First off, is "Freezeezy Peak" from Banjo-Kazooie. Not only does it have a killer track, but the whole level itself is one of my favourite areas from Banjo-Kazooie. I hope you like like my arrangement.

Sometimes you hear music from games you haven't played, but they still resonate with you. That is exactly what happened when I first heard "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" from the Forest Maze area. I have always heard that Super Mario RPG is one of the best Mario games, and I am very excited to finally play it, now that the remake is almost here. And maybe, I can finally understand why everybody wants Geno in Smash. And thanks to my friend Jonas, for borrowing me his Luigi shirt. Lets a go!

No matter how many times I replay Ocarina of Time, I always have a great time. The story, gameplay, presentation, characters…and the music, is what makes this one of the best games of all times. This is my arrangement of “Lost Woods”. I wanted to make something that feels alive and energetic, but not too polished and clean.

Probably the most recognizable theme from modern TV. I started watching Game of Thrones way later than everybody else. When season 8 started airing, I decided to binge the entire show. I didn't make it in time before the final episode, but I am glad I decided to watch it anyway. Even with a disappointing final season, it kept me invested the entire time.

Being the huge Zelda fan as I am, the joy of finally playing a new game is always something I cannot even describe. I try to avoid any trailers they release, before I can actually play the game myself. When Breath of the Wild released in 2017, I was surprised by how they had changed the gameplay from previous games, but it didn’t take long (during the tutorial area) before I thought “Yes, this is how it should be”. When Tears of the Kingdom released, I hadn’t played BOTW since I finished it back in 2017. I was reminded of what I loved about the BOTW, but also amazed of how it felt so much more alive and inviting to explore.

When people ask me "What was your favorite game when you were a kid?", I always reply "A Wonderful Life". There are few games that I have sunk as many hours in, as this game. The farming, animals, characters, and all the small mysteries, made this game so good. I even bought a small TV, so I could play outside in the sun. Now, we are finally getting a remake of the game, and I am very excited to dive in once more. The game was released as "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life", but the remake is called "Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life".

There is probably no other game that has formed and inspired me, as much as Banjo-Kazooie did. Both as a gamer and as a composer. The pure joy and excitement you get when you play the game is hard to find in other games. When they put the game out on Nintendo Switch Online, I had to replay the entire thing, and that inspired me to make a cover of one of the tracks from the game. I decided to cover "Spiral Mountain" since its melody gets stuck in the head after just one listen.

I was inspired by the music from the old Super Mario Bros. games, and this inspiration was used to compose "Balloon Flight". I imagined an air balloon lifting off from the ground, and flying across the landscape in a whimsical way.
