mario galaxy opening fanfare intonation kills me.

yes, so, seeing as i'm a pianist.. and i tune pianos also.... the mario galaxy opening little title screenfanfare (the last long note, to be specific) drives me absolutely bonkers. i mean seriously, it sounds like absolute trash in audio form.

is there anyone else out there in gamespot world that shares my grief? is there anyone who hears what sounds to be a trumpet that's like 50cents flat (who knows what's really going on with that chord)????? what was that audio tech thinking?!?

but hey, it's a great game, so what can you do...

also i just wanted to mention, galaxies contains the best mario music i've heard so far. that's discounting the nes and snes games though, cause no new game will ever beat the musical genius of games from those 2 systems. comes close though. reaaaaaaaal close.

To me, the trumpet actually sounds a little sharp, so what I think you're hearing is the lower instrument, French horn, sounding flat in relation to the trumpet. It's definitely out of tune, though. Good call.

If you were to ask the trumpet player, then everyone else was wrong but him. :P

the "press a+b' screen, yes. i'd sing it to you, but all i can do here is, "duh duh duh do do duhhhhhhh". the 'duhhhhhh' being the problem.

and yeah, the trumpet player is always right. what am i thinking!

I'm far from pitch perfect, but the time I spent paying attention in HS choirs told me something was wrong there. I feel like it's something more than the trumpet tho. Or is it just that with the trumpet being flat, that the rest of the chord sounds garbled?firebirdboi06
