Well, it’s been a while! I can’t remember ever making such a long break, I’m truly sorry…I had a lot of ideas in the meantime, but executing them turned out to be a problem – good thing Halloween came around to give me the motivation to finally finish another song! I hope I didn’t get too rusty during my downtime…

Today I present the result of our voting and this year’s Halloween Mix: Night of the Demon! As the name suggests, it’s basically a medley focusing on tunes related to demons – I included some of the songs you suggested during the voting period as well. There’s quite a few tunes in there, so here’s the list:

• Memorial of the Fallen Ones (Credits) – Demon’s Crest
• Akuma’s Theme – Super Street Fighter IV version
• At Doom’s Gate – DOOM
• Boss Battle – Shin Megami Tensei II
• Battle Theme – Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
• Demystify Feast – Touhou 7.5: Immaterial and Missing Power (I somehow got that mixed up with Missing Power at first – sorry about that!)
• ASGORE – Undertale

For Akuma’s tune I tried to make it sound a bit more like the SSF IV version, although I found it really difficult to get the notes exactly right. In the end I listened to my version so many times that it just started to sound right – but it might sound a little off to you.

And here it is:

Can’t do without the video of course – note that at the time of upload (and shortly before the first comments arrived) I actually confused the Touhou Theme I used, so it says “Missing Power” instead of “Demystify Feast”. This is incredibly embarrassing, so please forgive me:

Normally I would upload the video around the 31st, but if I can manage to do what I planned, there might be another video by then – no promises though, although I would have some catching up to do…

Just to be on the safe side, let me wish you a Happy Halloween!

I’ve been waiting to revisit this song for a while now. In 2011, I made a remix of the Luigi’s Mansion Main Theme called Mansion of Ill Omen – and now it’s back in all its glory! I present: Cursed Mansion!

There really isn’t anything surprising in here that wasn’t in the original. It’s a rather intense, fast take on Luigi’s Mansion‘s main tune – and it doesn’t sound very spooky at all. There’s also some Super Mario Bros. in there somewhere! Alas, that was in the original too. Of course, the instruments are largely different and effects have been adjusted and added to the mix. Also some adjustments in the song itself here and there and different mixing and stuff.

I didn’t spend too much time on this because I originally wanted to finish a different song in time – but it didn’t really work out that well, so I had to come up with an alternative. I think this song is definitely more than just a filler though! My excuse is, that they announced Luigi’s Mansion for the Nintendo 3DS and Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch not too long ago~

Alrighty then, less talk more listen:

And here’s the video as usual, I decided to add 2018 to the title as it is clearly a remake, even if I changed the name (kinda wanted to go for a shorter title):

You know, Luigi’s Mansion is just one of many older Nintendo titles that gets remade or ported or something similar lately. I sometimes think Nintendo likes to remake their older stuff just as much as I do!

Only one more month to go until this year’s Halloween special! Did you know there is a poll running on my YouTube channel where you can vote for the theme? It looks like it’s demons this year, which is perfectly fine by me. I’m just a little surprised that zombies didn’t get a lot of votes…better make sure you place your vote before the voting ends in early October!
