notes: 'SNES Generation is a series of arrangements and covers of modern game music
  composed to the limitations of the Super Nintendo. Each game is paired with one
  from the SNES that was either from the same series or they shared similar gameplay
  and sounds.

  Some of the choices of the paired titles may seem odd to some. I explained some
  of the choices and sources used in each of the songs'' descriptions but I''ll write
  a couple here. For example Assassin''s Creed and Chrono Trigger to me shared themes
  of time travel, apocalypse and interesting eras. Where as Skyrim and Secret of Evermore
  were both composed by Jeremy Soule and he even created the games'' samples. This
  has been a fun experiment though and was enjoyable. If I do this again I will definitely
  give fans more of what they want.

  - Track notes -

  1. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (Super Castlevania IV)

  This was by far my most popular arrangement in this series. Lords of Shadow I think
  has a wonderful soundtrack and I feel great about arranging it. I love the older
  Castlevania music, but I think Lords of Shadow has great emotion and power, I hope
  that translates well in this arrangement.

  Here''s a list of what was used in order:

    (SCIV - Prologue) / Luminous Vista

    (Belmont''s motif)

    The Warg, Besieged Village

    Waterfalls of Agharta

    Belmont''s Theme

    Final Confrontation

  2. Assassin''s Creed Series (Chrono Trigger)

  The similarities are uncanny between Assassin''s Creed and Chrono Trigger: a time
  travel element, history rife with conflicts, an ancient civilsation seemingly advanced
  and an impending world catastrophe. I actually planned to use more songs from the
  games but it was already becoming quite long as it was. I sort of designed my own
  kind of Animus loading as if it were on the SNES and there''s a little nod to the
  view point melody from Assassin''s Creed 2 with a little eagle sound in the middle.
  Of course there is some Chrono Trigger references! Mainly Battle 1 then Corridors
  of Time, with a vibe of Courage and Pride and Trigger''s theme towards the end.

  Songs used from Assassin''s Creed 2 and Revelations:

    Earth

    Venice Rooftops

    Ezio''s Family

    Revelation''s Theme

  3. Mass Effect Series (Super Metroid)

  An arrangement of the music from Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3. Including the music for
  Brinstar and Mother Brain from Super Metroid. The reason why I chose Super Metroid
  to cover Mass Effect is because obviously they are both set in space but also that
  Metroid''s sounds were really compatible with the music from Mass Effect. It seemed
  like a good fit. Could argue that I should have used Star Ocean but I never played
  the original.

  Music covered/arranged from the Mass Effect series:

    Leaving Earth

    Mass Effect Theme

    Normandy

    The Attack

    The Lazarus Project

    Uncharted Worlds

    New Worlds

    Suicide Mission

    An End Once And For All

  4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Secret of Evermore)

  Skyrim and Secret of Evermore are both composed by Jeremy Soule. The sounds used
  for Evermore were also built by Soule, which has been really fun to play with. I
  was mostly looking forward to covering ''The Streets of Whiterun'' which I think
  is a beautiful piece and probably my favourite Skyrim song.

  Here''s a list of what songs were used in order:

    Skyrim - Dragonborn

    Evermore - Main Title

    Skyrim - Watch the Skies

    Evermore - Minor Minion

    Skyrim - The Streets of Whiterun

    Skyrim - The Jerall Mountains

    Skyrim - Dragonborn

    Evermore - Main Title

    Skyrim - Far Horizons.

  5. Super Mario Galaxy ''Gusty Garden Galaxy'' (Super Mario World)

  Gusty Garden Galaxy is probably my favourite Nintendo tune in recent memory. Recent...holy
  crap it came out nearly 6 years ago! *sigh* Getting old. This one is a cover as
  well as I didn''t really have time to make it a big arrangement but I tried to make
  it sound more like a track from World.

  6. Zelda: The Wind Waker ''Outset Island'' (Zelda - A Link to the Past)

  This is literally a cover of Outset Island. Wind Waker HD was soon to be released
  at the time and I looove the song. I was losing inspiration to do the series and
  this gave me a little boost. I should have tied it in more with Ocarina of Time
  since Kokiri Village shares some of the same music from Outset Island, but I was
  happy to just do a cover.

  7. Batman Arkham City (The Adventures of Batman and Robin)

  I love a good Batman game. I really had to use The Adventures of Batman and Robin
  to do Arkham City. City has a great soundtrack but I don''t think much of it is
  really that memorable to people besides its epic main theme. This is a cover too
  but I wanted to give it more of the SNES Batman edge by including some of the original
  theme.

  8. Max Payne 3 (Contra 3)

  When I finished Max Payne 3 I got these Contra samples and just started to try and
  cover the song ''Tears'' with them and it sounded pretty cool. That is what gave
  me the idea to do this series. If I hadn''t tried doing this then I probably never
  would have thought to do it. I''ve heard some great arrangements of modern songs
  turned into SNES music before but not a lot of modern game music. So I felt compelled
  to do some.

  Music used from Max Payne 3 is the song Tears and also the theme of Max Payne.'
