On Monday, the Grammy award-winning 8-Bit Big Band released a fantastic cover of the classic Wii Sports Theme from Nintendo and composer Kazumi Totaka. It is the first song on the orchestra's fifth album.
A Terrific Rendition of the Wii Sports Theme
"The Wii Sports Theme didn't have to go as hard as it did, to be honest," said the video's description on YouTube. "It's an incredible melody and over all vibe." The organizer says it reminded them of "In the Stone" by Earth, Wind, and Fire and that they "couldn't resist arranging this style mashup."
This cover is a Funk Fusion take from arranger Charlie Rosen on the original 2006 song that has become nostalgic for many who grew up with the Nintendo Wii. "There is something so magical about the specific brand of nostalgia associated with the 2000s era Wii music, so it was a huge pleasure to arrange this timeless Nintendo theme for the band to be the first track off of our upcoming 5th album," said the video description. More songs are on the way as the untitled 5th album is being worked on.
