nights into dreams : take the snow train

 

[hylatio]

This the one that always comes to mind for me:

Kirby 64 - Shiver Star

 

[Bloodporne]

Phendrana Drifts (Metroid Prime)

Came here to post this. Probably the coolest (no pun intended) winter level I've ever seen and heard in a video game. The music is just so chilly sounding.

 

[Ysarus]

I like Mystery Crystal from Baten Kaitos.
Freeze from Tales of Phantasia.

 

[darkstar0155]

But Sylvanum isn't snow. It's more like pollen. For example the blizzard like weather condition is actually called spores

This was the first thing I thought of (probably since i'm in the middle of the game.. post ending). I know its not snow and technically spores, but its my favorite track in the game and is really good so im glad someone mentioned it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X - Sylvalum Theme - More crystal than snow, but it conveys the bleakness of winter.

Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone

 

[Terareflection]

Nier - Snow in Summer

 

[darkstar0155]

I was just thinking about making this thread right now.

Xenoblade Chronicles X - Sylvalum Theme - More crystal than snow, but it conveys the bleakness of winter.

Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone

They are actually spores, not even crystal. But I love the track, best in the game.

 

[dangerskew]

First post gets it right as usual. Phendrana Drifts is fantastic.

 

[Jockel]

I raise you White Glacier from Bomberman 64

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

[BaldusCattus]

Seriously, three pages without Terra's theme?

I was just thinking about making this thread right now.

Xenoblade Chronicles X - Sylvalum Theme - More crystal than snow, but it conveys the bleakness of winter.

Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone

I was just barely humming the Sylvalum theme.

 

[jett]

If we're bringing ice/snow into the mix, then DKC's ice cave chant is my favorite. Just magical.

Earthbound - Winter Theme

IT CANT BE BEATEN

...but Snowman from the same game is better.

I made a ice/snow playlist a long time ago. Obviously the list would be expanded now that a lot more games came out and I experienced a lot more soundtracks, but I think you'll find a good mix of both upbeat and tranquil music with a very icy ring to it. =)

You all are just the best. Everything I could think of has been posted here and covers the gamut of emotional responses.

Ya done good GAF.

 

[DedValve]

I see this thread is taken care of, hehe. Such a great track.

Literally exactly what I ctrld+f.

Still blown by that music and massive change of environment. I wasn't expecting it at all.

 

[Casanova]

Snowboard Kids on N64 had some really good tracks. If you ever had the pleasure of playing it, I'm sure you remember this tune:

Oh man, still can't believe how good is that OST... Would love a 3D Donkey Kong game from Retro Studio where we explore big and beautiful levels with that kind of music.

 

[Hargon]

One and done.

Not really cause there's also...

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Phendrana mentioned

Secret of Mana mentioned

Gonna go with:

Blaster Master stage 6 and Napple Tale Snow Princess for completely unexpected tempo

and what the hell, the artist doing a piano version of Blizzard Buffalo from MMX3 just because

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Nobody ever mentions Festival Village from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon in these threads:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhQwx4nYVA4

 

[PSqueak]

With Snowman (mother series), in a snowbound land (DKC2), Freezezy Peak (BK) and Snowdin (Undertale) covered, i guess i have no suggestions.

Well, tangentially related, Sasha's theme from Advance Wars: Dual strike is kind of snow themey and Blue Moon is supposed to be the world's equivalent of russia, so that.

 

[SLV]

Well this place and sound was the first thing i thought off when i red the name of the thread, so this for me.

Final Fantasy VII Buried in the snow

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

These are the perfect "darker" snow themes and more accurate when your stuck inside your house with no electricity.

Donkey Kong Country- Northern Hemisphere

Golden Eye 64-Surface 1

Golden Eye 64-Surface 2

Timesplitters 2- Siberia
