NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Organization XIII (KH2)]

Sorrow

I always loved Axel, Roxas, Larxene, and Xion from the organization. I always enjoyed this music but the cut scenes meant to go with it were always ones that either made you feel sad or upset at what they were doing. I always felt sorry for Namine and Roxas (Ventus) since it was thought they were meant to fade but they simply became one with Sora and Kairi.

I just go to say though that this is a beautiful cover. The piano sounds very sad and the synth playing choir notes in the back makes this sound like a very melodramatic cover. Very wonderful cover.

Overall, excellent cover, well enjoyed.

[Shang (T)song]

So sad

Like the mixture here. You have a mixture of the original MK theme along with some added piano tunes and drums. Then you also added a bass line to it to make it more sad and softer as well. Really thought the vocals here were quite funny as well. Really have to say though, this is a pretty funny dedication song to the most evil sorcerer in the MK universe aside from Quan Chi.

[Bowser the Shredder || Mario64]

Still amazing

This is still probably one of the best cover versions of all time of the final battle with Bowser from Super Mario 64. Coolest remake of a boss battl from that game ever. Always loved this one. <3

[Giratina]

Creepy

I always had fun in the battle with trying to catch the bugger but this piece reminds me of how weird and creepy that thing's battle theme was, not as creepy as where it resides though. I have to say though I really did like this though, excellent cover.

[Dance Beats - Let It Go]

Groovy

You have an excellent singing voice too! I have to say though that this was a pretty good beat as well. Nice work on this, have fun on future works.

[D|o|p|p|e|l|g|a|n|g|e|r (]

Nice wip

As far as I am concerned this sounds like a great WIP. Would love to hear what it is like when finished. This sounds pretty good, have fun on future projects.

From what I can disclose, there are more guitars and instrument swaps in the finished product... ;D

Thank you for the review!

[FF8 Premonition - Remastered]

Great cover

I just enjoyed this piece as it was one of the more relaxing boss battle pieces strangely. I always found it sad when after disc 2 you find out Edea only acted as she did due to sorceress from a different timeline. Really nice cover of the boss theme, nice work on it.

The drums are very nice here and to the theme. The flutes were really pretty sounding yet harsh as well making it sound cool. The bells, xylophone, and trumpets were all quite dynamic and adding to the feel. The ambient violins were also quite well done and give that quality feel as if this is the last battle ever.

Overall, beautiful cover, good times, great boss battles.

[Pixelated Waters - DKC Remake (Aquatic Ambiance)]

Bad times, good cover :-)

I have no idea but I could never truly stand the aqua levels in Donkey Kong Country, the music just creeped me out and made me think of Resident Evil if anything. However I will say you did a wonderful cover version here.

The bass is very soft yet heavy at the same time. The synths kind of creep me out here as well since they just have a real eerie effect to them in the game. The drums sound very simple yet calming here as well, nice.

Overall, good cover.

BallinFatty responds:

thanks. glad you enjoyed it. i didnt mind the waters levels, at least not in DKC. i've always liked the music too. really enchanting, if thats the right word... the ones in DKC3 were the ones i hated, but they too, had pretty awesome music.

the synths in the wasp section dont sound as good when you lower the pitch so much. the one that is used for bass was too soft, and couldnt be heard, so i had no other choice but to use the one i did. i need the full version of FL8...

anyways, im glad you enjoyed it. thanks for the review, 9, and your time in listening

[Deoxys Battle RMX]

Psycho remake

Well I think this is rather fitting of it since that thing takes a bit of time to wake up and then it stands before you. You challenge but only have one Poke Ball, good luck catching that thing. Nice to see how it had more than one form though.

The drums sound real good here. The xylophone like sound here is really pleasing. Also the synth sounds quite cool here. The whole tune together just lets one know that Deoxys is rare and nutty yet cool. Only other space Pokemon I know of is the Clefairy family.

Overall, nice cover.

[The-Rising]

Nice one

Remember when you made this one as well. The lyrics are greatly done. Once more double bass is always a pleasure to hear from the drummer.

The guitar sounds quite great and I really love how it sounds The bass is pumping and playing a very deep and great beat. The vocals sound very charming and harsh, awesome.

Overall, metal!!
