>>58973882I’m not too bothered by RS or FRLG because those discs were reprinted in their entirety as part of ORAS and RG soundtracks so at least I still own those discs in a way
>The HGSS one is so expensive because it has the Game Boy tracks on it too, right? That and HGSS, like DP, has not been reprinted yet unlike RS and FRLG so there’s no other way to get the discs (at least that’s what I think), that in addition with the DS era and HGSS being nostalgia bait for a lot of people probably jacked up the prices
>Were they the actual GS songs or just the Game Boy Sounds versions?The GB Sounds versions; which were actually brand new arrangements made specifically for HGSS because the DS couldn’t perfectly recreate the GB sound chip
The translated interview here:
