Throughout the Nintendo Life Video Game Music Festival we’re speaking to a range of composers and musicians for a mixture of in-depth interviews and shorter, sharper (and perhaps a little goofier) Q&As where we ask just ten rapid-fire personal questions; we’re calling these shorter features ‘Quick Beats’.

Today we’re catching up with the legendary composer behind countless VGM classics, including a run of Rareware NES classics too long to list, the Donkey Kong Country series (of course!), and more recent work such as the incredible soundtracks to Tengami and Snake Pass, not to mention Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee pair.

So, let’s find out about David Wise’s musical tastes, favourite songs, and all-time heroes…


What was the first song or album you remember buying?

X-Ray Spex, Germ Free Adolescents.
