They used to be OK, but their post-SNES games have been a little mediocre. (With the possible exception of Goldeneye?) The Donkey Kong Country/Land series was probably the last of their really good games. After that we got stuck with Donkey Kong 64, Banjo, Star Fox Adventures, etc.

starfox adventures was the beginning of their journey down the toilet in my opinion. and viva pinata is stupid shit.
Can't say anything about their post-2001-era, but I loved their SNES and N64 games. Especially Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
Even if their new games are bad, they still got one of the best sound departments in the industry.
I'm not a rare fan, exactly, though I happen to enjoy their older games (DK, Banjo) to sheer extents. And on a musical scale, their music tends to kick serious ass (and I'm not just being a fan boy, because the Conker's Bad Fur Day score is one of the most atrocious game scores I've ever heard). Dave Wise and Grant Kirkhope are the best two musicians that the company has, in my absolute honest opinion.
Prime's last sentence pretty much sums it up....and I didn't even read it until right now.
@Arich Boss #3: I'm just being a little sarcastic. No set is perfect, and sometimes it is a good idea to just settle for a nearly perfect set. (Look at the Ocarina of Time for example.)
@nensondubois: Wasn't San Francisco Rush made by Midway? Am I missing something?
I'm not complaining for no reason. It's isn't a "nearly perfect set" at all. Some instruments are nonexistent, some of the tempos aren't correct, and none of the tracks start at the very beginning.
I'm perfectly fine with what I've got, I'm just telling you that we've got a reason to bug you guys about the Banjo-Tooie set.
No, no, you've got it all wrong. I am being patient and I have been for nearly eight months. I've got the particular tracks that I want and I don't really have a problem with them, I'm just explaining to marioman that the problem is bigger than he thinks. He's trying to demagnify that fact and I'm sticking up for the rest of us who're waiting for the complete complete version.

San Fransisco Rush was made by Midway which has great music all the way.
Basically anything that says preliminary. Aside from the tags that we have in progress:
- I have Harvest Moon 64 almost done, but I can't identify sparse0b and sparse1d.
- Tags exist for Mario Golf, but I am not sure why they are not up yet. Same applies to Castlevania: LoD.
- jurassicPieter posted tags for The World is Not Enough, but they haven't been timed yet.
- Omochao renamed files for Pokemon Stadium 2 and Earthworm Jim 3D, but they are not tagged. If he will post them again, and someone will tag/time them, then they will be done.
There may be more that I am not thinking of. You can just ask before you start tagging, and find out if it is OK to continue.

"- I have Harvest Moon 64 almost done, but I can't identify sparse0b and sparse1d." Just name them Unknown song 1 and 2. I have a few tags for Pokemon 2 if you want but it's only about 5 songs tagged (names only)
