Which game has your favorite hourly music?

[Olimar]

I've been talking about the music with one of my friends about the music and I didn't see a thread about this since New Horizons came out. Out of the main series games, which one has your favorite hourly music and why? You can choose up to two!

For me, I actually get very bothered by repetitive noises so I tend to mute the music in most games and play with my own playlist, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks! Is there an ambiance about a game's music, is it purely because it takes you back to being younger or in a different time, or something else entirely that makes a game have your favorite music?

wild world, definitely

GameCube sounds the best to me. I suppose part of it is nostalgia on top of personal taste but I can say for sure that I don't like New Leaf's soundtrack at all. Wild World is my second favorite.

I'm so surprised that no one had voted for City Folk!

While Wild World was my first AC game, CF is the one I played the most as a kid, so all the hourly songs are so nostalgic for me. Even listening to them on YouTube gives me chills...

It also has this absolute banger:

wild world has the most nostalgia
but new leaf is the most melodic and beautiful to me

WW has nice upbeat hourly music (11 am is my favorite), while NL has emotional and beautiful music, that’s why I like both.

They went hard on Population growing's music, and i stand by it

Nothing beats Wild World music, its so nostalgic and relaxing.

I love the gamecubes music so much, it's very nostalgic to me but other than that I just love the soundtrack, very inviting and fun sounding music, I especially LOVE the music when you catch bugs/fish its funny sounding

New Leaf probably!

I picked Animal Crossing because it’s so unique and it really adds to the game’s unique feel. Also a lot of the synth in it is super 00s and reminds me of Radiohead’s Amnesiac album lol (first track on that album could have been an hourly song I swear)

I found that out when I was playing with a friend and he wanted me to turn off the music and play Radiohead instead and I was like
‘huh, this fits’

And then I picked City Folk because it’s the Wild World music I adore and was able to tell the hour of the day by but in high quality which is always nice

Definitely New Leaf! It feels super nostalgic for some reason :') It was very calming and I would sometimes play just to listen to the music.
