Which main series game has the best opening theme music?

[BigBadButterfree]

Ok, by "opening theme" are we talking about like, title screen main themes?

I voted NL. I like the piano but the most out of everything, but I'm disregarding the second half of the theme in the slower tempo because it's gross

Very close second is the original GC one. That piano theme is iconic and I spent a long time learning it on the piano (the full version, too, which is actually hard to hear in-game).

The fact that Population Growing isn't the far-and-away winner is a shame.

Maybe it's just my nostalgia showing. Wild World is the clear second though. The rest are all tied.

Population Growing hands down. WW/CF is second though, I spent way too much time in CF, that theme is ingrained in my mind.

New Horizons for me.

I was coming in here expecting to be the only one who thought Wild World had the best OP. Glad to see lots of people agree!

City Folk was my first game, so I’ll always have some nostalgia for that tune.
NH’s theme is good too but I’ve heard it too much.

WW, maybe it’s the nostalgia but it’s my favourite of all the games

It might just be nostalgia, but I feel like GC has the best music overall lol, as far as opening theme and hourly music goes.

I voted WW and haven’t played PG for any extended length of time, but I expected PG to be more popular too!
