They're energetic. I don't want to cry halfway through playing Mario, why would I want to feel emotional when playing that game? Sure you'll probably feel nostalgic, but his tracks aren't even supposed to be like modern gaming music, which is good. Also, no reason to be ''fed up'' with people just because they have a different taste than you.
And yes, he might have composed for some of the best games ever, but his music has contributed to make them such amazing games.
Whoever made the soundtrack for Beyond Good and Evil needs to make more for other games. I was blown away by the ambiance the music created.
My vote goes to Hans Zimmer everything he makes is just epic.
I thought I did, but apparently I don't

If you die you die but if you don't die you still die.
Nobuo Uematsu so far ahead of anyone else.
I don't think if have heard of many groups performing the other guys music. Nobuo Uematsu sells CDs and seats for concerts like mad... even when it isn't him performing.
EDIT: Also of note is the fact he did a lot of really good work on the SNES... not exactly a high quality sound system.
Nobuo Uematsu
Koji Kondo
Yasunori Mitsuda
Matt Uelmen
