Throughout Nintendo's career, at least in the part when they began to dedicate themselves to the world of video games, the music of the titles has been quite important for people to recognize the franchises, especially when we talk about the most recognized, we talk about Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. And the person in charge within the section could not be other than the renowned musician and composer, Koji Kondo.
The creator of great melodies had to receive a tribute, and fortunately the time has come, because they decided to add it to the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame, this for his contribution to the musical part of several popular video games. And it will be next February 15 when he receives his well-deserved recognition, specifically at the 27th awards ceremony SAYSnews that has spread quickly through official social networks.
