Album: The Impact of Iwata

Thanks. This is a known issue related to an intermediate fix for the torrents while we got some issues with the tracker worked out. Will resolve soon.

I wanted to point out the BitTorrent RSS link is broken, though only for this album. The tool I use reports:

...
"link": "https://bt.ocremix.org/https://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/The_Impact_of_Iwata.torrent",
"links": [ 
    "https://bt.ocremix.org/https://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/The_Impact_of_Iwata.torrent" 
],
...

As a result I didn't pick it up automatically, but was able to get it manually at least.

Hudak was the perfect choice for a leadout track, hell yes

Torrent for this is 100% dead, no peers, doesn't matter which client you use, I tried out BitTorrent and uTorrent, they both look like this.

Had a lot of people leeching/seeding last night when things went live. I personally used qBittorrent to make the torrent and saw peers using qBittorrent and Transmission.

I can take a look again at the torrent to see what's going on.

Lucas and I had talked about figuring out how to do some sort of collaborative project between OCR and Nintendo Force since my first remix was posted back in 2017, so I was thrilled when he called and pitched the idea for this album.

He was well into writing his book, The Impact of Iwata, about the life and contributions of Satoru Iwata to Nintendo and the video games industry as a whole. He had brought on several very talented artists to create illustrations for each chapter of the book. However, he also had plans for an audio book version and suggested that we create an album of ReMixes to serve the same role in the audio book as the illustrations in the print book. In addition to releasing the album for free on OCR, it would be included, in whole, with the audio book, and clips of each track would be used between chapters. I loved the idea. We pitched it to OCR staff and they were as enthusiastic about it as we were. So, we got started.

I put up a forum post to recruit, and to my surprise, all 16 tracks were claimed in less than a day! Our lineup of ReMixers is a who's who of great talent on OCR from established veterans to incredible newcomers. Each of them was very excited about the project and it shows in their ReMixes. I have no words to describe just how impressed I have been with the music on this album, so I will let it speak for itself. Suffice it to say, everyone brought their A-game to this project, and it is not only a worthy companion to Lucas's excellent book, but also a fantastic and fitting tribute to Satoru Iwata himself and the role he played in our lives.

We hope you enjoy the products of this unique partnership between OverClocked ReMix and Nintendo Force as we all celebrate the Impact of Iwata!
