Happy video game piano medley day
Some days here at Joystiq, we just can't decide what we want. We'll feel like a little Mega Man, only to stop and go searching for Chrono Trigger, then Tetris, then Zelda, Final Fantasy, Mario ... nothing seems to satisfy.Luckily, we're always in the mood for the piano, and YouTube is happy to oblige our digital wanderlust with a variety of video game medleys on the ebony and ivory. Continue reading for some exquisite piano interpretations from the above series and more.
Previously: Happy Castlevania rock out day, Happy retro-techno music day, Happy Zelda music day... again, Happy Zelda music day

OK, dressing up like Squall is a little overkill.

Ah...I love the piano. Wish I knew how to play it!

If only I could somehow walk around with a piano all day playing the Tetris song...or maybe one of the Dr. Mario tunes. Hmmm, I'm going to look for some renditions of those songs...
*Side Note*
It's really nice to have school back in session. This place is a lot more civil without the kids.

Hmm...
Maybe I need to get a clip of me playing the Guru theme from Faxanadu & send it in.
I've been playing that since I was 14.
Still love that song & a lot of people have no idea where that comes from when I play it! :P

I've actually met Piano Squall at a few conventions. He's a pretty cool guy, and unlike some folks, isn't above talking to his fans. In fact, at a convention I was at this last weekend that he was doing a performance at, he found a piano in a corner and just started playing for the hell of it.
