OCReMix Helps Spread Holiday Cheer with Christmas Mario Kart Song

There’s nothing better on a cold winter’s day than to spend it huddled in your living room, wrapped in a warm blanket with a cup of hot chocolate, and listening to some of your favorite gaming tunes. Or at least that’s how gaming dorks like me spend the holidays (all alone…in a dark…cold…lonely room)  Fortunately, Larry Oji, Brian Arnold (Tweek),  and the team at OC ReMix are here with a fresh, Christmas-themed Mario Kart 64 track to help spread some holiday cheer.

The team at OC ReMix is best known for their work on the remixed soundtrack for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix which was recently released on Playstation Network and Xbox LIVE to a warm reception from critics and gamers alike. (IGN gave it a 8.7, and the game broke sales records with over 250,000 units sold)

“OC ReMix, creators of Capcom’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix official soundtrack, have put out this year’s Christmas OC ReMix, Tweek (Brian Arnold)’s Mario Kart 64 “Holiday Frappe”.

The ReMix is a jazzy arrangement of the “Frappe Snowland” theme, and features musical cameos from “Frosty the Snowman” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” Tweek also provided last year’s Christmas mix with the haunting Final Fantasy VII “Frozen Landscape” from our huge Final Fantasy VII album Voices of the Lifestream.

Whether Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus is your speed, have a Happy Holidays, everyone, from us at OCR! Follow us on Twitter and give us a holler!”

I just downloaded the song and it’s  pretty awesome. If you’re a fan of Mario Kart 64 you’ll definitely appreciate the innovative and fresh take on a familiar, old-school classic, but it is still definitely a must download  for casual  fans who are merely looking for some catchy music to listen to during their late night gaming sessions.

I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
