Smash Bros. Brawl Music, Composers Detailed

Via Joystiq, a link to the official Smash Bros. Brawl website, the 'Smash Bros. Dojo'. Currently being used by game director Masahiro Sakurai as a blog, the content has been a bit tame so far. Just the same, things are looking up. He's just posted a detailed list of the game's composers, and a sample of some music from the game. The list reads like a who's who of Japanese game music, with everyone from Akihiro Honda (Metal Gear Series) and Toru Minegishi (Twilight Princess) to Koji Kondo (creator of the Mario and Zelda themes) himself.

This is certainly not stuff that matters, it doesn't seem to be news for nerds, this needs to be tagged:

"News for people considered to be Nerds by even the Nerds who read Slashdot"

If the game had gone gold, that's possibly worthy of being called news.
If the game music was composed by someone unexpected instead of say, stock Nintendo game music composers, that would be news (It would have to be someone really crazy, like Steve Ballmer's "Chair Throwing Party Theme", or Richard Stallman's "You can play this music any time you want but you have to hand out the sheet music that goes along with it" song.)
If the game music composition software was thrown out and replaced by open source software that only runs on a ubuntu/suse/mac/OLPC then it would be news.
If the RIAA sued everyone who listened to the music because they "pwnz0rz a11 muziks are bel0ng to them" in traditional RIAA fashion, it would be news.
If the music made the musicians in soviet russia, it would be news.

But "Nintendo game music being made by Nintendo game musicians" is even less newsworthy than my trip to the office this morning, and you don't see me submitting that to /. every morning.
