Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

The One Fish soundtrack captures the breezy charm of the Wii era

The One Fish soundtrack condenses the playful essence of classic Wii Music into a brisk album packed with nostalgia.


I couldn't have put it better myself: the score for the co-op fishing game The One Fish is inspired “by the sounds of a simpler era in gaming,” writes American composer Garrett Williamson on the album's Bandcamp page. It's hard to be any more accurate, as the OST condenses, across a brisk half-hour, the very essence of what one might call "Wii Music."

Sitting halfway between quirky '80s pop and vintage American mall muzak, the soundtrack to The One Fish only disappoints on a single front: track lengths—rare are the cuts that stretch past the two-minute mark. Anyhoo, consider this particular fish hooked.
