A Dolphin's Song?

Listen to what could be the first in-level music for a Dolphin game

Nintendo 64 owners have come to expect a certain type of sound quality in their games. It's not quite as crisp and clear as the CD-based PlayStation software that it competes with, but the release of Nintendo's next-generation console, codenamed Dolphin, means fans will no longer have to settle for second best. The super powerful gaming machine will feature a whole new level of sound technology pioneered by software house Factor 5 (the same company that created Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for N64). And Dolphin, we assure you, will deliver an incredible listening experience.

We now have what we believe is the first in-game music for a Dolphin game, and it comes to us straight from Factor 5. The game is Thornado, a 3D action-shooter that's still being developed secretly by Factor 5, and the song sample is taken from the first level of the future title. While the company aren't willing to offer official confirmation on what system Thornado is coming to, we know that it's not being made for Nintendo 64. Listen to the music provided and we think you'll agree that this is next-generation material.
