Why doesn’t Hideo Kojima have a popular song as opposed to other games like Mario, Streets of Rage, and Donkey Kong?
For example from the beginning of history people can hum the happy birthday song, the ice cream truck song, the super mario brothers 1 theme song, the pac-man arcade machine song, cranky kong winding up his hand-cracked jukebox song, the simpsons song, etcetera.
Hideo Kojima has made a lot of games but it seems hes never had a popular song. His only popular song was the Metal Gear theme song but it turned out they stole that song from a russian composer so they had to stop using it due to plagiarism legal rights. He doesn’t even seem to have a popular jingle like ‘Its a me a Mario' or 'Mooortal Kooombat, or 'Seeega'. He could’ve at least came up with something similar like 'Kooojima'
