Wii Party was released by Nintendo in 2010 for the Wii console and built around Mii characters competing in more than eighty mini-games across board game and party modes. Its title music became closely associated with that social, living-room style of play. As Wii nostalgia grew online, short clips of the theme started appearing in gaming edits, memes and retrospective videos. The melody remains popular because it is instantly recognisable to players who grew up with the console, and its upbeat loop still signals casual multiplayer fun.
