Nintendo GameCube/Wii Soundbank

📌 Furthermore, among one of the primary .AW format aims the audio sample should be noted that is referenced by Nintendo Wii or GameCube video games. Precisely, the following .AW pattern includes in-game music, effects, and sounds. Most notably, the .AW format arrangement is employed by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, several projects of Mario Kart series, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 titles. The .AW specification serves as the essential proprietary tech methodology exploited by Nintendo to open up and store internal game audio and sounds. Although the format definition was mostly applied in GameCube franchises, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 projects released on Wii platform both also apply the .AW definitive soundbanks. Most of the ordinary players would never encounter the .AW pattern arrangement. Nevertheless, some diligent Nintendo enthusiasts manage to retrieve and decompress the .AW-embraced content from their Wii and GameCube consoles with the involvement of virtual emulators and used to create utilities that would allow them to play the audios the proper file includes.
