Nintendo songs removed from GH: World Tour store

We hope you already managed to download your favorite Nintendo songs from the Guitar Hero: World Tour music sharing service, as MTV reports that they are being removed. Multiplayer guesses (as do we) that recreations of popular Nintendo themes from games like Zelda and Super Mario Bros are being removed for copyright violation. Of course, there are still plenty of other game tunes out there, including songs from Doom, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Bubble Bobble (does that one just loop forever?). You can even still download Portal's now famous "Still Alive," though multiplayer notes that it suffers from the lack of lyrics. Of course, you can always get your "Still Alive" fix on Rock Band, so it's all good.

If you've already downloaded any of these songs, fear not: Activision can't remove them from your hard drive. Just make sure you think about it before deleting one. Also, you should check out this Brinstar track from Metroid. It's sweet. That is all.

The song creator on GHWT is very weak. It reminds me of the cheap plastic keyboards you can buy for a 4 year old.

Well the Metroid song kicked ass, so it can't be that bad.

Hmm, I wonder if it'd be relatively easy to share chords/"sheet music" of sorts for this game...Maybe post up screenshots so others can create the same copywritten tune?
