In this context, Misryoum sees the album as a continuation of a wider trend: video game music has steadily moved from niche fandom to mainstream collectible culture, where vinyl, artwork, and curation matter as much as the tracks themselves.
The Joystick Jazz line includes multiple releases beyond Persona.. Misryoum notes that earlier volumes have focused on jazzified selections from games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Grim Fandango. as well as titles including Kingdom Hearts 3.. The series also includes a Mario-focused entry. plus an EP called The Bonus Level that features four songs spanning Pokémon. Final Fantasy. Sonic the Hedgehog. and DuckTales.
