Time to bump this thread!
After playing Ace Attorney Trilogy, I definitively appreciate its soundtrack and there definitively can be more ports from it. Remember: It might be a Visual Novel / Adventure series and most songs are for cutscenes but some of them can be used indeed for levels (overworld, not-really-levels and misc songs still exist). There also is the fact that some ports definitively can get an update.
Specific from the trilogy (haven't played the other games), I can see a port of Investigations ~ Core 2001, Cross Examination ~ Allegro 2002 and Investigation ~ Middle Stage 2004.
Xenoblade, come one, where are all the Xenoblade songs? Be it the first game, X or 2, We Will Know Our Names is the only song from the series we have in the sections.

Yeah, I still wanted to try and make some AA ports at some point myself, mainly these right here, and I've also been thinking about porting these two songs from Apollo Justice for quite a while now lmao; maybe at some point I'll finally port Gyakuten Kenji 2's Pursuit theme as well, who knows... just gotta find the time for it I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And with Xenoblade I've been thinking of porting the music from it for pretty much forever now, especially Mechonis Field from the first game, but fuck me man, that song is too hard for me to pull off, especially since there's no MIDI of it to speak of (also probably why there isn't many Xenoblade ports btw, there's very few MIDIs of it and most of them suck ass lmao); so yeah, sadly I'll have to wait on that one for now

I'll second that the Ys series's music is criminally underrated and should see more porting because while it's an RPG series, the style of music actually suits platformers with its intensity.
God, I've been thinking of porting Overdrive from Ys II (specifically based around that version btw) for so long rn, you have no idea LMAO; I've been waiting for the perfect time to do it tho, but I'll have to do it at some point, especially since there's a DS port of that game (Legacy of Ys) that I can easily rip MIDIs from, so I literally have no excuse haha
