My interest is got! Nobuyuki Shioda a crazy muhfucka <3 and even if Tappy kinda stole MGS theme he the fookin tits too!

btw I totally already consider some stuff to be fully-fledged chiptune albums on cart with free bonus games inside :3 Much like Tatsujin Ou's st1 BGM, you might say I LIVE IN FUTURE

[Turrican]

Ahh, Verytex... good call. Did it come with a sound test? I forgot

and even if Tappy kinda stole MGS theme he the fookin tits too!

Well, Keino-san might have something to say to Bach for Xevious, too...

Me neither, I've not played it in like two years. It's easy enough that you can devote 90% brain runtime to the choons anyway.

I had rancor pre-order me a copy back in December when this was announced. Should be getting the cart this week, hopefully.

For the first time in over two decades, Nintendo's flagship console, the legendary Famicom, will be getting an exclusive mixtape of music penned and programmed by top tier musicians

I wanna know what mixtape in the form of a cartridge was released 20+ years ago...

BIL, that's not Tappi Iwase on there. The person who submitted the album to vgmdb was obviously mistaken.

I had not even heard about this. There are copies available on Amazon and EBay and I managed to buy a copy.

Thanks for the notice.

You sound like me. I worship RECCA.

Unfortunately I don't have a Famicom original, but I will pay for one someday.

The game just blows my mind from basically every aspect and the music is no exception.

Aw crumbs Thanks - out of interest, might it be the same Tappy you mentioned in this thread a while back? That'd actually be even cooler, haha. Seems to be a fairly common Japanese VGM sobriquet otherwise!

Same as me; I have a a repro that Battlesmurf made a few years ago and the Superplay Book and DVD but yes, I want that game - one day she shall be mine

Cool stuff. While listening, you can mute any of the Pulse ch1, Pulse ch2, Triangle, Noise and DeltaPCM channels at will. Should be interesting to some. There are also two simple minigames with several difficulties for each. In one you try to collect coins, in the other you dodge stars. The latter could be a fun little diversion for shmupper-types.

Each track has some accompanying images and/or animation to them, and out of the songs themselves I'm liking Circus Game and Oriental Mystique the most so far. But I don't think any of them are as good as the greatest Famicom/NES music we're already familiar with, like tunes from Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man or any of Tim Follin's works.

Yes, that is him.

It looks very nice. I am expecting mine to arrive next week.
