Can’t get more epic than that. The inclusion of naruto especially excites me! naruto for those who do not know is one of the best NES\Famicom chiptune artists out there, from Japan. He is heavily influenced by Virt, so it’ll be interesting seeing how they differ on the same cd. The tracklist will span across the entire classic series, and the album will be available at October 15! Included will be a comic by Hitoshi Ariga. You can listen to a sample track at Inti Creates’s website.
Are you excited for this album? What other games should get a chiptune treatment?
