Sunsoft's wonderful team of NES composers
I was thinking about how pleasing to the ear and ahead of the times the music in Batman and Journey to Silius is, and I noticed that Nobuyuki Hara and Naomi Kodaka worked on both games. This got me researching what else they did, and I found out that they worked on a lot of SunSoft's NES titles (Kodaka moreso than Hara). Thanks to this list, I found out about which particular titles they composed for, as well as some other composers who worked for SunSoft.
These guys really knew how to use the NES' sound capabilities to their limits. Here's a list of Sunsoft titles and their composers (going by the NES Music Authors List): Batman: Kodaka, Nobuyuki Blaster Master: Kodaka, Marumo Journey to Silius: Kodaka, Nobuyuki, Marumo, About SS, MaboChan Gremlins 2: Kodaka, Nobuyuki, About SS Super Spy Hunter: Kodaka, Nobuyuki, Seya Hebereke (JP)/Euforia (EU): Kodaka, Nobuyuki, About SS Nantettatte Baseball (JP): Shanghai (JP): Kodaka, Marumo If anyone knows of more games these composers worked on, please let me know. I'll be looking for more credits info and hopefully adding to this list. Now I'm off to track down and listen to .nsfs for some of the more obscure titles on this list and then convert the good stuff (hopefully all of it!) to .mp3s. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!
Latest music rips (updated January 10, 2012): SimCity DS - Jazz/ambient/electronic music including interesting reworkings of songs from the fantastic SimCity 3000 soundtrack Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels? Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more

Journey to Silius wasn't much of a game but I remember that it had some fine music in it (especially for the NES). Same with Blaster Music (which was ahead of its time, both game and music).
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm only familiar with Batman, Blaster Master, and Journey to Silius (sup BSC 2006), but they have great music. I'll have to check out the rest of the stuff.

I remember playing Gremlins 2 a *long* time ago and liking it. Tough game but I don't recall the music.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Note that for example Journey to Silius used another Soundchip than the standart 2A03. So of course it sound better
Some more credits: Kodaka (Naomi Kodaka) SFC Albert Odyssey SFC Albert Odyssey 2 SS LEGEND OF EL DEAN MD Super Fantasy Zone MD/GB Batman SFC Sugoi Hebereke About SS / Seya (Shinichi Seya) MD Batman (Soundprogram) GB Tripworld (Soundprogram) AC Beirut AC Tafutafu MD Super Fantasy Zone GB Bomber King Scenario 2 (Soundprogram) GB Batman MD TEL・TEL Stadium for the others i did not find out the real names :/ which i need to investigate. Maybe i'm more lucky when i'm at home What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I also like the Sunsoft's Sound Team a lot, especially for the NES years. They were able to put out nice compositions with an heavy/rich sound like few were able to achieve. Overall, I prefer Konami, but Sunsoft isn't too far behind.
I know about two other titles they worked on: "Batman: Return of the Joker" [NES] (N. Kodaka, Nobuyuki Hara, About .S.S.) "Blaster Master: Blasting Again" [PSX] (Naoki Kodaka) FELIPE NO |
