Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez dig into the soundtracks for a couple of NES games. We go over Shatterhand, developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, and Shadow of the Ninja, which was developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani (notice the common item that got us here?). Both Iku Mizutani and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki have quite the catalogs, and you can bet we’re going to dig into those further down the road.
The shows Jason were thinking of in the second segment when referring to the suit for the Japanese version of Shatterhand were Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad and VR Troopers.
The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was composed by chibi-tech and our logo was designed by Melissa Diaz. Like what you hear?
