OSV’s good friend Hally just let us know that at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2009, a new Mega Man arrange album will be released, Chip Tuned Rockman! Newly arranged chiptune versions from all your favorite Mega Man games, and as if that alone isn’t good enough, look at the line up:
Chibi-Tech
Jake Kaufman [Virt]
Goto80
Ippo Yamada

K->
Manabu Namiki
Saitone
hally
Zinger
Saskrotch
Ryo Kawakami
Nobuyuki Shioda
KPLECRAFT
Dong
USK
naruto
Manami Matsumae
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?

Awesome. But, chip tune remixes of chip tunes? Interesting. Also awesome that Jake is getting out there again with Japanese composers!
Awesome indeed. I’ll be grabbing one of these for sure. If the chip remixes are beefed up like other albums, such as Hudson Premium Audio Collection, then we could be in for a real treat.
Whoa! Eastern and western composers on same CD?! What could I ask for more. I’m pre-ordering this. Go Rushjet1!
I’ll get this for Dong alone. Quite an amazing artist that man.
I’m interested in hearing Zinger’s track, myself.
Just got a chance to look at the tracklist and saw a miss Manami Matsumae was doing the remake of my favorite track. Sadly I’ve never heard of any of her work before. Is she someone I should look forward to hearing, or should I not get my hopes up?
Matsumae was one of the co-composers for the soundtrack to Rockman and Rockman 2.
Any Download ?!
