Dale North posted this incredible story of how a NES Power Adapter saved the legendary performance by Nobuo Uematsu and Earthbound Papas at this year’s MAGFest.
During rehearsal, The Papas had found that they were missing the power adapter to a necessary instrument pedal. No stores in the area had what was required, but thanks to some MAGFest ingenuity and fancy wirework, a technician was able to modify a power supply from a Nintendo Entertainment System to power the composer’s instrument. How fitting :)
DJ El Nino and Noccturnal bring us classic hiphop from the Wu Tang Clan mashed up with the soundtrack to the original Castlevania games. While trolling DatPiff you can find a lot of flipped video game music, but it’s a rare treat to find a concept mixtape that goes as hard as this. Check it on DatPiff.

Sometimes I forget what got me into Chiptunes in the first place. Games like this. I owned Pictionary for NES, It comprised of a selection of mini games, much like the WarioWare series. I used to play with my little sister (and sometimes my parents). Games were simple, like catching mindless sprites falling out of a flaming building. Or jumping around from platform to platform, dodging a beachball on the moon. You know, stuff the whole family can enjoy. It also had chippin’ sweet music by Tim Follin.
EDIT: I couldn’t resist, I had to make a beat from one of the selections.
