If the soothing soundtracks of Kid Icarus or the original Metroid still bring a smile to your face, and you would like to keep hearing more 8-bit melodies, this is the gift for you. The catch is, you have to own a Nintendo Entertainment System. An electronic recording artist (is that even a job?) named Animalstyle is releasing an NES cartridge full of brand-new, original “chiptunes” using the systems often imitated, never duplicated sound board.
