Hidenori Maezawa hears vertexguy play Contra Jungle Jam

This is an excerpt from 1Up's interview with Hidenori Maezawa, one of the composers of the amazing NES soundtrack to Contra. Towards the end of the video, they play the Contra Jungle Jam for him and talk about the remix. It's an amazing honor for me to see the composers reaction to my work. Many thanks to Jeremy Parish for doing such a fantastic interview! For the complete interview, check out http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172388

Not only did you get such a praise from the original composer, you got your name Engrish'd:

CHURISUH CURAIYNE!

[tbone2004]

You know, why wasn't Vertexguy's version used in Contra 4? That would've made Stage 1 epic!

[DamienThornes]

Holy shit, why wouldn't he listen to his own work in a whole 20 years span?

OH MY GOD! NOSTALGIA!

pretty girl :)

[mentalparasite666]

what did he originally compose all the music on? Guitar?

[Cryforequanimity]

Man! What a feeling that must have been for Chris Kline. To hear they guy who you're making a tribute for, hear your cover and say 'That's what I had in my mind', while he was creating the original. Wow.

[Deathclok]

I'm sure Hidenori is really glad to hear someone one up his work.
