Pokey Means Business 8 bit

Don't click Show more until at least the one minute mark!

The final boss theme of Earthbound in 8-bit. For the first time on this channel, I've used a famicom expansion chip: the vrc7. The chip was only used for one game, Langrage Point (Japan Only), and provides a massive boost to the NES' sound capability with 6 FM synthesis channels. This typically creates a sound more akin to the genesis than to any 8-bit systems, but it is still technically 8-bit.

8bitDanooct1 actually posted a vrc6 version of this song a couple months back, you can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk9Bi7-ifxw.

Huge thanks to KuroBit (http://www.youtube.com/user/Kurofox4444); I had no idea how to make a good vrc7 instrument, so I used his grungy guitar as a base for the louder, more distorted guitar used in this song.

VRC7 is more useful than people think it is. This video proves it.

Saw an expansion chip coming, but I did NOT see VRC7 coming. Awesome work bro.

Haha, I was just kind of casually listening, thinking "hey this is pretty neat," and then 0:54 came along. Very nice work.
