Word up, comrades. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png) I'm not sure how many folks read the "Hudson GameBox (iOS) (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9015.msg196427#msg196427)" thread, so, here's the challenge...
Can you identify the chiptune? It's a damn catchy tune that sounds like it is ripped from an existing PCE/TG-16 game...but I (and many fellow pcefxers) can't figure out what title (if any) the song originates from. What are the chances that Hudson commissioned (created) a new chiptune for the GameBox emulator?

I have a hard time believing that Hudson would have taken the time to create a brand-new tune. Call me cynical.
GOOD LUCK!
Special Thanks! to farankoshan for providing the .mp3!

It sounds, to me, like something done by the Air Zonk/Coryoon/1943 soundtrack guy(s). I don't recall it being a part of any of those games, however, although I haven't ever completed 1943.

It actually sounds to me like a modern, original composition. Some parts are pastiches of Konami games, others Hudson games. But some of it is off-key, leading me to believe it was made by Japanese or European chiptune artists of this era. Not from the 80s / early '90s...
-
parts of that sound like Twinbee
but Twinbee for PCE was not as bright.
It's not Dragons Curse (from above posts). Dragons Curse uses chipdrums instead of sampledrums.

I have to agree here. It may be an original piece and not from a game at all. It's definitely a tune that gets stuck in your head. I was playing a little TG Gamebox yesterday while waiting to head into work and was repeatedly replaying that tune in my head the rest of the evening. :-"

And....I can't get the link to work no matter what I do :-k

Did you try farankoshan's link (http://www.filedropper.com/turbografx-16gameboxios-titletheme)? If that won't work either, send me your e-mail address and I can forward it that way.

It's working now, to my ears, it sounds like a mix between Coryoon & Soldier Blade... :-k

Initially, I thought this might be a new, original tune. Then I thought, "but what if this is the ending credits tune for a game I never beat?"
Your reasoning is sound. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
I just wish we could find out who composed it and how much creative control they had (i.e., was it commissioned as a pastiche?)
I rather like the song, despite any flaws. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)

It is a damn catchy tune. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Ain't it just the catchiest? Damn, if it is an original, I love how they captured the PC-Engine/Turbo chiptune sound. :)

Yes, I agree: I think they did a good job capturing the essence of classic PCE chiptunes.

What a great homage! WOW!
Thanks for sharing it. I can totally "see" all the references you all mention
