Wild Matsu | Nuclear Demon Fusion @WildMatsu | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
An 8-bit remix of "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion" from Touhou Chireiden: Subterranean Animism for the NES, with N163 expansion audio. Specifically, it is arranged in the style of "Explorer" from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II. This is authentic chiptune sequenced in FamiStudio.

The Utsuho sprite is taken from Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia by Potemki11. I adjusted the sprite to use the NES palette only (although I didn't observe any limitations regarding simultaneous color use.) Nuclear Fusion was composed by ZUN. Explorer was composed by Tsukasa Masuko.

Many people remarked on the similarity between these two songs for years, so again, this was begging to get made. Since no one stepped up to the plate to make this, I figured I ought to. It went up on SiivaGunner earlier this year, but again, Siiva's not searchable. I'm really proud of the key change right before the loop--it does the job of getting back to the original key while being as unobtrusive and calling as little attention to itself as possible. I also put a lot of effort into making the second N163 channel seamlessly transition between sounding like Explorer's ostinato and supplying Nuclear Fusion's countermelody during the first section.

If you're here, there's a good chance you're a fan of both Megami Tensei and Touhou, so you'll probably enjoy Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia, which can be purchased on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/2248430/Touhou_Artificial_Dream_in_Arcadia
