    "notes": "Digital version released April 13, 2017 for 12.00 USD\n\"Ninja Gaiden, of the most iconic and beloved 2D action game series ever created, was first released in the arcades in 1988, while making its console debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) later in the same year. At the time of the console release, Ninja Gaiden was renowned not only for its deep storytelling beautifully visualized by TECMO’s unique “cinema scenes,” but also through its legendary chiptune soundtrack, whose unique rock-’n’-roll sound and drum beat instantly became a formative musical experience for players who were only just getting into video games.\nNinja Gaiden: The Definitive Soundtrack is divided into volumes. The follow-up, Ninja Gaiden Vol. 2, features the music of both Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom. These legendary soundtracks have been digitally restored under the supervision of Ryuichi Nitta and Kaori Nakabai, two of the original composers. The booklet includes a comprehensive roundtable discussion among several members of the original development team, including the director, producers, artist and composers; an essay by game historian Ray Barnholt; and original archival artworks.\"\n---\nNINJA GAIDEN SERIES MUSIC COMPOSITION AND ARRANGEMENT\nNINJA GAIDEN ORIGINAL STAFF (TECMO LTD.)\nKeiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden III)\nRyuichi Nitta (Ninja Gaiden II)\nMayuko Okamura (Ninja Gaiden II)\nKaori Nakabai (Ninja Gaiden III)\nRika Shigeno (Ninja Gaiden III)\nNINJA GAIDEN SERIES DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION\nNINJA GAIDEN NES VERSION ORIGINAL STAFF\nHideo Yoshizawa (Producer and Director)\nMasato Kato (Graphic Design, Art Director, Game Stage Director)\nTakashi Yamashita (Cinema Display Programmer)\nALBUM PLANNING/DESIGN/COMPOSITION/EDITING\nBRAVE WAVE PRODUCTIONS\nKeiji Yamagishi (Executive Producer)\nMohammed Taher (Creative Director)\nLauren Guardia-Lucas (Assistant Director, Editor)\nMarco Guardia (NES: Recording, Restoration, Mastering; Arcade: Mixing, Restoration)\nHaruhisa \"hally\" Tanaka (Recording Engineer for Arcade)\nDan Suter (Mastering Engineer)\nAlexander Aniel (Project Manager)\nRay Barnholt (Essayist)\nBen Sifel (Designer)\nCory Schmitz (Generation Series Designer)\nDaniel Tang (Composer Photography)\nSPECIAL THANKS\nKOEI TECMO GAMES ALL STAFF\nYosuke Hayashi (Team NINJA Producer)\nKoji Harao (Executive Producer)\nRira Oi (IP Promotion and Management)\nNINJA GAIDEN and NINJA RYUKENDEN are trademarks of Koei Tecmo Games. ⓒKOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD.
