♫END OF THE DARK (Policenauts) SNES Arrangement - NintendoComplete
This is my arrangement of the intro theme from Konami's Policenauts for native SNES playback.
The audio was recorded directly from a launch-model SNES deck.
I know that it's not quite Christmas-themed, but the intro to Policenauts always reminded me of Christmas with the snow and the way the 'doo doo doo' sounds.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doot-Doot
I mean, doesn't it remind you of the holidays? Even if not, you probably recognize it from the opening of Metal Gear Solid. Kojima certainly likes his staple elements, doesn't he?
If not, let me remind you-

Anyways, I wanted to do something somewhat holiday themed for a music upload for today, so this is what I came up with. That drum part... was quite tricky to get down. I never realized just how many percussive instruments were used in this track until I set about recreating it!
And I think I found a new personal favorite sample while making this - I used one of the lead synths from Final Fight's sample bank here, and it amazed me how well it meshed. Whoda thunk it? :)
Merry Christmas, everyone!
