Shatterhand is one of the most kick-arse games on the NES library! It's got parallax scrolling on a system with a single BG layer, sprites which use more than a single palette, which leads to more colourful characters, and it's got an equally kick-arse soundtrack to boot!

Last time I did a NES to SNES cover (which featured another kick-arse platform game where you get to punch a load of blokes until they explode) I got criticised for not doing more than a simple instrument replacement, and you know what? They were right! I should have taken a bit more advantage of what the SNES can do, and a few more liberties with the composition, so this time I took it to heart and tried adding in a little extra flair of my own, which I often do in my PCE covers (at least when I'm covering something with less channels than what the PCE has to offer)

The samples used in this cover were mostly taken from Spriggan Powered, although I also used a lot of percussion samples from Ninja Warriors, I thought they would fit it pretty well after giving the soundtrack another listen recently... I'll let you tell me if they do!

I hope you enjoy what you hear ^^
