Wub Club - Dubstep on the NES
104Yeah, this video is long overdue...
Dubstep on Nintendo... It's hard to imagine. The intense, gritty sound we all know of just seems too much for the ol' 8-bit machine. The audio limitations just don't seem enough to be able to produce such a sound with exceptional technical quality. We all know the NES for our favorite soundtracks from people and companies like Capcom, Konami, the Follin Bros., Koji Kondo, Hip Tanaka and many others...
...But one person came around to prove that wrong, and that person was chibi-tech. Many chiptune enthusiasts, such as myself, have heard the famous song that proved professional level dubstep was possible to create on the NES: Moe Moe Kyunstep. After hearing that song, what I thought wasn't possible to make on NES had been totally defied. I got to experimenting right away. Through my efforts, creating dubstep on NES began to make more sense, and it eventually lead me to creating one of my greatest works: Wub Club.
About the song itself, at the time I made this, I was still quite the Tim Follin fanatic. I figured, "hey, since I like dubstep and Tim Follin music so much, why not just combine the two?" I think both styles go together pretty well, honestly. The inspiration that went into this came from many things, mostly other dubstep songs, Tim Follin's music, and Moe Moe Kyunstep.
