Just days ago, Hiroshi Yamauchi, the man who saved console gaming with the NES and gave the now-legendary Shigeru Miyamoto his first chance at making a game, passed away at the age of 85. His death has been met with a universal display of reverence toward the man from all corners of the gaming community, for each of us knows that this man is the reason our passion persists to this day.

And now, former Nintendo composer and audio producer Hirokazu Tanaka, also known as ‘Chip’ or ‘Hip’ Tanaka, has created some beautifully somber remixes of two classic Nintendo tunes, the themes of Metroid and Super Mario, in honor of Yamauchi’s legacy.
