Yuzo Koshiro Really Likes Kid Icarus: Uprising's Multiplayer
Posted by James Newton
Killer beats
Legendary musician Yuzo Koshiro is best known for his soundtracks to The Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage and Sonic the Hedgehog on Master System, but he's also a killer at Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Uprising supremo Masahiro Sakurai spoke to Cubed3 and revealed the musical maestro's multiplayer habit:
Of course, the game is very addictive, even one of the musicians on the game, Yuzo Koshiro is really into Free-for-All and in the month after release racked up 5,000 kills.
You go, Koshiro.

Well that's fair enough.
It is sort of amazingly good fun, after all.

I love the music of this man! Sometimes I just have to listen to the soundtrack of Streets of Rage1 & 2 or Revenge of Shinobi! And don't even get me started on the music of bridge zone on master system's sonic! Pure gold!

There hasn't been a single volume of "Shiryu's Arcade" where I did not cover his work. But should really add "ActRaiser" up there as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoQUXBjSa3Q

It really is a great multiplayer system. I've been on multiplayer daily since its release. Good to hear kudos where it's deserved.

It´s too chaotic in a bad way. I really prefer SSB´s multiplayer a lot more.

His music is awesome. The Streets of Rage soundtrack never gets old. Best video game music out there IMO.

I love the chaos. There are many ways to make it work to your advantage. I haven't played this game in months but I played it religiously for several after its release.

been drinking some haterade again and doesn't recognize Koshiro's best work!
