Dundeejam ha created a GameBoy Audio emulator. You can download Reason Patches and load em in to Reason (if you want you can use also the free demo version) to play with a virtual Game Boy sound chip! After, download Ableton Song Files  (Reason is controlled trough Ableton to create a song).
Damn great!!!
Sample Virtual chiptune tracks: Tune #1 - which is a live performance (not a recording) of the tune built to sound like a Game Boy.  Tune #2 - which is a live performance (not a recording) of the tune built to sound like a Game Boy Plus.

Yesterday I went to the press preview show organized by VORC RECORDS at the beautiful Synra Dome at Tokyo Space/Science Museum (Super Lisa Katayama posted about his Planetarium on io9. This dome has been created by two guys: Hikaru Okuda set up the hardware while Toshiyuki Takahei does all the software programming, including hooking the images up with complex calculations done by a giant supercomputer called the MDM, Molecular Dynamics Machine, which sits just outside the theater). The chiptune show is really outstanding and after you put on the 3D glasses you take a dive in a psychedelic retro futuristic 3D universe with simply the best chiptune/8bit soundtrack I ever heard in the last 10 years! Outani San, the mastermind of VORC Records, has really took the chiptune scene to the next level and BLIP FESTIVAL should really do something with him to make the US chiptune scene reach the SUBARASHII level of the Tokyo's VORC chiptuners!

If you are in Tokyo on 21th December  you can miss this show!

Our friends at Albotas have spotted this really cool plushie of Gomez: a character from Fez, a game made by the Kokoromi Collective which won the award for Excellence In Visual Art at this year Independent Games Festival. Fez's chiptune soundtrack has been composed by 6955: a Tokyo based Canadian who is working for a Japanese videogames company (he also collaborates to the The King of Games commercial fashion line)

Yujin has just announced a new Time Capsule gatcha gatcha series dedicated to the  chiptune legends YMCK. This cool 8bit toys will be released in February.

Gli amanti del chiptune, come la nostra amica Pcna (geniale musicista chiptune e graphic designer italiana), saranno felici di sapere che Alex Mauer ha appena rilasciato il suo nuovo album Vegavox. Quello che rende unica questa ultima fatica di Alex è il fatto che l'album è registrato su una cartuccia del NES. Questo è un video di presentazione dell'album.

Nella nostra ricerca degli idoli underground definitivi siamo inciampati negli Urbangarde: un gruppo giapponese di musica chiptune techno Pop... 
Nes 8bit + otaku toy rock ... un genere che utilizzerebbe Quentin Tarantino nei suoi film se avesse vent'anni in meno e fosse cresciuto nelle strade di akihabara con un pezzettino di carta amaro sulla lingua...
