Game Duels Volume 1: A Video Game Mashup EP / Game Duels Volume 1: A Video Game Mashup EP / Game Duels Volume 1: A Video Game Mashup EP

Inspired by Nitro Game Injection's Versus Month, GAME DUELS is a unique concept pitting three iconic characters (Cowboy, Ninja and Warrior) against each other in a VGM battle-royale. Each musician chooses two of the three protagonists (or themes), and proceed to create an arrangement mashing up two or more songs from games that fit their selected themes. The result is an EP album spanning all generations of game systems, from the C64 and the NES all the way to the XB360 and PS3. Let the duels begin!
