Games highlighted in green are games with confirmed composition. Composition for these games have been confirmed by the composer, or have been directly verified through official sources, such as the game's credits or original soundtrack.

Games highlighted in yellow are games with ambiguous composition. These are games where the composer is confirmed to have worked on the game, but in an ambiguous role, such as being credited along with other people for "sound." The composer may have had a non-composition role in these games, such as creating sound effects.

Games highlighted in red are games with unconfirmed composition. These games have been compiled from unofficial sources of composition credits, such as GMCL, MobyGames, or emulated audio sites. While these sites are generally trustworthy, they may not necessarily describe the composer's true role in the game accurately. As such, the composer may not have actually composed any music for these games, or there maybe have been co-composers not mentioned here.

Uncolored games are those where the composer did not compose any music for the game, but did arrange music that appeared in the game.


Special thanks to Jeriaska and Robert Chrystian for confirming some of the details here through correspondence with Iwatsuki and allowing me to share the information.

YearGame
1991

Chaos World (カオスワールド) [NES]

details: composed two tracks; other music composed by Iku Mizutani (水谷 郁)

source:

What were the two songs you wrote for the Chaos World soundtrack?

HI: I wrote the song for the save file screen and also the village background music. It was early in my career, and I was short on experience, so I was learning as I went along.

Iku Mizutani, the composer on Chaos World, had worked for a different company previously [Konami] and had a lot of experience in the field. At the time, when he first joined Natsume, he was handling all the sound design by himself, but after I joined, he showed me the ropes. He taught me a lot.

Ninja Gaiden Shadow (忍者龍剣伝GB 摩天楼決戦) [GB]

details: Iwatsuki is solely credited for "sound" in the end credits. However, in correspondence with Jeriaska, he claims that Iku Mizutani (水谷 郁) also worked on the game. The only track Iwatsuki has admitted to composing is the ending theme. He says that Mizutani wrote the final boss theme, and it's likely that Mizutani wrote the rest of the original music for the game. The game additionally contains several music tracks adapted from Ninja Gaiden (忍者龍剣伝) for the NES, composed by Keiji Yamagishi (山岸 継司) as "More Yamasan" and Ryuichi Nitta (新田 竜一) as "B.B."
