What's the source of all this information? It needs citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.214.206 (talk) 03:12, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Metroid

It was this dislike that inspired him to compose the subdued themes of Metroid. In his words, he tried "to create the sound without any distinctions between music and sound effects." He composed the music so as to deny the player a simple melody to hum along with; only after completing the game is any "catchy" music played.

If so, he failed. Brinstar's theme is well known by any Metroid fan. What's the source for this statement? - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wish I knew. I wrote it, but it was early, early in my Wikipedia career, and well before citing sources became standard. It was likely a web interview with Tanaka. Does googling it -wikipedia yield any results? -- BrianSmithson 02:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fire Emblem

I'm sorry for the rush-in, but he's credited alongside yuka bamba for the music in the first Fire Emblem game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.1.202.236 (talk) 12:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music from Donkey Kong

Hirokazu Tanaka did not compose the music for Donkey Kong, but Shigeru Miyamoto did. Tanaka composed the sound effects for this game.--Andalbor (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

The birthday in the firts sentence differs from the birthday in the box.--80.149.113.234 (talk) 04:50, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
