kokapi’s adventure was suddenly inspired by playing pokémon again with my kid, c, and thinking about the spirit of old japanese retro console games! yeah, it's not chiptune or based on the original sound sources of famicom (nes) games, but let's just imagine it had a special disk system-enhanced mode, mushy audio(?!), just for this title in an alternate timeline!
