      The custom font in Joust for the NES bugs me so much I'm changing it back to the arcade font. #ocd #whiteandnerdy

      @MNeko The Famicom version looks more like the arcade. They felt the need to "enhance" the graphics on the NES version...

      @gdri Also, you got any idea what the deal is with the title screen music? I could swear I've heard it in other NES games.

      @MNeko All three HAL ports use it. Defender II has Punch-Out music. Someone from N might've worked on it, don't think that's been confirmed.

      @MNeko Or maybe Nintendo did those games themselves. Doesn't seem likely. http://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167944-Defender-2-%28NES%29-and-Punch-Out!&p=1968265&viewfull=1#post1968265 …

      @gdri I keep wondering if Satoru Iwata had anything to do with them. He did program NES Balloon Fight, yes?

      @gdri Yep, it does mention him as being part of the Joust team, but it doesn't say what he did there. Thanks btw!

      @MNeko I suppose some of that list came from here (article/interview from 1999): https://twitter.com/GAMESIDE/status/620850001334267904 …

          @MNeko Yes. He and Satoshi Matsuoka (who programmed MSX Rollerball) programmed it.
