Hudson Soft's Doraemon launched for the Nintendo Famicom console in December of 1986, achieving bestseller commercial success. Music for the 8-bit console game is by Bomberman series composer June Chikuma, debuting the same year as her score for Hudson's Adventure Island.
In addition to composing original music for three distinct worlds, along with boss battles and hidden worlds, Doraemon also evokes the popular television series music. The first stage theme "Tokai Tokai Planet" adapts Shunsuke Kikuchi's anime opening song "Doraemon no Uta."
Shogakukan in Japan published "8-bit Game Doraemon & Complete Strategy Guide 40th Anniversary Memorial Box," shipping from distributor Playasia. The limited edition commemorative box set includes a download code for Console Archives Doraemon and the Japanese-language instruction manual.
Hudson's PC Engine sequel Doraemon: Meikyū Daisakusen launched in 1989. Four excerpts from the soundtrack are streaming on the composer's SoundCloud channel.
