BGMania B-Sides #26 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth shines the spotlight on the whimsical and unforgettable soundtrack of Little Nemo: The Dream Master for the NES! Released by Capcom in 1990 and based on the cult-classic animated film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, this imaginative platformer features a stunning score by composer Junko Tamiya—one that’s enchanted gamers for over three decades.

From the playful energy of early stages to the more atmospheric and intense later themes, this episode explores how the soundtrack mirrors Nemo’s transformation from a sleepy kid into a brave hero exploring surreal dreamscapes. Whether you're a longtime fan of the game or discovering it for the first time, this B-Side is a nostalgic and musical deep dive into one of the NES era’s most overlooked audio gems.
