Daisuke Shiiba is a Japanese video game composer who worked for Nintendo SPD between 2005 and 2013, in games like English Training and Tomodachi Collection.

History[]

Before joining the company, Shiiba composed some of the default MIDI music for ASCII's RPG Maker 2003 game creation engine.

In 2005, he joined Nintendo SPD, where he was put in charge of composing for various projects. One of those was the WiiWare title MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade where he not only did the soundtrack (along with Johan Krafft from Logic Bomb), but also the sound effects. Micky G. Albert, the president of Mindware Corporation and developer of the game, explained that they gave the composer many suggestions to improve the soundtrack, and that he did very well. His first song for the game was Bar None. Not only did he create many of the songs, though he also redid each one when the player downloaded the games onto their Nintendo DS to make it have a sort of retro feel to it.

Some of Shiiba's other work for Nintendo includes soundtrack contributions to titles such us English Training, Fossil Fighters, and Swapnote.

In 2013, Shiiba left Nintendo and became a freelance composer. Since then he has composed music for some PC games like Principia Perfectus, as well as some entries on the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection, among other projects.
