{{DEFAULTSORT:Nishimura, Tatsuya}}

'''Tatsuya Nishimura''' was a Japanese composer and sound creator. Barely anything is known about him besides the companies he worked for. His name first appeared in games developed by [[Tose]] near the end of their NES development, with his first known title being ''Bases Loaded 3''. He mainly composed for their NES and SNES games. Though he didn't work with them at the company, Nishimura was good friends with other TOSE composers [[Mitsuhiko Takano]] and [[Shinji Amagishi]]. Around 1992, he left TOSE to work for [[Capcom]] (though we have been told by Mitsuhiko Takano he left in 1993). During his time at Capcom, he primarily worked on the SNES, and provided the instrument samples for their sound driver. Around 1995, he joined [[Jaleco]] in-house as a composer (the ''Bases Loaded'' series were only published by Jaleco).
  
'''''Tatsuya Nishimura''''' was a Japanese composer and sound creator. Barely anything is known about him besides the companies he worked for. His name first appeared in games developed by [[Tose]]. Then he was later credited in games developed by [[Capcom]]. Because he worked for Tose, a company which didn't believe in giving credit to their staff members, any games that he composed for them that he was lucky enough to get credit in, he had to use an alias. Tatsuya was mainly credited for creating sound effects, but also wrote the soundtracks for some of the games he worked on. Because of his alias in Bases Loaded 3 and his quotation in Bases Loaded 4, it seems that his music was heavily influenced by funk and soul music, though his music shows elements of rock and roll as well.

In the Japanese version of ''Bases Loaded 3'', he is credited as '''God of Soul''', but the North American changes his name to '''Music Lover'''. This was most likely due to Nintendo of America's censorship for religious references. Though no TOSE staff have identified these aliases as Tatsuya's, he is credited by his first name in the Japanese version of ''Bases Loaded 4'', which shares the same exact soundtrack as Bases Loaded 3. In ''Bases Loaded 4'', he expresses his passion for funk music, which lines up with the God of Soul name.
