I made it in Logic Express with its built in analog synth modeler ES1. I paid special consideration of the type of waveforms the NES produced and kept myself within that range of sounds.
For some drum sounds the NES used a primitive sampler, so I applied some lofi effects to get the bass drum sound.
I've heard of famitracker. I was looking into that or Nerd Tracker II. I was ready to get into tracking, but I find the tracking environment too restrictive to come up with musical ideas. I need a more graphical representation... so I decided to make an approximation in an environment I am comfortable in and understand.
I should look into or attempt to make a plugin to get those true to life NES sounds. I know my noise/snare drum sound is a tad off.
