Akito Nakatsuka is a video game composer for games such as Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Ice Climber, Pilotwings 64 (along with Dan Hess) and the Japan-only Sutte Hakkun. He took the place of Koji Kondo (Nintendo's then-main music composer) for a short time until Kondo began making Nintendo's music again. Nintendo reused songs by him in one of the Nintendo Gamecube's bestseller games, Super Smash Bros. Melee. The song is called "Palace Theme" from Zelda II, but in SSBM, called "Temple Theme" from the Hyrule Temple Stage. The Ice Climber theme has also been used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
