Probably.  Definitely the same one who worked on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJ1jEvFu4I#t=9m03s THofD2] (b/c they're both AM1 made).  Guess he did get promoted to AM1 (3 years ['94-'97] isn't too big a gap, right? ^^;), but hey, what do I know?  I'm not even sure if he did the other stuff on [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,64150/ here] (from '93-'01, anyway).

As for red links, I've pretty much been spoiled by MobyGames (just look at what I did to the likes of ''[[Vectorman 2]]'', ''[[Streets of Rage 3]]'' and ''[[Sega Rally Championship]]''), so I'm just being lazy there since arcade game pages don't exist.  At the very least, the text exists to be searched for now.

Besides, I've run into my own dilemma in the arcade sector: Keisuke Tsukahara the cabinet designer vs. Keisuke Tsukahara the sound designer.  I'm just writing what was in the game to begin with and sticking to what I know for now: taking them down one at a time (game or person) with an occasional detour (Kunitake Aoki, Hiroaki Chino, etc.) and marking the few obvious ones (Hisao Oguchi, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Naoya Tsurumi, etc.).

*3DO: FreeDO
More likely now, actually. There is an "A.Watanabe" credited for design with Indy 500 (1995) and WaveRunner (1996), both times with top billing, just like with Motor Raid and THotD2. I think it's safe to say they're one in the same now. [[User:E-102|E-102]] 06:39, 22 April 2012 (CDT)
