One of the more notable achievements of Uemura was his design of the modified 6502 chip, in partnership with Ricoh, which became the integrated 2a03 chip, the sound generator and CPU for the NES. Uemura, while at Nintendo, would later work on NES ports of Ice Climber, Baseball, Soccer, and Clu Clu Land. Uemura would later work with Ken Kutaragi to develop the Super Famicom in 1988.
