You just needed to label the level/titles of the song tracks on these threads, the only thing I would've adjust with the full music track, was applying the bgm first, and put the sad ending, just before good ending, at the very last, on the play track ✊
It's because they ruined gamemusic, same as they ruined modern music, too many effects, musician just copy paste all quick, old gamemusic was golden times of gamemusic. I have remixed few.
The music went absolutely perfect with the game and added much to the experience. I used to go to the option screen just to listen to the tracks when I was a kid.
When I was 7 years old I used to play this at my neighbours house and the soundtrack was always hype. One day for no reason (maybe because I was a bigger child, and he wanted to prove himself?) he decided to attack me and kicked the shit out my legs to the point that they were bruised for days after despite me being like wtf dude? So when we moved away at the end of the year I climbed over the fence like a Shinobi and stole Revenge of Shinobi as my revenge. It brought me great pleasure to play it at my older cousin's house and for him to be like WHOA where did you get this new game from? Anyway, random childhood anecdote. Not condoning stealing.
Do yourself a favor, if you want to know what it was like when the Genesis came out go listen to a hour of nintendo music and comeback here. This soundtrack BLEW - OUR - MINDS.
@@heilong79 Well, if you heard Turbo Outrun and Last Ninja 2, for instance, you'd find that the Sid chip was far more sophisticated than what the NES could pull off. Not to say the NES was horrible, plenty of memorable tunes there as well...
wooowwwwww....The Theme My Lover literally makes me cry...damn song is so powerful and emotional..i have tears dripping down my face.Yuzo really put his heart and soul into this soundtrack.he was really untouchable back in the late 80s.
This game will always be one of my favorites! I played it to death as a kid. Ohh man, every new stage I made it too was like learning how to play all over again. Super hard game. Many, many deaths. I remember after some serious practice, I used to be able to consistently make it though to the _(second)_ last level, the one on the docks where you had to jump from platform to platform, and then came that freaking jump!! The jump was just a sliiight bit further than a regular jump, but, it felt like if you didn't get the jump frame perfect, you'd miss. Oh my god. I remember time after time wasting ALL of my lives just there on that part. I was furious. I ended up beating the game by using super jump over that jump. I just had to, it was the only 100% way to guarantee I wouldn't fail the damn thing and game over there... The rest of the game after that, even the bosses that follow, were pretty easy in comparison. X_X The end game boss for me was truly that freaking jump!! Best game. 10/10
Daniel Feneck I think if I remember correctly I do a tried & true method that always works in games concerning jump(s) like what you describe. This goes for any game- Method: as you approach the area to jump walk over the edge until you are about one foot length(one foot is about over the edge while you are still on the ledge) then at that moment while still moving forward immediately press jump, then when the first jump about reaches it's maximum distance & height press jump again to double jump,timing is key. If done correctly you should successfully perform the jump with space left over when your character lands, you can do this without using any special power concerning the game the revenge of shinobi.
Koshiro is a damn genius. Back when I was a kid playing this I never knew it was him that did this soundtrack, even though I loved the Streets of Rage soundtrack but never made the connection.
ALL HAIL YUZO KOSHIRO! It's amazing thinking back to way earlier in my childhood growing up with his soundtracks on the Genesis through this game and the "Streets of Rage" series all those years ago, and then playing games like "Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin", "Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl" and "Super Smash Bros. for 3DS" and hearing his new compositions all these years later.
Yeah, Sunrise Boulevard and Ninja Step are both incredible -- and Ninja Step blatantly steals the beat from Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby" -- though it's only fair since Vanilla Ice stole the beat from Queen's "Under Pressure" for the same track :D
Thank you for the upload, god damn, what a beautiful era we live in when I can just google for something so specific like music for a really old game I've played when I was a kid, and listen to it's soundtracks! PS. Dat last level (the maze) was so damn hard, but after many playthoughts I actually knew it by heart. Finished this game many times, that final boss was hard man, but beating it was such a glorious feeling!
Its a shame its not a beautiful enough era in that we dont get games like this anymore, that give us this kind of feel and have a unique creativity to them.
+Raiken Xion Something has been definitely lost since a few years in the videogame industry. Now I find myself playing more old school games from eras I didn't even live than current gen ones. My PS4 is literally getting dust right now because of how hardly often I use it.
@@RaikenXion I disagree, today we still have great games that are just as good as the classics, even games that emulate the same type of gameplay of that era, and those games will be classics for the next generations just like the 16bit era games are to oldschool gamers.
@@rickydo6572 Well i disagree with you here, it's kinda gone the opposite to how it used to be, in the past games didn't have really great graphics, but they had bags of creativity and the devs back then really used their imagination to work with what little they had interms of power capability and graphical quality. Now today it's mostly completely the other way around where all games today look amazing interms of graphical quality, but many-most especially the really big, open-world games come out and either feel rushed, or just unfinished, with loads of bugs or somekind of issues; almost feeling like they were left deliberately in that state, because the developer intends to actually use the "customer/gamer" as a kind of games tester, and they practically spoon-feed us the rest of the unfinished game back, in the form of DLC and updates. I'm not saying ALL games today are like this but most are, and it's very different today to how it used to be back in the 80s, and 90s, because "Corporations" have muscled in on all the beloved gaming franchise now. And even many of the big developers and producers that were creative and have given us great games in these modern times, have mostly become so successful that even thy have become saturated, and have turned greedy like the corporations. Bioware, Activision, Bethesda e.g. I used to love and trust those companies but not so much now.
ThIs soundtrack is incredible which is made up of synthesized Japanese rock and pop scores. They really do a great job capturing the slow paced mood for those patient stages, and the high tempo for the faster paced ones. This game features some of the most memorable BGM's I can think of. Sound effects aren't too shabby either, with a "ching" sound when shurikens hit other metal objects, and the sound of crackling electricity when the shield is taking damage.
Greatness. I was still playing this game in 2000. I'd bet I could still beat it. Despite having not played it since, I remember every track here (even some of the titles). Yet I can't remember my password at work that I just made last week...
One Day I was walking through the Mall with my Family and then saw this Game in the Window of a Gamestore. I annoyed my Dad so much that he finally said "Okay, we'll buy it". XD Then I got Home, put this Game in my Genesis and this 22:01 starts playing. I was hooked before I even hit the start Button, and no matter how many times I died I wouldn't stop playing...good Times...:D
Never beat this, the final boss always got me, remember leaving my megadrive on when i went to school and coming back, getting to the final boss and your heart felt like it would explode out your chest any second,
you have to stay as close to him as possible when he does the hair throwing attack and then jump directly upwards, he cant hit you at such a steep angle.
There is also a power-up hidden up against the wall in the stage before you enter the boss room, if you save your ninjutsu, the shield also comes in handy. Go, man! Save Naoko!
1990/1991 was the year I first played this. I remember my sister getting it for me for 20 dollars used from a game store and I played the ever living shit out of it. I could never pass the final area where you had to go through many corridors and secret paths to get to the final boss. I think my cart had Rambo, Spiderman, Godzilla... I think it was version 1.0 or something.
hell yes i love this game, magic soundtrack. love shinobi still have the game and still play it to this day. always loved the music to this. and a classic genesis game.
1:52 used to give me nightmares when I was younger, that combined with the Samurai boss. Not sure why, it was just so freaky! Absolutely love it now though! Great memories!
Shinobi Legions is so goddamn amazing, it beats revenge at every possible level, except maybe for the soundtrack, even if richard jacques' music is great.
@@jpetersongaming coming back here after 7 years thinking of buying Streets of Rage 4.... For my phone. Lol Worried it won't live up to the epicness of the Sega. Enjoy your Genesis friend.
If there's one thing I can't forgive my parents for, it's when they forced me to sell my Sega Genesis with 30+ classic games for $25 to my drunk uncle who (probably) sold it all for cheap to feed his addiction. That was 20 years ago and it still haunts me to think about it. Luckily we at least have some of the greatest OSTs to enjoy here on YT 🤟🏻
Absolutely unforgettable soundtrack, imho the best game on the system and probably one of the best platformers and soundtracks of all time, big ups Yuzo Koshiro
I love me some SNES but Genesis was fkin bad ass man, and Shinobi is just one example why. I'm still stuck in the 8/16 bit era. NES, SNES, GENESIS, SEGA CD, TG16 SUPER CD...that's all my shit. 12:35 waterfallz
Couldn't pass through level 2 of this game as a kid. I didn't even figure out the double jump back in the days. Reconnected all the original gear at 26yo. After 2 days of playing again and again, dying many times at the final boss, finally kicked his ass and got my girl back! What a feeling it was, high-fived my little me.
I saw Yuzo Koshiro ( the man behind this music) do a DJ gig at Magfest a few years ago. It was so loud I don't remember if he played any of these tracks.
It's coming now on 30 YEARS since the release of this masterpiece videogame and I never in all of that time forgot the beautiful music that accompanied the action. I am glad I lived to see this.
yeah i mean what other game sounded this good in 1989? i dont think there is even an arcade game from that year that could match that. but maybe an amiga game.
No doubt that this is the best video game soundtrack... Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips... Amazing times there at the end of the eighties...
The Shinobi and Terrible Beat are my fav. I finished this game back then, This game is really hard,. I recently replayed it and couldn't pass the first house lol, I suck at video games now.
I'm glad I could not find a track on here that didn't grow on me. Every one of them are bangers and boppers! 😀I want to play this game just for these genius compositions.
"Chinatown" - Man... I watch that stage in the demo attract wondering if I would ever make it there as a 8 year old lol.. Flippin' on to street signs to get thru the stage was so damn Epic
Damn Game was so DAMN HARD. NEVER beat it. This was SHINOBI tha Revenge of that Copyright INFRINGER. Guest Featured, BATMAN, SPIDERMAN, TERMINATOR, Arnold Schwarzenegger, GOD ZILLA and many more lol haha lmao haha ;D
Hahahah oh god, If I recall correctly the Terminator turned into the Hulk and Batman into Spiderman (or the other way around). The first time I fought the bossess I was: "...wait... what is going on?!"
You know this games good when you play it as a 5 year old in 1994 and download it to finish it 25 years later in 2019 when you discover how to use emulators. Curse that stage seven jump my 5 year old self never passed
I laugh when people try to compare Shinobi 3's music to this masterpiece. Even though Shinobi 3 has an amazing soundtrack, this soundtrack is just hit after hit.
I remember in the late 90s there were those "100 Games in One" plug and play units you could buy at kiosks in the mall. My friend had one and it was just Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, and Shadow Dancer but broken up stage by stage. I looked those up recently and wasnt surprised to find they were discontinued for being super illegal. Ah well. I got to play through all of those games because of that.
I aways liked Long Distance as a young child, and I think having grown up and knowing a bit about music I realised why. I love the use of alternative time signatures to 4/4, and it is in 6/8. Not to mention the entire soundtrack just being plain awesome, anyway, Yuzo Koshiro performs the same miracles with the Mega Drive's chipset that Jeroen Tel did with the C64's SID chip.

Yuzo Koshiro definitelly knows how to use the Genesis sound chip.
I think he's undeniably the master of it, unless there's another composer I don't know who has used it better.
@user-lx9tl3lc5f Koshiro is the sound of Genesis,for sure
This is one of the most bloody incredible game soundtracks of all time. Yuzo Koshiro nailed it!

I did not find the C64 much better than the Nes back in the day, but hearing Green hills zone for the first time was amazing.

China Town is definitely goosebump-level.
+Jimi Jams epic one, guys!
It's not the genesis, it's Yuzo Koshiro, it doesn't matter what system he composes for the soundtracks are great!
He had a knack of getting the very best out of the Md sound chip!

Could you beat him in time without the use of the power up ?

Ninja step FTW!
Ninja-Ninja-Step!
The army base track is the best
The ending themes too, the both of them. They really complete the mood of the game, whichever ending you get.
Funny thing is I always thought the game cover was so cool…still a fun game to play today.
Koshiro should be held in the same regard as Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and so forth.

Shinobi Legions is so goddamn amazing, it beats revenge at every possible level, except maybe for the soundtrack, even if richard jacques' music is great.
The original lacks the intensity but is equally as memorable and perfectly fits the game just as Shadow Dancer (Gen) holds it's own as well...
Honestly, I think I overall prefer Shinobi III. I think the running mechanic has a lot to do with it.

Absolutely unforgettable soundtrack, imho the best game on the system and probably one of the best platformers and soundtracks of all time, big ups Yuzo Koshiro
Run or Die and Ninja Step are fire!
A fellow Run or Die fan. Lets go. 🔥
so many good memories this game brings me
Over the bay and China town makes me dancing
One of the best games of all time. It shows they put a lot of effort into it, in all aspects: gameplay, music, graphics, etc. True masterpiece.
I love me some SNES but Genesis was fkin bad ass man, and Shinobi is just one example why. I'm still stuck in the 8/16 bit era. NES, SNES, GENESIS, SEGA CD, TG16 SUPER CD...that's all my shit. 12:35 waterfallz
Couldn't pass through level 2 of this game as a kid. I didn't even figure out the double jump back in the days.
Reconnected all the original gear at 26yo. After 2 days of playing again and again, dying many times at the final boss, finally kicked his ass and got my girl back!
What a feeling it was, high-fived my little me.
10:32 "Like A Wind" and 16:41 "Long Distance" are my favorites...
Good jams, definitely
“Long Distance” is my jam here.
Part of my childhood. We had one of those 3 in 1 cartridges with this, streets of rage and golden axe.
I saw Yuzo Koshiro ( the man behind this music) do a DJ gig at Magfest a few years ago. It was so loud I don't remember if he played any of these tracks.
It's coming now on 30 YEARS since the release of this masterpiece videogame and I never in all of that time forgot the beautiful music that accompanied the action. I am glad I lived to see this.
For an early game in the Genesis life, this one really is a good one.
yeah i mean what other game sounded this good in 1989? i dont think there is even an arcade game from that year that could match that. but maybe an amiga game.
Amiga? No, it takes Mega power to sound this good
Dat Ninja Step
Dat Ninja Step goes hard.
+Chad Serrant My fave! :)
No doubt that this is the best video game soundtrack... Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips... Amazing times there at the end of the eighties...
Koshiro...a true legend.

The Shinobi and Terrible Beat are my fav. I finished this game back then, This game is really hard,. I recently replayed it and couldn't pass the first house lol, I suck at video games now.
My childhood will forever be remember by Yuzo.
I'm glad I could not find a track on here that didn't grow on me. Every one of them are bangers and boppers! 😀I want to play this game just for these genius compositions.
Chinatown n last part saved the princess soundtrack. My favourite
yuzu koshiro is a master piece
In those days, even though the graphics was ancient, the composers were top-notch and really put in a lot of effort in composing every single track.
Comment jla kiffais cette B.O. à l' époque...j avais 12 ans.Quelle qualité pour l' époque et les restrictions techniques!
I only beat Revenge of Shinobi twice in my lifetime which I'm proud...The music and gameplay was just absolutely flawless.
2020 As I'm working from home I play Chinatown over and over again it's so relaxing and I love the music in the background.
The Shinobi for me the favorite tune. Mix between darkness and groovy beat. Always reminds me of Shinobi
A great video game soundtrack. Thanks Mister Koshiro.
0:00 to 1:52 The Shinobi = heaven
"Chinatown" - Man... I watch that stage in the demo attract wondering if I would ever make it there as a 8 year old lol.. Flippin' on to street signs to get thru the stage was so damn Epic
Damn Game was so DAMN HARD. NEVER beat it.
This was SHINOBI tha Revenge of that Copyright INFRINGER. Guest Featured, BATMAN, SPIDERMAN, TERMINATOR, Arnold Schwarzenegger, GOD ZILLA and many more lol haha lmao haha ;D
I have never beaten it without killing the dude's girl... :-(
Oweinama Biu I'm glad, that I can beat this game without killing the girl in the process back then... ^^
Oweinama Biu I never got pas the Docks level...
XD it was hard at first, but there's a little trick on that long jumping platform...
Hahahah oh god, If I recall correctly the Terminator turned into the Hulk and Batman into Spiderman (or the other way around). The first time I fought the bossess I was: "...wait... what is going on?!"
You know this games good when you play it as a 5 year old in 1994 and download it to finish it 25 years later in 2019 when you discover how to use emulators. Curse that stage seven jump my 5 year old self never passed
I had my megadrive plugged to my HiFi system with extra bass ON. For me the best soundtrack in any megadrive game!! Feeling nostalgic now!
Absolutely dope soundtrack. Yuzo Koshiro is god. Jitsu of Mijin! *Explodes*
*In no particular order:*
-Long Distance
-Like a Wind
-Terrible Beat
-Labyrinth
-My Lover
-Sunrise Blvd
-The Ninja Master
...are simply phenomenal.
I had this game. One of the best soundtracks in 16-bit. "Long Distance" always makes me feel like I should be running.
yuzo koshiro is simply wonderful!!!!!
I have this game. Mastered it at one time, hardest level 0 shrukens. They should make games like this now.
thank you 🙏 🎵 ⭐️
I laugh when people try to compare Shinobi 3's music to this masterpiece. Even though Shinobi 3 has an amazing soundtrack, this soundtrack is just hit after hit.
Thabks for posting. If your favorite song is also - china town, check out the remaster it's super dope 👌
18:20 I don't know why, but this gives me so many emotions
It is hauntingly beautiful. When I played it to my best friend (who hasn't played Revenge of Shinobi), she thought it was the bad ending music.
At its time this was surely the most theatrical soundtrack for a game yet. SEGA was at the forefront with this.
I remember in the late 90s there were those "100 Games in One" plug and play units you could buy at kiosks in the mall. My friend had one and it was just Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, and Shadow Dancer but broken up stage by stage. I looked those up recently and wasnt surprised to find they were discontinued for being super illegal. Ah well. I got to play through all of those games because of that.
Just amazing to hear the music of this recorded from the legit system. I have this in that 6-Pak cartridge. Good times.
I aways liked Long Distance as a young child, and I think having grown up and knowing a bit about music I realised why. I love the use of alternative time signatures to 4/4, and it is in 6/8. Not to mention the entire soundtrack just being plain awesome, anyway, Yuzo Koshiro performs the same miracles with the Mega Drive's chipset that Jeroen Tel did with the C64's SID chip.
