Agreed! It's funny how even though it's been so long, I can still remember all the songs. Building on Fire is hands down my favorite game soundtrack song ever. My three year old son is just getting in to TMNT and it's awesome!
@@elmalloc I can think of plethora of good "American" games or video game series, such as Halo, Doom, Last of Us, Uncharted, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, Banjo-Kazooie, etc.
This soundtrack brings back so many memories. There was a place I went to called Wrights Barnyard. There was an arcade there. I would play this all the time with whoever was there. If we were short a turtle, my dad would always jump on and help us out. This brings back those memories. Then I remember there was a Russian kid who was staying with a friend and his family on my block. He taught us the extra lives code for the NES. It was such a good time.
The way these composer's can take themes and re use them is amazing. Especially the "Turtle's in a Half-Shell theme". Scattered all throughout this music
I remember going crazy when I first saw it in NINTENDO POWER and I begged my dad to get it. I was the first kid on the block to get it and had everyone over playing the hell outta this game. I was stoked even though it wasn't exactly like the arcade but I appreciated the port, there was that Pizza Hut coupon in it. Ah memories :) It was harder than the arcade too
please dont remind me of pizza hut brings back painful memories of getting hit by pizza hut signs in the game by accident learning how to play the game 😆
I remember sitting on the toilet as a kid and thinking, "Man, they should be able to make the TMNT arcade game I play at Showbiz Pizza for the Nintendo...it only has two buttons...that'd work!" A month later, it was a dream come true for this classic TMNT fan. :-)
The coolest piece of music in this game to me, as a kid, was Krang's Theme. It was cool enough to have the cartoon theme song remixed throughout the soundtrack, but in the 80s and 90s, how often was enough attention paid the source material that something like a character's theme music would make it in??
Yeah, I agree. Cartoon BGM is very underrated and overlooked. The old TMNT, Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, The Raccoons, and other shows had impressive music.
I remember making home movies with my buddy and I used to put a tape recorder up to my tv and record this music so we would have a score during action scenes.
Pretty damn good OST, surprised by how manic/dark the Shredder theme is, love it. Can't get enough of the first and last stage themes. Makes you want to call a friend, whip out the NES and kick some foot-clan ass
Such kick ass music! I like how the NES port of this game added two extra levels too. Some people whine about them, but I think the levels give this game more character (especially the dojo level with all the unique enemies).
Man, this takes me back. Specially the shogun and the technodrome song. You know you made it far when you got to those stages, and can't wait to kick Krang and Shredder's asses. Damn fine OST.
You know it got real REAL when you got to the Technodrome. Hands sweating on the controller, your body shaking, and mind racing as to what you have do. Excellent game but tough son of a bitch.
Dude you rock!!!! I "LOVE!" 8bit nes music. This was back in the day when they actually tried to make the music in video games good. Not like that anymore. So thanks and keep the nes music alive...
The thing i find ironic is that people praise the publishers of the game, but don't praise the people who developed the game. But Konami and ultra games are awesome.
I played this game so dang much as a kid... At friends' houses. We didn't have a copy of this ourselves. Man, remember going over to friends' houses and playing games together?
its alll about the shogun song!!that used to get me pumped as a kid. and those cool leaping blue ninjas were so fun to jump kick! i love their death animation
this game is just classic i was playing it with my cousin when i was younger all the time!!when we were arriving at shredder i was always shiting my pants cause of the scaryness and awesomeness of this music,i was feeling it so much my blood was boiling!thank you for uploading this awesome soundtrack!
This soundtrack was absolutely amazing as was the port at the time (except for omitting Raph's sliding kick- sais can only reach so far!) But I can't help but imagine if Nintendo didn't have such a stranglehold on 3rd party companies at the time. A Genesis/Mega Drive port would've been absolutely amazing!!! This would've millions of Sega consoles. A few tracks were changed from the arcade (4:57), and added (6:36 & 12:21) but fit right in! Keizo Nakamura did an amazing job! Amazing!!!
Always had such love for these games and music was always so much more enlightening than a thousand conversations with dense, moronic parents, relatives, etc. I know, it sounds bad, but I've learned a million times over from videogames and martial arts than I'd ever care to learn from most inept humans... keep the nirvana comin!!
Thank you so much for uploading quality like this! I listen to a lot of you uploads. If I have a bad day at work or something, I can just listen to your music! Brings me back to happy childhood memories! :) Oh, the nostalgia! Again, thank you!
Got this game for 13th birthday in January 1991 when the game was only 2 weeks old. I played the shit out this game too until i beat it i didn't discover the 9 lives code until after i beat the game fair.the best part of this game i remember is when i got there was pizza hut coupon in there for a free personal pan pizza yes!! good times!!
My three favorite chip tunes from this game are "Scene 2-2: Sewers", "Scene 3-1: Winter Wonderland", and "Boss Battle". I think this game is one of Konami's best 8-bit soundtracks and that classic NES sound chip still rocks my socks.
16:27 brings back memories. Playing against Shredder with my brother, he was Don I was Leo. He got killed and it was just me on my last life and 1 square of health and I managed to beat him.
Wow EPIC: D Read one of your comments last week on another video that you where working on TMNT game music, didn't knew it was gonna be this fast :D Cheers!
Wii guy you are awesome. I want to go back in time to experience how awesome the NES was again =D. Emulators and my 31 year old brain just aren't the same.
Keep up the awesome work!!! So happy to listen to your uploads, I must have listened to atleast 30 by now but this is the first I've posted to say thank you. Just realized there is a download link so I have to get these in my car ASAP. Personal request would be to do a compilation of all of the black box game's title screens in one, that and Pinball's minute or 2 worth of music :)
I remember well when my dad bought me this game fresh out the box. I was living Germany at the time. And I also remember that coupon for free pizza was inside. Unfortunately, there was no Pizza Hut on post.
Well, I'd say that Konami had a very good track record over a long period of time. Most developers would kill to have a streak a long as Konami, but nothing lasts forever. I'd say they had like, at least 30 years of great games.
Yet another gem right here. Ah yes the time when the TMNT craze was high, they had TMNT pies with stickers in them and this arcade was out from Konami. Though it was amazing how they fit a whole game into a nes cart. I miss the early 90's... that was my childhood. I believe Ultra was either Konami before they became Konami or it was just pre-Acclaim.
Ultra was a Konami subsidiary they set up to get around the limit that Nintendo had over how many games a third party could make in one year for the NES.
Do these composers (Keizo Nakamura in this case) know just how beloved their music is, still do this day? Are there any interviews or such with any of they great Konami composers that mention anything about this?
Im for 13:18 Techno drome stage its really identical the same as konami arcade game named named named ...... i forget ahhh crime fighter1 its the same From morocco

I am saying this right now，the Japanese composers are so really good at composing game musics ever since.
They can be yes. They made this. Right? And I love this ost. It's my jam.
@@frostgiant1070 and i try fusion this TMNT2 music with TWICE Japan comeback: ruclips.net/video/TNUmuBqD6oQ/видео.html
I so really agree hence
Yes you right, there peoples is very genious in that years, made this cool game, all japanese game are to cool in that years
Great game music
13:18 Scene 7: Technodrome - Goddamn I forgot how FIRE this song is. It's legit a badass song!
I agree! I had forgotten as well!
This soundtrack is amazingly complex for the NES. So many odd times and so many instruments. It's fantastic.
The technodrome song is awesome! Great memories from playing this
One of the greatest gaming soundtracks EVER!!!
It is definitely one of Konami's finest! ;3
+WiiGuy's 8BitStereo Yes it is. I love Stage 1 you too?
+WiiGuy's 8BitStereo i agree with you!
+Gabriel Diaz hi
I really loved the music, especially since it sounded very TMNT-like.It was almost as good as Turtles in Time in my opinion.
Love it...brings back so many memories...Technodrome is still one of my favorite tracks ever for a bgm in a video game!
25 years passed since I played TNMT2 and until this day I listen to the music again and is great so many memories and good moments ...
Agreed! It's funny how even though it's been so long, I can still remember all the songs. Building on Fire is hands down my favorite game soundtrack song ever. My three year old son is just getting in to TMNT and it's awesome!
TMNT2 Sorry :)
32 years now.
Cant wait for cowabunga collection to come out.
I shed a tear on the Technodrome song.
Era la pinche puta neta ese juego! :'S
konami had japanese masterminds, americnas can never create music like this, or games! We are mainly garbage.
@@elmalloc uhhh vg music or music in general. We have tech death in the US lol
@@elmalloc not true listen to Shovel Knight's music, and the Ducktales Remastered remixes.

+Yale Scores The "Heroes in a Half-Shell" quote in scene 2-2 in the Sewers is my favorite. Never noticed when I was a kid.
the heroes in a half shell motif is so sick
Really helps keep the OST united as a whole.

It had some new levels & bosses too. Like the frozen New York level featuring a weather maker device from the cartoon.
Damn. Cool but your Nintendo but must have burned 🔥up and used up.
Good times though it sounds 👍 like.

That level one theme, with the boss theme right at the end... That's the tunes that made the shit such sensory overload.
These are all BANGERS.
My childhood right here

The awesome opening and then watch the portal close behind shredder, you know this is it..
Perfect last battle.

B A B A UP DOWN BA LEFT RIGHT BA START
Secret to beating every boss.........Jump kick, Jump kick, Jump kick......You get the point.
***** Jump kick, also a good strategy in life
charles clark true :) I usually do that move
Especially for Baxter Stockman.
Man, this takes me back. Specially the shogun and the technodrome song. You know you made it far when you got to those stages, and can't wait to kick Krang and Shredder's asses. Damn fine OST.
Family wasn't rich and I didn't have many NES games. But they bought me this and I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF IT. I will love the Turtles...forever.
my favorite stage was the one where you where skateboarding!
Hell yeah. All twenty minutes to get there to get to those final.two bosses and die instantly! 😆
You know it got real REAL when you got to the Technodrome. Hands sweating on the controller, your body shaking, and mind racing as to what you have do. Excellent game but tough son of a bitch.
Even just the name "Technodrome" is a cool name for a final stage.
I wouldn't know. I never got past the dojo.
impresionante soundtrack de mis dibujos preferidos de mi infancia
6:36 Winter's Here..! :D
Winter's here = best song in this soundtrack
All the tracks on this game is good
Dude you rock!!!! I "LOVE!" 8bit nes music. This was back in the day when they actually tried to make the music in video games good. Not like that anymore. So thanks and keep the nes music alive...
I love you too. My goal is to keep this music alive, expand its sound and quality, and upload as many NES soundtracks as I can do.
You said it man and that's the same happening in today's movies, they just output generic crap after generic crap.
charles clark If you think modern video game music sucks then you clearly aren't looking in the right places.
These old NES games and their soundtracks were a huge part of my childhood. Thanks for posting these.
A much better port than it gets credit for... and the soundtrack was SO well done. I miss me some ULTRAGAMES! :D
Back when Konami was a name of high quality. *sighs* I miss old Konami
The thing i find ironic is that people praise the publishers of the game, but don't praise the people who developed the game. But Konami and ultra games are awesome.
This was the first ever game i remember playing and probably the main reason i loved co-op games
playing this with my brothers
Listening to Krang's theme endlessly cause bro never dies.
the boss music is so goddamn awesome and still gives me chills for hos many times i died listening to it 😅
Nothing like catching that rocksteady charge or that krang boot!
this and Mario first games I ever played, greatest childhood ever
0:00 "Fire!" "hang on April!"
That Nintendo seal of quality was well deserved with this one, great game and the soundtrack is awesome as well
Good ol' TMNT Arcade, the one which Ubisoft never butchered. Thank God.
Classic on arcade and home system!
I played this game so much as a kid, and loved the Krang theme - I never realised they had the same theme for him in the 3rd game XD
And it's from the original cartoon too.
I beat this game today, and it was awesome. And the thing about this game is that they have krang, unlike the first game they don't have him
That FREE PERSONAL PAN PIZZA though lol. My goodness. Good times!
One if my all time favorite games ever, music was so great back then, I think the technodrome music was the best on this game
The TMNT games are a great trio of NES music! :)
you gotta love a video game that also scores you free pizza
and it was one of those games which loved to plug Pizza Hut a whole lot.
+figment1988 Basically just "subliminal" advertisement. I say that with quotes cuz, lets be honest, it's fairly blatant.
You know, between this and Crazy Taxi, Pizza Hut was a pioneer of in-game ads.
It's not very subliminal then is it?
Wow.. that first level.. I remember I was so cool being able to play this with my older brother and sister. Good times!!
Classic Pizza Hut and that small pan pizza to myself was great 🍕
I played this game so dang much as a kid... At friends' houses. We didn't have a copy of this ourselves.
Man, remember going over to friends' houses and playing games together?
its alll about the shogun song!!that used to get me pumped as a kid. and those cool leaping blue ninjas were so fun to jump kick! i love their death animation
Damn, now I want one of those personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hut.
Teenage muant ninja Turtles 2 was my favorite game as a Kid i miss this game

My faves (in order of play time):
0:36 Building on Fire
3:34 Streets of New York
11:04 Industrial District
One of the best games of all time
7:58 , 13:18 y 16:27 es arte puro
Pues van a ser editadas pronto (el año que viene) tanto en CD, como en LP y cassette.
OMG this music is flooding me with nostalgia! Love this game damnit!!!
Konami did a very good work. Awsome music.

One of the best right here.. A retro arcade in my town got rid of this game I was sad..
POOP HEAD Yeah and the proper port of the arcade game got pulled from XBLA.
I have to admit that back in the day I was one of the ones that didn't notice any differences other than being 2 player from the arcade game.

Still remember the cheat code to this game like 20 years later...haha
same here
pressing A and B for an hour is what this game is. While listening some kickass music.
Wow EPIC: D
Read one of your comments last week on another video that you where working on TMNT game music, didn't knew it was gonna be this fast :D Cheers!
I’m curious how the Famicom version sounds. (Considering that it uses more sound channels. One of the examples to hear that is Castlevania3)

Ppl from old school games ar very very happy with this.
Keep going Bro!!!...
Scene 1: Building on Fire needs more respect, what a banger
This brings me way back... and now that I remember, I don't think I ever got to finish this game xD
Thank you for this channel ! :)
burning channel 6 stage music = goosebumps and memories
11:04 Scene 4-2: Industrial District : This is the song I think of whenever I'm waiting for the delivery driver to deliver my package.
I never could get past snow stage as a kid. I even coop with mom. Gosh the memories...
The first stage music takes me back
You got the composer wrong. It's Kôzô Nakamura. Just googled it and these two get mixed easily since both worked at Konami.
whe i got to the parking lot and the classic teenage mutant ninja turtles began , i thougt to myself :let´s kick shells.
I'm pretty sure I used that Pizza Hut coupon.

Joe Franlin Oh konami... we will remember you for what you were.... not what you've become
Joe Franlin I don't know man. They really did lost they touch over the years.
Sadly, they've become slaves to the "almighty" dollar. But they really were great, back in the day.
Sewers theme has always been my absolute favorite
It has, perhaps, the meanest, baddest drum/bass work on any NES track....
@@neilarellano8470 totally agreed 🙌🏿
The arcade version is good also

Ultra was a Konami subsidiary they set up to get around the limit that Nintendo had over how many games a third party could make in one year for the NES.
