I'm 16, and i'm watching this because I enjoy retro games. There's just a charm that I don't find in newer games. Plus, they are easier to make. I think people should make games on older systems like NES, even if it's not sold anymore, new games would sure be fun. My favorite NES game is S.C.A.T., because it's very Contra-esque, but you can fly around the level
Love this title screen music comp. I remember starting these games up, hearing these tunes, and that was my childhood. Ninty and Shiggy would be proud.
3:53 That funky version of the Star Wars Cantina Band, brings back memories of my friend and I killing ourselves trying to get past the first few levels of that game and never getting to the spaceship levels shown on the back screenshots of the box, which is the whole reason we hired it! He visits and we still can't do it till this day!!
Can we take a moment to revel in the box art of each NES game? The way each artist tried to sell the box art reminds me of Drew Struzan from the _Star Wars_ posters!
The best part is when the volume between the songs starts to drastically change, so you turn up the volume for one tune, only to be blasted at 3am on the next.
It's interesting how you can always tell the Western developed games by that distinctive "trilling" sort of tone that sounds like it's coming out of a C64.
It’s called arpeggio and or arp for short and is a chord played monophonically so one note at a time old systems could play complex chords because each note requires a different oscillator at the same time so they would cycle the notes of a chord quickly
@@VitaEx Makes sense. I have always wondered why it's so closely associated with Western developed games, though. Did Japanese game composers have some actual reason to use the technique to a much lesser degree or even avoid it entirely?
Will Mistretta there are different ways to program sounds to stack tones and make them sound like a chord could be a style choice may have more to do with the year then western or eastern as certain styles seem more popular at different eras but I’m not sure hard to say
Can anyone tell me the name of the track playong on 49:49 is i love it but i cant see.the title because of how its written and the uploader didnt help by listing the names in alphabetical order rather than in a time sequence
I am looking for music/songs that were played in the background in the lobby when you choose what game to play on NES consoles, and I can't find them. Does anyone know where I can find them?
@@switchel_schnitzel4154 I found the console that I played as a kid, it is called Ending man console. On the cartridges of that console there were 8bit music in the background in the lobby.
@@aarongski5170 oh interesting. i never heard of it before. i would love to help you, but i dont know what songs came on it. hope you can find the song though
This is what childhood sounds like. So many happy memories.
If could go back to 1990 I probably would, even though I would erase my child, I could avoid some very bad life changing events.

Thank you! Wish the poster of this video made a time-stamp list.
the 2nd dots is holy diver
you missed a few asshole
and the rest?
All of us who listen to this are probably all in our mid to late 30s or 40s.
Well I can assure you that chiptune music is a thing for younger people, even 20s people grew up with NES games as childs
Yep yep.
yes you are right
20 yo right here

I appreciate that you chose more obscure tracks than the typical nes music videos... I haven't even heard a lot of these before
the dude have been looking through so much 8-bit music it's unbeliveble.
And looks like he did at least 3 more compilations
His entire.body is probably made of pixels
Thank you for posting this!
Unreal mix here. Choice deep cuts.
stuff like this is one of the things that keeps me sane cooking in the kitchen 6 days a week. Love it.
A winner is Konami! Seriously, the Konami games simply produced the best soundtracks back then.
It's very hard to to determine who was better: Capcom or Konami?
@@edwardgaines6561 Konami. Not hands down, but enough that it's obvious.
i would love to throw sunsoft in the 3 place after capcom and konami
Love this title screen music comp. I remember starting these games up, hearing these tunes, and that was my childhood. Ninty and Shiggy would be proud.
When that first Double Dragon II song came on.....
Man. I’m a kid again.
Over 4 hours great nes music? Who would dislike this????
Sony fans
@@asmith121 or Sega fan bois
people who accidentally clicked the wrong thumb
Just saw this n clicked.... starts with the Rome stage. This is gonna be GOOOD........
What an incredible mix of well known and obscure tunes. Well done.
1:00:22 One of the best game music of all time. Rollergames is a masterpiece!

This is such a good mix. TY for it!
Thank you for collecting them here.
tantos bello recuerdos de mi infancia que hasta una lagrima derrame
No console should have THIS many bangers
But this was the console of Kings,so it deserved it
That Gimmick! tune! Unbelievable!
I love the fact that some of these games I've never heard of. And I'm always a fan of a well crafted 8bit composition.
you're a great 8 bit dj

The silver surfer song about 2.48 in is an utter banger!
Отличная подборочка, спасибо автору за работу
Can we take a moment to revel in the box art of each NES game? The way each artist tried to sell the box art reminds me of Drew Struzan from the _Star Wars_ posters!
Can we take a moment to wonder why parrots say can we take a moment before saying the statement?
Not sure what's more unsettling... How great this collection is... or the cover art for Castlevania 3 at 1:18:50 LOL! I'm gonna have nightmares...
Holy hell that smurfs song fucking slaps 👌🏽
This one ? 1:36:42
Memories
46:25 SOAD be like...
the choosed music/ track is a proof that you do know the hi-quality music.
The best part is when the volume between the songs starts to drastically change, so you turn up the volume for one tune, only to be blasted at 3am on the next.
2:04:08 Treasure master holy shit that is some composing on nes :D Also very excellent selection of music!
Sounds like a god composer
It's interesting how you can always tell the Western developed games by that distinctive "trilling" sort of tone that sounds like it's coming out of a C64.
I don't know where it is in the mix, but the Solstice main theme is a prime example of that tone. It's the best!
It’s called arpeggio and or arp for short and is a chord played monophonically so one note at a time old systems could play complex chords because each note requires a different oscillator at the same time so they would cycle the notes of a chord quickly

Eight or nine! Ni-ni-ni-nine!

Can anyone tell me the name of the track playong on 49:49 is i love it but i cant see.the title because of how its written and the uploader didnt help by listing the names in alphabetical order rather than in a time sequence
What it's written there is "Dragon Scroll". I'm sure you can find it starting from that :)
Silver surfer music is wild

Hmm 3:45:04 either ripped off or was ripped off by Battletoads Artic Caverns stage
Same developer (Rare) and composer (David Wise). I guess he sort of phoned that track in.
1:00:21 this song kicks ass!
20:44
The Astyanax theme sounds like that one song from Shrek 1
3:45:05 sounds just like the ice level in Battletoads
