This is the best version of the Dragon Spirit soundtrack. Beautifully done. I still have this game in my collection; had it since 1990 my favorite stage is Deep Sea.
My grimgram bought this for me when I was a kid. I think it was one of those cheapo bargain games but I loved it. It came with a built-in trainer mode for kids to start. Found an arcade cabinet of it in Japan. Nostalgiagasm
NES, Star Wars, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Run DMC, Ninja Turtles, and yes, Beverly Hills Cop (when parents weren't watching). Oh, forgot about riding bikes. What a fun time to be a kid.
Cuántos recuerdos me trae vídeo juego, las horas que le dedicaba al juego,amaba la música que tenía eso te animaba más y las evoluciones que tenía el dragón y las pantallas,y las princesas que ibas liberando a medida que pasabas los niveles... Cuanta nostalgia 😍
I was so young playing this game on Nintendo back in 1993 that I could not understand why some of the fairies were just silhouettes, because I couldn't read, plus the writing was in Japanese. Those were the best days
I loved the music of this game so muuch that I used the soundtrack code to just enjoy the music, many other games has a similar code like nija gaiden 1,2 super contra and dragon spirit has the pecularity to physically push the reset button to perform the code
I used to love this game! I remember the playing through the story with the Gold dragon not realizing it was basically easy mode...until I discovered the Blue dragon mode. That's when the REAL game starts!
Nah, blue dragon mode is still easy af. Try playing the original Dragon Spirit game. It's on the switch and I think PS4/5. THAT is the real game, both literally and in terms of difficulty - its fn HARD. IG it was meant to be, it was designed to deprive you of your quarters in the arcades lol. Still, a ton of fun now that you don't have to pay per round.
I get goosebumps hearing that intro music. This is one of the few 8-bit games where I would argue the soundtrack on the console version is superior to the arcade version.
While I can't make any comparisons to the arcade game, the NES rendition of Dragon Spirit stands up well on its own, Namco deserves much recognition for doing something a little different, and making a decent 8-bit conversion of it too. it's refreshing to play a shooter game not based on spaceships and alien invasions. The idea of a dragon having its head split from one to two to three might not be enough to make this experience truly unique,
This will forever be one of my favorite games. This version specifically. I tried playing the updated version included in Namco Museum and it just felt so wrong to me. ^^; And I spent SO much time in the sound test.
This is a 10/10 NES OST. Rarely would I give a 10/10 for an NES soundtrack due to an obnoxious track or tune within the track but Dragon Spirit does not have any of that. Kirby's Adventure is another example of 10/10.
The arcade version heavily relied on fm drums the same way triangles drums are made on nes, I wish this version had some triangle drums thrown in would of been perfect. But still the delay tricks were handle pretty well on this soundtrack.
It's like you read my mind! I just did a search for this one last week under "Wiiguy309" and found nothing - and was profoundly sad. Now I can't remember if I actually wrote in a request for this one or if I was just planning on it. I think the latter. Anyway, I was forced to listen to other substandard tracks by someone else who basically did a straight rip in mono, and I thought, "Man, this would be great in stereo (or split track; whatevs)." And now here it is! Thanks, man, my work day will be almost 25 minutes easier (longer if I just keep replaying)!
One of my favorite game to play and I speedrun this game. My favorite OSTs are Stage 5 (also my favorite stage), the boss battle and the three headed dragon fight theme.....I think Stage 6 as well. Thanks for putting those musics on here since I couldn't hear well (yes, I'm deaf) the melodies from the game (well...thru TV) but just all bass. So now, I can hear how the melody goes. TY.
I like these versions of Jungle and Deep Sea better than the originals. Cave Road sounds most similar between the two. Glacier Land and the first part of Dark Castle, gotta go with the originals. The rest are toss ups, both versions sound pretty good considering.
After hearing the arcade version, I prefer the NES rendition of the Volcano theme better. It sounds like it could be reorchestrated and used in a game like Soul Calibur.
I didn't forget, I just didn't choose to put in the time stamps when editing the songs in the description, of all things I do in 8BS, putting in the time stamps on videos is the part I slack on the most, I usually get around to it XP

Me too! red cartridge :]
This is hands down my favorite NES soundtrack

This is one of my favorite games. Glacier land is my favorite stage because of the music.
NES, Star Wars, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Run DMC, Ninja Turtles, and yes, Beverly Hills Cop (when parents weren't watching).
Oh, forgot about riding bikes.
What a fun time to be a kid.
One of my first NES game. And Cave Road is the finest tune here.
i been trying to do an arrangement of that track on guitar
Agreed.
This game have one of the best soundtracks
indeed it does sir.......
It is originally composed by Shinji Hosoe a.k.a Sampling Masters MEGA
you should check out the original game's soundtrack
As someone who has played this at the arcade, I can 100% assure you that your comment is correct.

4:16 I may just prefer this rendition over the original arcade version. Very moving tune.
Such an underrated fun game with awesome soundtrack
I remember faintly seeing this cart back in the late 80's and watching someone play it. Wow.... I am old XD
u old
I love the Volcano theme, and the boss theme is very memorable too. I love those harmonic melodies!
I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Thanks for uploading.
I do get around (to requests) ;3
Such nostalgia 💖✨
I loved the music of this game so muuch that I used the soundtrack code to just enjoy the music, many other games has a similar code like nija gaiden 1,2 super contra and dragon spirit has the pecularity to physically push the reset button to perform the code
This brings a tear to my eye. I would play this over so many times because i was in love with the hot anime princess's.
Yes, thats why 17:00 is the best song, and I always felt like my time with her was cut way too short. :3
I was in love with my dragon self.
I was in love with my first and third heads, but not the 2nd one
@@OilSlickSandwich Ghidorra had that problem too, they tend to get tied in knots when your pissed off
this was one of the games i grew up with when i was just a little boy. i definitely can't wait to have this one in my armada of your OSTs.
I like the opening and the jungle
Glacier Land (Area 6) stood out to me.
Yess it did ;3
electricmastro To me too! Never forgot it!
I just found out about this! Thanks for posting this! Such a good one.
I love this shmup, has one of the best songs. For some reason the 8-bit Famicom/NES sound more epic than the arcade and PC Engine versions.
Oh God I remember owning this game as a kid. Found it a couple years ago and I have it
I loved the music to this, but the intro song best song ever
one of the most memorable and melodic soundtracks on the famicom

The Paleozoic Era!!!!!

Love this game so much. Deserves a remake, fo' rizzle.
I wonder if Namco still owns the rights to this.
+WiiGuy's 8BitStereo They do. They reprise the Area-1 song on Taiko Drum Master, etc. quite a bit.
The closest thing I could think of is Panzer Dragoon, but heck, even that could use a revival at this point.
Bandai Namco still owns the rights.
The level 1 theme is also in Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Switch.
Volcano, Glacier, and sub final boss theme were the takers for me on this games OST...been waiting for a remake or re-release on the switch
love this game, sorry i'm a day late to thank you!!!!
11:53 Dark Quarters for me... I knew in game, when that track came on, shit was getting real.
YES! I fucking love this game. Jungle/Graveyard/Glacier/Dark Castle for life!

you mean the arcade version?
That version came before the NES version.
Could never beat the game, but I loved the music so much!
Those grow-ey thicket snake things, though.
The sword tho
I miss this one in my childhood :(
Orlando Durán same here
Aw man... so good
fuck yeah! I've been waiting for this one for so long.
I love this game!
This is a 10/10 NES OST. Rarely would I give a 10/10 for an NES soundtrack due to an obnoxious track or tune within the track but Dragon Spirit does not have any of that. Kirby's Adventure is another example of 10/10.

This game make me cry...
Yeah mr Maekawa's compositions make everyone cry
@@bartek8309 I too, that great composer must be sentimental when composing music, that's why I liked it so much

Soooo goood
i just play this game on my pc, using launchbox.
I like the musics. :)
when you die in the prologue you become a gold dragon
is there a change in the ending?
Yes there is.
It was all just a dream
Really, the composer of Jumpin' kid did this? The music seems more happy than in Jumpin' kid
This needs a 2020 remake!
Area 5 is easily the best song here
After hearing the arcade version, I prefer the NES rendition of the Volcano theme better. It sounds like it could be reorchestrated and used in a game like Soul Calibur.
Sounds almost as good as the Turbografx edition.
One can be just as good as the other, I certainly love the sound here :)
i need the song from level 1 in a 3ml format
3ml?
You forgot to put time stamp on the track list.
I didn't forget, I just didn't choose to put in the time stamps when editing the songs in the description, of all things I do in 8BS, putting in the time stamps on videos is the part I slack on the most, I usually get around to it XP
Why does everyone say Namco made this? I literally says Bandai on the cover!
Knight41b original for pc was namco
Imagine Metallica doing this sound track
sob sob sob
GODDAMMIT THIS ISN'T DRAGON WARS WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT SOUNDTRACK
