When I was a kid I sat a tape recorder next to the TV speaker and recorded the music from every part of this game, so I could listen to it on my Walkman whenever I wanted to
Ahh, I used to do the same. Albeit my age is 18, I used to get my 3DS and record themes from Sonic when I was younger, and then listen to it over and over while I'm in the car.
I did the exact same thing with this and A Link To The Past and parts of Super Metroid. I also did it to my favorite movies so I could listen to them on long car rides lol.
Me too i used to do it tooo with my. Md walkman mini disc from my megadrive gamboy ps1 dreamcast ps2 i still those mini disc Btw im from north africa morocco
Not ONE single bad track. This is just amazing. Brings back so many memories. This deserves so many awards just for the music. Also, best ever Mega man game and top 5 NES games IMO.
@@excrono Wily 2 is way too overhated. The track is all about immersion, and it fits the Anxiety of the later stages perfectly. Not every track needs to be about catchy fast-paced hooks.
You know I'm almost 37 years old with responsibilities aka adult things going on etc but you know what this nes square wave makes me feel feel teenage and light heart again!
Grown men are nothing but kids with a bigger budget at their disposal. Never let go of that feeling when you were 10 years old, helps you enjoy life a whole lot more :D

I was born in 85. This was the first video game I was I was ever exposed to. I love my father because I used to request of him that we beat the game over and over just so I could hear the soundtrack because I loved it so much. He got very good at beating mega man 2.
I was 9 and I never understood the password system and played it from start every new attempt. I remember rainy days after school, sitting on the carpet in front of the CRT TV. Only allowed to play till 6pm because then my parents would watch the news. I did beat it finally. The tension with so much to lose and the seemingly never ending route to Dr Willy. It felt like a real achievement, but also kind of sad i had reached the end. I remember that day still, it was one of those rainy days.
I can tell everyone here is in their late 30s to early 40s lol. What a time to be alive. Music. Tv. Video games. Professional sports. No internet. Cheap gas. Saturday morning cartoons. VHS. Cassette Tapes. Love letters. Mall Arcades. ShowBiz Pizza.
I’m also just a teenager that has good parents. They really appreciate the 80s and 90s and showed me many things from it. I may not have been around then, but I feel like I missed out on the greatest decade. I wish I could’ve been there
I beat this game so many times when I was a kid. I was addicted to it. I have all 6 original NES carts and still play this one to completion from time to time. My parents were drug addicts when I was young (they're clean now thankfully) and I didn't have many friends until high school so video games essentially became my friends. I love each and every one of these tracks as you might a cherished acquaintance from a bygone era. Each one not only unlocks some some deeply ingrained core memory, but also immediately invokes the ~30 year old feelings that accompany that memory.
Sucks that you had to deal with that as a kid. But at least your 'friends' were and still remain classics. I grew up playing Megaman 2 and 3, Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game and Batman on the NES. Could do a lot worse than playing videogames to not have to deal with harsh reality.
Takashi Tateishi was one of the best composers Mega Man ever had. The level of energy in these tracks is unrivaled throughout the entire classic series in my opinion.
This is the best 8 bit soundtrack I’ve ever heard. I got this game 34 years ago when it came out. From my best friend on my 13th birthday. Still awesome
17:13 Me as a kid goosebumps kicks in super nervous feeling like a bad ass with that music 🎵 What a great audio to go back in to your youth again amazing i will never forget this game!
I put the music in the video in a random position and came to read the comments, missing my childhood days. About 4 or 5 songs had passed, when I read this one with the indication 17:13... Exactly the song that had started. Mysterious coincidence, mysterious surprise! I wish I could go back in time, just a little...
I could never pick my favorite as a child, except for drifting along with the crowd and shout wily stage 1. But now as a midlife adult Bubbleman gets me the most goosebumps every. single. time.
@@Annexialol quick-man...use flash! And that damn dragon in Wily's Castle!! These young kids dont realize we didn't have a "save state" option on NES like these emulators today.😊
its funny you say that, years ago i worked at a pizza place. I stayed up all night and was feeling really loopy and the owner of the store decided to show up that day. He was super super weird and tall and looked like a cartoon character. I thought the same thing you did, the whole intro where he does a pose and the song plays. It cracked me up
This game had some of the most lit music of the 80's. So many catchy tunes, all these years later I still find myself singing these in the shower or in my car or humming them as I go through my day!
I shit you not... a couple of years ago I had an interview for an internship in England... before I went in I played wily’s castle I theme to pump me up... I got it and I had an amazing time... this game and it’s music are so damn great!

Front to back this whole game is 10/10. And god damn, the OPENING and CREDITS music being the same is such a beautiful touch. Credits music is changed up a bit but it's like, so damn good I can't explain it. God damn this game rules.
17:13..... I couldn't wait to get to that point, every time I played. Just the music, the atmosphere, being close to the end of the game. Been an incredibly long time since there were only 2 Mega Man games......
The title screen of this game and Wily’s Castle have to be the most iconic mega man song of all time, and definitely up there in the most iconic video game songs(Behind 1-1, Green Hill Zone, and Tetris.)

A few months ago I composed a soundtrack for a short game called TimeZooka, and I had memories of this soundtrack in the back of my mind giving me inspiration despite not having heard this in years. Finally listened to this today and wow the nostalgia!
So grateful to the creators of this incredible game. Music producers are astounding for what they had available. Making wonderful highly remembered music that gives me nostalgia from when I was only single digit age (with single digit 8 bit audio). Amazing
Single digit 8 bit audio? I don't know what that is. It had 5 independent, programmable, sound channels (2 squares, 1 triangle, 1 noise, and a delta-encoded sample playback). One of those (the sample playback) had a 7-bit range, while the others had 4-bit range. Still great music despite the limitations, yes.

Seriously great music. Look what they were working with. The arrangements are perfect for the hardware and the melodies are fantastic. They have real bands and orchestra music in games now and this puts most modern game soundtracks to absolute shame.
I haven't played this for over 30 years, but can still remember every melody, bassline, percussion as if it was yesterday. It might be etched into my brain.
I remember waking up my older bro at like 6am to tell him that I beat Megaman 2. I must have gotten up at like 4am or something to play it. Probably the first game that I beat before he did. I was so stoked, he just went back to sleep lol. One of the most satisfying games to beat since it took a lot of practice and skill, but wasn't cheap or overly frustrating. And the music kicks ass.
One of The all time great video game soundtracks of all times. (along with Streets of Rage 2) I been playing this video for a long time & it still doesn't get old. Simply, MEMORIES BABY!!! lol
My friend, it was done by japanese people. They usually go 110% at w/e they do at the moment. Sometimes they pay high price but it's their culture. We are thankful for and happy with the results. Woodman nice ;)
@Mallory Oakes I honestly think they meant hard in the traditional sense. I can see why people would consider it hard, im looking back with experience so its probably unfair for me to say its not a hard game.
Man, listening to this soundtrack brings back tons of memories. I still have my NES and the cart in storage. Makes me want to crack it open and play. Still one of the most satisfying games to beat. The Mega Man series was always a go to for me.
The intro and 17:13 are my favorites. The rest of the game had stellar music as well, but those two points are the greatest in my opinion . I can still hum along to it to this day at 37 years old😂. One of the most iconic nes soundtracks!
The composers were not 'limited by the technology of the time'. This was state of the art for its time, the real leading edge. They did an amazing job!
Bro this is one of the best soundtracks in videogame history. For me. It's so nostalgic. I'm listening to quick man stage holy cow. Pretty much every song is crazy dope to me.
This is almost enough to bring me to tears. I just see myself going to the video store (haha!) and renting this for Thanksgiving break, playing it with plenty of Pepsi on-hand, etc.

Exactly!!! Can never be topped....ever!!
Its impressive that they managed to make such a jamming and complex soundtrack with the limited sound tech the NES had
Exactly. This sounds great, but to be truly honest, it doesn't begin to touch what Tim Follin was capable of at the same time.
Absolutely! For its time this was pushing the NES's limited audio chipset to its absolute limits. But god was it glorious.
I think the limited technology of the era really forced composers into making the melodies absolutely slap.
I like it, there’s zero fat on any of it.
It's even more impressive that the 16-Bit "Wily Wars" loses HARD in comparison

Captures all the emotion/heart. Today's stuff will never come close, long live 8-bit era.
This is the megaman game with the best music of all. I never get tired of listening to him

Front to back this whole game is 10/10. And god damn, the OPENING and CREDITS music being the same is such a beautiful touch. Credits music is changed up a bit but it's like, so damn good I can't explain it. God damn this game rules.
Bubble Man Theme...DAMN! Makes me so melancholy.
Same. And I'm in 2024
@@rashadallen9299bro bubbleman's level was brutal back in the early 90s. Those damn spikes! Especially when the water turns brown.

I agree with you I thought was the only one ☝🏽
Flash man
Takeshi Tateishi is a fucking genius
17:13..... I couldn't wait to get to that point, every time I played. Just the music, the atmosphere, being close to the end of the game. Been an incredibly long time since there were only 2 Mega Man games......
Wood Man... is good (07:57) and Dr. Wily’s Castle (17:13) is like the best video game soundtrack Ever Created.!!!
dr. wily stage sounds like the end of the word, so awesome
The title screen of this game and Wily’s Castle have to be the most iconic mega man song of all time, and definitely up there in the most iconic video game songs(Behind 1-1, Green Hill Zone, and Tetris.)

Most brilliant comment in a while. Good job.
25:02 chill man!
bgm 들을때마다 친척 동생 집에서 nes로 록맨 2를 진행 하던 어린 시절이 떠오르고 잊혀지질 않습니다.
This was the first game I ever owned for myself and I still hum the songs to myself from time to time. :D
I remember having to ask my big sister for help on some of the levels as a kid.
Me too from time to time I get a random stage song like woodman or airman
A few months ago I composed a soundtrack for a short game called TimeZooka, and I had memories of this soundtrack in the back of my mind giving me inspiration despite not having heard this in years. Finally listened to this today and wow the nostalgia!
This music still gives me find memories. I will never forget mega man 2.
So grateful to the creators of this incredible game. Music producers are astounding for what they had available. Making wonderful highly remembered music that gives me nostalgia from when I was only single digit age (with single digit 8 bit audio). Amazing
Seriously just so genius, sound design is brilliant
Single digit 8 bit audio? I don't know what that is.
It had 5 independent, programmable, sound channels (2 squares, 1 triangle, 1 noise, and a delta-encoded sample playback). One of those (the sample playback) had a 7-bit range, while the others had 4-bit range.
Still great music despite the limitations, yes.

Seriously great music. Look what they were working with. The arrangements are perfect for the hardware and the melodies are fantastic.
They have real bands and orchestra music in games now and this puts most modern game soundtracks to absolute shame.
I haven't played this for over 30 years, but can still remember every melody, bassline, percussion as if it was yesterday. It might be etched into my brain.
I remember waking up my older bro at like 6am to tell him that I beat Megaman 2. I must have gotten up at like 4am or something to play it. Probably the first game that I beat before he did. I was so stoked, he just went back to sleep lol. One of the most satisfying games to beat since it took a lot of practice and skill, but wasn't cheap or overly frustrating. And the music kicks ass.
Best mega man soundtrack of all time
Hands. down.
Mega Man X is a close second for me.
Debateable with mm9.
The Beginning Sounds Golden
Undoubtedly the best soundtrack of the entire saga. (Sin duda el mejor soundtrack de toda la saga)
子供の頃ロックマン2をやった時の衝撃は忘れられない！なんって完成度の高いゲームなんだろう！！マリオ、ドラキュラ、コントラなど好きでしたが、このロックマン2が特に素晴らしい😊
When you understand the game and music, it will made so much sense that you'd shed your tears of joy listening to this masterpiece.
One of The all time great video game soundtracks of all times. (along with Streets of Rage 2) I been playing this video for a long time & it still doesn't get old. Simply, MEMORIES BABY!!! lol
Japanese.
とても懐かしいです！
かなりやり込んだ思い出が蘇ります！
Hands down the best music of ANY Megaman ever made
haha you forget Megaman X for the SNES!
@@yominishijama6204 Hello, no.
One of the best original sound tracks I ever heard.
They really didn't need to go this freaking hard for their *_second_* attempt. Yet they did. And for that, we we're grateful.
Hard?
My friend, it was done by japanese people. They usually go 110% at w/e they do at the moment. Sometimes they pay high price but it's their culture. We are thankful for and happy with the results. Woodman nice ;)
@Mallory Oakes I honestly think they meant hard in the traditional sense. I can see why people would consider it hard, im looking back with experience so its probably unfair for me to say its not a hard game.

Man, listening to this soundtrack brings back tons of memories. I still have my NES and the cart in storage. Makes me want to crack it open and play. Still one of the most satisfying games to beat. The Mega Man series was always a go to for me.
I sold my NES games some time back because of financial issues, I looked at this game and went.. I don't want to, but have to. Megaman.
I love flash mans music and how it goes perfectly with his stage.
Bubble Man's theme might be my favorite piece of video game music ever. It is indescribable how it makes me feel. It's amazing
It is my favorite in this game too. Many “water stage” music in video games has that certain appeal to me and this is the epitome of it.
@@friedchikenwatermeln I certainly agree
The intro and 17:13 are my favorites. The rest of the game had stellar music as well, but those two points are the greatest in my opinion . I can still hum along to it to this day at 37 years old😂. One of the most iconic nes soundtracks!
Had a certain megaman theme stuck in my head, it isn't one of these but listening to megaman soundtracks never fails to bring a smile on my face.
I can help you find it. Maybe it's one from the other mega mans?
@@monaliftza6787 yeah sure it goes bah babababaab bah babababbah baaah bababah dododoooo
クイックマン、メタルマン、ヒートマンが特に好きやった。
ステージ開始から動かずにずっと聞いてた程好きやった。
The composers were not 'limited by the technology of the time'. This was state of the art for its time, the real leading edge. They did an amazing job!
They definitely were lol. Even compared to what they would have in the 90s
They used what they had and made timeless masterpieces
I agree! @@canontheory

That Crash Man track has stayed in my head note for note for almost 30 years. Jesus
That's about how long it takes to complete that stage.
I'm here in 2024. Anyone else? 36 years later and this soundtrack STILL slaps
Real
I stated this game at 4 years old no shit Sherlock
What is good is timeless.
Slaps like a mofo….listen to analog bubblebath #3!
Best soundtrack of all time
I can't get Crashman's stage out of my head, even to this day.
+No Fatchix seriously the best. want to tear up the dance floor to this song
No Fatchix The spinning hamburgers.
Slow and Unknown for me it was the little hamburger buns that run at you then hide under their hamburger bun head

I love this music! So many memories! Quanti ricordi
思い出と共に涙が出てくる。お金の心配もない。時間の心配もない。人間関係の心配もない。夕方なって友達の家から帰って飯食ってラピュタ見てて、いつの間にか寝てた。いい子供時代だった！あ～懐かしい！一日でいいからあの時に戻りたい。まさに人生は夢の如し。（４０過ぎたおじさんより）
I am also greatly moved by this. I was here in America doing the exact same thing. The music still reminds me of those feelings. (Another old man 40+)
This was the game that introduced me to Megaman, and made me the passionate fan I am today.
almost 20years and the musics so good i still recognize it upon listening.
I keep coming back to this soundtrack, it’s only gotten better with age. The Air Man guitar solo by Manami Matsumae absolutely KILLS.
Bro this is one of the best soundtracks in videogame history. For me. It's so nostalgic. I'm listening to quick man stage holy cow. Pretty much every song is crazy dope to me.
Woodman stage hits somthing deep in my soul.
Still is and always will be the greatest soundtrack to a video game of all time.
It's all about BUBBLE MAN's theme.. 5:33
02:42 For bullshit.
07:57 for the nicest Robot Master you will ever meet.
The Crash Man theme is very underrated.
Dr.Willy Castle stage music is amazing even now.
This is almost enough to bring me to tears. I just see myself going to the video store (haha!) and renting this for Thanksgiving break, playing it with plenty of Pepsi on-hand, etc.
