When I first heard this version, I thought it was messed up beyond belief, but after listening to it a second and third time, I kinda like it more than the NES version; it makes me want to go get the FDS version and play it. Now, if only someone would make an English translation hack of it... the FDS version in English would be the most awesome thing ever, right after the CV3 English hack. (Which is basically the USA/EUR version with a Japanese title screen and VRC6 soundtrack.)
@thatguyontheright1 Honestly, I could care less about writing it to an FDS disk. I'd be more than happy with playing it on an emulator; my FDS bit the dust a long time ago anyway. I am curious as to where this hack can be found, though.
@accent361 That is because of system limitations. This game utilized only the FDS hardware and not the famicom. So the sound range was limited to the upper ranges of what the famicom was capable of.
Actually, an FDS game still has to utilize the Famicom hardware for sound. The FDS is responsible for one extra channel of wavetable (and sometimes very basic FM) synthesis. The rest of the channels still come from the Famicom (the 2a03) and sound the same as they normally should.
... Hello, stupid! MP was made for the SNES, long after this game came out. And honestly, the song is actually very popular, and made it from the NES to the Gameboy Advance, all the way to the Wii in "Castlevania: Judgement" with a metal remix! You've got to admit, Konami made this song as badass as the NES could handle without blowing up. And honestly, it's just mindblowing how they did it within the limits that the NES and FamiCom forced them to work with.
Reminds me of one of those 20 key keyboards you get at toys r us.

@SynobazzCircutMaster It exists, and with the right tools, you can use your computer and the FDS to write it to a FDS disk.

@krourou2 I love how you nerd raged at a year old comment, for all the wrong reasons.
