TMNT 2 The Arcade Game (NES) - Technodrome music

[pratikh]

Beating this game at nine years old was the pinnacle of my young gaming career.

NES GAMES GOOD NES BOX JUNK THE NES BOX OVER HEAT OLD SUCKS BACK IN DAY

[DisIsMySchoolAccount]

Yeeeey

[I3lindGuardian]

I miss these days...You had to EARN your way to the best music in the games. This, Mega Man 2, and 3...You name an NES game and the last few levels had the, "Yea, you know what you had to do to get here" vibe.

[DrJohnCockwalrus]

@I3lindGuardian Uh, for all games to pick when mentioning "earn" the endings, you mention Megaman 2 and 3? Those games are easy, especially 3.

If you're talking NES difficulty, you're talking about games like (but not limited to, there are many more) Ninja Gaiden III, Castlevania III, Zelda II, Journey To Silius, 1943 and (heaven forbid) Ghosts & Goblins and Battletoads.

[I3lindGuardian]

@DrJohnCockwalrus and I quote "You name an NES game and the last few levels had the, "Yea, you know what you had to do to get here" vibe." and you named some nes games...haha :P

[Shaggysan]

E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T BGM

[psylentknight]

I like the 8-bit version of the soundtrack more. Much respect to the original score, but this one has more appeal. I'd still play this today ;)

[billny33]

@psylentknight when i compare the 8-bit version to the arcade, this technodrome theme is def better on the NES than the arcade. But the final boss theme against Shredder the arcade version takes the cake and then some. Listen to that, it is nasty.

[gabrielgstylediaz]

That 1 person sux @ life.

[brow7549]

ranks right up there with the classic zelda theme and megaman. Miss those days.

[KrushKrills]

This is right up there with the Megaman themes

[metroidslifesucks]

You know when this theme starts playing, some serious shit is about to go down.

[21380]

Somehow i have remembered this music perfectly 15years in my head. Now that i hear it again brings me shivers :) Man this game has been under some hard playing as kid. Love this game and specially this song is one of the best of all soundtracks on NES.

[Butters644]

oh god big metal balls coming ouuuuu shell shock

[AaronCarterRocks]

I got caught jerking while playing tmnt 2 once

[shadowninja55]

@AaronCarterRocks wow thats taking it too far, I can understand if someone saw your bonner but dude thats just sick

[superrandy69]

i love this song

[shrek187]

This is one of the best ports out there for the NES I prefer this more than Double Dragon.

[shrek187]

@cfonsi

I really don't understand your comment????

[cfonsi]

@shrek187 I thought you were saying that the firdt nes turtles game is a port of the arcade game, but I wasn't paying attention to the video's title.

[shrek187]

@cfonsi

It's alright then.

[alienboya]

Thumbs up if this song gives you guys goose bumps.

[goldiesguy82]

@alienboya sorry i could only give a +1

[cabbitsd]

@alienboya You know what? It's really not striking me as all that great... especially some of the arpeggiated parts that become quite dissonant against the main theme. It's not absolutely horrible, but for final level music, this seems a little weak, a little anticlimactic, even sluggish... it sounds like it needs more oomph, more push, more intensity, more freaking SOMETHING.

[AtomicFAILMediaTV]

@cabbitsd listen to the aracade version this song, its much faster and seems more like your facing your emanate doom.

[NigzBlackman]

i love how when this song starts , even the first time you hear it you know its time to get down to business.

[davism97]

When will we get to buy this game again?!  I want!

[GreyWolfyutuub]

I feel ashamed for putting this comment here, considering that I'll be writing the 65th comment on this page.

I feel like I have broken a binary law :(

This is one of my favorite 8-bit songs, even to this day it still is an awesome melody!

[tetohmu]

i prefer this NES version =)

[Superbattle54]

@charger69c Let's see. I made it to Shredder, but died because of his shrink rays. In Sunsoft's Batman for the nes, I got to only stage 4. So I say that Batman is harder.

[charger619c]

actually it does, but I don't have very many chances to use ninja turtles acronyms like "shut the shell up". I wonder what game is harder, batman or this one?

[KatanaSpirit]

about 20 years later and this track hasn't degraded one bit, its still the epitome of awesomeness.

[Dibbid]

I like both the original and this version. This is a more chilled out, groovier version, whereas the arcade one has an urgent ass-kick feel to it. To each his own.

[henkman00]

isnt this from Batman'89 Nes? sounds alot like it.

[charger619c]

@henkman00 shut the shell up

[henkman00]

@charger619c

doesnt this sound like Batman'89 Nes? sounds alot like it!

[chugdog]

mayn! when i was 9, i would play this shiznit with my brother CO-OP and kill shredder! haha daym!

[bwusa]

This song really makes you feel like a hero.

[AnthonyPhillipAvila]

i hated this game!!!

[pumpkinking99]

@AnthonyPhillipAvila do you have a soul?

[BiggRobb1982]

I'm gonna freestyle rap to this track and put it on a CD. I betcha this shit is gonna be FIRE!!!

[thestutteringrapper]

oh my god i think this is the last stage. this stage and music was awsome and i always got butterfly cause i knew i would be facing shedder and the big brain dude.

super scary! but awsome

[KIFulgore]

I love old NES music :). You can really tell this comes from the same sound libraries as Contra and Castlevania... used to be able to tell companies apart just from the sound of their games.

[TheKiyardo]

People really need to start remixing these themes.

[kristopher081]

It doesn't ever sound right. The original always sounds better.

[dNaForever1127]

@kristopher081 yep. cant beat the original.

[MusicByproduct]

@TheKiyardo Planning to fully remix (every track) of NES TMNT2 late this year. Been on my to-do list for ages but I think I'll finally have time for it now. :)

[dNaForever1127]

@MusicByproduct badass idea! gooodluck. :)

[add275]

cool music! just like dr. wily stage 1 in rockman 2!!! perfect!!!

[jbbentley83]

Let's Kick Shell!

[DrJohnCockwalrus]

The only video game theme I like more than this one is Dr. Wily's Stage I in Mega Man 2.

This song fucking kicks ass.

[Genmaken712]

If you like that song, you'll love the version in Rockman 1~6 Rock Arrange Ver. 20th Anniversary. It's track #4, "Dr.Wily 1 (Rockman2) mix". In fact, the whole CD is just great, highly recommendable :)

[Kyithios]

Both songs of which have never been remixed or arranged enough.

[idkfa7500]

this song is the shit

[PANORAMAPEPSI]

this music is kick my ass like someone :)

[dfdown]

Konami ftw.

[miler2001]

is there a tab of this theme???

[deadmetalbr]

such an incredible "last level" theme. Too bad the music for Krang and Shredder wasn't as cool as this.

[apxeli]

I disagree. This song is one of the best in this game, but so is Shredder theme. I used to have it as a wakeup-tune in my mobile phone. :)

[viper08500]

in your mobile phone lol

I had the music of super metroid, brinstar zone in it too!

[Genmaken712]

It's been 15 years since the last time I played this game, and I still remember every single note from this song! NES music is awesome, and Konami is responsible for many of those nice memories. Games like this one, the Castlevania saga for NES and many others show the importance of the music in the entire gaming experience. Thanks for allowing us to bring that back Hebreke!!!

[Beremor]

I can't even come close to explain how right you are. 100% agreed on every single point. Except for the 15 years ... 9 years here :D

[Genmaken712]

Thanks for your comment!!! Honestly, I was afraid of not being understood when I wrote that, because english isn't my native language (probably you've already realized that, hehe), but through your words I can see that my message was clear enough (or barely clear at least, hehe). It's nice to meet other people with the same memories from our childhood :D

[Beremor]

Well, it isn't my native language either, but english isn't that hard to understand ... Especially on the internet ;D

Thanks a lot for the thumbs-up.

[viljamtheninja]

Your english is better than that of many, many native english speaking people on youtube.

[Genmaken712]

Thanks!!! You make me feel a little less ashamed, hehe. It's always nice to meet people with the same taste for classic games OSTs :)

[Queedtwo]

@Genmaken712 ashamed!? i'm gonna blast this shit in my car

[Genmaken712]

@Queedtwo Great idea! I've just put it as my phone ringtone :)

[GreyWolfyutuub]

@Queedtwo

Exactly!

[nickthestick26]

This is probably my favorite video game area theme of all time. :)

This game (particularly the arcade version) has a lot of really good ones, as does Tales of the Abyss for PS2.

[indigograves]

8-bit drums pwn

[calamaty]

When I finally unlocked the TMNT arcade game on the new TMNT PS2 game. I was disappointed since the original arcade songs weren't included. I remembered this song while I fought in the Technodrome. Better than the two songs in the unlocked game :P

[kassaja]

You had to beat general traag to get to krang and shredder @compsciguy

[CirqueDuFreak2000]

and the flamethrower lookalike is Granitor. And the shogun warrior is simply known as Shogun.

[lawofmatthew]

1 Player = 1 Turtle

2 Player = 2 Turtle

LOL!!!

[BASTARDUS1MAXIMUS]

I rememeber way back there was a stage select code. I think it was B.A.B.A. left, right. left, right. and start. I think that was it.

[RJN0607]

your close it was B A B A up down B A B A left right B A B A start (or select start if u were 2 play w/ a second player)

[compsciguy]

Awsome game! Does it remind you people of Zangiaff's street fighter USSR theme? It does me!

Also...who was that ...THING that you had to beat before you get to Krang and Shredder? And that Shogun warrior with all those leaping tigers and zombie hunthback things from the shogun stage? CREEP-Y! Looked like the Predator!!

[ltmittens]

some general, there was a factory lvl where you had to beat a look-a-like with a flamethrower

[42playaz]

Best music with the snow level 2nd

[pantherablaze]

that brings old memories, raphael was my favorite turtle

[mojovie]

This is one of if not THE BEST tracks in the game!

[WJJason]

They definitely saved the best stage music for last.

[HamtaroSonicHedgehog]

I Have the Arcade version of this music look in my account to see it. this is my favorite music in this game

[gottired2]

This was my favorite music of the game. I would sometimes just beat all of the foot's in the opening of the stage and just leave it going with the sound while I did my homework.

[EvilOstrich]

that's a pretty cool idea. I love the technodrome music. Easily my favorite from the game.

[gottired2]

I acually still have a working nintendo and this game. I play it sometimes. I've never beaten it without using the move where you hit A and B at the same time and kill footies in one hit

[EvilOstrich]

I no longer have it myself, but a good friend of mine still have this game and we play it once every couple of months. There's no way I could beat it without doing that A and B attack.

[Kermamorjens]

I kept repeating it over and over too.

[walou]

kool!
