Batman - Stage 1 song/Streets of Desolation (NES/Nintendo)

[leonjak]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[Hikash]

Excellent music in this game.

[Johnlindsey289]

Awesome game but hard too, i did used a game genie. I got this game for christmas when i was 8 and been a Batman fan since 1989.

[thuggofdablock]

this needs a fucking guitar cover

[BlueRushAlt]

GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN ALFRED, MAKE ME A SANDWICH.

[ChatTripeForTripe]

So many memories. I miss the old days... :'(

[TheALEJANDROXI]

De los mejores juegos del antiguo nes y muy adelantado a su epoca, gran historia, movilidad, musica por supuesto, lo mejor de Batman.

[Ninjistic]

This game is way better than arkham city or arkham asylum

[Johnlindsey289]

@Ninjistic

What makes you say that? those are the best Batman games ever

[587DeathKing]

I played this theme while I was running around and kicking ass in Arkham City

[bustaboy46]

games like this made me the gamer i am today before there were save points before there were good graphics and amazeing gameplay there was the once upon a time years back when the best game system was the nes going ferther back atari see i was born in 87 and a majority are gonna assume i dont know what im talking about but i have been playing video games since i was for as long as i can remember if i had to throw out a age i would say 3 so this is very fimiliar to me i will NEVER forget

[doubi07]

this needs to be dubstepped

[3227Francis]

que recuerdos

[gpelaez]

boulevard of the broken dreams? hell no, Streets of desolation it is!

[eyesgIazed]

there is a really good cover of this by the band The Advantage. They do a lot of NES covers... they're a NES cover band.

[moffatsghost]

@MikeLovesChoppers ah you mean "Journey To Silius"

[mainpaiges]

Loved this theme! Boy this takes me back. Reminds me of better days.

[Shyguy825]

This song should be in the Dark knight raises!

[Crisshomes1]

Because I'm Batman......  ' {-.-}'

[Jshaw71]

Great music, for a cool game, thanks for the upload, Used to have this game for my nes, I dunno what happened to it...

[forkaren100]

Incredible music

[esplodere]

awwwwww yeeeeeeaaaahh

[SuperBeautifulNoise]

Damn that takes me back. :)

[shioriryukaze]

one of my fav games...ever....

[viajerosdelabismo]

The music had a special power that let us remember our best memories of our life. Greetings and God bless you !! : )

[theGaminggrounds]

Christ...this makes me remember my childhood all over again. Those were the days!

[patz2509]

one of the best ost i ever heard in my life

i hate this game by the difficulty but i love for the exellent soundtrack, i played several times but i never tired

[TaePoDongIII]

WOOOOOOO!!! Brings back memories of kicking ass and vice versa!

[KingPHONICS]

holyyyyyyyyyyyy shhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiit

[xCOxDYx0780]

Woo... now that's a good tune.

[sittingduhk]

the drumroll at 0:06 is so fucking exciting

[glitchedgamer]

Do you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[SharksRule86]

@glitchedgamer HAHA!

[EmbraceYourDemise]

I remember playing this game when I was little and remembered this song instantly. Games were a lot harder back then, or at least made you play through them all in one sitting.

[metalguy33]

I want to know something. I played this game when I was still a kid in the family system (not the original nes) . I really remember this song is from stage 2, not stage 1 like we can hear on the emulators, not at least in family version. Maybe they switched the songs from one version to another, could be that possible?

[wuchicdo]

@metalguy33 they probably did change it, but this is song from the 1st stage

[johngibelyou]

Joker-Bob........gun Bob.

[SyKoSyMaTiK]

2 people are Joker's henchmen who still have a bad taste in their mouths. lol.

[NecroArmorLink]

this song is chiptune bliss

[ilanmagic]

Great music. One of the best NES themes

[GalaxiaShadow]

these songs sorta remind me of musics from Tecmo I love it :D

[Infamous256]

One of the hardest NES games of all time.

[devilwolv666]

i love having sex with my gf to this music!

[shinmario]

@devilwolv666 FUCKING EPIC!!

[bonillaboni]

get dance! XD ♪♪♫♫♪

[tbrian420]

This sounds incredible on headphones

[joeriginal]

I remember not eating and sweating just to finally kill the joker. Yes, hell of a theme.

[pyramidhead138]

@joeriginal i think the joker shouldve had his own theme. as hard as he was

[Djedayy]

Моя любимая музыка

[Sabin06]

ahh this song brings back soo much memories as kid lol

[Incrue]

@DrPepper797 Nolan's batman is a piece of gay trash, it don't deserve this music.

[DrPepper797]

@Incrue that's true

[NYCPulpHero]

@Incrue gay. okay. yeah, he's flouncing, flaming and swishy. dumbass.

[Incrue]

@NYCPulpHero he don't kills, he is a politically correct pussy, a faggot that let that bitch katie holmes almost spit on him, and he acts like a little girl crying for gordon and alfred to help him all the time.Yeah he's a pussy and weak character, made to please the pussy and weak masses, made by idiots like you.

[Johnlindsey289]

@Incrue

What do you think of Burton's Batman and Batman The Animated Series?

[Incrue]

@Johnlindsey289 The best ones ever.Unlike Nolan's Batman, Burton's Batman don't ask for help from everybody like a little girl, don't talk like a retard and is not idiot enough to belive the todays's politically correct crap about not killing the ones who deserve to die.

[Johnlindsey289]

@Incrue

Batman TAS that was an awesome and quite adult superhero animated show eh? it came out ever near prime time and earned all audiences mainly adults and teens. Kevin Conroy was awesome as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Mark Hamil was badass as Joker right? Dark Knight Rises looks like the best of the new movies since it has Bane and Catwoman.

[Incrue]

@Johnlindsey289 yeah, TAS rocks, and because it was inspired in Burton's Batman.

My bet about Dark Knight Rises is, Batman will still be an idiot and catwoman will kick his ass.Time will tell.

[Johnlindsey289]

@Incrue

Do you think Hathaway will be as good as Pfiefer, Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and Andrienne Barbeau (Catwoman on TAS) when it comes to Catwoman? hopefully the new Bane will be as badass as he was in the comics and not the joke in Batman and Robin.

[Incrue]

@Johnlindsey289 1: no. 2:yes

[Mario0Dante]

I remember playing this game as a kid...IT WAS HARD AS HELL....but great game and music...ahh good times...

[joeriginal]

@Mario0Dante lol, same here. The guy before the Joker was harder for me.

[PieceOfGraffiti]

I want this to my ringtone ! 

[SangramVFX]

Please any one Tell me .. who z d music director(composer)?

[NucleaRaptor]

@SangramVFX

Naoki Kodaka. Look him up, he's fucking awesome.

[SangramVFX]

Memories.. !

[SneakyStumpy]

blam you joker and penguin for the 2 dislikes

[c7oud1]

Thsi game was amazing back when it came out! It's as hard as a Ron Jeremy video though!

[whaowman]

Believe it or not, in my cartridge, this music plays in stage 2. And stage 2 music plays in stage 1. What the fuck!?

[DonAlexisman]

T__T I cried playing this game

[TheQuantomX]

2 people tell bad jokes.

[HemiHokie311]

The Joker and Catwoman dislike this theme song



[agueci13]

this them is almost as good as megaman music which means its sikkkk

[ilili666]

I feel it again. I'm 6 years old =)

[Superstarluigi83]

IM BATMAN!!!!

[SuperWario094]

still doesnt beat the original 60s batman theme

[alxxx1976]

Que viva la musica de 8bit. the best music of NES.

[LichKingSkullWart]

I remember using the battarang!

[Ninja187Rules]

This is the very best song ever of all time. Fact.

[rammsteinjunkie91]

Ahhh the nostalgia! :)

[TheMaikel24]

My very first game :-) and i still have it...

[highintel]

Lots of key Changes and cool melodies ! No wonder I was an Yngwie fan!!! This is like Neoclassical for NES. Actually it's more like Vinnie Moore.

[highintel]

Lots of key Changes and cool melodies ! No wonder I was an Yngwie fan!!! This is like Neoclassical for NES.

[carnage2681]

Damn, I always thought i was the only one who love this tune, liked it nearly 20 years ago as I play the game, and now I find here metal covers and other remixes....great !

[SuperTurhapuro]

One hell of a theme song.

[tmh1717]

after all these years I just notice that this is 8 bit heavy metal lol

[kaiokenssj]

uno de los mejores juegos de nes que he jugado, ademas que su musica es increible

[Lecarde86]

this song Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skedardestroyer]

These tracks are awesome...but why no danny elfman kinda stuff? Clearly the game uses the movie for inspiration .Just because they would have sounded 8 bit?

[breadrack]

I loved the music for this game - it was one of the first i really went WOW over the music for though, as a friend was playing. I always wanted him to play it because while i could never (but maybe one time) beat the 2nd set of boards, he was very good @ it... and then i could sit and enjoy the good music :)

Just remixed a batman track (amongst other nes stuff) so check it out if you like oldschool vgmusic, you might just heart something you like. Cheers mate & Great tunage!

[Blackisto]

To me the best soundtrack for any Batman game. <======= THIS

[nothing980454]

@Blackisto This is a GREAT batman game soundtrack but Batman:Return of the Joker for the NES has a better soundtrack, in my humble opinion.

[Alucard777ablaze]

This song started playing in my head again and I haven't played it since five years. Dis is the best track in the game from my opinion.

[csSpetzNaz]

SOME! MAKE A DUBSTEP REMIX OF THIS PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SONG WUD SOUND SO FUCKING AWESOME DUBSTEPPED!!!!

[alxxz]

Excellent track!

I used to play through this game on my good ‘ol NES back in the day! Still own the cartridge! A truly epic game with some of the best music around only equalled with the Ninja Gaiden series on the NES.

[DarkSoujirox]

i love this game.

[dtadeo2006]

this is stage 2 music in the original japanese version

[rijleader11]

@dtadeo2006 which is the first one then?

[dtadeo2006]

@rijleader11 the stage 2 music of the u.s. version (watch?v=giJPhqRVGbo), meaning they were simply switched around. dunno why they do these kinda things...

[bakismannen]

epic :):):)

[Blackisto]

probably one of the best soundtrack ever for a video game !

love it

[Edwyn88]

simply nostalgic! 

[qiqiqiiq]

better than arkham asylum LOL

[abcdefh1992]

@qiqiqiiq no

[psycho642]

It's kinda sad that this old 8-bit song is better than the new music these days everyone likes..like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga

[arakitai]

@psycho642 Hey, don't be hatin' on Lady Gaga - that poor man needs therapy.

[psycho642]

@arakitai  lol..and don't forget that little girl Bieber..he needs help too

[heyou16]

THIS SONG IS SOOO SICK, I'VE WAITED YEARS TO HEAR THIS, THANKS MAN

[Plastico05]

Does anybody know where i can download this song

[Eddyles]

There was nothing like switching on the NES on a Saturday morning as a kid and playing through an entire game. Even if the game froze or you got your ass kicked, you just accepted it and restarted the game. I really think that taught me a bit of patience and discipline. We now live in an age of instant gratification and expecting everything for nothing. Times sure have changed - nothing will ever beat the 90s. They were the golden years.

[radujko]

@Eddyles haha so true I really feel bad for kids born today, because today sucks.

[SyBabyProductions]

@Eddyles You mentioned patience and discipline. Kids these days do not have that. If there's not an autosave or checkpoint every five seconds, then "This game stinks!" Back when we were kids, like when playing "Batman," you had to develop strategy, tread lightly, and be determined to go on. The rewards weren't avatar clothes, points to buy more bad games, but the satisfaction of winning. I'll take my hard-as-rocks "Batman" over just about any game of this new generation.

[CookDrinkEat]

@SyBabyProductions Fucking agreed. I generally won't play a game these days if I have too much padding. That's why I don't play games like Zelda unless it's a three heart challenge.



[kayline87]

@SyBabyProductions dude remember solomon's key? talk about a classic pain in the ass haha i was so pumped when infinally finished that

[DougB541]

@SyBabyProductions II love this game as much as the next person, but lets be real..i would hate if games were still made like this. We just trudged through because you got one game every 6 months lol. Besides, play a game like COD on veteran and you'll get this kind of ridiculous frustration.

[SyBabyProductions]

@DougB541 Yeha, I think you're right. Batman serviced its purpose for its time. I never beat the game, it's so hard. But it was from an era when you, the gamer, got so much satisfaction out of doing your best. I do wish we had achievements to brag to our friends back in the day. Modern achievements are cool and are great for bragging rights, but those of us from that period will always remember the anonymous joy we received when our struggles paid off.

[DougB541]

@SyBabyProductions Well said. Its nice we still get challenging games...like Mr and Ms. Splosion man or Super Meatboy...but its tough to with the internet era. A lot of people will simply default ot the internet if they get stuck somewhere...in the past it was at the lunch table with friends talking about the games haha. Good times indeed. Its funny, I forgot how hard Megaman was back in the day cause when I tried playing it again i just stopped immedaitly haha.

[SolidMike84]

@SyBabyProductions

Ah-men

[Moledmc]

@SyBabyProductions yes!

[stupormundi7]

@SyBabyProductions So true, i'm 32 and i know what you mean...

[glitchedgamer]

@SyBabyProductions So true. There is a reason my NES gets more playtime than any other console.

[TheOmi3333]

@SyBabyProductions well said /salute

[Johnlindsey289]

@SyBabyProductions

Ever played the new Batman games? awesome games for Batman fans

[Rougamaru]

@Eddyles correction, the 90's were the last of the golden years.

I've always considered the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's

to be the golden years of the united states of america.

I agree whole heartedly with everything else you said though.

[SchitzzEnGiggles]

@Rougamaru leaving out the 50's!!!thats when it all officially started!now the media and the government are calling the shots on EVERYTHING :/

[Rougamaru]

@SchitzzEnGiggles I see it like this:

50'S: stuff is ascending unto awesomeness.

60'S, 70'S, & 80'S: pure awesomeness!

90'S: when everything leveled out at the top.

turn of the millenium: everything started going downhill.

[Dac719]

@Eddyles I agree 100%. And, I don't like how times have changed since then.  I wish things were back to those days again.

[ToTzIK]

the advantage made a good cover to this song lol

[AMF1534]

@language8997 You can also go to vidtomp3.com and do it there too.

[csSpetzNaz]

omg this wud sound so fucking kickass remixed with dubstep! does any1 kno if they did that?

[bart123levo]

I was born too late. Those were the days, I hear that from people all the time, I wish i was alive then to experience it when it came out. fuck all the new consoles, NES is and will be the best forever..

[TEARIZONE]

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO A REAL GAMERS EARS 90"S BABY

[rpmasse01]

I remembrer back in the time, I was very young and not able to beat the first stage so I heard that song a lot of times and I still love it. Definitely in the top 10 of best NES theme song!

[Markynaz]

This game was harder than Ninja Gaiden III.........

[Nightquesst]

that's awesome

[Ericnorify]

best nes theme ever!!

[megagrey]

A shame this is not available on Wii's virtual console

[SethTheArcticFox92]

@megagrey

For shame... -.-

[toxicitzi]

@megagrey well probably nintendo wii couldn't add to the brawl batman, that would something to laugh about ^^

the coming back of Adam West even more campier then ever before :P

[rkhussain]

my friend had sega genesis when it was so expensive and my dad (rest in peace) couldn't afford it for me and i didnt blaim,he bought cartridges for me for my success in my annual exams i loved it and my friend he had genesis and had batman but when he saw this he requested me for the exchange of genesis with my console for a week this game fulfilled my wish i love this game

[MMZERO9]

Why couldn't they have put this song in Arkham Asylum somehow?

[demonkai76]

Still a hot tune. would love a cool Bionic Commando rearmed sorta remix from that guy if it was ever to come to XBL & PSN

[chibato]

yeeeeaaaah i remenber this song very cool aaaa yhat old days

[Sailorchunli17]

my brother and me love this game

[SolidMike84]

I played this game before I saw the movie & I read the comic adaption of the movie before I saw the movie! XD

Awesome game!

[alanvamp]

hard game

[YBXizBeeast]

brings back memories.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

Incredible.

[MIGUEL97808]

CLASSIC......

[Hellcure]

This game was 1 hard SOB best music too for the nes

[GokuSuperSayianJin]

Omg memorieeees :')

ive spend days on this game :D 5/5 and fave

[Omegax9000]

this needs to be the batman theme

[Mickael23y]

I hum this tune whenever I play with my 1989 batman figure ;-D

[beastdude507]

My brotha from anotha mutha

[KinisonisKing]

I own this game, and love this music. To me the best soundtrack for any Batman game.

[alanvamp]

@KinisonisKing me too one of the best batman ever made

[UNSUNGBAND]

@KinisonisKing I was just playing this the other day! ^^;

[mamuso1968]

@KinisonisKing Not only the best soundtrack in NES BATMAN game (read my lips, because the soundtrack of the BATMAN in the Sega Genesis is superb... oh.. i love that bass!!!) but the best soundtrack in a NES game.. regardless the supersoundchip mounted in the Japanese Castlevania III game.

[SparklesofUnity]

@KinisonisKing check out the genesis original video game as well, same music composer too.

[BayAreaThrasher83]

Whenever I hear cool sounding NES music like this I always try to imagine what it would sound like if a band was playing it. (guitars, bass, and drums)

[hulken]

Check out The advantage, they make all your imaginations reality =)

[coldblood26]

is it just me or is this tune sounds a bit fast? I know it was many years and years ago but I remember it like it was a bit slower ♫

[BayAreaThrasher83]

Yes, this is what it sounded like in the game.

[xXRonanN1Xx]

Memories! Wooooo!

[marceloinvest]

greatest nes song ever!

[skypicy]

legendary..love it !

[evisceration]

where can I download this song? I really would like this as a ringtone for my phone

[Agadalif]

best game song ever, up there with the first castlevania song

[MIGUEL97808]

ademas tiene una buena historia y una excelente musica........

[MIGUEL97808]

BATMAN es sin duda uno de los mejores juegos de la nintendo....

[swl9380]

one of my fav theme songs in game, gets u pump up for the game

[Phalystrix]

This song is called "Streets of Desolation"

[art11art12]

the old music is better because it was all unique to the company...now a days it's all orchestrated by the same programs or done in the same fashion....you had to be really creative back then and it could be interpreted different as to what beep and blip was the instrument you wanted it to be...Perfect example, I have not enjoyed Mario music since Super Marioworld, it lost it's up beat tempo and tone...Galaxy music is prime example of how more does not mean better.

[hitthemhard]

you have a point, apart from all the metal gear solid and final fantasy series music, new school games music eint that good. ... Nobody can compare an 8bit megaman soundtrack to a new school, back then was more original, it gets u hype
