My Top Ten NES Tunes

[dakatubes]

megaman is ALWAYS in first position. still nice songs :P

i prefer beginning in castlevania 3, and in metal gear the alarm "!" theme.

and i haven't heard thet "bucky o' hare", is pretty good!

and, oh yeah, the first one, probably the BEST boss battle theme ever >X)

I recommend you this: choijin sentai jetman - area A ; Ninja gaiden level 4-2 ; mitsume ga tooru level 5-3 ; shatterhand last area. :P

[Toopelius]

@dakatubes Alright, that Ninja Gaiden song I know for sure but I have to check out the rest of your recommendations.

[Toopelius]

@dakatubes And pretty damn nice recommendations they were, thanks. I must listen more of 'em, especially Choujin Sentai Jetman. Anyway, this is pretty old video and my list would look very different now. I think I should make a top 100 or something to get all my favorite songs in it.

[dakatubes]

@Toopelius top 100 ? that would be AWESOME! I doubt I could ever make something like that xD, I only made my top 30 megaman themes, which is outdated :P ( and a top 10 nes which is really outdated )

here are some more: Journey to silius - level 1 ; legendary wings - stage 3 ; mighty final fight - stage 1 ;

I hope you make that video! :D

[Toopelius]

@dakatubes I can't promise anything yet. It will surely take a lot of time if that is going to be made someday.

[Toopelius]

@wowmusicftw1 Never played Rush'n Attack but just listened some of it's music and I gotta agree, that music kicks ass.

[TeamRocketReviews]

@Toopelius Listen to the Commodore 64 version (it was called Green Beret on the C64). Way better in every way.

[Ro3NiN]

congraturation!?

[hotrodharry11]

metal gear=gay choice

[dakatubes]

number one is epic, that game is awesome, and the OST is amazing.

[Kyuureisan]

Faxanadu, best game ever... last stage gave me nightmare as a child!

[Jama7301]

Ah man, I haven't play World Cup on the NES in so many years... I really should dig that out one day...

[LivetysWiretys]

plz watch my top 10 nes game music! they are kickass! i promise different than the others! Plz Rate and comment and share and rate!

[Crispyconcerto]

I love meeting people who have ever heard of bucky ohare. its so rare that even its fans are rare.

[ZikkNixx]

Good to have Bucky O'Hare on one top 10 at least, that game is my number 9th best game ever

[Bedailop]

Heh, I just remembered this thing, I was a small kid, what, on age of 4? We were going to Los Angeles for a vacation, and our plane left late in the night and I got to play World Cup the whole evening to the late night ;D It was my favorite video game at the time. I can remember that Argentina's players ran REALLY fast :o But for this video, it certainly contents music that you don't see in other videos like this (not even Dr. Wily stage music, which is a plus, in a good way). Kiitti Toope ;)

[underthepale]

Oh, OF COURSE the one good song in Order of Ecclesia had to come from one of the NES Castlevania games...

Protoman's Castle ranks among my favorite game songs of all time.I know 5 is not widely loved, but it had some nice tunes, including this.

And Shadow of the Ninja is one of the forgotten gems of the NES. Then again, I'd say the same about Bucky O' Hare...

[capsuleboy]

you are the first of all old gamers that has ears.. the rest of best nes music videos suck ,man..

yet if I have to makea selection I'd surpass all youtubers, hehe

[yostoyou]

yay! shadow of the ninja. i loved that game. it was hard but very fun.

[Trapster2]

Ah, World Cup. I own that game. Great music and fun game.

[CHighwind]

Oh YEAH, my personal fav you ranked first! That song is amazing, the entire game is a blast to play.

[descenderofterresia]

Megaman 2 Dr. Wily Stage song is better than Darkman's in Megaman 5. Heck it should be somewhere in the top 3.

[Murschu]

Wohoo, World Cup pwnz ^^ Can't understand why it is so seldom chosen to top 10.

[worldrummer]

level 7 of blaster master. so overlooked. well, the whole game was solid. level six is excellent as well.

[Cyghfer]

best nes top 10 songs i've seen on youtube. the kage, blaster master, bucky, and mega man songs are all among my very favorite videogame songs that tend to go unmentioned

[irm1229]

I am so glad to see at least one mega man song on there, gotta be my favorite series of game and soundtrack too haha

[Marcelothaiboy]

I lije it man, i like it!

[pirodirty]

i would have been seriously mad if bucky o'hare didnt appear at least once on this list. im glad it did tho

[Toopelius]

Yep, that game has great soundtrack.

[hecclau]

OMG BUCKY O HARE !!!

[desconocidos27]

i appreciate what you did. chose other tracks that are not the typical fan favs'. i hadnt heard some of these in a minute...

[bregowine]

Nice music... you avoided neuralgic classics, but still put some 8 bit jewels

[polaronunam]

congraturation!

[DIMMUSAKURABA]

WOW! Damn, the Castlevania 3 song is sick! Never heard that before, glad I watched this video and happened to stumble upon something like that. That song has the type of melodies that intrigue me.

[Toopelius]

That song is actually Akumajou Densetsu version. It has a bit different sound to "normal" Castlevania 3 because it has enhanced sound chip or something like that.

[GTA2SWcity]

Well, also the NES (supposedly) didn't have all the sound channels the famicom did.

Is it true the famicom also had the save capability?

Anyway...@video: Ah, Faxanadu, excellent game if I do say so myself. Ending was alittle rushed and bare, however it was still worth playing.

CV3: I liked both versions of this song.

[mirabilis]

the save feature was built into the carts, not the system. does that answer the question? ;)

[GTA2SWcity]

Fo-sho, bro. *thumb up*

[Bobban]

@DIMMUSAKURABA yeah!!! its awesome. if i heard that at a club i would dance dance dance.

[CuteLucario]

LOL Günther!

[CuteLucario]

YES! Germany in World Cup against the russian!

Love these Game and Bucky o Hare! The second game is one of my hardest games I have!

The hardest is Snake Rattle ´n´ Roll!

Great music choise!

[quanhongbo]

the last music is really good

[SecondandTwo]

no Megaman ? youre crazy

[mega1megaman1freak]

it had one of megaman + he sayd he will put stuff u dont often hear in top 10 (idiot)

[0verseer]

I got BlueShadow - Boss fight as my ringtone on my phone actually :P It owns!

[Felixweirdalfan]

Blaster Master! That's one of my favorite NES games! Also the Bucky o' hare song owns! The list is awesome!

[Toopelius]

Thanks a lot! Blaster Master is also one of my favourite games.

[gorat13]

mega man sucks!!!

[Toopelius]

For me Megaman, Castlevania and World Cup were the greatest games as a kid.

[setch05]

wow gorat13 can kiss my ass, MEGA MAN OWNS!

[Gigabowser4]

God , i love bucky o hare!

But where is zelda theme :(

[jrock714]

how about some "wizards & warriors" - that was great music.

[Toopelius]

I have never really played wizards & warriors, maybe I have tried it once but thats it. I'm sure I missed many great tunes that should belong here because I haven't played the game.

[ronmower]

Heck yeah Proto Mans castle.

Metal Gear: I FEEL ASLEEP!

[bpeck77]

You got me with the Metal Gear theme! That's a classic! It brought 1988 vividly back to my mind...

[Toopelius]

Yes it's classic! When playing game you rarely hear the whole great song because of the encounters...

[bfitnessjoe]

Its a good list. I am glad you didnt put the infamous MEGAMAN and NINJA GAIDEN series in it knowing that they are in a league of their own when it comes to game music because they were always going to be on NINTENDO's best NES game list:D

[LordelX]

Alot of unknown pieces here. Good picks though.

[genocyde83]

I like the fact you went differently with this list. You hit some I forgot about, especially world cup. I like to be different too, and its great not hearing the same 5 or 6 songs from someone elses list. This shows you are an in depth gamer and you have my respect.

[Toopelius]

Yeah, it's kinda boring when super mario 1 overworld etc. are in every list. Many not so famous games have great soundtracks too.

[Brandonk917]

i wish legend of zelda overworld theme was in

[Toopelius]

Good theme for sure but... No room in this list!

[topazshot88]

I'm surprised you didn't have Wily Stage 1 from Megaman 2 on here. Of course, EVERYONE knows that song.

I'm glad that more overlooked games like Faxanadu, Nintendo World Cup, and especially Destiny of an Emperor were on your list.

Though why were you using West Germany's super shot? It goes over the goal half of the time! It's not easy to catch like Cameroon's cruise-stop, but it's not Italy's godly psychic ball.

Ah, sorry. Nintendo World Cup makes me rant. Mostly the ending.

[Toopelius]

To be honest I think MM2 Wily stage 1 has maybe best video game music ever, but as you said everyone knows it.

Destiny of an Emperor is really good game, I personally think it's better than FF1 (I guess you can compare those two).

West Germany for couple of reasons: 1. It looks cool. 2. 5 steps and shoot and there's your super shot. Italy for example takes 9 steps before super shot. Well, you really shouldn't do that jump scissor kick thing with W.Germany.

Thanks for good comments!

[topazshot88]

Italy does need to take 9 steps for the psychic ball, but if I remember right, Don has to take 3 steps for the same ball.

Of course, Don's best left in the goal because he's slow, but...

[Toopelius]

Ah, I didn't know that... But I checked and you're right! That sure is better than W.Germany's super. And Don sure looks most italian in the game.

[ZyklnAeon]

not the more famous themes but all awesomes

[Toopelius]

Yep, I wanted to include some rarer stuff. Now afterwards thinking there were couple of songs that I feel I should have put here but oh well. What's done is done.

[RudJohns]

Congraturation? :O

[Toopelius]

Haha, yeah that one had to be included!

[carljenk]

Gotta love Engrish xD

[TenchiFanatic3]

bucky o hare i forgot all about that game but i remeber that they had an arcade version like 4 plp could play like an old TMNT game or battle toads.

[Toopelius]

Never heard about that before but sounds like fun stuff to play.

[TenchiFanatic3]

which one the battle toads ? or the 4 player bucky o hare one?

[Toopelius]

4 player Bucky O'Hare was the one I meant. I only know that NES version and thats very nice game.

[TenchiFanatic3]

hmm because i do remeber in being in an arcade, and that it ate my quarters like battle toads.

[Ahaa92]

Nice video. I stink that you are cool. I mean I think. See you in hell... p.s. I remember that picture I took from you my whole life. Sinä SURKEA!

[Toopelius]

Thanks bro
