Shinobi III Music - Japonesque

[jpyr0304]

best tracks

1.izayoi

2.japonesque

3.inner darkside

4.shinobi walk

5.he runs

[ish233]

@jpyr0304 Yeah, I agree with you on this, but some other to mention are Ninja Soul. The Break beat is like a meditative dance once in the groove. The other Mandara, explosive but slightly settling combo

[Grindgodgrind]

@ish233 Idaten is probably my favourite, it just screams 'action!'

[ish233]

@Grindgodgrind the top comment makes it sound correct, it definitely puts in a running feel, so on point. Action, yeah, sounds about right

[SuperAdventures]

I like the reoccuring melody between the game's BGM's first established with this opening level music. Pretty neat.

[personman1228]

GODDAMMIT WHERES DAT START BUTTON?!?!

[Rhyas9]

Proof you don't need the latest HD sound systems and equipment to crank out hits :]

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

I hope this composer comes back to do the OST for the new shinobi game remix for the new gen......

haha i always wondered (jokingly) if the composer got in ninja clothes to do his music...You definitely feel the ninja vibe in the BGM

[pnsc24]

This is so... japonesque..

[BlackDorianGray]

Invencibility: Go to sound test and play He Runs, Japonesque, Shinobi Walk, Sakura and Getufu.

If you ever made this, thumb up.

But, of course, all the fun is in finishing the game without tricks. XD

[LetsGo6009]

Always reminds me of Shinobi running through the woods at a 45 degree angle

[cesarrlobo]

@LetsGo6009 so true!

[ALLhailBRITANNIA714]

I miss shinobi

[syxodude91]

Loved the grassy level where this played, the rock level with the birdman not so much.

[Julienfun]

@BlackKnightJ1108 I understand your pain D=

[shadowflame68]

This was one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks so much for putting these soundtracks up here!

[nodnyl10]

great times. glad that this music was used for 2 stages in the game. though the 2nd one was hard since it is an epic stage where ninjas jumping out of falling rocks!

[Gamervision1]

one of the best games for the sega mega drive

[genmaslayer147]

when i listen to this song i feel like Joe Musashi killing other ninja with only my ninjato

[02uno]

shinobi 3 has some of the best music ive herd in a game

[adamsjay212]

I Feel young again >D

[chef123]

the level with the rocks falling went really well with this music, i mean it was epic

[spideymayne]

@chef123 With the bat ninja? Yeah, that level was crazy. Classic, classic game.

[chef123]

@spideymayne

It was hard if you didn't know where those bat things came from.

[lavabone]

@spideymayne lol batmayne against spideymayne

[grimya]

Love it ^^

[pedrleo]

this cartridge box says shinobi II but didnt they count shadow dancer as shinobi ii, like the title screen of the game?

[robto]

I´m just 21 Years Old but I remember very well playing this game along time ago, as well others genesis games. these tracks bring me back a lot of good memories and a sense of nostalgia. This were indeed good old times, but video games today are better, no doubt of it.

[pedrleo]

@robto but less creative and less dynamic. Its just point and shoot a gun... (sure, we have exceptions but this is the main rule)

[InfurnusChaotix]

Did Yuzo Koshiro have anything to do with the music? This REALLY Reminds me of Streets of Rage.

[MastaGambit]

@InfurnusChaotix According to the tracks I downloaded from Galbadia Hotel, he had a part in almost all the Shinobi 3 music.

[jacksprat1990]

@InfurnusChaotix He didn't have anything to do with Shinobi 3's soundtrack. He did the music for Revenge of Shinobi/Super Shinobi and that's probably why it's 1 million times better than this soundtrack.

[vgm4u]

@InfurnusChaotix Nope this was a different composer. Yuzo was going to do themusic but Sega wanted a different feel to this game.

[HelloKittyKrazy]

ahahah memories!! Sugoi!

[ish233]

Yo Renegade, you know if these artists did anything else besides this ere' soundtrack... like other albums beyond the video game realm. I'm curious. It seems I have to speak Japanese or learn it, because I can't read it to look stuff up. Oh yeah, You may like some sounds of Super r type ( snes), Battletoads in battlemaniacs (snes), tmnt 1 ( nes)

[Renegade466isback]

@ish233

Masayuki Nagao also did Sonic 2 (Game Gear), Robotniks Mean Bean Machine, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles

The other two, not much

[ish233]

@Renegade466isback

Cool, I'll have to take a look. You got em' in your playlists ?

[AlexSmashX2]

@Renegade466isback  No wonder sonic 3 & knuckles sound track was amazing.

[GOLDsonic105]

This music is so amazing that I just came.

[Inuzadrop]

i loved this game mainly due to the song of the first stage. Epic gem of a game right here.

[terrell121989]

o and street of rage

[terrell121989]

this game brings back so many memories along with contra, sonic, and shining force

[Madworldify]

Playing this game on my PS3 brings me back so many memories with the Genesis ^_^

[bandkaih]

those sega cats killed tha synthesizer on this one!!!

[dimviesel]

rin,hyo,tou,sha,kai,jin,retsu,­zai,zen!

[Mineyurn]

aaahhh The first stage, mos def gets you hype for some ass woopins!!

[StDAMAN27]

man neva even played this game, bt this theme izzz HOT!!!! bro ^_^

[Renegade466isback]

lmao me neither man

[grb20690]

its a pretty cool game, quite addictive and hard u could download the rom lol i did (like i usually do)

[Mineyurn]

wait, dude, you have the entire soundtrack to this game, and you've never played it before, wtf?? are you posin?? lol!!

[Renegade466isback]

I just upload good music feel meh

[Renegade466isback]

Ive already got it, I was disapointed that a few of my favourites arent on there though, namely Toejam & Earl and earthworm jim

[motherplayer]

True. Heaven pray they make a followup for the rest. i was wondering where Gunstar heroes was.

[straightMKchamp]

It's available over xbla, just not sure about the quality. Luckly I got the cart for the genesis

[AlexSmashX2]

I prefer the games on the genesis...i like to play the originals.

[straightMKchamp]

That's exactly how I feel

[GoldsteinsBook]

It's a great collection, but where the hell was Afterburner II, Revenge of Shinobi, and, as you said, Gunstar Heroes (I had to purchase that and download it separately over XBLA)? I mean, did the world REALLY need to be reminded of Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle and Chuck D. Head?

[Rodlikespants]

:( :(

the genesis really did have awesome games, and I REALLY lamented the loss of gunstar heroes, but at least there was shinobi III.

And if we're talking non-sega third party games (which of course wouldn't happen), I wouldn't mind seeing rocket knight adventures, castlevania bloodlines, and strider on a collection

[GoldsteinsBook]

Yeah. You know they're making a new Rocket Knight game for X-Box Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, right? I can't wait until that shit comes out!

[Rodlikespants]

oh I didn't know PSN was getting it too, I thought it was just XBL !!

[jarnefeldt85]

im also missing the combo of "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" ..

[Renegade466isback]

yeah that was a big miss. Oh and I still have tons of the cartridges somewhere too

But playing on Xbox Live is just incredible. escpecially Golden Axe or SOR

[jarnefeldt85]

oh well my xbox died on me a few weeks back..

i think they announced sonic and knuckles - and sonic 3 for xbla - most likely standalone i guess..

[xRocketzFighterx]

@Renegade466isback

Thats right the xbox live versions of golden axe and Streets of Rage are great since you can coop online but for the sonic games they are much better on actual cartridge or virtual console, I don't like the blue vintage sega menu for each game on xbox live arcade versions.

[Renegade466isback]

@xRocketzFighterx

yeah They should really allow a classic skin as an option too, I miss the basic black background, call me old fashioned lol

[xRocketzFighterx]

@Renegade466isback

lol me and everyone here should agree to that, the old black background was much better than seeing the flashy blue sega menu and the menu in Sega/Sonics Ultimate Megadrive/Genesis collection had a pretty good game selection menu.

[shaqatk4884]

@jarnefeldt85 not to toot a horn but the wii vitrtul consol now has lock on upon perchase if you have a wii that is.

[mummyheadGamma]

This one is pretty groovy.

(Unrelated, but I can't believe my spell check recognizes groovy as an actual word. I thought it was closer to a slang term.)

[Valis77]

Yesss! Yess!!!

[CaptainAppleManFilms]

@Valis77 This is delicious!

[Valis77]

@CaptainAppleManFilms yep

[ClassicVGM]

Excellent
