[psychoshaneo]

Your #1 is also my #1...cheers.

[StewNWT]

hrm it's definitely missing Happy Cat Factory 'stage J' from Rescue Rangers

[popceed]

great list, dr mario kept my busy for years...

[capus22]

I think you got most of the songs from Screw Attack's list ( Mega man, Duck Tales, Super Mario and Cupid were some)

[Nudelgang]

2:48-3:20 what is this song I can't get it out of my head and I am searching it quite a while and I finally found it but dunno what it called :(

[travisandhugo]

@Nudelgang DUDE LOOK UP LEGEND OF ZELDA THEME OH MY GOD WHAT YOU SAID WAS SO RETARTED I DIDNT EVEN TYPE OMG

[zigzag12328]

What is the background song??????

[Awesome1601]

Rank 1 should be bloody tears, Rank 2 should be megaman 2 wily stage 1, I don't care about the rest.

[noctim]

mega man had the best fucking score ever!!!

[TheWonkyth]

Ah, Ducktales, why are you so awesome in chip-tune form? :D

[VorpalClaw]

Mario 2 ending theme <3 oh the bitter sweet memories... such an awesome tune for such a nasty ending.

[DarthBono1]

And what's about the hole Bucky O'Hare OST?!?!?

[fruktrov]

You hawe not play Shadowgate on nes 8 bit?? :)

[TheEmekoo]

Am I The Only1 Who Really liked super mario 2? <- the game not the sounds..

[temuzero]

@TheEmekoo Mario 2 was awesome!

[andrewclunn]

10) Nope. Doesn't deserve to be on the list. 9) Okay yeah. That was a good pick. 8) Damn it, I STILL get pumped from that music. FIGHT! 7) I love Zelda, but no, this song wasn't top 10 material. 6) There were better songs from Dr. Mario! 5) The underground music was better. 4) NO NO NO! 3) FUCK YES! I FORGIVE ALL YOUR PAST MISTAKES FOR INCLUDING THIS SONG! 2) NOOO!!!!! I can't stand that annoying grating music. 1) Good? Yes. #1 good... no. WHERE WAS THE INTRO MUSIC TO TIME LORD?!

[fuktopblaze]

megaman song OWN

[ollavv]

subbbed bcause the last song

[devilsboy000]

its funny how much dr willys chin looks like balls

[MexGamer79]

Well i have to admit you chose some good themes too, thumbs up.!!

[MexGamer79]

Weres Gaiden man?? are you shure you know about the old NES??

[lobsterzful]

i like the 8-bit sound... and im only 10!

[jairuribe1]

@lobsterzful so, whats your point?

[TheArchevil]

Yeah! The DuckTales was a epic Game!

[MVega1960s]

f**king love the Metriod tune man :)

[oniXlyl]

the FF victory theme would be an awesome ringtone

[thesuperchamps]

KID ICARUS dude Awesome vid

[dziltener]

The first 34 seconds are the best ;)

[valtus64]

So far I haven't seen anyone having Megaman 3's Title or that one that plays after you beat a robot master. Or game over theme!

Also its a shame that you didn't have any songs from Castlevania or Contra. But hey, its your list and your opinion. Nice list! (y)

[Reebsify]

That megaman music makes me want to move faster than I can

[dEdGrimley]

Also, my mom bought me Kid Icarus and tried to get me to play it more often just to hear the music. And no, she's not a "cool" mom.

(Chillax, she's cool, just not like some hippie or techno geek or whatever. Standard suburban white lady type)

[dEdGrimley]

Ah, remember when Final Fantasy was so much more worried about making a decent game than making movies that you had to push buttons to watch like 10 and 13? They had to say, "Hey! We've got maps n' shit, RIGHT IN THE BOX!"

[GoldenTouch3D]

DOPE Choice son!



[Kuvter]

I just realized that the intro to Duck Tails theme sounds a ton like Gemfire. I can't find the song I'm talking about, since there isn't much on the NES Gemfire online, but I loved that game. I just played it earlier this year for the nostalgia,

[TheLegendOfCool]

DUCK TALES IT WILL NEVER LEAVE IT WILL NEVER LEAVE

[CattTheBlack]

where is journey to silius and castlevania?

[ANation0nceAgain]

Plink Plonk Plink Plonk.....

Rose tinted glasses and all that.

Go listen to some of the Commodore 64's 8Bit music.

[gaffelnskje]

or not to forget batman

[gaffelnskje]

where is sword master

buacky o hare

journey to silijus ? :O

[DrewDAMNIT]

That Duck Tales track is your #1 pick??? Did you ever hear of Maniac Mansion? Ninja Gaiden? Castlevania? Double Dragon?? Contra? Blaster Master? Your list is seriously flawed nub.

[SuperMarioSuperStar]

@DrewDAMNIT I suppose it went over your head that one person's top 10 will be very different from the next guy's top 10?

[MrGimli2]

5:00 i like the one from 1990 =P

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

Ninja Gaiden anyone?

[PJmorrisify]

This is basically a list of great games, either that or you haven't heard much NES music.

[sirundying]

remove DR mario, icarus and ducktale and put: 3 others :P

[donkeyface123]

what game makes dummmm dum dumm dummmmmmm dum

[mod171]

dr Mario good game

[blodstainer]

Hmm... you know how internet just throws you away on things? I was looking for a Sheet for guitarpro/tuxguitar on a mass effect song... and ends up listening to top tens 8 bits song :S

[spike007980]

Blaster Master, Graidus, Castlevania, Contra, Mario, RC Pro Am, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Megaman 2. are my top ten.

[LoveVJHate]

Blaster Master

Nuff said



[MrPhil55au]

these dont compare to double dragon 3 or double dragon 2 music.

[xlimegreen2x]

Make it 240p for increased enjoyment :)

[Mmsmickey]

That duck tales song has to be one of the best songs ever, I still remember the first time I heard it

[TheTweeker79]

Oh! i forgot.. Astyanax had great music too!

[TheTweeker79]

Ninja Gaiden.. Batman... Monster Party... Little Nemo... Contra series... You're missing a few man.

[DrewDAMNIT]

@TheTweeker79 Ahh Monster Party was great! Thanks for the reminder!

[TheTweeker79]

MegaMan 2 had the best music of all the MM games!

[Dre3K1]

Good idea for adding dr. mario to the list but thats not the best song from that game. "Chill" is the best song.

[EinherjarAngantyr]

Ducktales superior.

[Viper2k3sr]

and seriously no Jackal or Twin Cobra

[Viper2k3sr]

damn now I wanna play Legend of Zelda and Mike Tyson's Punch Out :P

[Chronodon]

I broke an NES console because of Ducktales, Amazing Game!

[wrb9x]

can you please tell me the intro song to the video ?

[TheHeartOfTheLion]

I like your list dude.

[shimizuakiko]

I hate Kid Icarus with all my soul. Where's Gargoyl'es Quest - Overwrold? But man, all the songs were so effin good. The one of my taste, yet. missing quite a few

[TheRetroNintendo]

All I hear is NintendoCaprisun at Number 3

[Domoman1999]

@TheRetroNintendo takeadumpinthetoilettakeadumpi­nthetoilet!

[deraickripper]

present day music game music: nigger' s hip hop and faggot techno...

[MrErickraus]

No Battletoads Double Dragon? WTF?

[POWned911]

Where the hell is contra, you dick?

Where the hell is castlevania, you dick?

Where the hell is rc pro-am, you dick?

But, I must admit you made some good choices too. And megaman... Damn that song made me cry! The memories!!!

So, after all, this vid is still worth a + ;)

[FeltTipPenTrade]

SMB2 ending and mega man 2 dr willy makes my cry for happy emotions and memories... And yes kid icarus in 8 bit is better than brawl....

[EvilPirateKing]

I had to go watch all of Brentalfloss's vids after your's because I kept singing along. Nice!

[WaZupYeO]

kirby- greens greens

look it up, youl lik it

[dakatubes]

I recommend also:

journey to silius - stage 1

choujin sentai jetman - area A

Castlevania 2 - Bloody tears.

95% of megaman themes.Specially dr wily stages.

and #3 should be in 1st place. always. always. :)

[schmidtbag]

lol i love how on the super mario 2 box, mario's front leg is coming out of his crotch

[supersaiyanjohnny081]

what no pokemon red and blue trainer battle?? that song was super epic

[marjiks35]

91 mario ftw!

[AtomicRadii]

intro music to ninja gaiden and megaman 2 and 3 music are the best.

[feardrinker]

Dr. Mario stinks, Metroid deserved a better ranking, and you missed Deadly Towers. Otherwise I love your vid! Thanks!

[NasferatuZodd1]

im suprised to see no Chrono Trigger in there >.<

[gadarenedemon]

@NasferatuZodd1 Probably because Chrono Trigger is 16 bit.

[DrewDAMNIT]

@NasferatuZodd1 Chrono Trigger was 16-Bit you tard noob.

[demonfire25]

final fantasy sucks music

[wondermega4ever]

Can't beat any tinue of any double dragon.

[Solvargen]

Megaman series has some great music!

[GeoKeram83]

bro you forgot Nintendo world cup,but nevertheless this was a pretty decent video and songs.

[yeigox]

my favorite is the 3 6:50

[alexchrisccc]

What? No Tim follin? Play some pictionary and silver surfer! Also Jeroen Tel in Alien 3!

[MrJuntunen91]

my favourite is megaman 2 intro

[dhawalking]

Megaman and Kid Icarus FTW

[JimLee16]

Solstice?

[xOSGxTone]

No Castlevania? WTF?

[deraickripper]

@xOSGxTone i saw your post and close the fucking video

[XXXERXXES]

everybody likes THE MOON song too much ARRRRRRGH!!!!

[MrChuiCheeseballs]

whattabout dig dug?

[JustinEvitable80]

@menimeskcor. The Megaman 2 music is from the first two Wily Levels.

[DougB541]

Great list..thanks man.

[balle19891]

Final Fantasy *-*....a dream

[TeamProPain]

@balle19891 Final Fantasy <3

[unicajamalaga2]

Megaman is the BEST of this.

weak music imho...where's Batman^Frakestei? Young indiana Jones//BattleToads n DoubleDragons^ ContraForce????

[MajorLeaguerAnubius]

#10 = You just got PWN'D FTW!!! :D

[thesamon123]

@MajorLeaguerAnubius you are dead, youre dead cus we killed you. we tooked you by surprise

[neonnightcrawler]

@thesamon123 we just saw you roaming the forest, and said "let's kill those guuuuyyys".

[menimeskcor]

megaman 2? what stage is that from? love the megaman themes

[IXSuperRadGamerXI]

I hated SMB 2!...well Love-Hated it. I cried when I heard the end game music track, just so beautiful to me after a well deserved victory dance!! =)

[Nerdslab]

What, no Castlevania? Most songs in that series sounded fully orchestrated, in fact I started playing castlevania when I heard a soundtrack from it (bloody tears I believe). Definantly desearved a place above mario

[Wyrdwad]

That Mega Man track is good and all (VERY good, in fact!)... but it didn't push 8-bit to its limit at all. Look up the title theme from Solstice, or either of the main stage themes from Silver Surfer sometime. Tim Follin pushed 8-bit to its limit, more than anyone else. It's incredible the sounds that man could get out of the ol' NES!

[OMcomics]

THAT IS CRAP!! The legend of zelda should be #1! and mario #2!

[TeamRocketReviews]

Stupid console kid. Martin Galway is the greatest video game composer ever.

[MrNorbert1994]

@TeamRocketReviews Yes, but Neil Baldwin is great too. Check out Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge or Erik The Viking.

[InvincibleBrent]

@CNorrisBiggestFan Actually Sonic was in the 8-bit era. You must have never heard of the Sega Master System.

[Zephyrnthesky]

Zelda must be #1 ¬¬... but, good job bro

[UltimaZimfanatic]

Vampire Killer??????????????

[Hmmfomtgal]

thx! perfect way for me to finish my homework :)

[cammylee87]

@GWARIOR666  lol

[cammylee87]

the tecmo bowl theme should be up here no doubt.. and i love the punch out theme.. but sonic starlight should be up here also.. but good ass choices man

[TheBIadesman]

@cammylee87 whoa, six comments in a row :D

[Quivna]

I would put Faxanadu in there

[CriticuleMe]

Mike Tyson's Punch out game takes it all. I'm going to play it.

[ThePersonWhoIsSane]

I think that sonic the hedgehog "Marble Zone" theme should be easily in the top 10 if not top 5. But that's juts my opinion.

[KawaiiSeaSalt7]

@ThePersonWhoIsSane agreed or green hill zone love that tune :P

[CNorrisBiggestFan]

@ThePersonWhoIsSane - you realize that Sonic missed the whole 8-bit era?

[ThePersonWhoIsSane]

@CNorrisBiggestFan yeah, this vid was "nintendo". but still, over all 8-bit songs, no matter what time they were created.

[NeosDany]

I guess megaman song is better than #2 and maybe #1, still I enjoyed hearing and watching (?) xD, te video. XD

[acedia0ira]

My favorite is still the Act 4-2 music from Ninja Gaiden

[cammylee87]

@acedia0ira  hells yea

[6112jimmy]

@acedia0ira the problem with that is that no one has ever gotten that far in the game to hear it

[vinnie607]

no bloody tears WTF!!!!!

[LFixxxer]

No Ninja Gaiden :(?

[Sufication]

Can't beleive Golden Axe wasn't in here.. FML

[cammylee87]

@Sufication oh yea forgot bout golden axe lol and ninja turtles lol

[rogerwhutwhut]

Nice list. I thought the dungeon music in Zelda was great. Very moody.

[esLangvin]

I love that you got the moon level from Duck Tales, it's my fav NES tune. One thing tho... the other Dr. Mario song is much better.

[ScarsOfTheFallen]

No Castlevania? :(

[TheOnlyTrueGod]

lawl i sung brentalfloss songs to like every song here

zelda

dr mario

punch out

ff victory

super mario 2

mega man I AM MEGA MAN I EAT MAGA FLAN BUT WHY?

and of course duck tales

[shadyalien]

Is that KMFDM in between each song?

[free2pzwn]

@shadyalien

Sounds like one of the boss battle themes from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

Not sure which.

[TheOnlyTrueGod]

@free2pzwn i think its the first form of the final boss either that or the freakin gollum

[whammybarfreak]

@TheOnlyTrueGod lol its egg gollum

[Guellap]

Back then, the game music was on the highest level EVER!!!!

[CoffeeBitLPs]

@Guellap over 9000?

[dsdface]

in the evolution of mario we can see that mario has come from fat ass to bad ass

[scarecrowCR]

LOZ shouldev been #1

[Saucymaggots69713]

it's really hard to make a top 10 video of this.. there's so many great and amazing 8-bit songs out there, lol =3

[Nahojism]

*sniff*

[Rachel281192]

i am sickened that the main dr mario theme tune isnt in here. best tune ever!

[supercorneybroadcast]

@Rachel281192 Dr. Mario is 16-bit

[cammylee87]

@Rachel281192 yes that song went hard

[Shizzle544]

wierd..... Ducktales was the fun as hell. Th e moon music was awesome, but doesn't beat megaman music

[brianmdc]

The battle music from final fantasy is awesome, super metal sounding for an old nintendo game.

[blackfox653]

Final Fantasy - Chaos Temple #1

[8BitItalianStallion]

There are many much better songs. These are just from highly recognizable titles. Tim Follin should be on this list atleast once. I'd rename this to "Top 10 most Recognizable 8-bit Music"

[brummie]

how is zelda at 7? i dont even like zelda and i know that tune belongs in the top 3.

[xCottonSwabx]

WOO KRAID!

[leucomaofthecornea]

longer intro version?

[awesomeahow]

i would have personally put megaman 3 theme at number 1

[Blashyrkh22]

What's the song you use to segue between the songs?

[45loconder]

thumbs up if when the punch-out!! theme came on you sang the lyrics brentalfloss made up

[ljkasper]

bad top...where is felix the cat and battletoads?

[cammylee87]

@ljkasper definitely battletoads

[zlii]

final fantasy 10, rly!

[SuperGreedyboi]

Man punch out hours and hours nice list

[GPGHandles11]

Dr. Wily stage one is such a classic...

[Gribeling]

Soooooo... Where is bramble blast?

@Gribeling

That's not 8-bit, it's 16 bit.
