The Top 10 of 8bit Video Game Themes

[TheWonkyth]

Are you saying that the Tetris theme B is better than theme A?! :o

[Neekstarrr]

It's been 20 fucking years since I first heard Dr. Wily Stage theme and it still hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it. Such an amazing tune from an amazing game.

[llVeXXll]

I would really not say that national park was the tune that came to mind when thinking of the pokemon games, there's well better ones! But also some cool ones people don't remember like the radio gameshow tune and the tune that plays when you try to print and you dont have a printer connected!

[Harborx]

@llVeXXll National Park deserves that spot. matter of fact I kind of expected it. It's easily on of the most romantic and beautiful 8 bit gameboy pieces, its what makes it so memorable.

[axlar1]

hi there pepplz!

[axlar1]

The top 2 on here are overrated beyond belief.

[wudyz420]

MOON theme ducktales

[DJBassEnergy]

@wudyz420 Yeah vote wudyz420

[SuperMario555555]

good old pokemon <33

[StephyLouWho2]

The Legend of Zelda!!

[mgsexistence]

@ChiefBrandonGrant fawk my mistake

[mgsexistence]

Wheres Castlevania 4 simons theme?

[ChiefBrandonGrant]

@mgsexistence That's 16-bit.

[louridah2]

i think Dr.Mario should have made the list

[TonyLaPron]

am I a nerd?

[Kaimetsu14]

@TonyLaPron Just because you asked. No.

[AbortedHitlerCock]

I don't know if Cave Story is technically 8-bit, but pretty much every song on the soundtrack is amazing. I hope all the various recent remakes didn't fuck that up.

[Tzanthor]

Make it Tetris theme A and i might agree

[tmnttiny]

pokemon is for suckerz

[simiabraz10lucario7]

Pokemonnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[m0vax]

You must have never played Batman.

[MrTheSupermariobros]

The moon is epic i have to plasy this on an emulator!

[TheLondonVandal]

Sucks at Mario too.

[TheLondonVandal]

Homie sucks at Tetris.

[9999faill]

personally i prefer the music you get at the end of the credits on pokemon gold

[Facebooksucks2323]

of course #1 is megaman thats a no brainer

[Docrockthespot]

if you liked number 2 and enjoy techno/dubstep listen to The Legend Of Zelda-Zedd pretty nice mix

[mrrobloxia101]

tetris A is 0 cuz its too epic for a number

[electromusikman]

Great 8 bit collection ! 100% da´cord!

[Shogunelite]

I still find the Castlevania 2 Simon's Questo Bloody Tears to be memorable to me >:D the game can go to hell but the music was awesome

[dbznappa]

wow, somebody is a nintendo fanboy

No1 ftw

[JLMBfreafin]

I'll tell what I thought of your list, I know that it was your opinion, so i'll give mine. 10 - I prefer music A 9 - Kraid's lair is much better than brinstar theme, although it's more classic 8 - Wicked Child (Stage 3) is much better, although stage 1 is more well known 7 - I didn't like it, would've put ninja gaiden (some level I forgot) 6 - agreed 5 - Gym battle from R/B/Y 4 - Agreed 3 - I can't really say much about it 2 - Temple theme from Zelda 2 1 - Totally agreed

[SkankinDevil89]

dr. mario chill theme is pretty badass. theres way too much good 8 bit music to only name 10, but good list anyway

[Bidon45]

Duck tales - moon theme. #1 in my opinion.

[Annntonnni]

In the beginning, I thought it said 'Shit' in stead of '8-bit'

Thanks for the vid anyway :D

[Henryvdv]

so fucking awesome, listened to this stuff 15/20 years ago and can still buzz along with all of them :D

[coolguyace]

i dont like the castlevania game or song, well ok game is ok but not song, and megaman would be best in this category. and ugh why that song from that Pokemon park, it sucks! i like a lot of music from gold but not that! and wheres double dragon?

[linus573]

Ah national park....brings back some memories....

[MrSamboral]

Megaman sing along, take a dump on the toilet take a dump on the toilet it smells so bad take a dump on the toilet it smells just like rotten fish and cheese rotten fish and cheese!- nintendocaprisun

[SmokescreenAbyss]

I feel like playing the original kirby again haha

[GamerFluffy]

Every Tetris player was like "WTF? Why would you do that?!?!"

[blodstainer]

I jizzed at the National Park theme <3

[BiboLesPaul]

Pokemon is the best game serial. No GTA, no PES, no COD. Pokemon.

[CatholicBunneh44]

@BiboLesPaul PES?

[KaioZerHD]

@BiboLesPaul Old pokemon at least, everything after 4th gen is copy/paste

[fellinpoop]

I play these games every day!

[cloudparter]

I really liked Bubble mans stage in MM2. Everyone always seems to pick Wily's song on their Top' X' list and omits Bubble Man when I find it a lot catchier. To each their own.

Great list btw! Nostalgiagasm! Check out my Top 100.

[ortomy]

at 4:55 isnt that from Mega man?

[kiball09]

omfg how come you dont have jackie chans kung fu adventure??

[LowOmatiC]

wth tetris on 10? : O :D

[WAFFLESx96]

take a dump on the toilet take a dump on the toilet it smells bad take a dump on the toilet it smells so bad take a dump on the toilet it smells just like rotten fish and cheese rotten fish and cheese pu-ey lyrics for #1 by nintendocaprisun

[WillP999]

@WAFFLESx96 Hahaha.

[Vegetatilldaend14]

WTF NO GHOSTS N GOBLINS THAT SHIT WAS BAD ASS GO LISTEN TO IT NNNNNNOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!

[TehMetroidFreak]

U SIR JUST WON AN INTERNETS.

[sulleh1]

That dog haunts my dreams

[Boslatine]

@sulleh1 damn im srry

[BlaizeTheDragon]

1 Thing I hated about mario bros 3 was mushrooms going the wrong way. They should always stick to moving to the right until they come in contact with a wall, not head in the opposite direction you hit the block.

[edwining]

VVVVVVV

[Zantosification]

all games still better than black ops

[ShadowDragon0788]

@Zantosification yep way better LoL

[norwegiantechnolover]

@Zantosification word up. bo pisses the shit outta me. so does duck hunter but whatever..

[ThisSubtleDagger]

@norwegiantechnolover Duck Hunt. Not Duck Hunter.

[norwegiantechnolover]

@ThisSubtleDagger Oh darn it! I really messed up this time, didn't I?

[ScoutSecurity]

@Zantosification Fuck you Black ops is awesome

[dooodoooood]

@ScoutSecurity Black ops sucks. And blows. Two things that shouldn't even be physically possible to do at the same time.

[aaslayersarge]

@Zantosification all games better than ANY call of duty <_<

[ChicagoCubs1060]

omg seeing kirby brings back so many memories

[mobob599]

I questioned my cuzin on this and he got most right!

[ManWithFreedom]

listen hre u rat, listen to ninja gaiden 4-2 and u will get ur balls blown off

[GamingTool]

@ManWithFreedom hell yeah

[ManWithFreedom]

@BoregoYT troll

[NaviLovesLink]

@BoregoYT ????? Super Mario 3 was released on the NES... an 8 bit console.

[djsavir]

Damn, The Moon from Duck Tales makes me remind so many good times that i had with my old NES! which i still have with me :D, indeed one of the best memories from my childhood...Castlevania , Super Mario Bros 3, incredible and simple games, who wants Crysis, Elder Scroll, Mass Effect, Kinect, when you can have a controller with just a directional cross, 4 buttons, and a bunch of the best games that i've ever played in my life... =)

[vokills420]

@djsavir i'd rather have both.... minus crysis and kinect.

[doom1killer123]

@djsavir I FUCKING AGREE! YOU HEAR THAT YOU FUCKING COD PLAYERS!?!?!?

[Marlage]

I agree with your number 1 <3

[Uruluke]

What about last stage of Chip'nDale or Duck Tales 2?

[cytheh]

jungle theme from Contra 1 should be in there. Also, pokemon yellow/blue/red, Ghost tower should be here too.

[8bitDude0]

FAIL!!!!!!! wheres golden rod city from pokemon g/s/c??

[Ernie416]

heh #1,2, and 4 are from IWBTG the ultimate 8 bit game tribute. I have to thank Kayin O Reilly for making that game.

[tsukinoakuma]

Butter Building should've been 2.

[arizonacardinals2007]

Mega Man 3- protoman theme....FTW. and what about the 8-bit version of the prelude theme for Final Fantasy?!

[yorushingai]

at least you got zelda right :P

[ffitzpaty13]

i teared up a little when i saw pokemon g/s/c

[screenON14]

uhh... mario bros, the first one? its ok, I guess, its your opinion anyway.

[ianyardman]

Damn how i miss the old days, sad how fast I got old :(

[cronon94]

This is all just a matter of opinion. Since I grew up with only Pokemon yellow, I would have at the very least 5/10 sings be from that on my list.

[GhostEye187]

At 4:00 I couldn't help but say QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!! And then my friend started staring at me.....

[TheDarkDimensions]

as soon as the pokemon music played... my whole childhood flashed before my eyes

[ificouldflyinNO]

I was very satisfied with number one :)

[Greener221]

7 was so awesome it was put into Brawl, but 1st and 2nd deserve their spots.

[JazbaAndrew]

Im sorry but double dragon is soooo EPIC and should be on every list

[placeholderr]

whoever was playing tetris was pretty bad

[Max799]

Everyone knows megaman's theme was secretly written by Iron Maiden

[geovani60624]

eu achava bom ele ter colocado o tema do mirai senshi lios do nes no top 10 o tema inicial é bom .

[shino78]

@geovani60624 i was about to say the same thing lol

[geovani60624]

@shino78 bom, eu sempre fico jogando novos jogos do nes e as vezes eu acho uns temas legais (eu demorei a responder porque já tem um tempo que eu não logo meu canal do youtube)

[TheHunterRE]

And where is double dragon theme? I like so much!!

[furrymaster69]

is it bad when i play these games more than my 360? i mean its covered in dust i havent played it in that long

[flippy5122]

@furrymaster69 no its not bad, i just got a n64 cuz i wanted one, and i hevn't played my 360 in like a month.

[jepr91]

Wow nostalgic. Watching this made me think "how the hell did they get duck hunt for the NES to work?!?!" i mean the wii came out in '06. Nintendo must've made a satanic pact or something o_o ... jk, but it still makes me wonder. ima google it. Oh and a fun fact, did you know that there are actually people in the gov whose job is to decide what words belong in english vocab? Yeah, as of 2011, "Man up" and "google" are no longer appropriate to use as verbs like i did. HA! I say, Free Speech.

[FlippyMyDog]

i missed pkmn silver, the nostaligic graphics, those bigass pokeballs for items, it just has this cosy feeling to it that the newer games lacked.

[LetsPlayerJB]

where is Ninja Gaiden act 4-2 ??? :D

[thegoddescomposer]

Tetrix song music b reminds me of Js.bach piano concerto dont really know which number i like them all ! 8 bit will stay with me for ever

[gizarg35]

I can't say all of these would have made my list, but great job all the same. There were some unexpected choices through in with the staples which is refreshing considering most videos on youtube are just remakes of shit people have already done...

[Canadianabanana]

Oh man, major nostalgia attack with the pokemon and ducktales one.

[SparticusHun]

I would've said Zelda deserves to be #1. Due to its legacy. But Dr Wiley Theme. It's like a pump up song. I'll give you #1 Dr. Wiley lol.

[Icebluefire13]

Nice list, i would have switched #1 and #2 but thats my opinon, great job!!

[dakatubes]

wow, very good video man! i totally agree with the number one ;)

check my video, i made one about my top 10 nes themes

[DarrylKerr]

Good vid i love the castlevania 1 theme more than bloody tears but its still great

[banana1queef]

The original gameboy is 4 bits technically

[salamanceownage]

metroid. nice



[lordmatz3435]

where is castlevania 2 - bloody tears? its the most epic theme song ever

[dakatubes]

@lordmatz3435 after MM2 dr wily 1 and Ninja Gaiden Act 4-2 ;)

[nitromedude99]

@lordmatz3435 i know! every one of these dosent have it! it makes my tears bloody!

[wylecoyote65]

great contdown. its hard to make one without more than 10 people disliking it

[ikaninjau2]

i don't like Pokemon anymore but i like national park the best it brings back memories

[themangOMEGA]

Where...the fuck...is Bein' Friends from Earthbound Zero?!

[abdulinho1602]

Hej ;) Jeśli robiłaś to sama, to ja osobiście bym trochę inaczej to ułożył :P

Wg mnie na przykład mega epickie są rosyjskie piosenki typu Kalinka w tetrisie.

Zabrakło mi też niestety podkładu z Kunio Kun Nekketsu Soccer.

[Aflguy35cp]

Tetris B theme > Tetris A theme ANYDAY

[sirmugman]

megaman great music

[PCPFilmz]

when he was in national park i was like NOOOOO dont go into the grass! YOU'LL STOP THE SONGGGGG

[MrBitmusic]

The whole Megaman 2 Soundtrack is 1st place!

1. Megaman 2 - Woodman Stage

2. Megaman 2 - Dr. Wily Stage 1

3. Megaman 2 - Intro

;)

[sylvanha]

If u liked the megamen music, check out this awesome, and yes, I do mean awesome heavy-metal remake of that song at /watch?v=pk1d2u-H8UU&feature=p­layer_embedded

Was made by friends in Montreal, Canada

[GradGamer]

All in all a very good list. Personally I think the moon should have been at number 2 and maybe switch vampire killer with wicked child from castlevania.

[IRAQI6TNT]

This should be The Top 10 of NINTENDO's 8bit Video Game Themes

[NotFromEarthVidMaker]

Monkey? I HATE YOU!

[drakeTM1]

the castlvania stage 1 is calle vampire slayer

tetris a+c are waaaaaay better

[AGuyAndAGun]

I think #2 and #1 should be switched, but that's probably just the Zelda fan speaking out

[wowcrendor]

Pokemon had so much awesome 8bit music

[TalesOfGod]

@wowcrendor Yeah, Pokemon Crystal is still my favourite pokemon game of all time...XD

[dragongame2]

are you mad brinstar supose to be number 1, 2 or 3 not 9

and I realy hate number 7 the rest are good numbered

[jorgealbertorojas]

la musica de la primera mision de bionic commando es la hostia!!!

[GaMiNgFrEaK6]

@martaf1991 He said "I miss the music of pokemon blue for the final fight"



[Hypefiend]

national park from gsc should be bumped up to #3 it is fucking amazing

[l0rdZer022]

@Hypefiend hell yeah... I think its orgasmic!

[TheRocklover41]

Megaman all the way

[HeavensBurn]

Tetri song B ?!!!!!!!!!!! i think you mean A xP

[l0rdZer022]

@HeavensBurn actually... its B theme

[Lunarrune]

@HeavensBurn type-C :D

[wylecoyote65]

@HeavensBurn i'm pretty sure he means c

[Darkuaza106]

@HeavensBurn theme A is pretty overrated

[Balish13]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  FF1?!

[BackTheFlipStudios]

@Balish13 These songs were obviously chosen by a 5 year old who watched some videos and thought these were actually the best there was. He won't have even heard of ff1.

[ContraCommando]

lol @ all the pokemon dicksucking noobs. I can tell that was the 1st game these motherfuckers played. Fuckin casuals.

[ContraCommando]

Pokemon does NOT belong in this list. There are better more deserving 8 bit songs you could have put up.

[Alexbfd94]

@ContraCommando You do not belong here.

[DrewGSC64]

@ContraCommando true pokemon music isnt as good as some 8 bit songs, but calling pokemon fans "fuckin casuals" is a dick move since all you probably do is jizz to playing call of duty instead of playing a decent game...

[ContraCommando]

@DrewGSC64 I actually think Call of Duty is the biggest casual game yet.

[Lappith]

I thought it said "The Top 10 Shit Video Game Themes" haha.

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

yes pokemon gold and silver park

i remmber jamming out to that song as a kid lol

[Djstudiosgold]

Damn straight number 1.

[Minority119]

I'm aware that this video is kinda old as shit, but may I add a couple to your list?

which would be Metal Storm's stage 1

and Conquest of the Crystal Palace stage 1

both are worth a damn look, rally =P

oh and a suggestion, you should check out Battle of the Olympus' Arcadia theme

[GBAManiac666]

The gameboy is 4 bit..........

[BLuFAlc0n]

...Zelda or Megaman could either have 1 or 2, coz both themes are epic!!!! You should've add Super Mario Bros. coz EVERYONE knows that theme!!

[Felgrand101]

smb 3 was 8 bit? I thought it was 16...

[MrChocoThunda]

@Felgrand101 no it first came out on the nes so it was 8 bit then it came out on the snes as 16 bit remake in the game called super mario all stars it had lots of games in it and with better graphics

[julianwhitee]

metroid theme sounds a litle like the pokemom gym theme

[StewNWT]

You missed only ONE key BGM

Stage J from Rescue Rangers. That's right up there with Ducktales The Moon and the top Mega Man tracks.

[doom3hell]

wtf?? ninja gaiden is not in there?? :O

[Spagettieater9000]

In what game does Megaman do that dance and when?

[mopbrothers]

I agree with #1. Megaman 2 has the best music ever.

[ACIDawaken]

great choices, except some songs i think should be on the list somewhere

Gourmet Race - kirby

Gourmet race level 2 - kirby

great fairy theme - oracle of ages/seasons

song of awakening - links awakening

[bisco2008]

sometimes modern music make you tired and want to come back to the 8 bit golden days

[pelle112211]

I think Duck Tales should be number 1

[LiMeej]

i wasnt really suprised for the choice of number 1, its a good song

[Aceb93]

God, Number 4 is awesome.

[darklink4567]

you my friend, have a great test in music!

[ldlrdrllrr]

I liked zelda 2 music better than the first

[ItsAFirefightBuffalo]

YES megaman 2 on the number 1....GREAT LIST

[tronn4]

speek is spelled speak. rolfi is saying you missed the final fight in pokemon blue.

love your music selections btw.
