NES BttF game's music is from the movie soundtrack buttmunch

[CamTreyandTom]

wats the point of this game?

It has no time travel

[jeager1999]

I made a video with just the 8 bit song playing and not with the actually song dubbed over it. Same for Johnny B Good.

[criminyjimjims]

I honestly don't think that the fact that they got the music right helps the game at all.

[TheCheezWizz]

@criminyjimjims Yeah, it's not so much that it makes it better but it's a common misconception that BTTF's music is just a bunch of noise. It's actually pretty accurate and doesn't need too much editing to fix it up for the proper length.

[2536b]

Did you also know that if you play it in reverse it says: "There is a better one in Japan! Don't press start!!!!"

[TheCheezWizz]

@2536b No it doesn't. That would mean LJN has access to time travel so they could see a game that wasn't made yet, and if they had that they would also have the time to put more development time into the game and make it better, and they didn't really do that.

[2536b]

@TheCheezWizz Then it is true! Because it takes longer than 4 years of trying to make a game this bad. That is why they spent 2 extra years by going back in time! That is the only way this game could be as bad as it is.

[bengraven]

Mind blown. I'm assuming they started off at the proper speed, but thought it would sound better in a video game sped up to pick up the pace.

[heavyshell3k]

Obviously LJN would have got sued up the ass if they made the music sound exactly like 'power of love' soundtrack. They were smart.....

[UnsentPhoenix]

NO. FUCKING. WAY. I got this game soon after it came out when I was a kid. I was SOOOO disappointed. I'm seeing love for this game in the comments and I do not get it. I hated this game quite thoroughly. But, even I could not have made the connection between "Power Of Love" and the godawful track that kept looping throughout that ENTIRE game!

[sukingeggs1]

it's butthead, not buttmunch.

[Glux247]

I would have never....just unbelieveable...

[MegaMacTV]

I always had a suspicion that the song MIGHT be The Power of Love and now this video proves that suspicion. Nice mix! Even though you did ave to edit the chiptune a bit, there's no denying the similarities. In fact, I'll just rest easy believing they're the same. =P

[HumanDaikon]

Nice discovery!

[KirbyY15]

LJN really sucks in remaking music ._.

[rockforge420]

IM ashamed to say i actuly liked this game it wasnt half bad it was fun it just had.. allmost nothing to do with back to the future AND i thank you so much for this video I just thought of this when ever the song botherd me and it helpd so much that i actuly beat the game

[Dwedit]

LJN is the publisher, they didn't make anything.

Yell at the Beam Software for this abomination.

[boogers39]

Oh this tune tears

[reallyfun]

LOL OMG!!

I've always thought that song in the game sounded a bit familiar in a BTTF kinda way, even tho I was never able to put my finger to it!

Bravo!!!! :D

[kryptin420]

wonder why they sped it up. It kind of sounds like it was built for 50hz europeon televisions, so when played on a 60hz american television you get the crap we hear. Kind of odd considering LJN was an american company. Someone should try playing BttF in PAL mode it might actually sound right and play at the speed it might of actually been meant for.

[ReDbEaN87]

LJN.. oh well, the maker of LJN and all shitty games is dead since 2009 I think, or was it this year? whatever, date doesn't matter, he's dead! XD

[ken131]

Whoooooaaaaa.... duuuuuude. You deserve an award for this discovery.

[JustinC721]

More like "The Power of Drugs"

[UnsentPhoenix]

No...

[maggosh]

That's odd...why didn't the AVGN catch this in his revisit?

[TheCheezWizz]

@maggosh Maybe it's too loose? I had to edit the song a bit to fit it with the song, but the resemblance is definitely there.

[OptimusNiaa]

Holy poop

[luigibarqs]

Oh my god, really? O_o

[SuperSonichero10]

Power of Love FTW

[Atle517]

I feel kinda bad for LJN now... Everyone has insulted the music on this game, but the thruth is that it rocks when its slowed down. :D

But still... LJN sucks... :P

[maggosh]

Whoa...my mind has been blown, and I have shit bricks.

[Shadowsamaman]

Mind Status: BLOWN

[kibjohn]

Awesome comparison. I knew that the theme music from the game is basically a fast version of "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis & the News.

-kidThunder

[Striljr]

yah right! not quite! this music would have somewhat good to hear in this game, but unfortunatley we subjected to the crappy music that drove us nuts!!!

[SeyMe2]

What a fucking stretch. Bullshit.

[Doommaster1994]

I converted this game's music onto the AdLib synth card. Sound exactly like the NES version just with better sounding instruments.

[2ian12]

avgn line : LJN rainbow of death XD lolz

[tbone2004]

"It seems LJN just seems to own a monopoly of shitty games!" Back to the Future Roger Rabbit Karate Kid Friday the 13th Nightmare on Elm Street Spiderman:Return of the Sinister Six The Amazing Spiderman X-Men: The Video Game Wolverine T2: The Arcade Game Terminator 2: Judgment Day And the list goes on...

[Magitek111]

@tbone2004

Execpt some of those games were actually made by RARE, just published by LJN.

[adamspeople]

maybe the power of love could of made this game abit bareable

[RedSalamander]

If only the music in this game was that slow, people might have caught on sooner.

[TheCheezWizz]

if it was that slow, LJN might've had legal issues coming.

on that note though, BTTF Part II & III Featured a pretty well copied (although shortened) version of Back in Time. Different game composer?

[Moto200Alt]

LOL

I've never noticed that the game BGM was in fact "The Power of Love"... now, it makes perfect sense

[TheChronicOne]

This game was the SHIT.

It rocks

[TheCheezWizz]

for a second i thought you said the game was shit. But I guess that's only because it's what I always hear.

Yeah, the game's not great but it's playable and it can actually be fun for a little while.

[TheExtremeCore]

Probably the worst movie inspired game of all time, music they added to it as well "a cheap MIDI version" of a true classic was garbage.

[glebs]

Bricks = shat

[iovis37]

The first time i heard the song it felt incomplete for me. now i know why.

[SmashFiles]

They must have just forgotten to add a certain sound tone one with the main chorus

[BassGoesBoom1]

the tune is sped up in the game so much that it bears no resemblance to the power of love though so your video has no point

the real question should be why didn't they just slow down the tune?

[IntMoronPatrol]

Yeah it does, the music in the game matches the music sheet for the guitar.

[ChicoEdge]

Two thoughts:

One- The programmers suck.

Two- They made an 8-Bit rendition of the song for the game but couldn't get a license to actually use the song. Instead of removing the song and coming up with another one (which would have caused a delay), the programmers simply sped up the music so it doesn't sound like "Power of Love".

Not saying that either one is correct, but those were the first two thoughts to come to mind.

[BagOfMagicFood]

Yeah, they must have had to speed it up and remove the melody as well.

[KirbyY15]

maybe it should hurry you to mess up

[BassGoesBoom1]

make more sense next time

[KirbyY15]

i know it is a bad built sentence...i wrote it like yesterday at 12 o'clock in the night...btw, i mean it so...the music was made fast on purpose, to make you lose the game (MAYBE)

[BulletShootingGuys]

That's not saying much. The game still sucks fresh bull shit!

[termi555]

yes it is played in the game but in 8-bit

[mpontheair2]

I hope you weren't trying to call everyone a buttmunch (title).

Because I had absolutely no clue that the game's music was Huey Lewis on 2 bottles of Jolt + loads of amphetamines.

[TheCheezWizz]

I'm referring to the people who thought it isn't. That requires being a hardass set in your ways.

[mpontheair2]

With that said, and that I initially think it wasn't, asswipe (since you insist on the insult in your title), I say the following:

Not everyone is as fucking intelligent as you to notice this fucking shit. You do not have to rub this shit in everyone's fucking faces.

Jesus fucking Christ, already!

(Consider this a flame-response to your flaming everyone, which includes myself.)

[TheCheezWizz]

Go cry some more. whine about something that doesn't even involve you.

I'm talking about the fucking people who argue about it, shithead.

[MegaMan52]

So the "annoying Back to the Future game music" is really Power of Love. Woah. Great find!

[WarioFan63]

My mind is officially blown!

[figment1988]

me too, but the game still sucks imho.

[churlyryan]

I don't know. I like the Power of Love too much to decide.

[zackgb]

good point! I'm still blown away by the fact that this remained a hidden mystery song for how many years...haha I've got a new favorite video.

[zackgb]

why they felt the need to super speed everything up is still a mystery, maybe they thought it should be more upbeat and energetic? haha this discovery is gonna blow my mind for at least the rest of the day.

[TheCheezWizz]

Maybe they were trying to avoid paying for permission to use the song.

[TheCheezWizz]

Maybe they were trying to avoid paying for permission to use the song.

[dotkristian]

Or maybe it just sounded "better" to them sped up? Lol

[zackgb]

yeah it matches EXACTLY. You're dead on. I can die happy now haha, makes complete sense along with there being a super sped up version of Johnny B Goode.

The arrangement isn't exactly like listening to the Huey Lewis song but it's what they were clearly doing. The chords and structure of the song are very evident. Awesome discovery!

[fecman94]

Oh My God, I Never Would've Thought. Why Didn't LJN Slow The Freaking Music Down?

[TheCheezWizz]

Because the company sucks? They're not exactly known for high quality.

[fecman94]

yeah, the only good game they made is spider man sinister 6

[ookooweb]

No, crash dummies for nes was good too!

[fecman94]

I Also Forgot To Mention Karate Kid And Roger Rabbit (Which Was Ok) I DidntPlay Crash Dummies Yet. I Will Later

[200dogz]

i rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ears than playing this horrible abormination of mankind

...anyway nice find on the music :D

[NailStrafer]

You know, I always wondered why I liked this song when reviewers were criticizing it. Now I know...I liked this song in the movie, so I like it in the game. Thanks for posting this.

[JosephCollins]

Looks like I owe you an apology. So I made one, sort of kinda...but it's in video format. :x

[JosephCollins]

Okay, now you're just reaching. =P ...well, okay. THEY were reaching. Let's be honest here, though. It's pretty vauge. It synchs up if you slow it down, yes...but it's still pretty vauge.

No arguement on the School Dance song matching up with Johnny B Good, though.

[TheCheezWizz]

what exactly is vague?

[JosephCollins]

I'm saying the "run around" theme passes only a vauge resemblence to "The Power of Love" as I hear it. It's not to say that it doesn't have almost exactly the same layout as far as "parts"... But for the most part, there's only a passing resemblence.

[kentj1]

wow, i thought that song didn't match, but it does! That's crazy!
