QDBuckwheat Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Curious topic, what were some of your favorite songs and soundtracks on the NES. Post and link a few you remember enjoying. I always loved the ominous the opening theme for Journey to Silius. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The usual suspects from Nintendo, or the big franchise mainline stuff like Castlevania, Turtles, Mega Man, they're obvious. How about... Super Dodgeball (Team USA, stage 1) Another is Gargoyle's Quest II, picked A Long Time Ago (opening credit story roll) but really listen from 0-5min, shares the music with Gameboy original, just enhanced for each of those 5 clips) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I was really impressed with the music in Anticipation. I thought they somehow made the music sound quite a bit different from other NES games.

+GoldLeader Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Faxanadu Mostly the Opening Theme and maybe the weirdness of the World of Mist Or how about the Optimistic sounding, happy go lucky Challenger Theme from Gradius? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 My favorite obscure NES game, Death Race, has a couple of fun tunes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nester Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It’s a typical choice but it’s gotta be Duck Tales for me. I’ve had the moon level song in my head for 30 years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew954 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 My favorite NES soundtrack has got to be Bucky O'Hare. So many great tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic_Lotus Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm going to have to go with the Mega Man III soundtrack. I especially love the Title theme and Snake Man theme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Here's some lesser-known soundtracks worth checking out: Solstice (Tim Follin) Little Nemo - The Dream Master Werewolf - The Last Warrior Batman: Return of the Joker I have more, but I'd know that it would be the usual from Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerson Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The Battle of Olympus is up there for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKlP7q0Xpqw&list=PL65BA686F70BA4AA3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QDBuckwheat Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) With Halloween coming up soon, I thought this would be a good one to post. Shame this gets such a bad rap, it's a pretty fun co-op game. This is probably one of my more favorite tracks from the game. Edit: Forgot about this one too, this another excellent track!

adamchevy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I really enjoy the Akumajou Denesetsu Soundtrack and Mr. Gimmick! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Mega Man 3, Ninja Gaiden and Shadowgate immediately come to mind for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Title theme of Robocop 3, for me. And pretty much anything from Silver Surfer! Too many other games to name as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Two of my favorites that I don't think I saw in this thread... Beetlejuice Taboo: The Sixth Sense Worth getting the games for the music? Probably not these days. I'm pretty sure these were $1 carts I bought 20 years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hate to start with the easy ones, but both Zeldas, SMB2, Metroid and Kid Icarus had amazing music. Those tunes will stay with me to the grave! And of course Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Castlevania, DuckTales and MM2 are right up there too. If I had to pick something (slightly) less obvious, I'd go with Wizards & Warriors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 In my humble opinion, one of the best soundtracks not already mentioned would have to be Sky Shark. Sky Shark (NES) Music / Soundtrack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
