1943: The Battle of Midway (NES) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

[@VicHD]

11:51 was stressful hearing as a kid.

[@VasCorpBetMani]

Many old NES soundtracks had a great song, but this game had a few. Some of the best aerial/aviary tracks for sure.

[@ZapatosVibes]

The last stage was such a marathon but beating it, even today, is still oh-so-satisfying. A feeling newer games don't offer very often.

[@thewindthatblows]

What about now 9 years later with all the souls and rogue like indie games? Hahaha

[@eskeleto_12]

Que nostalgia oír estos Soundtrack de nuevo y remasterizados, debido a que no se oyen tan igual

[@jinderbreadman]

2:17 is super-nostalgic for me. Even though I barely played this game, this damn theme always takes me back to my childhood.

[@Burn_Angel]

This is just so awesome compared to that "beep, beep, beebeep, bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-beep" crap from 1942...

[@nitorishogiplayer3465]

The NES version was worse. I first played 1942 on the NES and I thought all those beeping where radar sound effects and it took me a while to figure out those were the music. The arcade version was a bit better cause you could make out the whistles and drums and it sounded a bit more music-like.

[@luisreyes1963]

Fun Fact: the 1942 BGM was a secret track in the arcade game 19XX.

[@Berry_D._Mayers]

That final sound at the end scared me a bit 😂 13:08

[@UltimateCefiro]

Missed the 80s and 90s, where 8-bit music can be heard anywhere..... and those were the days......

[@MattYpee8]

Every time I look for 8 bit, its always you. So I finally subscribed.

[@luisreyes1963]

This was one of the most challenging games ever created by Capcom. It takes skill to make it to the final battle with the battleship Yamato.

[@hyorii6106]

Ugh, to think you have to fight Rikaku, Kyoshu, Choko and Kaku before you reach Totaku/Yamato...

[@VictoriaRamos-lj2ee]

Man did i love when you dove in after sighting the enemy ships. Then that battle into theme would start up.

[@MattYpee8]

The recordings are so clear.

[@anxiousmofo6673]

11:51 Oh shit. It's Mr. Creosote!

[@DAEGUKJW]

2:17, 7:09, 11:35 Best Theme!! :D

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Only problem: it's missing the ascending intro riff the arcade version has.

[@oliver_atomo]

Glory at 0:56

[@Hayatenogotokuluey]

Ah..Nostalgic memories. thank you ^_^

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I now believe it was Hiroshige Tonomura ("Perorin") who was involved with re-scoring most of Kumi Yamaga's music for the NES version of 1943. I know this, at least, because the ending theme (12:12) that plays after you beat Totaku the second time around has a similar chord progression as the Moon stage theme from the NES DuckTales, which many believe was his best work. The other hint at Tonomura's involvement here is the sound effect that plays when you collect a power-up item, as it is the same sound that plays in NES DuckTales when Mrs. Beakley drops a few ice cream cones for Scrooge to recover his health. However, the Sea Boss Theme (10:45) was done by Manami Matsumae ("Manami Ietel") because that sounds a bit like the second Dr. Wily's Castle theme (for stages 3 and 4) from the first NES Mega Man game. And Yoshihiro Sakaguchi's ("Yuukichan's Papa") contributions here, if any, were merely to encode the music and sound effects, but he never actually composed any music for most Capcom games.

[@geekstreat]

Great soundtrack!

[@nnse1]

I don't know why I haven't downloaded this one yet!

[@ryanchan4084]

Air Battle 2, Air Battle 3, Sea Battle 2 - my favorite

[@MrRip999999]

Old school game rock

[@livingace]

this game.still kicks.my.ass

[@ramensoup43]

Japanese game about Japan losing to one American P-38 Lightning, ultimately destroying the battleship Yamato

[@ramensoup43]

Marcus Macena that doesn't technically count since its a Japanese company making a game about different countries. Like it would be like a US developer making a game of a foreign force protagonist infiltrating American forces and attacking a major base as the goal. A non-corrupt one anyway

[@raulferro3998]

@Marcus Macena Man, I loved Guerrilla War (Guevara) (on NES) played it so much, but I had no idea about the background story I was just blasting my way to the finish without a purpose (I was too young back then)

[@トトロ無双]

懐かしくって涙出てくらぁ （ ＴДＴ）

[@apolinarioperandos1251]

nice song i like this game before i was a 8 years old

[@AlinktoPersona]

Holy shit. Vastly superior to the 1942

[@rickn4301]

Yes yes yes! Just like the arcade!

[@umescribaodocrioulistao]

[@jcdenton679]

00:53

[@CSanykdotCom]

Why does this have some echo/reverb to it? It sounds like some fx "enhancements" were put on top of how I remember it sounding.

[@marcojaimejardina7526]

8 BIT OST 🎮🎮🎮

[@MrExctbhj]

What's wrong with the last beeping sound? That's creep me out.... :(

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Ryan Smith When your energy's low???

[@nitorishogiplayer3465]

Funny how the title theme could never be complete cause it always gets cut off by the introduction animation thing.

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

it can be completed if u select password

[@hyorii6106]

Also applies for the sea battle themes cause you're approaching the boss, replacing the music, unless you use your thunder bomb, stopping the movement...

[@KevinStriker]

Much better than 1942.

[@CrimsonDevil_Rias]

And 1944 is better than 1943. 1944 is a Japanese ROM hack of 1943 that has better controls over this game. Instead of using A to expend your lightning attack, it instead fires powerful lasers. Instead of autofiring the B button like in this game, you can instead autofire the A button to take down the boss ships and Ayako.

[@OvrWrtMusic]

5:30

[@ForcedRejection]

5:30 , scrolled down to see if anyone would recognize the winner

[@hyorii6106]

Funny thing that, you can't hear the whole thing, due to having a boss theme, unlike the arcade version...

[@井出勝久-l1r]

P-38ライトニング名機だよねー

[@momihog]

でも実際は艦上戦闘機ではないという。

[@sasukenamikaze3378]

first ww2 game i played lol

[@GPWT-video]

3D Sound?????

[@arthas702]

Did capcom make this to demonstrate that japan lost midway to one jet?

[@spindash64]

jet? jet?! JET?! ...okay, okay, I'll calm down. But seriously, that is most definitely NOT a Jet engine powered aircraft

[@luisreyes1963]

That was a P-38 Lightning, a Lockheed fighter prop plane.

[@MISTAWULFY]

Sorry to pester you, but do you have Maniac Mansion?

[@markkwong9512]

The music is wrong, it sounds like the harmony part only.

[@Hayatenogotokuluey]

^_^ You just did

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Meh soundtrack
