This is one of the few games that got released on the NES that didn’t lose that feel, despite being inferior to the arcade version. And that soundtrack is just incredible!

[@ChristopherBurtraw]

I liked the NES soundtrack better. Probably bias due to having played it and not the arcade. The NES version, even on the not easy mode, is WAYYY easier

[@tengoutdoors1975]

Thank you for finishing the game!!! I used to walk a mile with a dollar to play this game but never was able to beat it. Glad to see the ending of it!

[@fathergabrielstokes4706]

When we played, we were just having fun but we never knew we were making memories Edit: just purchased the Namco Museum game that includes Dragon Spirit on the PS4

[@JoeTheBimbo]

Not the one on this video, but still a dragon spirit game

[@PowderClaws]

Really do wish this game made a return. Childhood memories! Can't be the only one thinking of King Ghidora

[@razorstarzz]

It's available on Arcade1Up Pac-Man HDMI™ Game Console for $40 with a total of 10 original arcade games.

[@Hyper_Drud]

@@razorstarzz thanks for the heads up.

[@andrewvasquez1960]

Also available on namco archives vol 1, 11 games including dragon spirit but you should know the games are the NES ports, personally I prefer the NES dragon spirit because the music and added levels and cut scenes

[@tobiaswalker7562]

I played this on Nes, but never beat it with Blue

[@Lrr_Of_Omikron]

The soundtrack was freaking bad ass

[@megatron8461]

Stage 2 and 4 especially

[@danalong1237]

Shinji Hosoe did an awesome job composing the soundtrack, and would later compose the soundtrack for Street Fighter EX.

[@rendyajadech1957]

Wow no wonder both games are so good 😊 area 3 is my favorite

[@krystalfan]

and did the area 1 arangement for smash ultimate

[@no64256]

Well, now I have a composer to look up. Those two alone already give 'em a great discography

[@digitalrazorbladez]

Damn this game is so 1988! The music takes me back to, (not only playing it every day) but the whole time period: The 8 bit NES, The Huffy Sigma, middle school, Jordan #3, popular songs of the day like Bobby Brown "Don't be cruel" and Eric B & Rakim Paid n Full, and 200 others. Remember putting your "quarter up" "Yeah i got next!"

[@bonesjackson81]

I like this game quite a bit. Love when a shmup gives me something other than space shit. Great change up here.

[@kubyaj3189]

Dam hardest game in my childhood. Dont know how you can beat it.

[@RandomSignz]

Thanks man, this was a game I remembered vividly when I was a kid, I've been looking for the title for 20+ years! I finally found it!!

[@SevenDeMagnus]

I love this shmup, great songs. I wonder why the 8-bit version of the songs (Famicom/NES) sound more epic.

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

I had this for Namco Museum 50th anniversary for Xbox. Good times, man.

[@FacelessGamer2023]

I still remember playing this on namco museum essentials for the first time. Ahh the memories. And this soundtrack slams😍😍😍

[@KarlSturmgewher]

Dragon Spirit's bound for Switch soon! Let's hope dragon Saber can make it too.

[@ToroPrime]

THE CLASSICS NEVER DIE🤘

[@noahpartic7586]

I played this at the arcade in '87-88. Never finished but the soundtrack alone was well worth it. I never knew The Dragon's Name Amul before Tues 1-9-24. My Fave music themes are: -Valley of Spirits -Dense Forest -Deep Sea

[@theodorehsu5023]

A few years back Namco had a webcomics page, "ShiftyLook." "Dragon Spirit" was one of the games that got it's own limited-run series.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

This may be THE most amazing precision gameplay I've EVER seen!!!!! WELL DONE!!!! WOW.

[@jc3drums916]

He's good, but it also looks like he had invincibility on. There was also a lot of careless playing, mostly grabbing any orb (other than black) regardless of what it did. Giving up shrink and green dragon are bad things to do, especially for the temporary gold dragon.

[@warshipsatin8764]

he's using save states

[@10tonhamster]

I REALLY don't want to see how that dragon makes "bombs"

[@Dr.ruby7LT]

I played that on GameCube, NM: 50th Anniversary that is.

[@TachiUk]

Finished this myself a few years ago on my Pi and, while I also used invisibility, I admit I wasn't playing as carefully as you did so well done, you still dodged 80% of attacks 👏

[@RUGER5264]

Loved this game growing up.

[@darrenclements6028]

Dragon Spirit is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with 2Fast 2Furious gameplay and AMAZING graphics Wit AWESOME levels and STUNNINGLY Spectacular Boss battles This is a classic arcade game with a vengeance 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@grimmdanny]

I had this for the TG-16. Great game. And to me, the soundtrack sounded even better on the TG-16.

[@scantronbeats]

Iike how the end uses the phrase "jazzing up with joy"

[@angiectoan4543]

Had this on Gamecube way back when. I was terrible at it. Couldn't beat the first level. Was quite a step up in intensity from Galaga lol.

[@mtshark7]

Amazing run man!

[@jnobs8595]

LOVE this game!!! Great video too!!!

[@thelandsbetween5840]

What a cool game, man.

[@austinperezgk1]

I was 10 when i beat this game on normal difficulty on the PS2. Dont tell my mom i snuck downstairs tho;)

[@KGBZeka]

Good lord, I'd forgotten about the level with the walls closing in. This stressed me out all over again, just like when I was five years old.

[@digitalrazorbladez]

i remember we called it "the cave" it was always my fav music

[@vladmex]

Reminds me when I was 12, such a great game wow

[@Dirty_Noob_X]

This game is too nostalgic.

[@KraftLawrence1]

I fucking LOVED the NES version of this as a kid. Played the hell out of it. I picked it up fairly early on in the PS3 life cycle as part of the Namco Arcade thingy for PS home and couldn't quite beat it. The visibility cone level (which i could have SWORE was level 5 with he moving cave walls) was always my downfall. I like that the final boss in the arcade version is the first prologue boss on NES.

[@outpostorange9580]

Played this on the NES and the music especially the intro bit was not lost on that version

[@BluDrgn426]

The NES version was my childhood. This is the first time in seeing the arcade version!

[@demilembias2527]

really underrated shmup and the first one I ever beat. I like the art style a lot too :D

[@yeapUwin]

Music from 1:10 in my head after 30y :) just epic

[@shemarlosscott5345]

Amazing

[@semirecumbentoneYT]

Best soundtrack ever !

[@umjames]

Had this for the TurboGrafx-16. Not as hard as the arcade version, but the soundtrack is the same. Love the soundtrack on this game.

[@DanTheRoadRippersCollector]

Me either. I couldn't beat the 1st level either, mostly because I was 6 years old.

[@megatron8461]

The volcano stage was the best part in dragon Spirit. But only it sounds more like a metal riff.

[@alejandroberlanga9277]

2020, como extraño este juego...............

[@wewyllenium]

Probably the only way to see and experience glaciers in 2040 :(

[@BoloBolando]

Good game

[@elongatedcarrot3704]

I remember being so bad at this game.

[@ericandre5060]

Why is it that sometimes the first level has a different opening to the level on other play throughs?

[@DivineFalcon]

Kind of get some Dragon Breed vibes here. Were they developed by the same people?

[@arthoniandefender4163]

I couldn't even beat the first area.

[@hugofarias9150]

Great game, c'mon, the true spirit from the 80s game industen!

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Whoa!! At 2:09, dont think that powerup was on NES version, was it?!

[@undertakerg1827]

I want a remake

[@yassetgarcia5409]

For the longest time I thought i hallucinogens game

[@speedut2004]

remind me of elemental master of genesis

[@majid_q8925]

👏👍👍👍🌷

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

Its sad that you can only grow Three heads. Why is three the limit? Why not three hundred heads!!!?

[@Dr.ruby7LT]

Because adding another head will increase the size of the dragon and it makes a little harder to dodge the enemy attacks. That’s why.

[@JackTheGamer3]

U know what’s funny? I just got done playing this on my Xbox 360

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

1:00

[@DataDashy]

lol at 10:46 i didnt even realize its a flowerthingy u can only shoot the seeds with your close aerial bomb i was shooting it for like 15 mins no results lol

[@rendyajadech1957]

Why shooting both weapons at the same time? It's not very effective

[@ssdivizion]

Level 9 is impossible without cheats ,also this game reminds of Konami's engines,it looks like Konami game,I guess they are used the same engine,greetings from Balkans,Macedonia

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

Really okay.

[@YuukoEnjoyer]

It sounds a lot like a TurboGrafx game

[@jeromedado7416]

Would you do a long run playing for Henry hartsworth,monter tale,or Thor god of thunder on DS this game is totally recommended and as a hidden gems 😊

[@warshipsatin8764]

i hated the stage with beehives and growing thorns

[@Bonefoot]

Embers told me about this game. So, anyways, how you doin'? I made a Moominhouse, but LEGO didn't want it. I made a mosaic out of my cat's face though. Thanks for listening.-
