Batman - Streets Of Desolation (1 Hour)

NES Batman - Stage 1 music.

[@NOOBEPICASSO]

I close my eyes, im 6 years old sitting in the living room, playing this game on high volume through a big ol' crt tv

[@srujan00]

NES games were designed for CRT TVs. If you play with an emulator today, you notice the "flatness" and difference.

[@NOOBEPICASSO]

@@srujan00 Gaming consoles designed for Tv's of the same era? no way!

[@webspec]

The composer was a genius. Appreciating that this is within the limitations of 8-bits makes this song an art that, just like "Oil-painting" explains the ins and outs of the technique, an 8-bit canvas song will pass along history.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

i think Nintendo offered Japanese studios programmers much better info about sound programming

[@QuetzalcoatlGames]

If I'm not wrong I believe the composer is "Naoki Kodaka" astounding work in Batman and other videogames too

The percussion sounds they got out of the NES, and the percussion itself, is great.

[@N3Selina]

on a technical aspect i am impressed that this song uses a lot of echoes, meaning it sacrifices the two main melodic channels for one melody. it's so good though!!!

I'm surprised I don't remember ever seeing this track in any list of greatest NES music. This easily beats most of music tracks from Megaman for example.

[@jaguargrenadier1111]

There is something about this theme together with that pixelated skyline in blue with the moon above it in red that scratches a deep nostalgic itch for me.

[@christianmonturanoii6539]

One of best game songs ever

[@SJtheMFZB]

Between all of the beeps and boops of NES fare, this is the only song I've heard that decidedly registers 'fast jazz'. It beggars belief that this was the product of a major release by a major developer during the console's lifespan.

[@docholliday7157]

Robin was the one who disliked this (butthurt he wasn't in this magnificent game)

[@PROBOTCREATIONZ]

Personally favourite tone forever❤️

[@vembrace]

This song could run for 12 hours straight and I still would never get tired of it.

[@TheFlyingSailorYT]

This game was an absolute BANGER.

[@furrykef]

Trivia: in the Japanese version of the game, this music was switched with the level 2 (factory) music. I think the Western version had it right.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Sunsoft, I’m assuming? It has their signature style, after all.

[@coruscant100]

Damn right it's Sunsoft. They always managed to deliver some of the greatest music during the NES era.

[@gray3182]

Yup

[@martinquetzal5346]

More than Susoft, possibly the same composer worked for Sunsoft for several years and games. For example, Nobuo Uematsu's style is very recognizable, from final fantasy XIII to Legend of Legacy.

[@JJ-qo7th]

It's kind of nuts how you can pick out who made old-school games by the soundfonts in their tracks. Sunsoft games have a sweet bass. Capcom games have that characteristic percussive noises. Stuff like that.

[@DmitryChmelyov]

Soundtrack for this game was even better than Elfman's score for the film, and it was actually great.

[@sunsetman22]

to be quite frank with you chief, Elfman's score and its status as the "definitive" Batman theme are just a result of it being overrated.

jokes on you real crime happens in offices and meetings

[@robertramsey8871]

@@Avrelivs_Gold Jokes on you, crime happens in both places and people in board rooms don't cause rape and theft as opposed to protecting venerable people and hard work. Blaming society or hierarchies for stepping out of line is like blaming air or water. There will always be a hierarchy for human beings and those with the lowest impulse-control will always be at the bottom of it because if nothing else those slightly above them will always be there to keep them in line

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@robertramsey8871 for such low-level crimes you don't need a superhero, you just need a decent law and order system, and self-defense methods like guns. Which systems will never happen with actual super-villains like Xi or Putin out there. Those guys kill and destroy lives for millions of people, for decades. Not your micro street thug crime.

[@Ragitsu]

@@robertramsey8871 When economic inequality (perpetuated by folks wielding fountain pens and wearing Armani as opposed to Glocks and ski masks) is the status quo, that other sort of crime flourishes; content (i.e., fed and sheltered) and educated people rarely resort to sexual assault and thievery.

Hi. I suscribe your channel. A great Like

[@RetroArcadeFan1]

Hi

[@skaar312]

Very motivating music and nostalgic

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

I used to just turn it on before going to school in the morning. It always made me think about how cool it would be if Batman was real and I wondered if it's possible to build a real life Batmobile. Never liked Nolan's monster Batman, it misses the realistic confidence of this Tim Burton's Batman...

[@cjones3710]

Nolans Batman roars like a wierdo.

[@savage7882]

Tim Burton Batman was a completely different iteration. It made the story more plausible rather than just a weird guy in a suit.

[@aldodellarocca1238]

Back in college we had a class related to video design, and one of our projects there was to analyze how Nolan's Batman can work in a real life setting.

[@knightrider4545]

I love this song but I never played the game growing up. As far as the real life Batmobile, I wonder if the Dodge Viper could have been influenced by the 1989 Batmobile? The thing is so sleek looking and powerful. Just paint it black, tint the windows dark, and it's done. The only thing it lacks is the flames coming out the back. If I remember correctly they took a page from Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" and applied it to Tim Burton's Batman. No more Adam West Batman but darker and more serous.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@knightrider4545 it's about guns and armor but not as much as tank, realistic amount. After all, criminals are real, and Batman as other superheroes were to give people some relief as police never did the job

[@maxbrandt6]

It would be cool to hear this tune in the next Batman movie, I'm sure there is a scene this would fit perfectly for.

[@srujan00]

the only type I can think of is where Batman is driving or flying somewhere, without need for dialogue.

[@maxbrandt6]

@@srujan00 I agree, that's where it would be best used, a driving scene where Batman is driving past all that beautiful but aging Art Deco architecture of Gotham, a sense of splendor and trepidation and urgency is what this musical piece says to me.

[@alchemistofsteel8099]

what about in a cartoon or video game?

[@TwistZero]

@@alchemistofsteel8099 maybe they should do a retro videogame with this music, release it on the NES, even. Maybe base the game on a movie from that time so that it feels even more authentic

[@Sh0tgunJust1ce]

Batman was a legit good game though. Not the absolute best for the NES, but certainly in the higher echelons.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Maybe you should take a longer time to look at the big picture. I'm not denying higher standards, greater variety and advances in technology mean you'll likely find a good game now easier than then, but this Batman game was good for a start. A lot of games today suffer from streamlining genres to the point where every shooter has the same types of guns (pistol, shotgun, sniper, etc.). And that's not including how updates, microtransactions and especially lootboxes can hold back otherwise good games. Also, music is like graphics in that it's part of the game experience. Batman Arkham games don't have noteworthy tracks beyond adding to atmosphere. That's important too but it's inoffensive at best and boring at worst.
