Darkwing Duck (NES) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

[@kicel1252009991_Vankip]

Most jazzy OST on NES. Fuking badas, groovy and super catchy. 8:13 Fuking goosebumps

[@BierTK]

No, it's not. Here's why - search for the Snake Rattle'n'Roll soundtrack. You'll thank me later.

[@Weloz92]

Such a great soundtrack, so "bluesy"! Wolfduck's City is my favorite theme!

[@flyer3849]

Weloz92 the ending is sweet too

[@ReneCarteBlanche]

the ending is my favorite, it's sick.

[@artman40]

It does use blues scales after all.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Steelbeak's theme reminds me of Zoot Suits and Jazz for some reason!

[@Dogesman]

Moliarty's theme is my favorite. I honestly consider it very underrated

[@sumitdas9428]

Me too man ...I love this theme so much.

[@mmmonster6891]

agreed best stage theme in this game with great climax

[@rebeccadyer8446]

A coworker/manager recommended this music for our shift before the store opens, great music! Now I'll have to look at video game playthroughs after work 😂

i came here for Bushroot's Forest :D

[@i_am_ergo]

Amen, brother.

[@zergidrom4572]

ye its TOP :)

[@fcv4616]

I never played this game, but I fell in LOVE with this score! My favourite tracks are "Quackerjack's bridge" and "Steelbeak's floating fortress!", they're so energetic and catchy!

[@Acrosurge]

Oh man, the chip-jazz is soo good. The Bridge, Tower, Sewers, the Forest... they're all amazing.

[@Crowster12781]

An underrated gem..not quite the level of Duck Tales or Resuce Rangers but just below... It's more or less Mega Man with Darkwing Duck...and that's every bit as awesome as it sounds.

[@Pixelman007]

Capcom, what have happend to you?! Back in those days you were the best 3rd party developer for NES, and now what?

[@AlluMan96]

You know what, considering how samey MM 4, 5 & 6 were, them continuing not only Resident evil, but also Megaman X against the creators' wishes as well as the whole "Super hyper turbo Street fighter 2 limited champion edition" bullshit, I'm convinced that Capcom was always an at least slightly evil company to begin with. It's just that all the people that actually cared have now abandoned them due to the bullshit that they've had to deal with. Inafune, Mikami, Kamiya, every last one that made the company a somebody left them & went on their own, leaving Capcom in the financial ditch that they are in right now.

[@RyuFalchionX]

AlluMan96 I feel you. I remember that whole MMX6 debacle., Oh, Capcom.

[@VolkannGul]

Capcom still one of the best. And now they are making revolution with new DMC V.

[@GiordanDiodato]

they've gotten better

[@SecondPlace92]

Capcom.has finally been on the upswing these past few years

[@jimozhang9403]

I played the game more than 25 years ago; now I still feel the BGM is so good, especially love 7:54 and 9:04 :)

[@VadimShinnik]

3:35 Liquidator's Sewer

[@right_hand_power7960]

I remembered that one the most, in the time since I last played this long ago.

[@ShadowSumac]

While many people think of Darkwing Duck as "just a MegaMan clone", which it is to certain degree, I must say, that I like this game a bit more than MegaMans: Darkwing has more abilities, which make the game more varied and fun and also I like jazzy soundtrack, being partial to the jazz / blues in general. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact, that Darkwing Duck was my first "big" game on the NES, no sir!!

[@cookeris]

i think the engine is the same as megaman's. don't remember which one's.

[@ShadowSumac]

@@cookeris Megaman 5's.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Mega Man 4 > Darkwing Duck > Mega Man 1 & 3 > Mega Man 2, 5 & 6.

[@rizkiakbar3403]

what the duck!! yeah

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

I mean I love this game to bits but, more abilities? he's got 3 gasses, grab edges, duck and shield. Megaman had 8 weapons, slide, and rush dog abilities

[@chrisrj9871]

DuckTales -> The Moon Chip N' Dale RR -> Stage J Darkwing Duck -> Bushroot's Forest

[@frun]

Simply one of the best games on NES

[@edwardgaines6561]

Steelbeak's Theme is just so frigging dope. It just evokes zoot suits and Jazzy soeakeasies for some reason!

[@philiplonidier]

I've always, as a whole, loved the soundtrack in this game! Moliarty's Tower and Bushroot's Forest were my favorites, but I have to say that Bushroot's Forest reminds me of a Game Gear Sonic tune (like it might feel right at home in a Game Gear entry.)

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

Sonic 2 (Game Gear): Sky High Zone and Sonic Chaos: Aqua Planet zone... ..Right? Fun fact: All three of these tracks have swing to them and are written at least partially in a Blues scale. Their similarity is no coincidence! Bit of extra trivia: This Darkwing Duck game's musical composer was Yasuaki Fujita, who also worked on Mega Man 3's music. You'll notice similar vibes in some of that game's tracks.

[@philiplonidier]

GravianS You're exactly right. Sky High Zone and Aqua Planet Zone both definitely share a similar style to the Bushroot's Forest theme. Also, I was unaware that the composer worked on Mega Man 3's music. I wonder which tracks in particular (didn't Mega Man 3 have more than one composer?)

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Apparently the composing for Mega Man 3 was given to Harumi Fujita, who only finished doing Gemini Man and Magnet Man before something happened and then Yasuaki Fujita came in and finished the rest of the soundtrack, making Yasuaki the main composer for most of the game.

[@super_vitaminko]

god it's so fucking jazzy, i love it

[@Megatyrant]

Ah, great memories. Somewhat hard game, however it still rests in my "completed" pile. The soundtrack is indeed awesome. :)

[@XISMZERO]

Bun Bun went swing jazz crazy for this! Great stuff

[@ViktorL2000]

[@russin3d]

Quacker Jack's Bridge 🔥🔥🔥

[@HappyJarekIII]

[@guarianforttress]

The ending credits is so underrated theme. That could be a Megaman ending theme 👍

[@InfinityDz]

I've covered it on my channel, with acoustic guitars, if you're interested

[@eightbitgnosis]

12:42 It's like a Proto Man's Theme remix

[@felorobotoscope]

Same composer.

[@josefacandido7190]

[@roman_zubrilin_88]

❤❤❤❤

[@suribro]

Thanks so much for your video's man! it helps me alot while tabbing out the songs and now im done with all the stages :D

[@dqluan]

haha, my childhood actually remembers this game as "Rockman (Megaman) 5". I always thought the art direction suddenly took a really weird turn for a Rockman game :D It turned out that I actually played some sort of strange bootleg cartridge where the sprite was changed to rockman sprite, and the dialogues, etc. was changed too to make Darkwing duck into a sort of Rockman game...

[@Hhesu]

The forest theme is my favorite!

[@RainePhoenix]

Yasuaki Fujita (Bun Bun) has been well known for composing jazzy scores for Capcom. From Photo man's (Blues) bluesy theme, to Shadow Man's theme, to the end theme of Mega Man 4. This soundtrack is brilliant and fits the tone of the game and property perfectly.

[@GiordanDiodato]

he also did the music to Breath of Fire

[@right_hand_power7960]

Protoman

[@scottythegreat1]

Destiny of An Emperor 2 is also a masterpiece. Too bad it was only released in Japan. He is also known for creating the Capcom logo jingle.

[@slutenanstalt9950]

Christ, the ending is just pure Mega Man material.

[@mmmonster6891]

made by the same composer, he is jazz pianist thats why

[@TrueHolyRune]

Man. Beat this game recently and still is awesome. I like the credits. DW wipes out. So funny.

[@TehMorbidAtheist]

2:42 - 3:05 so much win.

[@guarianforttress]

Credits theme is so underrated

[@mmmonster6891]

you can never hear whole thing because DW encounter a stone on a road but i think there should be list of people who make the game but developers decide not to add it to make game faster i suppose

[@Yuuretsu]

If you watch the show, it's clearly more of a spoof of Batman. It's also one of the best cartoons Disney has ever made

[@Sidekick1107]

Hahaha right

[@keselekbakiak]

i never had problem with the last boss, but that chicken mechanic with fire spitting machine is way harder than the last boss

[@ShadowSumac]

Indeed. Steal Beak battle is really basic, which is strange, considering that most of the boss fights before had some kind of gimmick (save for battles with Quaker Jack and Megavolt).

[@keselekbakiak]

maybe, they just run out of ideas.

[@keselekbakiak]

[@ShadowSumac]

***** Keep telling yourself that, and maybe one day it will become true. Nah, it won't. ))

[@stigludwigsen]

The ending is a bit similar to that of megaman 4.

[@dqluan]

This game rocks solid indeed! It was as hard as any Rockman game and as innovative, so knowing no better as a kid, I simply thought that they try to change things up in Rockman 5 the formula got a bit stale after 2 to 4. I mean, Rockman 1 was also quite different from 2 to 4, so it's logical that Rockman 5 should have crocodiles and dog enemies right? Must be the good Doctor Wily taking design cues from nature. yeah. that must be it.

[@Yuuretsu]

Alas, Capcom became bloated and greedy, like an EA of Japan. Practices like on-disc DLC and wanting to be part of the action-shooter genre, they gave their best franchises the finger and their ridiculous budgets failed to recoup themselves in sales because fans wouldn't have it. Sadly, with Capcom failing to listen to fans, their current state is the only way this could have ended up.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

They are better off continuing putting there games on Virtual Console for WiiU/3DS, I'm sure fans would love to experience games they published here rather than deal with what they are doing now.

[@i_am_ergo]

***** Duck Tales got a remastered version. Fingers crossed for DD. Props for this awesome upload/share!

[@Matt-Rat]

One of my favorite NES songs ever!

[@bardhi09]

Bun Bun is the shit

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

I thought the publisher would be Disney, since they own the rights to the show. I already know Capcom developed this game.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Not sure they wanted to be involved in any direct Publishing, they thought they would be better off just licensing it, which was mostly a good choice on there part.

[@GiordanDiodato]

I would expect nothing less from the composer for the majority of Breath of Fire.

[@sjalistra]

Too bad there's no european version of the songs. These sound to me like on 1.25x speed

[@nidraxbeats]

+Sjalistra Belmont You know tunes on PAL were mostly still 150 bpm just like NTSC ones... Unless you played US console on a PAL tv...

[@sjalistra]

+Nidrax Beats well I got the console to this day and the tunes are in 50hz man

[@nidraxbeats]

50Hz is the screen refresh rate. Console CPU/GPU and Sound clock were actually the same or a multiple of it. So on most consoles the sound was still the same on PAL and NTSC, because the songs were made in 150 bpm, just for it to be a nice common multiple of 25 and ~30 (TV refresh rate divided by 2). As I can see you are Pole like me, so I suppose you don't speak about the official Eropean NES, but about Pegasus, which is actually a port of NTSC Japanese Famicom slowed down to work with PAL TV. That's why games on Pegasus and any clone of it are slowed down. Because those are Japanese 59,94 Hz Games working on European TV's 50 Hz.

[@nidraxbeats]

clyp.it/rutmwcll That's how it would sound on a Pegasus/Famiclone.

[@sjalistra]

Sorry for disrespecting you but I didn't even read that. I had a famiclone when I was a kid and I remember that songs were slower. For other people: Instal some HTML5 video speed controller and set it on 0.834 and enjoy :)
