​Batman megadrive soundtrack

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

5:28 This was my favorite song on the soundtrack. This was thirty-two years ago. Time has flown.

Time is an abstraction. Like a kilometer or centimeter. It doesn't actually exist. So it can't go anywhere.

[@vitorpb8355]

Som fodão sem dúvida!!!

[@sarome_adrian1234]

I knorwright? it's really catchy. That and Gotham Cathedral are my favourite ones

[@chinossynthesizer705]

Is that the yamaha2612 and sn76489 singing together

[@VitorKormann]

Same here! The best of of this game, and one of the best musics from mega drive I think. Incredible how retro-soundtracks can stick to your mind and new videogame generation orchestral soundtracks don't.

[@chinossynthesizer705]

@@VitorKormann yep

[@GuyAPerson]

Even on the Genesis, Sunsoft were absolute masters at bass.

[@GuyAPerson]

Yeah, but Sunsoft is known for that awesome bass sound they pulled off on the NES, way better than on any other company's games. I Can't link an example but look up Journey to Silius. That sound.

[@Maru96]

Sunsoft did great music in general, Super Fantasy Zone and Superman for Genesis also have fantastic music. Journey to silius used a sampled bass i think, pretty impressive but that's not PSG.

[@Alianger]

+Guy A. Person True, though this one's all FM (and PSG) - no samples were used.

[@turricanrocks1552]

Guy A. Person agreed. Especially the plot's theme. Which is hugely atmospheric. And amazing!

[@anterax4097]

Guy A. Person Known for bloody excellent games in general. And yeah Kodaka-san is (was?) such a talent. He also did Albert Odyssey but he wasn’t heard from again after that

[@titanicness5632]

As soon as the video came to 2:10, I got goosebumps! Gotham City Streets is easily one of the Sega Genesis songs ever

[@Deathryzer]

That’s the song I came here for. I was 14 yrs old playing this 30 years ago!

[@nakamanga5412]

You can feel the Naoki Kodaka style on the soundtrack. I can imagine hearing this on the NES

[@andersdenkend]

Another great, great, great Sunsoft soundtrack. They really had a winning streak back then.

[@mmmonster6891]

thanks to Naoki Kodaka

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

Every song in this game's soundtrack is gold!

[@porcorosso81]

I think this is one of the Mega Drive / Genesis soundtracks which require a real YM2612 for correct playback, because the aliasing noise of the flawed DAC design was used as part of the sound design. On emulators, the instrumens fade away too quickly, while on a real YM2612, the decay phases are much longer audible. Btw, truly great channel, thank you very much for taking the time to make high quality recordings on real hardware, so that people can actually experience what the real hardware sounds like. All YM2612 software emulations out there do NOT emulate the real characteristics of the DAC.

[@Alianger]

+porcorosso81 Any standout example of that? Haven't noticed it myself.

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

+Alianger Off the top of my head, the decay at the end of the Streets of Rage title theme is one. You can also kind of abuse it by setting patches to low volume and detuning them between two channels to get a pretty convincing chorus effect. I think the DAC stuff isn't emulated yet because it's not well understood. If you set Genesis Plus GX to have 7 bit output, you get a pretty close approximation though.

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

***** Does the 2612 really use floating-point internally? Seems sort of wasteful when it just gets truncated down like that. There exists a FM synth VST plugin (Dexed) that can be set to an "OPL" mode where it uses a sine look-up table based on OPL3 to get the values of the sine waves used in the synthesis. It sounds pretty good--I use it in my own music. It makes me wonder if 2612 emulation could be implemented in a similar way. Aside from that you'd need to simulate more than just a low-pass filter. There is also the nonlinearity of op-amps to consider. I also think a truly great emulator would be able to authentically reproduce the awful sound output of a Model 2 VA1.8 with the terrible overengineered LM358 based amplifier. :)

[@drewsamuels3732]

porcorosso81 x men had this beat

[@GenesHand]

You can emulate the YM2612 now with the right emulator.

[@Chadius]

That Boss Theme is a remix of the NES Boss Theme...excellent. Those bells on the final boss theme...wow.

[@GaliMercury]

Damn! You're right! Those tubular bells say 'fight-to-the-death'! It's badass and exhilarating!

[@rbledsaw3]

***** Stage 3 is also a remix of NES's Stage 2. And I believe Stage 4-1 is loosely based on NES's Stage 3.

[@Yuuretsu]

+Robert Bledsaw III The Stage 6-1 theme sounds like a remix of the stage 3 theme of Batman for the PC Engine, which also has excellent music considering the hardware.

[@MrAxelStone]

cripes....hearing these songs again brings back so many early 90s memories. I wish I could go back and live in the 90s. Glorious decade for me.

[@gppereira0905]

The Batmobile's soundtrack stage is very,very cool! :)

[@multiplexor9426]

если бы я не купил эту игру, я бы не знал что у неё такие классные саундтреки!

[@GaliMercury]

God. That ending theme is a masterpiece! Such great harmonies. It sounds lively and full, which I why I love it so much!

[@KingJoffy]

It is actually a variation of a song by Prince called "Scandalous" which is on the batman movie soundtrack

[@GaliMercury]

That is really damn cool.

[@dustingd1]

I always thought I was the only one to notice that! Glad I wasn't alone! If you really listen the whole game soundtrack is an amalgam of the Prince Soundtrack and Danny Elfman's Score.

[@mrmadmight266]

I love how the cover uses a couple screenshots from the NES version.

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

And when you start the game you see the true 16-bit masterpiece .

[@giggina8796]

My first Sega Megadrive Game, was japanese imported version, was expansive for that time, something like 100 dollars, but i fell in love very fast with magistral music and super gameplay, the levels with the batmobile and jet were super also, what a game!!!!! Love Sunsoft, underrated Company.

2:40 track resembles night time Moscow in 90's! Allot of pop music in Russia was inspired by video game music back then. Very close sound association with this track! Even the level kidna resembled it too.

[@Crunchifyable2]

is this an actual song? the track at 2:40 Gotham city streets is one of my fave tracks, one that sounds better than most video game music. so good that I'm playing around with remixes and 80s. rock versions.

[@---po3tf]

на мой взгляд трек на 10:30 прям буквально звучит как инструментал с русской эстрады 90-ых, что-то прям оч знакомое. и саундтрек в целом. согласен полностью.

[@woody78kw55]

The music to level 2 is epic!!

[@amilcarpv]

One of the best scores for a video game! It is also interesting watching this game box desing, on the back you can clearly see that the images are not from megadrive port, but from the NES version of Batman which was also great. Thanks for sharing!

[@Trid3nt861]

My very first Batman Game was undoubtedly the Batman game on the NES back in 1989/1990. Never got to play this one when I was young.

[@AnimeX-99]

I Remember is when this Game was first brought to me by my Father, and first came to the world of games - To say that I lost SLEEP at night I am talking about the time of "1998" .. If anything after first love 8bit Game 🕹😥 [ I played a lot day after day and night after night ]

[@jeremym9011]

Japan has ALWAYS made the better licensed games. This game is a prime example.

[@strangevision99]

This game is not a prime example, this game was average but had great music! I think more good licensed games were made in Japan, but Goldeneye was developed in the English countryside and was better than this and maybe even sounded as good.

[@magoid]

I wouldn't say always, but mostly of the time, sure. For example, 007 GoldenEye on the N64 was a masterpiece and it was made on the UK.

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

They had plenty of mediocre or crappy licensed games for their local franchises. We just didn't get them in the West.

[@camulodunon]

Batman Returns on Sega CD. Batman and Robin on Genesis.

[@vice86]

i just learn today, 29 years after buying Batman for Genesis, that they used NES screen shots on the back. Well I'll be dipped.

[@runback22]

I'm very nostalgic for this game. Honestly, the game is pretty average, but everytime I fire it up and always end up playing it to the end for the sole reason of the amazing music. I play and find myself tapping my feet and jamming out to the beats. Awesome soundtrack, right up there with the 1st streets of rage

[@MagnumP88]

The great thing about this game was the difficulty. I remember being like 5 or 6 and not being able to get past the Museum. Frustrating, but the music BUMPED. Then when I did, it was the car level that had me for a while. Cool soundtrack, but again, frustrating. Then I got to Gotham Streets three, and was treated with yet another bomb song. And when you get to the first cathedral level, it's like "woah this is the end stretch, now!" What I'd give to go back be six years old again.
