Batman - Return of the Joker (NES) - Stages 1 & 6 Music

[@aktuber101]

This is some epic legendary music. You can easily tell it's rock music with the drums and all.

[@retrosven8928]

Yes that is right, or with the right keyboard and synthi, and the drums make this more fun 🎹🥁🎹🥁😊😊😊😊😊😊(good old days) 🤗🤗😌😌😌😌😌

[@fwobebe5164]

Definitely get'n some Black Sabbath Megalomania vibes.

[@OofmanRulz]

Like AVGN said, SunSoft games had wicked awesome music and this is proof.

[@CocaLightMan]

Quality of the sound seems like a Genesis game, Sunsoft really impressed me!!

[@sr.cieloazul572]

Te amo.

[@lulapisani7985]

Well I think that the game for Nes version is better than the Genesis version, one of the few cases where this occurs. Personally I like more the graphics , music, fx effects and commmands of the NES version than genesis / megadrive version.

[@Czyszy]

better

[@itlooksdelicious7388]

I stay doing the batdance every time I boot this game up

[@baiwatch1]

itlooksdelicious Batdance. omg.

[@dcb99filmz]

[@Alysa-Aiday]

0:00 Rock 0:16 Techno/Mystery 0:32 Cheery/Adventurous sounding 0:57 Climactic All rolled into one!? *GENIUS!!*

[@mmmonster6891]

mostly all of Naoki Kodaka tracks consists of 3 parts besides introduction.

[@FreeFlow__]

This game has a special place in my heart. I was 5 years old at that time and i was in love with it mainly because of the music, the atmosphere and of course the dopest box art I have ever seen.

[@Mandragorian]

I remember when i first bought this game, i just put down the controller and maxed the volume, haven't done that since in a game. And that was back in 91

[@vaderx0179]

Every time I here a Sunsoft theme in a NES game, I dance in my chair like a nerd

[@valorium10]

This piece of 8-bit music is more epic than many of the orchestrated symphonies in AAAs today.

[@PinkoJack]

Francis Moy No its not. Its a great track but take off those nostalgia glasses.

[@ecbrd8478]

Agreed I don't even think I have to hear the soundtracks of any modern batman game to know this is better And I don't wear nostalgia glasses, I wear choice specs

[@FullHitPoints]

Michael Martinez Can you hum the theme to the latest Call of Duty while you're at work or school? The problem with modern game music is that they're all trying to be "epic," but end up sounding generic and unmemorable.

[@Mr_x_19922]

Francis Moy of course

[@pejnismiggle]

***** I can hum the main tune of Batman: Arkham City, It's fucking amazing. Look, I fucking love this tune, and will forever cherish BIT music, but you must acknowledge the some of orchestrated bits. Look at Mario Galaxy or Sonic Colors or, hell, any modern Mario game and you'll notice all the finer details of Orchestra.

[@ixcauatzin]

In my opinion, this game was a NES masterpiece: awesome soundtrack, great graphics for its time, and a different face for Batman. surrealistic, oniric...i mean, shooting at his foes with no remorse? going berserker in a golden armor? flying across gotham with a rocket attached? whoever has chance to try it, must do it!

[@popis3493]

Remember the penultimate level following a tank and the floor breaking behind you? My favorite was the sewer with the water dropping from above

[@ItchyBarracuda]

This song is amazing. I can't stop listening to it. It's quite possibly the best 8 bit song ever made

[@FlickFlag]

"Oooh, the bat dance!!"

[@ventilatorlp9171]

Ho hahahaha!

[@ShadowOfNexxus]

I never grew up with the nes or even snes but I have to admit soundtracks back then were freaking amazing

[@samtyn]

Damn, I was looking for this sound for years. The first 16 sec was always playing in my brain .thanks

[@captainninjax7561]

Sunsoft games had the best music hands down!!! Batman, Batman: Revenge of the Joker, Blaster Master, Gremlins 2, Fester's Quest & Journey to Silius has AMAZING tracks

[@ProfRenderer]

***** And Gimmick!/Mr. Gimmick if you were to get a repro cart of the USA prototype. Or a ROM of the Japanese version (Gimmick!).

[@captainninjax7561]

+HeroSteve6070 I'll have to check that out

[@ProfRenderer]

Highly recommended. In my opinion, the best Sunsoft soundtrack of all time. But be warned, it is very tough, so if you got some good skill and you mastered video games, you got a good challenge at hand.

[@doomfan5500]

Captain Ninja X don’t forget RESCUE: The embassy mission

[@hermanherman5834]

It's easy to be impressed by how far they managed to push the hardware for these two Batman games on NES.

[@soundspark]

The mapper actually chopped the CHR-ROM window into 1K banks, and sprites were animated by swapping banks (and rearranging the OAM as necessary). This fine granularity of the CHR banks also allowed for the parallax effects in the sky.

[@VonTaylan]

It is not only the hardware for the Nes.. the cartridges for these games had extra chips in it for better sound.

[@TheMrRuttazzo]

Somewhere in the distance, when the night and the city are silent, you can still hear the Joker screaming while getting the C64 Batman game box shoved up his butt.

[@tthomaselli2]

I had trouble beating this game, at first & I would get frustrated with it, easily when I was a kid, but, for some unknown reason, this was my all-time favorite song from it & to this day, I'm still in love with it. Good thing somebody from mine & my sister's youth group in our old church was as big of a video game & Batman fan as I was & it was great to see that he was good with this game & he would help me out on some of the harder levels.; His step-dad was one of the youth pastors & I got along with both this kid & his step-dad really easily... Who knows where they are, now, though. Child-hood memories...

[@gaussiano]

is metal, thats why you liked this song

[@SilverChariotx]

sunsoft makes the best music

[@primusvsunicron1]

Time to do the bat dance *presses the up button*

[@navi-charlotte]

I love this game :3 I cannot play my NES rigth now and I wanted to listen to the music. Thanks for uploading it!

[@LightningCayo]

Admit it; you cannot unsee the Bat Dance from AVGN with this song.

[@WednesdayMan]

it's perfectly fitting the joker is on the cover art. DO THE BAT DANCE!

[@NoriMori1992]

I just want to get it on record that it's not just nostalgia that makes this song great. I've never played retro games, but I heard 0:58 in a Summoning Salt video, and I was like "What the hell is this?!" and opened his music list so I could find out what it was.

[@popis3493]

Now imagine being a 6 yrs old kid starting a new game being Batman and having this music from the very first moment of the game

[@nekoeko500]

First time I played this game, I knew I wanted to remember this song even as an adult and here I am, thanks to yt and the guy who uploaded it ☺

None other comes close

[@YourPalAlRetroGamer]

Capcom: Hold my beer.

[@krystallinekris]

Honestly, I would say Tim and Geoff Follin, no matter which company they worked for, were the most epic composers of the NES era. And they had to work with shitty games most of the time. I'd like to see one of them given a game like this to work on for once.

[@ThePlamzJoker]

A brilliant piece of music, if I do say so myself. ;)

[@sebastiann.8088]

Make more Michael Rosen YTP my good sir!

[@MrFloryn88]

My god what music !! NES Era was and will forever be the best ever made in human history !! No songs from todays very advanced chips can ever come close to this !! It is pure and simple unbeliveble what they made with that 8chip !! MY GOD !

[@TommySasaki]

This is the magic of Naoki Kodaka, I recognize the sound from Journey to Silius

[@Granattaaaaaa]

Holy shit this song is so goddamn awesome. I remember playing Gremlins 2 by Sunsoft, which was awesome. Shame I never played this baby:(

[@Hayao]

I'd recommend you give it a shot, it's an incredible game.

[@NocturneFexy]

Granattaaaaaa It's a fun game overall, but damn it's hard, very hard.

[@sebastiann.8088]

@@NocturneFexy If I can beat Batman on NES than I'm pretty sure this game isn't as hard as people claim it to be :p

[@joshuajackson5656]

@@sebastiann.8088 It's not as hard as the first batman on NES. I beat this one but never could beat the joker on the first game. Even the batman returns game on nes is easy compared to this one.

[@PlaystationMarth]

You should definitely play this game, it's one of my favorite NES games.

[@redrevanantarcdemon441]

Good old music. Wish we had a remake.

Se fijaron con qe pocos recursos para la epoca se pudo acer estas musicas, geniales y me qedo corto con todas las palabras q use marcaron una epoca de estar enserrado a los 14 años en la pieza solo con el batman 2 para jugar eso era todo.

Thank you Sunsoft!!

[@jacklopes696]

When I saw this album for the fist time I imagened the Joker in a rooftop at night loking at the horizon, seen the batman symbol and thinking "Ha, ha, ha! Looks like the party will begin!"

[@williambarsaloux229]

Did anyone else turn their head in rhythm to the music?

[@PythonPolaris]

That's the best way to dance to this.

without exaggerating this is probably the best piece of video game music I've ever heard

[@paulblart7378]

You sure about that? I think Gimmick and Journey to Silius are peak Sunsoft ost. And this song easily loses to Shatterhand and Silver Surfer.

[@frivolousjulius7492]

LJN music isn't actually that bad in my opinion. Yeah, there's some stinkers in there, but games like A Nightmare on Elm Street have some decent songs in there that was actually composed by David Wise (Who worked on the OST for the DKC games).

[@amso7169]

for an nes game this game had amazing graphics and good music..though the game is extremely hard but still good

Hail SunSoft! This could have been used on the SNES and it would have fitted perfectly for the era.

Just recently replayed this game, forgot how good it is :)

That PCM bass is freakin' awesome

[@explod2A03]

Correct! There are two for pulse waves (also called square, although pulse is more accurate), one for triangle, one for noise, and one for samples.

high quality 8-bit theme!! awesome!

[@argeniscanez9503]

Who knownd what happened to Sound Soft in later generations, their games for SNES had terrible sound and music and were boring, but their NES ones were amazing, and this is one of their finest
