Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - 8-bit Battle 2 (Boss Battle) on Famitracker

[@Saethori]

I know the song's old. I know the song's short. I know the game it came from wasn't really the best. But this song is still one of my strongest childhood memories, ever.

[@josephdouglas6482]

They music from Mystic Quest was top tier. Anyone can say what they want about the game play, the music is absolutely top tier.

[@xKuragu]

Awesome rendition dude, and really, this game is very memorable with all ita gimmicks and obviously with its awesome soundtrack. The guys who composed this back in the day should be freaking proud of this masterpiece.

[@Incurso91]

This is VRC6. Definitely capable of being played on an NES. Also, awesome job. I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Mystic Quest for more than its music.

[@jawnsunn]

The fact that you retained the ultra hype intro just completely baffles me. You did a damn good job, man!

[@Chugalg]

The background of this song always made me think of a racing game. One of the best battle songs ever, and yet another perfect rendition.

[@coatlesscarl]

I'm using the Konami VRC6 expansion chip, which was used in the JP version of Castlevania III for the Famicom. Everything you're hearing could be done on an unaltered Famicom system. The NES lacks the pins necessary for the VRC6 chip to plug into, but a bit of modification would allow the NES to play this track as well. So technically, the answer is no, unless you mod your NES, like this: /watch?v=6zDJvgTc80k

[@MarthSR]

Thank heavens we now have the Everdrive N8 Pro to mimic the various expansion chips. Not quite like the actual chips, but good nevertheless.

[@rugilockk2708]

This is like a Hadoken of nostalgia to the face

[@crzynarutomaster]

you dont understand how happy i was when i saw that u made a new vid! you just made my day XD love the 8-bit bro. Keep it up :D

[@thatblondekid7317]

Holy Crap this is awesome way better than my Fireburg

[@shenloken2]

You know what. Sometimes the most mediocre games have some of the best music. And yes I said mediocre. FF Mystic Quest wasn't terrible...just meh. Excellent mix!!

[@partonmax9881]

Pictionary for NES

[@AJR-zg2py]

It was basically a Gameboy game on the SNES - it was a 4-megabit cartridge for God's sake on a 16-bit console LOL That said... it's music is absolutely STELLAR and kicks ass to this day! Mediocre game otherwise in all other aspects.

[@AprilLVideos]

konami should've released a vrc6 expansion that can be plugged into the nes expansion port

[@ryathatma9453]

FUCKING EPIC

[@nin10doadict]

Another new wonderful track to put in my playlist. ^_^

[@coatlesscarl]

If you're thinking in NES terms, then yes, there are too many tracks here. The NES only ever used the 5 channel 2A03 sound chip. The Famicom, however, had extra pins where expansion chips could be plugged in, like the VRC6. That's why I never title my covers "NES remixes", only "8-bit". The setup I'm using here is legitimate, just not for an NES (unless you modded it). Don't let anyone make you feel bad for not knowing about a rarely used expansion chip only available in Japan for the Famicom.

[@xephon3000]

This track = so much nostalgia

[@ArtForSwans]

Oh, I always forget about the Famicom. Thanks for the explanation.

[@Isrieri]

VRC6 makes everything better. This is some superb stuff!

[@EmerothPlays]

this game is my life :3

[@ferno68]

I hear this song First thought: Rockman Claw II Boss theme!

[@Graedius]

As much as I disliked Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, I always said this song was it's outstanding redeeming quality -- and you did an amazing job of it.

[@darksaiyan9103]

Loved this game

[@kylestubbs8867]

Spiky Situation - The Kid's boss theme.

[@Sgreeonk]

This can definitely play on a NES. Just needs the VRC6 expansion chip.

[@joltie_face]

Love this song. :D

[@Onebie]

Yeah sounds nice.

[@rubnaus]

jesus jesus JESUS JESUS THIS IS SO GOOD! But is an nes actually capable of playing this? Or are there actually too many tracks on this piece for it to play?

[@rubnaus]

wow, I never thought a (modded) nes could run something like this! If you ived in the 90's, you would have a job as composer for nintendo :D

[@AWSMBTR]

Awesome.

[@ismaelalvarez1569]

How many channels did you use?

[@hand__banana]

What do you think is happening in the video?

[@JesuszillaS]

DUANE DUANE DUANE

[@L4Vo5]

Ooh yisss

[@TheBanishedWind]

Oh hey you remade this. Cool.

[@8BitDanooct1]

nice volume balancing, as usual.

[@devilsfavorite666]

AWESOME!!!!!!! :D

[@joeschmoe2843]

GYANT FYST!!!

[@ArtForSwans]

Well that sounds like there are too many tracks to me. :P

[@Leucrerhedix]

No there isnt. only 8. But during this there wouldnt be able to be any sound effects or anything.

[@scottythegreat1]

This actually sounds better than the original. I normally like hearing originals more than covers, NOT this time.

[@gamerly.gamer69]

BAGNER

[@ArtForSwans]

There are definitely too many tracks. This is more like SNES.

[@CrimsonNightfox]

If only it had lyrics. Not that would be awesome-sauce :)

[@L4Vo5]

Ooh yisss
