Mega Man 2 (NES) Music - Bubble Man Stage

[@franciscobutte]

42 yo here and this OST makes me tear up. Is so magical how developers make this work of art with all the limitations. Is not nostalgia, games were such a wonder back then

[@bananashoez7873]

I’m 42 also, and remember waking up Saturday mornings to play this. Usually the second or third level I would choose since Metal Man’s weapon killed him super fast

[@Monstylicious]

This tune is so damn good. Nostalgia injection right in the tits.

[@zeusapollo6504]

45 y and definately not nostalgica i replayed the anniversaries compilation of Castlevania and Megaman and i prepfered every single 8 bit NES game over anything else - they even aged better than the rest. Its odd that 8 bit consoles aged so well, because i do not feel the same for pc/amiga/C64 games made in the 80ies, those were far inferior in graphics, gameplay, controls and sound compared to the early consoles. Heck even the ports were better at the NES.(Defender of the Crown and Might and Magic 1) Some of the console ports even added a good UI, actual music and much better graphics. Just shows how bad computers were supported for games compared to consoles during the mid and late 80ies. They kinda catched up with consoles a bit by the mid 90ies. Also those old NES games were a lot of fun and - most of the time -only took a small amount of your time, typcially around 30 mins were needed to complete a game like MM or CV.

Best track in the game. So beautiful and emotional yet always cast aside to be left forgotten by many for unfair reasons. Still severely disappointed that it didn't receive the treatment it needed in Ultimate to completely represent this game. I mean come on, you literally need Bubble Man to defeat the final boss. Isn't that important enough?

[@ianward8107]

Agree

[@jomaq9233]

Maybe Bubble Man was just the least popular Robot Master in the game (because, you know, bubbles) It is a shame, because this literally is my favourite track in the entire game, and yet it never made in Smash (not even in the Mega Man 2 Retro Medley)

Es increíble como a pesar de los recursos en aquel entonces, no se ponían ningún límite para hacer melodias tan hermosas en 8bits cuando probablemente las componían originalmente con instrumentos

Los 8 bits son mágicos. Los compositores de ese tiempo eran realmente genios para poder crear música tan memorable con solo 3 canales de sonido y 2 de ruido, con un chipset tan limitado en cuanto a la sintetización.

[@Dante-Dev-FullStack]

Quando eu recuperar meus poderes farei seu pedido ser real.

[@Crooky0]

This song was made in 1988 back when video games had the most ridiculous limitations on what you could do musicwise, and somehow this is cooler than pretty much all popular 80s music and even a significant chunk of popular 90s music. There may have been better songs in later game soundtracks, largely due to both expansions in NES music capabilities and then of course later video game systems having much wider capabilities, but this I would argue is the best song in a game soundtrack from '88 or earlier, and maybe the best song in a game soundtrack for its time ever. This is 34 years old and has stood the test of time extremely well.
