NEStalgia X (NES Medley #10) - GaMetal

[@TheHarDeOne]

I appreciate the fact the death at the end of the Zone J footage went straight into the Darkwing Duck credits roll. As if dying in Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers is how you beat Darkwing Duck. The secret Disney Afternoon Collection tech.

[@azenar1894]

I'm thankful for Johnny Atma this Thanksgiving 🙏🏾

[@JonnyAtma]

And i'm thankful for you all!

We all are! :D

[@matthewbankey5547]

Same here, best video game cover artist on KZbin!

[@theactionwhale]

Oh my goodness! That's Forgotten land meta knight and that can only mean one thing.... THE SWORD OF THE SURVIVING GUARDIAN!!! I've been waiting since Forgotten lands release for this!

[@Rubberman202]

6:55 - I'm glad that Stampylongnoah submitted Wario's Woods, it's good to know that Wario got SOME kind of GaMetal remix this year, even if he doesn't end up getting a full cover. ...Having said that, this year is still Wario's 30th anniversary and I'm still requesting Glittertown from Wario Land: Shake It!/Greenhorn Ruins from Wario World, Introducing Wario Deluxe from WarioWare Gold, Wario Shipyard from Mario Kart 7, or Hurry Up! from Wario Land 4!

[@stampylongnoah]

Aww, I'm touched!

[@hedonistredd4592]

Watching Snake play ring around the building with a single guard with badass music in the background made me laugh far more than it should have

[@BJGvideos]

Wow, never before has a character select screen been so electrifying. I've never heard of Kira Kira Star Night DX but that track was awesome.

[@silverdamascus2023]

It's one of those unlicensed NES games made years after the NES was discontinued, games like this are often called homebrews.

[@BJGvideos]

@@silverdamascus2023 Oh neat

[@InamorastraStardustLucille]

@@BJGvideos went to check out the soundtrack because of it - it's not just that track, definitely go check it out! Although, 9-1 and 9-2 are definitely big highlights.

[@AmyTheBrawler]

Imagine my surprise when I heard Gradius II's Overheat, followed by freakin' Darkwing Duck's Ending music. My jaw was on the floor.

[@Patronjude]

Ngl, after 10 years, there's a part of my brain that asks "Are there still any bangers left on the NES?". Yes.

[@GmNdWtchr96]

Glad Wario's Woods got representation. Hope you do the Vs. Mode track for that game in the future.

[@Rubberman202]

Agreed!

[@reggiegiygas6066]

So nice to see some Wario’s Woods appreciation! I found this game thanks to NES Remix 2 and once I figured out how it works, I fell in love with it, even though I am not a big fan of Tetris/Puyo Puyo like games. WW is so unique, and the soundtrack makes it even more special to me! I also had a blast playing Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon, this game seemed heavily inspired by Wario’s Woods.

[@stampylongnoah]

You're Welcome! 😉

[@SiberianNinja-Jin]

Hearing Wario's Woods put a smile on my face even more. It took me back, dude. ^^

[@Rubberman202]

More love for Wario's Woods (and Wario in general)!

[@chucklesmcgee5693]

PLANT MAN! Such an underrated track! EDIT: YAMATO MAN TOO WTF

[@canman87]

The whole Mega Man 6 soundtrack is among the best on the NES, right up there with Mega Man 2 and 3 as far as I'm concerned.

[@chucklesmcgee5693]

@@canman87 Agreed!

[@HeroicJei]

I was mad surprised at the MM6 tracks as well. It’s my favorite of the nes ones for the ost.

[@SFWhomper]

Mega Man Medley 3 WHEN?!

[@dinotech3416]

Dude I grew up with mega man 6 . Only later to find people said it was bad. I love it’s music so much, you can tell they learned from previous games up to that point.

[@Zaveghunter]

probably my favorite NEStalgia so far. You absolutely killed it!!! Requesting Hurry Up! from Wario Land 4 and Extermination (area 26A) from Eschatos

[@Groxley]

I never thought I'd be hearing a cover of music from the nes version of Gyruss in the year of our lord 2022 but here i am and I'm glad

[@Zeiru]

I absolutely love your Retro Medley covers. THANK YOU!

[@JonnyAtma]

Thank you Chris! 😃

[@DeviDoesNothing]

yeah this is a super fun medley all around, glad to be here for the premiere. also people are gonna go NUTS for the next song I'm calling it rn

[@Parapsyche]

SWORD OF THE SURVIVING GUARDIAN OH SHIT This was an epic milestone medley from start to finish, don't get me wrong, way to close out with Darkwing Duck especially, but. That's a big reveal following it. And now that Sonic Frontiers is out with its own BANGER soundtrack, I guess I'll pitch in a few requests - Undefeatable, Break Through It All, Find Your Flame, and I'm Here are all right there! Haven't forgotten about my older requests either! Palkia's Onslaught, Defy the Legends, Second Battle with Dark Matter (Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon), Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf, The Dark Lord's Wrath (Miitopia), and any boss theme from Sonic Colors, any one of them would be amazing to hear you cover! I'll wait on the Kirby batch since we're getting one right up next, heh.

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Ahh, Star tropics love.

[@zelos1826]

Hearing Yoshi BGM 3 made me smile. :D Also the Amazon theme from Duck Tales getting some love too, hell yeah.

[@HunterPBrown]

Happy Thanksgiving Jonny.

[@JonnyAtma]

Thank you Hunter, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@Christian-wr4ge]

That spinning Solid Snake made me laugh way more than it should have.

[@krisgeno8049]

He even included Kira Kira Star Night DX on this, i didn't expect this one lol

[@Harmless_Music]

Was thinking to myself before watching, “It would be sick if he had Star Tropics somewhere in this medley”, and sure enough! This was beautiful, you’ve outdone yourself again Jonny

[@GWYT2003]

I NEED that Kid Icarus title theme as a full version please!

[@JumpAttack25]

I just subscribed today because of your Megaman covers. And i gotta say, you Rock man! (Pun intended) Also, happy Thanksgiving Johnny! 🤘

[@Cool-Vest]

STARTROPICS II YESSSSS HE DID IT FINALLY!!!! (hopefully dungeon theme next time)

[@alexemp6201]

Jonny wasn't waiting for thanksgiving, hw was just waiting for his beard to grow back Thanks man, always love your work

[@heathernicol3026]

Sir. SIR. You SNUCK IN the song DETECTED. That is wildly hilarious, deeply admirable, and incredibly epically performed. I am very pleased. xD Also yaaaay two Mega Man songs, AND the Kid Icarus title theme! ^_^

[@Vyz3r]

Damn, the amount of work to complete this is incredible. Great work, man, you'll always be one of the best music artist in KZbin.

[@arrowb1381]

Great medley, congrats on the 10th NES medley, and Happy Thanksgiving, Jonny! Btw, that end card... that's obviously Meta Knight, but in particular, it's his FORGOTTEN LAND render! We're in for an awesome song next!

[@normalguycap]

I was listening to this while working on stuff and I grooved the most with megaman tunes. Didn't even recognize them until I looked. I've always been a lifelong megaman fan so that's comfortingly fitting.

[@The_Pear]

Epic! One of my favorite yet, kid Icarus, megaman 6 are epic as well as metal gear but some rare songs that are awesome journey to silius stage 4 and chip n dale zone j Wow never heard of hi no tori houhou (shocker) but that theme is epic And you absolutely killed it on surf designs and Kira Kira (bowser too)

[@Switch_Lens]

As a humble listener I humbly request a Neo Bowser City remix, O Gametal the Great. And I think Bowser needs to go easy on the coffee.

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

Gyruss, T&C, and Chip N Dales might make this my favorite medley! Those are some of the best video game tunes as all time.

[@aeonicbutterfly9662]

That was great! Thank you for another great medley, and happy Thanksgiving to you too :)

[@ElTaitronAnim]

1:33 STILL THE KING, STILL THE KING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

[@8BitAlchemy]

Oh heck yeah this is such an amazing medley man, expertly crafted and executed! I never thought I'd see a retro NES medley of this magnitude popping out in 2022, I thought everyone had gotten these out of their system but MAN am I thankful for Atma this Thanksgiving!

[@ThePurpleCheeseMan]

Great work! ...Yooo, is that Meta Knight!? I hope that means Sword of the Surviving Guardian from Forgotten Land!

[@cdgamer869]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for covering Overheat-- I remember seeing your applications open for requests early in the year and thinking to myself "it's a bit of a long shot." I'm so glad to see you gave it a shot, it sounds amazing! Lots of great songs in this mix, actually! Detected and Plant Man's theme were great-- Zoda's Revenge and Wario's Woods were unexpected but a very welcome surprise!

[@Flegan777]

Absolutely superb medley here. Excellent selection all around; Mega Man and the Disney platformers deserve all the praise they get. Loved that Zone J got selected, as it's still one of the best final stage themes in NES history. Also, Gradius. We always need more Gradius. Looking forward to our favorite dark knight of Dreamland next. Happy Thanksgiving to you, good sir.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Your songs never fail to make my day, GaMetal. My mood immediately gets significantly better when I even just see a notification for a new video from you, that's how much I'm excited for new uploads from you. There are very few artists who do that, but you're one of them.

[@TonyTheTGR]

Kickass collection! I love how MM6 is getting some love, surprised to not hear the Stage Select screen, the absolute pinnacle of MM Stage Select themes!

[@InamorastraStardustLucille]

first of all, fantastic work as usual! second of all thank you so much for including kira kira night star dx, oh my lord! I went and listened to the source material and I'm in complete awe, especially with 9-1 and 9-2. If anyone else here is reading this and hasn't listened to it yet, do yourself a favor and get to it!

[@GamesProject]

An awesome medley for sure with a little thing I noticed : The medley start with an opening theme and finish with an ending theme, with no other intro/outro theme played in between, like a game with a start and an end. Nice little touch if this was on purpose!

[@TheInquisitiveMug]

Bowser is going ham on those keys. Great medley!

[@matthewbankey5547]

The more NES Medleys we get, the more I wonder if there are still any iconic or awesome NES tunes to bring into these, and I’m always glad to see that’s still the case! Also, I’d like to see another SNES medley one day.

[@sinisterrain2079]

Didn't know I wanted and needed a plant man metal cover. Thanks!

[@kaisersdomain5520]

Thanks for 10 years on this platform man, and 13 years of this project. Keep on shredding Shredder! If you’re up for a challenge, try playing Guitar Hero 3’s version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia

[@mremaknuify]

god damn I was NOT expecting gyruss to appear, what a rage-filled nostalgia bomb

[@moonfusion9964]

Awesome medley! I'd like to request Size Up Your Enemy from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team as a future cover.

[@DeviDoesNothing]

Ooh, that'd be interesting. I'm personally in team Never Let Up! tho

[@moonfusion9964]

@@DeviDoesNothing That'd be cool too!

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

This one's big, making it to the double digits! And it did not disappoint, every single one of these songs is absolutely *phenomenal!* Not to mention the transitions, you somehow made every one _seamless!_ Your songs always make my day. And this one is even better than usual!

[@Gwunhar]

Mega Man 6 in general doesn't get enough love so I'm happy to see two of those tracks in here.

[@mskirby6442]

Once again a jam, and I'd hate to take away from it... ...but the end sequence has got me hyped

[@thygod]

Gyruss had me hyped AF. I mean, the whole thing did.

[@TheSilver_Kitsune]

Man, it being one of my favourite games ever, hearing Wario's Woods music here was just awesome.

[@babyvee7615]

im thankful that you're still around, making good remixes of beloved video game music

[@babyvee7615]

though i was wondering, since you did a remix of Golden Sun's Doom Dragon theme a long time ago, if maybe you would consider doing a remix of the Fusion Dragon theme? (it also plays during the Dullahan fight in the game where you fight the Doom Dragon)

[@Franckatana]

Great Medley. Hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving.

[@ovarinisy9898]

You never fail to disappoint my good sir. Awesome renditions as usual

[@shadowman7408]

Nice! also there were games like T&C Surf Designs, Pinball Quest and The Blue Marlin I thought only I had ever played lol love that tune glad it was included!

[@TheCreepypro]

as a kid who grew up with the nes this was great to hear

[@mr.mystere4999]

Fantastic! I never knew NES tracks could sound so amazing! I've had this thought on my mind for a while now. I've been wondering what some of the music from HW: Age of Calamity would sound like if GaMetal got a hold to it, and so I would like to request: "Rescue Operation" from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity There are two versions of the song but they are one and the same. The calmer version plays when you're out and about fighting normal mooks, and it transitions over to a more intense version when you're fighting higher-ranking foes such as Guardians.

[@TheXerxar]

Fantastic. Almost all NES music is made for the guitar. Thanks for making it.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

...dude that DETECTED cover was SOO GOOD

[@Golbez1991]

Oh my Lord. Gyruss AND Gradius II?! You're my hero!

[@toxagen1144]

I really want a full version of the Stage Theme 1 (Hi no Tori). Never heard of it before this video, but now I love that theme and I really like what you did with it and want to see a full version of it.

[@elayaSP]

Man, i've been following you for years, and with every video i still get amazed by how much talent you put in all instruments. Thanks for showing some love to Plant Man song!

[@valois6846]

8:35 Metal Gear?! Now I'm starting to hope MGS songs for 2023

[@snuq]

The whole thing is amazing as always, but I LOVE the mega man 6 tracks in here, such a fantastic soundtrack, and great renditions!

[@DiegoRiser]

Happy Thanksgiving, Jonny & GaMetal 🍂🦃!!

[@chrusader5134]

Goes straight to my favorites, like usually 🤘

[@NoahLoydOG]

Happy Thanksgiving to the Atma family, fans, and friends! Watching the best get better every year has been such a joy, and I can't wait for more. There's got to be a better way to request a song that almost nobody knows, but is absolutely worth getting a GaMetal remaster, than a KZbin comment, but the very obscure Army Men: Air Combat from the Game Boy Color had one of the best main menu themes of any game, ever. I dream of one day hearing it here; and hey, not once, but twice now, Journey to Silius has made an appearance, so I have hope.

[@richardjoyce2764]

You got 11 minutes to explain my childhood! GaMetal:

[@nathan3538]

Johnny i don't know if you remember me but man im proud of what you did this gaming music is sooooo fucking good it always was and appreciate you telling molten sphinx I was decent lol

[@xtortionist1825]

You're the best when it comes to Mega Man covers man and these are no exception. I think your covers of Detected and Overheat are really in the ball park too, I'd love to see more Metal Gear tracks from you in the future! I think your best song is definitely Overheat, it sounds so good in your style.

[@imptwins]

Your medleys are always such a great time, a real show of just how many genres you've got under your belt which is one of your biggest strengths imo. It's not much of a thing here in Australia, but hey, happy thanksgiving.

[@MisteRRYouTuby]

Town and Country Surf just hits right!

[@thelonelycracker8768]

lot of bangers i wasn't aware of in this one. always love to be introduced to new music through these also HOLY FUCK THE SONG I REQUESTED IS NEXT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Gametal is that one musician where someone asks" how awesome do you want your remix?" And the answer is yes. Like remember Brainiac maniac, life will change, and nightmare king grimm's theme?

Amazing as always. Would be cool to see a Sega Saturn medley someday ^^

[@silverdamascus2023]

It would be pretty cool, but there's no way around this, even the people who like it, should admit the Sega Saturn failed.

[@VGMEngiStyle]

Startropics 2 and Mega Man 6, these some very late NES-era games (not to mention Famicom here). What a fun mix of old and older gone metal.

[@WaffleyDootDoot]

META KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[@MesieurOjete]

As powerful as always, awesome

[@werc85music]

Perfection! 😌👌

[@silverdamascus2023]

Hope that in 2023, we get a Famicom Medley, only Japan-only games. While there are games like Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, The Mysterious Murasame Castle and Kid Dracula, that did get released outside Japan years later, it should have only games that were released on Famicom, but never on an official NES cart.

[@GmNdWtchr96]

Joy Mech Fight and Fire Emblems 1 and 2, as well.

[@silverdamascus2023]

Also, it helps that some people are thinking that 10 NES Medleys is enough, it's time to replace them with SNES Medleys. Giving the NES Medleys some new twists would be great, like choosing only Japan-only games.

[@BIayne]

Holy smokes! This is a comment! Great video!

[@Sylvauraa]

Next time….AW, YEAH!!! Meta-Knight, LETS GO!!!

[@RedStoneMatt]

Yesssssssss was waiting for it!

[@MrJobocan]

Gotta say Kira Kira Star Night DX is a pretty unique choice for this, considering it's a lesser known newer Famicom game (from 2016).

[@KurisuBlaze]

Yep, going up from rom hacks (Layla: Iris Missions in NEStalgia IX) to full homebrew NES games. (Then again, didn't he also do Battle Kid somewhere?)

[@АлександрПряхин-к6э]

That awesome!👍 P.s. Now i'll be wait NES Kick Master Medley! I think you can do this great music better!

[@bencarrington3743]

I'm excited for (what I assume is) Sword of the Surviving Guardian! I'd be hyped for a "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" cover. Also ... not sure if this is too soon or not, but have you considered doing Scarlet/Violet covers? Gonna try not to spoil too much, but I'd be excited to see covers for Team Star's Founder's battle theme and the battle theme for the true final boss.
