*OLD MIX* Kid Icarus (NES) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Listen to the incredible Kid Icarus soundtrack by Hirokazu Tanaka in a new and improved 8BS Revamp version which has better quality, text, tracklist and visual background! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJPQh6pmmNKhbqM

[@njsanecourtney956]

Considering the limited technology back then, I think some of this 8-bit music on the original NES games are way better than some of the current gaming music. Listen to me sounding old.."Back in my day......."

[@nikonilson961]

They truly are, even if today they tries so bad to make ''better'' music like mario Kart 8 using saxo on every damn tracks when listening to the old versions you end up realising they are better because it's what they were intended to be.

[@dpring777]

They are works of genius in my opinion.

[@DOEDOPE]

This was the first game I bought EVER on my birthday..I'm 41 yrs.now..DO THE MATH.I luv this game then and still do now.Gameplay & soundtrack for this game is beautiful.CLASSIC!!!

[@MeesterTweester]

14?

[@vidtuby]

I got Kid Icarus too for my birthday. A schoolmate bought for me. I still remember him standing with the cart unopened in hands when I got off the schoolbus in the late 80's. Great gift from a great friend=) Thanks Carlos C.!

[@57yearoldjamesbond]

41 years old but spells like an 11 year old.

[@beyond16bit]

You were in your 10s, maybe 13

[@OriginalMasters]

Shit, in 15 more years you’ll be a senior citizen!

[@DougKinnison]

Listening to this in my hotel in Mykonos! I've been dreaming of this for decades.

[@stevenmabee3232]

its weird, I cant remember what some people said to me last week. but I remember the music to all these old NES games like it was yesterday :)

[@bklinedBK]

Steven Mabee I know I was probably 10 or so, the music is so catchy in these original 8 bit games I’ve been playing them when doing tedious tasks around the house some outright jam and they’ll get stuck in your head

[@cinquedark5ivekamau800]

Its nostalgia

[@billny33]

Wow, I never heard the full title screen theme before. Was tough for us kids to have the patience to listen to any title screen theme in its entirety if there was no cutscene or demo to go with it and this was one of those cases. The music outlasted the visual loop. I thought I had. It is so much grander and more compelling than I ever realized!

[@ttabood7462]

This game was one of my top three favorite NES games, next to Final Fantasy and Zelda I loved that you didn't go flying backwards when you got hit by an enemy.

[@AJF786]

I'M FINISHED!

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

BUY SOMETHING WILL YA!

[@KeoTheCupcake]

🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCodedtestament]

This title is one of my all-time favorites and offers excellent replay value,this game is virtually forgotten nowadays. Which is a shame, considering how fun and imaginative it is.

[@Decimus78]

My favorite game ever, to this day.

[@My2Cents1]

I used to play NES on a stero TV. Sounded very close to this, just a little less crisp. I see these uploads more as taking NES music to as good as it can be without making covers or remakes. Although I really respect a lot of remakes on some of these tracks, they're homages, but never substitutes. Some of them are down right futile attempts at fixing something that wasn't broken. NES music is real music in its own right - and we celebrate it as such. :D

[@BTF82]

this was one of my absolute favorite games when i was little. it was a challenge, had a superior soundtrack, solid gameplay, thank you for all the soundtracks that you post. makes the work day "fly" by.

[@johnnyneumonic7822]

Very melodic and catchy. I've always loved this soundtrack, but didn't know it was so deeply engraved on my brain/heart till coming back all these years later, like a sort of homecoming. Hello old friends. We were together and didn't even know it. :)

[@synthoelectro]

Music always gave me chills, nothing else like it.

[@myleshume5415]

My top 3 Nes Classics!!!

[@brillopad6901]

I played this game but never beat it, I need to get it out and try again all these years later. Always liked the soundtrack.

[@vidtuby]

This game is legendary!

[@stephensmith4025]

Huh?

[@vidtuby]

@@stephensmith4025 Sorry. Typo 🤣

[@shanerogers4500]

The graphics on the final level of this game so blew me away at the time. It was literally like you were playing a different game.

[@Dubz1dnb]

My father came back home after his job with this game when i was 5 years old, awesome.

[@therobotchickenMLP]

Again today I will go soaring the sky! My enemies, I'll dish em up in a stir fry! Gracious goddess of light! Watches from up above! At dinner time, I always show the cook some love!

[@mr2jzgtte]

This game was very underrated

[@tiamat_023]

My favorite 8-bit nintendo game of all time! =)

[@jacobkovacevich7077]

Played in 89. Why didn't they make mad sequels ? This is one of News best 20 Games.For real!

[@MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

Hirokazu Tanaka also wrote the music for Metroid on the NES.

[@mugflub]

6:00 gives me such anxiety. Those goddamn eggplant wizards could be anywhere...

[@JudyMaryAndYuki]

Yep, the music of the Reaper still freaks me out a bit.

[@alangflores]

Me gustan mucho tus videos Saludos desde México

[@cryingzombie]

Medusa 10:16 has the finality in it that you love about your favorite video game!

[@TheFlamingPike]

Listening to the first song with headphones makes my ears tickle.

[@misterartist1603]

Even better when played alongside the FDS version.

[@Calamaistr]

title screen was the earliest method of self inflicting headaches. :p

[@NYKgjl10]

Kid Icarus is legendary and challenging all at the same time......Sky World was the toughest level in the game.

[@marcojaimejardina7526]

It, sounds great everytime 🎮👌😇🎶

[@AceyMari]

next year is kid icarus 30th anniversary, hopefully we can get something from the kid icarus series

[@Super_Scooter_Happy]

+JCAce xD omg same!!!! yes yes yes!!

[@Chikara199]

+JCAce We're so old..

[@misformars5695]

Cool ost 😇 Kid Icarus

[@NylonStrings83]

one of the best music ever...

[@DutyFreeProductions]

Haha wow, the Overworld song does have a bit of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" in it. 3:25

[@NickolaiVolkov]

I've often thought this bit in the Icarus song was just an odd lil' ditty, however, it's clearly from The Girl I Left Behind Me. Now I'm all the more curious as to why this was put in the track! Any speculation?

[@billny33]

Wow, I knew there was some song that part sounded like, but I never knew where I had heard it from or what it was called, so I never said anything about it. I guess it's cute that's referencing an actual old timey marching song, but what I can't figure out is what were they thinking regarding the section after it? That part just sounds awful like they ran out of musical notes or something.

[@GenyaArikado]

I love Wiiguys profile picture!

[@MooseheadStudios]

heads up using this for my next video cover! thanks!

[@GiordanDiodato]

The same guy who composed Mother 1 and 2. Tanaka-san is really awesome.

[@cinquedark5ivekamau800]

While the Eggplant Wizard's castle theme was playing, I would be doing the sound of the blades, out loud.

[@RaceToNowhere]

Superb!

[@bartek8309]

Came here after watching him in the cartoon "Captain N: the game master", funny how i played this game, and Pit was immortal

[@DJeimaXe]

I'm only here for the Reaper song... :")) I had checked your entire list... You do not have an NES Strider Stereo that you've told me that you've had.

[@cryingzombie]

Boss Battle! 7:40

[@gladehuelebien1401]

One of the best games in history !! needs a good remake !!! and i mean GOOD !

[@gladehuelebien1401]

***** Needs a xbox or ps4 remake , infact i was thinking about a santa monica studio remake, this game needs to be like a god of war definetely !! its to damn good ! i remember playing it on my nes whene i was a kid , and all the way it enjoyed me

[@57yearoldjamesbond]

Yes. A Nintendo game needs a remake on other non-Nintendo consoles.

[@nikonilson961]

The 3DS has a GOOD remake with backgrounds instead of black screens and better controls to make of this original game an amazing experience!

[@beltran8787]

Wow kid ikarus had great music

[@mirtorande]

Dat smiling face on the box art

[@mmodine9925]

Ahh fortress (6:00) ... we meet again.

[@breizhredfox]

+M Modine I dislike the eggplant wizzards

[@SweatLord77]

Awesome! Both Title screen music and Underworld stage have Clash of the Titans influence kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYWTfqxuhddqmNE @ 1:45 I don't think it's coincidental that both titles also share the same ancient mythical hero theme. Alot of the NES composers were inspired by movies and classical music.

[@insidetheredzone]

This game was such a major pin in the ass to beat when I was a kid in the 80's but i finally beat Medusa's eye =) Great Game.... Kids today would never conquer this game without a memory card LOL Codes vs Memory Cards!!

[@SimonRousseau1]

Overworld music is the best !!!

[@Mindonthemoon]

Actually in the 80s it was very popular, however they never made sequels unlike pretty much every Marios, Zeldas, FFs and Dragon Quests. It was not underrated but sadly forgotten due to discontinuity.

[@codehackerzane]

Deee, Deee doooooot dooot doooot, thats how I sing it. XD

[@Super_Scooter_Happy]

+Zane Charles same xD my sister gets annoyed

[@SlappyHappy2000]

For some reason the very beginning of the Fortress Section theme sounds a lot like the Mr. Saturn theme from EarthBound...

[@megagrey]

I preferred the Game Boy sequel, actually. Loved how the final boss there went Kraid on you before going Kraid was a thing.

[@amandaoutlaw1349]

"I'm finished!"

[@kevinlee7678]

He still says that... a lot.

[@Super_Scooter_Happy]

Only one person disliked this. Shame on that person. You shall not ruin my childhood. :3

[@downforwardjab5503]

It's just someone who couldn't get past the reaper.

[@Super_Scooter_Happy]

lol xD

[@StinkomanForJustice]

this is really a great soundtrack. i think people underestimate it at times against soundtrack juggernauts like metroid and zelda, but the whole thing works for the game quite well, i think. every time it starts playing, i want to shoot an eggplant in the face.

[@akuma2892]

Magical.. needless to say.

[@cinquedark5ivekamau800]

Cutest grim reaper ever

[@Agramsch]

Is this sped up? I really only remember it being like this version here but on 0.75.

[@daveshen0880]

Perhaps you used to play the PAL version? Some PAL version games have slower music.

[@therobotchickenMLP]

I wish, but I took those lyrics directly from Kid Icarus: Uprising.

[@crazyj10agains]

My ear... They bleed... But it's still oh so good.

[@philiplonidier]

Out of curiosity, did you ever do the Famicom Disk System version of this game's soundtrack?

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

I can't do Famicom Disk System games. The way I convert, my program doesn't allow it, but I do have an idea, that won't entirely make it stereo, but next best thing.

[@ronmower]

Kid ECW!

[@smilenowsmileforever4226]

Be your own boss

[@scottvomit3]

i kicked ass at this game :)

[@richardsalazar1368]

Ear bleeding bliss

[@marcojaimejardina7526]

👼

[@bluffdetekta]

the lony game a know who u can get a credit card :D

[@princessbeffer]

Does anyone else besides my brother and I think those four long notes at 0:06 sound like Janet Jackson's song Love Will Never Do Without You?

[@mr2jzgtte]

ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS!!!

I wonder who else is from THE LAIR...

[@davidmyablonsky2294]

8uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu etc etc etc 🤪

[@monolyth421]

Hip Tanaka is da best. Coulda used more bass.

[@MystrilLunaison]

it's 1986 not 1987

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

+Baguidy Patrick For the original FDS release, yes, but this is information for the North American version, which was released in 1987.

[@WackyWholesome]

AOW2 anyone? 😂🎮

[@DJeimaXe]

.... Nvm, take care.

[@My2Cents1]

000eee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee ;)

[@supermariofan772003]

Hirokazu Tanaka > Koji Kondo

[@jbnewell1064]

I agree. Koji Kondo nes music is crap. I bet he did it on purpose. I heard he hated the nes sound chip.

[@TheST2K]

ECW Icarus. Fail.

[@mr2jzgtte]

They did they make a sequel on gameboy in 1991 do your research....but it sucked
