*OLD MIX* Ninja Gaiden (NES) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

As apart of a new 8BitStereo revamp, here is an upgraded version with improved quality, updated track names/on screen text, and visual background: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHMZ2abd76crJo

[@DisgruntledDoomer]

Why would you want to unlist this? And why did you change the name to include this tacky line: *OUTDATED, LINK TO IMPROVED VERSION IN DESCRIPTION*? I feel like this old mix is actually MORE accurate than the new one you published, because back in the NES days, the music was often heard through low-fi speakers on cheap-ish televisions. It had a muffled quality to it. (And while that is a point you can disagree with, I'd still ask you to at least leave these old mixes as they are - no need to hide them.)

[@chewydebates7403]

What did you change in the new version?

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

@@DisgruntledDoomer Personal dissatisfaction with these older uploads, and definitely would disagree on that one point as that's more so personal experience. But it's definitely a rash decision to Unlist based on not enjoying seeing how it used to be when it's going to be so much better now. Probably best to wait it out seeing the new and old be compared, guess cus I also said it on an Update Video announcing the new revamp that I had to follow through. But I see now its best to just put the info here at least that this is an older/inferior version and got a better one that can be accessed which I recommend. Thanks for the comment! :)

[@MrSilksoul]

NG1 was cutting edge in several ways. Not only was the music risky, but the way they told the story was too. This was honestly the first wide screen letter boxed footage period be it television, movie or video game, plus they told the story in a theatrical way. This game was a trend setter which many games to this day still emulate.

[@Maltebyte2]

Why am I sitting here at work trying to listen to Pandora when what I really need is some old NES soundtracks!? Ninja Gaiden gets me in the zone every time.

would you say it inspires unbreakable determination in you?

my son is like "how are you so good dad? Me: Son... I grew up with Nintendo difficulty"

[@arianabrown8992]

These tracks had great drums for an 8-bit soundfont

[@Beansman-gp3ws]

That's because they're sampled. Really nothing too special, Mario 2 and 3, Kirby, and plenty of other games were like this

[@quadpad_music]

The NES had one sound channel for raw, 1-bit DPCM sample playback, and many games used it for percusion: Super Mario Bros 3, Castlevania 1 and 3, Contra (most konami games did actually), Kirby´s Adventure, and more. Ninja Gaiden, then, wasn´t really being innovative on this matter. However, I wont deny it had had some of the most punchy and powerful snare drum samples there were on the NES.

[@PalKiba]

My favorite tracks: 0:20 Prologue - Part 2: The Letter [Vow of Revenge] 1:11 Pushing Onward [Stages 1-1, 5-2 & 6-3] 14:13 Unbreakable Determination [Stage 4-2]

[@ryandiggs750]

11:49...amazing how 8-bit composers had more genius by catchy melodies and beats than most pop crap on the radio. Thanks for this trip down memory lane.

[@tdark987]

M Modine The song at 0:21 is a pretty big counterexample though

[@chronosanaki5174]

@@tdark987 That song was meant to give the player a sense of determination after watching the main hero's father die. Not all songs are *meant* to be catchy and upbeat. I take it you haven't played the game before if you aren't able to distinguish a cutscene song from a stage song.

[@tdark987]

@@chronosanaki5174 That's not what I meant; I actually think it suits the mood of the intro cutscene very well. I meant that it hardly qualifies as "genius" because the melody is lifted straight from Deep Purple's April. :-P

[@leerv.]

@@tdark987 Close for sure, inspired by, yeah. Lifted might be a slight stretch. They're close, no doubt. I do think that one part in April definitely inspired the dungeon in the original NES Zelda!

Unbreakable Determination is

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Unbreakable Determination is love, Unbreakable Determination is life.

[@ProxyMinePro]

***** So, which is better: Unbreakable Determination (Ninja Gaiden, NES) or Solitary (Shinobi 3, Sega Genesis)?

[@zsoltfally9503]

its obvious that Castlevania Music: BLOODY TEARS COLLECTION is the best

[@ButteredToast32]

Ozymandias I definitely can't choose, both are awesome songs. Shinobi 3 is one of my favorite Sega Genesis games and has an AMAZING soundtrack, arguably one of the best on the system.

[@Zeithri]

Ozymandias Unbreakable Determination has a lot more speed and action going for it. So I personally favor it over Shinobi "Solitary". That being said, Shinobi's soundtrack has songs that top Ninja Gaiden. They stand back to back the three games I think - The Shinobi and the Ninja Gaiden.

[@warriorlink8612]

14:13 Unbreakable Determination [Stage 4-2] Just wow....

[@DarKKnightt07]

One of the best NES soundtracks ever, really underrated.

[@warmecanic]

"The fight of your life" Goddam right, the fucking box doesn´t lie to you

[@lucianoantonio6551]

[@digimikeh]

11:49 Cutscene: Devilish Influence / Stage 6-4 the best for me...

[@thejoeycage]

I remember getting to that boss stage, hearing the music and being like oh FAK

[@RikimaruLimbo]

me too man... but so short

[@beejbarge]

Absolutely! Especially when you listen to it having to fight your father.

[@diegoadrian1927]

Es un genio el que hizo la composicion de los temas !

[@bunnybismuth]

0:20 With whom did father have a duel and lose? For what reason did he fight and die? Even I don't know for sure. The day after he disappeared, in father's room I found a letter addressed to me. It said, "Ryu, I am on my way to a life or death duel. If it is destiny that I not return, you are to take the Dragon sword of the Hayabusa family and go to America and see the archaeologist, Walter Smith. Ryu, be always brave..." I will get my revenge!

[@HPLovethrash]

4:50, pretty sure obscure thrash band Viking borrowed from this song on their track "White Death". About 40 seconds in if you feel like searching for that. Same goes for the intro to Overkill's "I Hate" and the Mega Man I stage select music.

[@budkin]

Beating this game as a kid is the proudest achievement I've ever had as a gamer, but man I forgot how amazing the soundtrack is!

[@codytsmith5678]

Bro Thanks for bringing back such awesome childhood memories. Man those was the days sitting in front of that Anolog Big Booty Television listening to this sound track in Awww and disbelief. I was blown away from the start of the 1st stage. You know Nintendo was notorious for them soundtracks tho.

[@timgrove5757]

Proud 80s baby I'll never forget the first time watching my older brother play this it's been 30 years and I still can't beat this damn game but I've always loved the soundtrack especially the Prologue and when Ryu's father is defeated

just the restrictions of how many channels you had to work with now video game music sounds like a movie score lol

[@the16bitsdigitalboy]

Completamente de acuerdo contigo, tienes toda la razón... lo digo en serio. :)

[@PaladinLarec]

I remember being over my grandparent's house and my grandfather came in during a cinema scene, and he said "Are you watching a movie?". At the time, this game was very state of the art and the first to really bridge that gulf between a game and a big budget story/film/novel. I was so addicted to it and kept plugging away until I beat it, since the story was so riveting.

[@badATchaos]

I play this game just to listen to the music. Fricken incredible.

[@33tshort]

yep I would get to 4-2 and then play all of the way up to the free life, kill myself and start over for like 10 or 15 mins lol

[@munkeemojo]

Did you know there is a secret sound test on the title screen?

[@davidpepin3017]

I remember my first time seeing the intro, the 2 ninjas facing off... it was so cool! Probably my favorite game of all time and the soundtrack... ha! So good! It was my only NES game and I've played and played, so much so that at some point I could beat it without losing a life.

[@Calbenmike]

"Seeking Truth" is my all time favorite track f/ this game. I never get sick of it.

This has to be one of the hardest games i have ever beat. Such a ball buster. But even so, the music in this game was just too good to stop playing. They even reward you with the level 4-2 theme ( 14:14) at the end credits. Thank you very much for uploading this amazing soundtrack :D

The the track I came here for. My favorite as a kid

[@TravelersOfMusicalDreams]

I'm here after listening to the new version, the change is noticeable ... I will always appreciate both versions, it is nice to continue having you after a long time, I would like to hear some ost that you have not yet uploaded in your new version and also in the ancient, for those who are from yesteryear;)

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

I definitely would love people to check out the new versions more, and compare as they like, but was on the decision to Unlist all the old videos here but I don't think that would be far to all who enjoy the older version of 8BS and to my legacy. Granted no one showed opposition on the major update video about it which was apart of the main other decision that was going to happen along with the Revamp. But it is best I leave these as is and at least make aware on each old version that a new a preferred version from me is available. I am definitely more happy with the revamp versions but I shall keep these old ones to look back! :) And most certainly I would love to get a lot of the older stuff redone first then get to soundtracks that never got the first or second iteration of 8BS! :D

[@TravelersOfMusicalDreams]

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

The Best of the Best!!! There is no doubt. The music of this game is the best soundtrack the NES has ever had! Each melody is an eargasm! My top 5 melodies are: 1-Evading the Enemy 2-Depth of Wickedness 3-Unbreakable Determination 4-Pushing Onward 5-Nowhere to Run but all of the rest are so excellent too. I remember myself many years ago, every time I did arrive home, watching so excited the duel on the intro while listening that awesome music, and then playing back again and again the sound test tracks whether played the game or not. And one day, about 10 years ago, after playing it all the day and after so many tries repeating the last stage, about 2 A.M. of the next day, I'm so proud I finally beated the game. It has been one of the best moments the NES has given me!!! (and I recorded it in a VCR). About this video, I think that Swift Ninja, Seeking Truth (especially this) and Aftermath sound very good (even better than in the NES) with that extra reverb. Thanks Tecmo for this wonderful soundtrack and videogame! Thanks Wiiguy for bringing us all of these awesome reverb videos!

Darknyte00 Es que los juegos de la serie aunque difíciles estaban muy bien hechos para la época en todos los aspectos, te animabas a jugarlos y a no tirar la toalla justamente por lo entretenida que era la jugabilidad, la música y la historia.

[@theguru210]

With a limited set of sounds and instruments at their disposal, composers had to think about the melody, rather than complex polyrhythms (overlapping rhythms). Many of these sounds are a good melody, and then there are accompanying channels on top. That's why many 8 bit songs are memorable, and many sound really good, even when orchestrated, or played with an non-digital instrument, because the melody is strong, and then there are good accompanying beats on top. Sorry for the long post.

[@AuspexAO]

I first played this at a friend's house. Needless to say, strange phrases like "Bloody Malth" and "The Jaquio" started creeping into our whispered conversations at school. Games like this turned lazy punks like me into determined masters. It was Nintendo, man. It was like a freaking lifestyle.

Frankly, the game itself saves fairly frequently in that it returns you to a specific check point upon a game over. The only thing it doesn't allow you to do is save between Jacquio's forms. My first time through, I saved between forms in order to practice and increase my skill. The second time through, I beat all forms using one life. I suggest you do this as well, if you wish to emulate not only the game but its difficulty as well. Have fun! :)

Very accurate, my friend. I still suck horribly at this game to this day.

[@elv1sology]

Thanks so much for this I've been looking for this in this quality like crazy!!

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

You're welcome! I even have a more less "reverby" quality coming sometime soon, I have crafted 8BitStereo the best I can for these soundtracks! :D

Can I get an MP3 of just Unbreakable Determination?

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

There is a download link in the description of all the songs in separate MP3 files, enjoy! :)

[@marcievania]

***** Thank you!

[@davidarbogast37]

Are the songs separate in the download file?

[@senorsnipey1595]

Wouldnt be hard to make happen if you seriously want that! Im a huge fan of the ost so im taking a few of the songs I like and turning em into songs if you would like me to email it.

7:06 is my favorite but it loops.

[@InfiniteBrainRotter]

This game was so damn impossible, I swear I have never swore so many times at a game in my life. Glad I beat it within a week and a half, such a great game. So great, it gives you an adrenaline rush!

[@TrainmasterCurt]

Music at 4:50 sounds like it belongs in The Exorcist or Friday the 13th!

Talk about a blast from the past. Yep, Unbreakable Determination and the intro song are the two imprinted into my brain. This is one of the few NES games I never beat. Frustratingly hard. My best friend in 4th grade and I used to talk bout this game every day and both came to a consensus on how much we hated it because neither of us could beat it.
