I like how, even though the Mega Drive was literally 10 times bigger here in North America, Japan still got the better exclusives.

[@digimaks]

Megadrive was huge in RUssia. Not sure about rest of Europe tho. Megadrive VS Snes comparisons/battles were always heated )))

[@theambivalentps2bloke60]

But this was released in as Trouble Shooter in the US

[@aIanzin]

@@theambivalentps2bloke60 only the first game. This is the sequel of trouble shooter

[@gormless-idiot]

This game series needs to be an anime

[@PrekiFromPoland]

Well... it's heavily inspired by Dirty Pair, with the only difference that Battle Mania has a contemporary setting and Dirty Pair is set in space. Other than that both are action comedies featuring two action girls blowing stuff up.

[@Trepidity]

@@PrekiFromPoland thanks for that I'll have to check it out!

[@VisiV]

Yes, I always thought of this as a Dirty Pair game as well.❤️

[@SonicTheDutchHedgehog]

Here's a little known fact: there was an anime styled commercial for the game that is sadly currently lost media (There's more info and even screenshots of it in an 2004 developer interview)

[@Gold_Bug]

Lots of people say otherwise but I think the Mega drive sounded great.

[@Isoquant]

When it was good, it was really good.

[@alexpeycheff7411]

Holy shit, never even heard of this game before, but this soundtrack and that cover makes it feel like it's one of the best games I've ever played. Pure 90's Japanese gold.

[@AqueleCara]

lol same here, I've never heard of this game till like 2 minutes ago. KZbin recommended this video and I was immediatly hooked by the cover art. Absolutely need to check this game out now!

[@sitialimah8236]

Try to play it from mega drive emulator, it's really fun & nice game, I already play this game in 1997 and it's really love at the first sight from the moment I played it. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Old_Man_Jay]

I discovered this game only a few years ago but it immediately became one of my favorites. the sound track is absolutely amazing!

[@theinternetexplorer7873]

This game is criminally underrated!

[@thefreshwaterpirate]

oh yeah? Try ebay then :)

[@RigbyIsTheMan]

@@thefreshwaterpirate barely any listings for it

[@thefreshwaterpirate]

@@RigbyIsTheMan its not underrated now, thats why there are so few listed

[@dirtfriend]

@@thefreshwaterpirate "Battle Mania Daiginjō had a limited print run of this title and it is very difficult to find in complete condition with box and instructions; consequently, it is one of the most expensive Sega Mega Drive games today" it's still underrated, just rare as fuck

[@decapattack]

It's not. Every fan shooter, specially old Megadrive owners, discovered this by emulation and it is frequently cited as one of th best shooter on the system.

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

It's hard to pick a favourite from this soundtrack its truly one of the most rockin OSTs on this system. 01:19 Burning Heart. Awesome guitar harmonies 20:36 Dancing Hunter. So happy 23:41 Private Eye. Great Melody 26:20 Iron Casanova. Even better melody 28:20 Hachimaki Please. Incredible bass & guitar riff

[@OldSchoolBobby]

+TheLegendofRenegade 29:42 is my instant fave, but I may be biased because the (kind of final) stage in which it plays is extremely awesome. - In any case, thanks Dustin for finally (I sorta remember this being a long long request of mine among others, I could be mistaken though) helping us to listen to this with a proper rip. The difference with emulated sound is massive on this one, even for a poor ear such as mine.

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

+OldSchoolBobby I don't think there is a single bad track in this game. Sadly I haven't actually ever got round to playing it, so I dont have that kind of nostalgic connection.

[@moopbread5582]

+TheLegendofRenegade I downloaded the rom for it the second I heard this soundtrack. The game is super fun.

[@SrChoppers]

My favorite is definitely Brawing Up. Love that music and it's respective stage.

[@alexhollandsworth241]

My favorite is Shrine at 16:25, I really like how the melody sounds with the bass and guitars in the background

[@dirtfriend]

this game gives me huge nostalgia vibes despite not having it played it until earlier this year. perfect condensation of what made anime so cool in the 90s. godspeed you, battle mania

[@dirtfriend]

also this game has my favourite sound test of all time, on account of all the little maria's in the bottom corner doing a dance

[@MCHellshit]

That boxart and this music is really making me miss the 80s-90s

[@sjake8308]

If this had ever been released in the US, you can guarantee that the box art would have been mutilated.

[@Devyatto9]

29:42 I was not prepared. Holy fuck man.

[@THESHMUPMASTER]

This soundtrack is freaking amazing.

[@alanbareiro6806]

Listening with headphones at full volume. The bass bro!

[@gormless-idiot]

You're gonna break your ears doing that

[@queercommunist]

@@gormless-idiot True, this music is very harsh for the ears with plenty of high-pitched sounds. Anyway Alan is already deaf because he posted 3 years ago lol

[@southendbusker7534]

i want in on that

[@rockymitsu]

It's easy to hold on, if it leaves you with a lasting buzz but it is not Harmful, so it is recommended to stop it by lowering the volume little by little

[@alexhollandsworth241]

This soundtrack blows the first Battle Mania/Trouble Shooter soundtrack out of the water, up high into the stratosphere. Don't get me wrong, I like the music in the first game, but this one is 85 times better.

[@timothykirby4406]

I absolutely love this game's music

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

One of the greatest

[@cpthurme]

Speechless, never heard of this one before

[@FinalBaton]

Same, just discovered it. Hoooooly...

[@moopbread5582]

I just played this game today, and I have to say, it's freaking awesome!

[@stripedhyenuh]

Blue Sky Laundry doesn't get enough love, it has some of the best FM synth guitar "work" in the soundtrack and is just so damn catchy.

[@crunchsixfoe]

35:29 wooow so good

[@marioman574]

This has to be one of the best Genesis OST'S I've ever heard. It lowkey sounds beyond the YM2612's limits

[@moopbread5582]

This soundtrack is kinda hard to explain. It feels like a blend of Dynamite Headdy and Thunderforce IV, for lack of a better comparison. Either way it's fantastic!

[@GaliMercury]

Holy crap, you're right.

[@yohkom.7988]

Spot on! Dynamite Headdy or, McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure, mixed with Thunder Force IV xD badass :D

[@rockmanhunter]

To me both Battlemania soundtracks are directly tied to Decap Attack, Socket and other Vic Tokai titles. Vic games have a very unique signature sound to them.

[@FinalBaton]

I'll give my take using non-videogame music genres : it's a blend of heavy metal and power-pop! straight up!

[@Nathan-rb3qp]

@@rockmanhunter Decap Attack & Trouble Shooter even share the exact same level completion theme.

[@DeadHonky]

I played this game for the first time last night. I can confirm it's just as much a banger as this soundtrack. Such a gem of a game.

[@sitialimah8236]

Aaahh, the good old days when I still in 4th grade elementary, bought the game just because curiosity and it's really love at the first sight, always play this game until my Sega mega drive broken in 2001

I've been listening to VGMs specially Genesis for more than 15 years and I did not know about this game up until now! I've never heard such a perfectly YM2612-sque, soundtrack as this one... This is up there with Decap Attack when it comes to knowing what genesis sound chip was all about. Thanks Dustin! If it wasn't for you I'd probably *NEVER* heard about this game since I'm in south America, so far away from Japan.

35:29 which is sun rise purple makes me sad how the third game never saw its light and bm2 never got its sequel. The ending and bgm perfectly describes the scenario.

[@TICSTUDIOSLLC]

This soundtrack is a certified banger

[@Crash84]

First time listening to this soundtrack, but I can hear it clearly shares a composer with Socket/Time Dominator.

[@pmd9801]

Yeah, they worked for Graphic Research and composed a lot games together. Socket, Derby Jockey for the SFC, etc... Although Shigenori Masuko and Fumito Tamayama left GRC around 1995 or so, they met again to compose te soundtrack to the 1996 arcade game called Hotdog Storm (a weird game title, I know) with Yoko Suzuki too.

I Played this whole game. One of my favorite Shmups right here. I had so much fun and Thoroughly enjoyed the BGM. My Most favorite track is: 21:36

[@digimaks]

Never played this game. Was simply browsing for music from games I am not familiar. Well, I can tell Japanese games had far more complex music compositions, with more intricate effects. Variety in the sound, modulations, chords. It uses EVERYTHING on Sega's sound hardware. It uses from 4 to all 6 FM's YM2612, uses PSG Master System to its full, and PCM for all sort of beat samples. Absolutely impressive stuff! I am learning from it to make my own 16-bit compositions. Very inspiring. P.S. "My Kingdom" is creepy as hell.

[@olifromsolly2444]

23:41 banger

Awesome

[@sozaj]

This game cover is awesome! It just exudes so much personality! You get an idea of what kind of characters the two heroines are based on their stances and facial expressions. The American cover is so dull and uninteresting by comparison with its two generic scantily clad beach models that have no distinctive characteristics. Did the localizers of this game seriously look at the new cover and think to themselves "Yep. Ours is much better"? I feel the same way about the covers of Landstalker and El Viento. Now I'm not saying that American Covers are always bad (I actually like the American cover for Contra Hardcore better than its Japanese counterpart), but if you are going to make a different cover for a game at least make it actually resemble what the game is like and try to actually make it better. Have the artist actually play the game and use the original cover and character concepts as reference material.

[@rockmanhunter]

I think back in the day anime and japanese style was not popular with american audiences, who were more familiar with Marvel and DC thing. Other than that, I can't understand why to replace awesome covers with (mostly) grotesque art. At least we got the Bad Box Art Mega Man.

This soundtrack kicks all sorts of ass. I haven't heard the first Battle Mania soundtrack, but I'll assume that it's amazing as well. On a sidenote, I'm wondering why you still use the Model 2 + MegaAmp, as you've said you prefer the Model 1 soundchip. Something happen to your model 1?

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

+Gender Neutral Chibi Thing They're both out of service at the moment. The VA3 died an untimely death that I haven't been able to repair... or even diagnose, and the other one, a VA6, is being used for experimentation purposes (that is, it's open right now, and missing an amplifier). I could actually still record from the VA6 the same way I was recording before, bypassing the amp, but it's a hassle--especially when my Mega Amp'd recording machine is good to go--I actually have two of them. I am thinking about taking the 2612 out of the dead VA3 and seeing if I can build it + another Mega Amp into another Model 2 I have that's not currently doing anything to take its place. To see it live on, in spirit. I don't know, however, if hand-soldering bus wires to the 2612 will actually work and be stable, though.

[@zanegandini5350]

Which one is the VA6?

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

Gender Neutral Chibi Thing VA6 is a late one, just before they redesigned the sound circuitry (and made it terrible). I've only uploaded one game's soundtrack with it, Rocket Knight Adventures. All the other Model 1 recordings on this channel are the old VA3.

[@zanegandini5350]

Then why do you want to use the MegaAmp on it? Won't it make the YM2612 sound worse?

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

I don't want to use the mega amp on it--I do want to use it on a model 2 with a transplanted 2612 (which would get you a near identical experience & save me from buying another Model 1). The VA6 is basically for "experiments."
