Shinobi III - Idaten - Cover

As requested by "DjAndySpb" Here is my cover of "Idaten" from the Sega Megadrive game "Shinobi III - Return of the Ninja Master"
Apparently "Idaten" is the name of the Horse.
I was going to do parts in the song with different melodies, but I think nothing can beat the original melody and so I decided against it towards the end.
Original composers: Hirofumi Murasaki, Morihiko Akiyama, Masayuki Nagao
Here is a bit of "In the Making" / 653770881475401

Even starting with the horse is EPIC!

[@goldman77700]

Amen.

[@MusaOzilOfficial]

Oh definitely!!! That horse so badass it’s got its own name

[@Nickel_The_Wise]

@@MusaOzilOfficial No bridle or saddle, this horse is a WARRIOR! and it's real lucky to punch out of that melee without being injured~

[@johnheavener8467]

Oh yeah!!!

[@alexwhite2211]

This. This is why I was always a Sega fanboy. Extensive library with grittier intricate sounding hardware. Also anything goes, no family friendly filter. This remix packs a punch harder than the already great original.

[@The_Crimson_Wolf_]

Exactly. Not this Sonic Colors crap... Nintendosized children's crap. Real Sega is the underground goodness

[@NinjaEmeraldOfficial]

[@Emberson-9000]

To be fair, Nintendo did have Super Metroid. Otherwise, I agree.

[@gamephreak5]

False. The Sega sound hardware was absolute garbage compared to the masterpieces that Nintendo put out with the SNES. Square couldn't make the beautiful music they made in the FF and Chrono Trigger games on the Genesis hardware! Just all bleeps and bloops and twangy blown out synths! SNES's music chip allowed for instrument samples that sounded WAY better than anything on the Genesis! That's why I'm a Nintendo fanboy! Better games, better music, Nintendo Power!

[@vividcolorandrichaudio6134]

@@The_Crimson_Wolf_ Bruh, what? Sonic has always been marketed towards kids. Terrible example.

[@MusaOzilOfficial]

When the horse has its own soundtrack you know he’s badass

[@juned_syafitra]

even in the Burning Forest, the song still badass...!!! push the player to make a perfect "hit and rush"

[@mightykitten4615]

Sounds like something you'd hear in a remake. Amazing.

Thanks dude

reminds me of my childhood..and how much i loved this game.thank u SEGA

I STILL HAVE THIS GAME ON MY ORIGINAL SEGA GENESIS SYSTEM AND ON MY XBOX 360'S SONIC'S ULTIMATE SEGA GENESIS COLLECTION.

[@jvince001]

This is best sounding arrangement of this song. Balanced, rich, absolutely sick.

[@yomiknishes6976]

I was looking for a modernized version of Japonesque that still retained the style and spirit, but VERY glad I ran into this instead! Thank you for giving me something I never knew I needed!

[@lukejansen3540]

Haha your welcome, i do plan on doing japonesque one day. I would like to do all the shinobi 3 songs

[@yomiknishes6976]

@@lukejansen3540 I will patiently look forward to it!

[@deleater]

One who carefully maintains the bass(slap or turtle whatever it was) as it was in the original while making the cover of this legendary music is themselves are legend. You sir are one of them. Thanks for making this one!

[@lukejansen3540]

Thanks!

[@abogadowright8326]

A new era begins...

[@DarthEquus]

You absolutely nailed the spirit of the song. Love it.

[@SaeedAcronia]

Imagine a movie about a shinobi and this song is playing at the final boss battle.

[@Victory-in-YAHSHUA]

I was thinking about that! Except that the horse riding scene with this awesome tune would be in the middle of the movie. :)

[@Meteotrance]

The Saturn game was a shinobi movie, except it suck especialy the cut scene, but the digitized game stage was acceptable, for me the third one and shadow dancer was the best ninja game from sega.

[@SaeedAcronia]

@@Victory-in-YAHSHUA Oh year. I the middle makes much more sense 'cause it builds up the character. Thanks.

[@shredasaur8857]

Sounds really authentic, great work :)

Your girl: Darling, Im pregnant 😊 Your POV: 0:00

[@masterkraft4746]

I love how you have remixed this. Sounds like an enhanced version of the original. This song is so beautiful

[@Cafewatercolor]

This sounds AMAZING! It sounded just what I remembered, but more clear, more epic and with more punch, sounded super official. Like Sonic Mania soundtrack!

[@619roca]

😍 childhood memories on the good ole Sega Genesis

[@myownfriend23]

Amazing work! I was just thinking about how annoying it is that people want orchestrated versions of songs in their remasters now. Some songs were made with the synth sound of older systems in mind and they just need to sound more hi-fi and that's exactly what you did. This is exactly how this song sounded in everyone's memories.

[@user-rt5qs9wu1n]

Para sempre todo ninja gosta desse jogo

[@user-uv7yg1fk7x]

this game's music is best

[@Darockam]

This needs more views

[@lukejansen3540]

Haha, I think its done pretty well, its nearly been exactly a year since I uploaded it

No RoS needs more

very true to the original source material. Ninjas everywhere rejoice.

[@Hightower2804TP]

You kept the original charme while doing your own thing. Great work.

[@user-uv7yg1fk7x]

perfect! perfect ! u known this game ! bass is so powerful and stable, the drum is clean, these are the soul of this track. u know how to choose sound. amazing job!

[@lukejansen3540]

Thanks mate, im glad you liked it!

[@DarDarBinks1986]

Shinobi III is one of the GOATs of the Genesis library! If I could pick any games to be stuck with on a desert island, this is one of them.

That panning 8Bit twinkle from 1:06-1:09 is the Chef's Kiss! Mwah!!!!❤❤❤❤

i legitimately though this was original LOL i was like huuh i don't remember the sound to be that crisp

Been one of my ass kicking songs since childhood, good stuff man

[@whirl3690]

Even though this track first plays during Secret Entry, I'll always remember it for when it plays in Act 1 of Electric Demon. The first time I played this game, I thought Electric Demon would be the final level with how epic the music and scenery was with the burning forest in the background.

well done i like it!

Fucking love this game and original song/stage especially. Anyone notice that Idaten has no reins? I wonder what Joe is actually holding on to. Good stuff.

[@lukejansen3540]

Thanks man, yeah I did notice he had no reins, it looks like Joe is stroking the horse lol

[@goldman77700]

XD Yea I finally noticed it after over a decade and a half from first playing it. The super fast ninjas always distracted me enough.

[@lukejansen3540]

Haha, you think he would of used a motorbike instead of a horse, maybe that doesn't seem ninja enough, but neither is a surfboard with a jet engine on it lol

[@goldman77700]

Luke Jansen Yeah they don't pay him enough to afford a Ninja Seahorse. Haha.

Alright, I just gotta admit, it's kinda funny hearing this epic song, yet Shinobi and his horse are just taking a leisurely ride without any enemies to fight in sight, lol.

[@lukejansen3540]

China Town is one of my favorites & I did rewrite it quite a while back : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJStgpZ9gs-bsMk
