Skate Or Die 2 (NES) - Title Screen Music

[@DarkFalz719]

It is almost unfair how good of a track this is given what we know about the limitations of the NES's sound chip. Absolute banger.

[@silverlion47]

Wow so best NES piece easily. Freaking impressive, must have blown people's freaking minds back in the day.

[@christophmatthews4313]

It did.

[@tesorodelao6792]

It hella did, I wanted this game so bad, I remember playing at my cousins house.

[@TheBeeshSpweesh]

This is one of my favorite NES songs, because of the electric guitar used by the sample channel. I right clicked on your video and checked "Loop".

[@dakritic]

This was my wedding song 🤯

[@dertythegrower]

Legend. This song is melted into the brain compartment. Thank you for sharing and saving this historic music.

[@EWadda83]

I remember when my uncle bought this game for my brothers birthday we heard this intro for the first time and we sat through it and let it go through the intro and hit the reset button again so it could start over so we didnt have to see the story/character trailer playthrough after the song was over we played it 4 times before we actually started the game we thought it was the most badass music intro to a video game and it was at that time! Great memories! Hard ass game for the playthrough got to the last level but could never survive it fun as hell to play the ramp action though! A classic! First one is still better but this was a fun sequel to play the music intro alone was worth it 🙃

[@pimphandgamester]

This game actually blew my mind back in the day in terms of what they achieved from the NES. To have voice like that alone was very new to me and still didn't sound as robotic as the Genesis "Sports Talk football". However the controls for this game was utter crap

[@SupremeToafu]

EA oh god what happened to the days when you made games like this, now you make garbage.

[@twn5858]

Toadtoad12345 You think this game is good? Whoa mama, sick puppy!

[@SupremeToafu]

"Insert long rant about it being my opinion here"

[@mitz2866]

twn5858 To be fair it's better than all the shitty stuff EA does nowadays

[@eratic0311]

EA Is The Best But Now I Don't Even Know Anymore

[@austinreed7343]

Toadtoad12345 Did thy ever have a heart and not just profit off the suffering of others?

[@obotprime339]

Pretty good sampling for the NES

[@jamesruggiero3541]

Absolute BANGER!

[@fakename6589]

I didn't expect this to be a genuinely good track.

[@ysg]

agreed, I was a huge Skate or Die fan as a kid and when part 2 came out the music and use of audio samples blew me away.

[@pinkubusXtreme]

i call this one.......... THE BEYONCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!!!!!!!

[@kcbarfly72]

the first time i heard it i was 8, and i was like WHAT...THE...FUCK!!!!!!

[@MrDangerDoom]

Awesome I've been looking all over for this!

[@pmcfarlin7]

Man this song is dope for the nintendo especially the intro.

[@BradTheProducer]

Something is very wrong with this track. The emulator used to record this makes it sound nothing like it does on the NES.

[@Davidevgen]

the emulators are always inaccurate with the audio play back on the pcm channel. fceux nes emulator is the only emulator ive found do do it right.

[@scottythegreat1]

Rob Hubbard Showed Japanese sound programmers how to program the NES sound system.

[@rushnerd]

loved this theme

[@lifeisabigfun]

I prefer skating if i want to hear this song ever again.

[@cartwheelfruitloopthethird205]

Epic

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

The Search for Double Trouble sounds sexy

[@dreyhannah]

So many freaking memories.

[@explod2A03]

Oh hell no! This is just some ridiculous / fun NES music. :) There's actually some pretty interesting technical stuff going on behind it too, considering its very non-standard use of samples for the NES.

[@THEArsinist46st]

I used to Reset the NES just to hear the Voice play back of the intro.

[@explod2A03]

@zaphod77 Yeah, this was before I started sampling everything from hardware. I likely sampled this from 'nsfplay', which is generally pretty good, but it wouldn't surprise me if the emulation quality was a bit off. Especially for the PCM samples. :)

[@FrostbyteEXE]

It has been 0 days since Arin beatboxed.

[@zaphod77]

search for Skate or die 2 power pak to hear how it's really supposed to sound. the emulation is off.

[@onlyjohann3665]

So FUCKING CRUNCHY

[@TheLastLineLive]

Technically impressive from a sample standpoint on the NES, though doesn't have a very pleasing sound. I bet this song could be better on say Genesis hardware... Surprised it was never on the Genesis since EA was a big supporter of it and it had already been out for a year or so by the time this game came out.

[@XanthinZarda]

downphoenix EA and Sega had a falling out, which lead to EA getting banished, hence why they had to make their own cartridges.

[@scottythegreat1]

North American computer game developers/publishers liked the console market. The problem was that Nintendo and Sega were very strict on which games were allowed on their systems. North American companies didnt like the royalty structures that both companies set up. North American companies were told by both companies how many cartridges theyd manufacture for each game and had to pay up front. Electronic Arts and Accolade both tried finding ways to get around Sega's lockout systems (and succeeded). Epyx tried getting around it completely by designing their own console, but didnt have the money to set up the distribution network to market the (handheld) console, Atari rescued them by marketing the Atari Lynx, but Atari also sued them a handful of times for breach of contract, and eventually Epyx went bankrupt.

[@abysmalvsmarcus]

wait!!!!....is this how it really sounds...FORREAL??!!! PLEASE TELL ME NOW CUZ IM GONNA LAUGH SO HARD RIGHT NOWIF ITS TRUE!!!LMFAO. I LOVE IT!!! Never Ever EVER played this game before

[@doddeddo]

Punk rocker Rodney Dangerfield would be proud

[@797gaming]

yes they were badass back then,but not now. I wish I worked at EA so I could use your advice.

[@FireKirby7]

Huh? Jet Set Radio for the NES?

[@natalieb3766]

The audio sounds really janked.

[@unownnnn]

Gamestep

[@Albylion]

DX I thought it was saying 8 4 9

[@TenshiCat]

Why is EA's modern logo there? =P

[@Kha0s8]

Wait EA owns Skate or Die? They need to turn Skate into Skate or Die and turn Madden into Mutant League Football and all will be right with the world.

[@Kingofeurope]

Ate before die! Ate for nye!

[@eratic0311]

Nintendo Did A Great Job But Now They Should Upload This On Eshop

[@RaposaCadela]

the game was made by EA games

Whitney Houston, we have a problem

[@pruchi111]

snerd burglar

[@johneymute]

not sure but i guess that scratchy voice is just 1bit ,but the rock&roll music itself is 7bit,but still it sounds valsh,i think it a emulator issue,cuzz i tout it sounded better on the nes!!??. eventrough this is the only game wich atleast takes full advantage of the infemouse 7bit pcm audio capabillity. but then again the rick rolf nes pcm demo wich is 7bit is of much hicher quality!!!

[@jamesruggiero3541]

Select.

[@delatroy]

lol

[@arciks11]

I'll be honest I don't like it too much. Sampled Electric guitar (at least I assume it's an electric guitar) sounds just weird.. Honestly I find Bass samples from Sunsoft to be more appealing to the ear.

[@Stonezorz]

Sounds more like a youtube poop than anything else tbh. :P

[@mehere3013]

It sound bad , especially the guitar.

[@DeWarioFreak]

It's amazing that a NES Game had vocals. Basic ones though.
