This is in my opinion, the best music ever composed for the sega genesis ever. It’s right in front on sonic 2 emerald hill zone, which is saying something.
It absolutely kills me we never got to any 2nd Gen games from Prime Konami and Capcom for this system. Especially in regards to audio potential. The only games that ever showed off the additional PCM channels mixed with the Genesis Yamaha chip properly were this, Virtua Fighting, and Knuckles Chaotix. Even then I don't think they scratched the surface of what could have been done once cart size increases and proper sound tools were shared. I mean, imagine if they gave Yuzo Koshiro a 32 Meg cart to create Street's of Rage 4? Jesus, that's a wet dream. But even those 3 above games do not do the potential of the sound chip justice. As other, slightly later developed games were starting to show, Jaguar level near PCM, near CD quality, sound was possible here given the memory space. Kolbri is a weird mix of muddy and staticy music, and sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, but it attempted to put everything on the PCM channels, and use samples in place of any synth, giving us a zero Yamaha chip soundtrack. The 5 songs in Blackthorne were a noble attempt at a near SNES quality OST as well, leaning heavily on PCM but incorporating synth when it could. Brutal Unleashed (which is a terrible, terrible, game) actually had a near Tempest 2000 level soundtrack audio wise that was low MP3 quality, and probably the most impressive quality wise on the system. It proved that the chip really did have the potential to produce CD quality sound in the right hands, given enough memory and time. If the 32X had endured another year, and we saw the Castlevania game from Konami, something from Tallarico and Shiny, and of course Yuzo Koshiro composing anything, the 32X mixed sound chip might be remembered quite differently. It kills we never got hear what these games might have sounded like with proper time and memory alocation.
The 32X is neat in a lot of ways, and I understand wanting it to have succeeded and be even stronger as its own cool little thing. However, I also feel there is an inescapable fact: every 32X game would have been just as good or better on the Saturn. It really shouldn't have existed in the first place. Kolibri especially would have been profoundly better on the Saturn.
would you like to hear this track as it could've sounded on original Model 1 hardware? the recent Sega AGES for Switch port of Virtua Racing has you covered.
and now the recompose (using original arcade instrument model 1) is available for SEGA AGES version the original and the recompose booth sounds really cool
Sounds a lot like Hybrid Front in terms of sound. 1:53 - 2:00 sounds a lot like a few of the songs in Sonic CD, and 0:59 - 1:02 sounds way too similar to Tower of Heaven's soundtrack.
Roger C Yup, he did the music for Hybrid Front AND Sonic CD. He also did the soundtracks for Ristar, Golden Axe 2 & 3, NiGHTS into Dreams and Journey of Dreams. This guy has serious talent.

1:22 Oh my God. I don't know why, but those chords after the riff get my tear ducts going. It's so sweet and unexpected.
Super Nintendo Fanboys They may have a superior sound chip but they will never hear a song as beautiful as this😊
holy, wow. Every new musical moment went somewhere I didn't see coming. Brilliant piece here. 10/10
Calm down be
I want this played at my funeral.
An absolute serious banger of song
The Casiopea is strong with this one and I adore it.
hahahahaha what a refrence
did you listen to the megadrive /genesis one? i feel it there too
Japanese jazz fusion is completely ingrained into video game music of this era of japanese developers it's unmistakable
If Hataya's original demo of this was in Sonic CD (also co-composed by Hataya), this would would probably have a lot of views.
pretty much, and that goes for a lot of this obscure stuff
@@dissident93 this is better than the mega drive replay music

Speaking of Streets of Rage 4...

I dunno, we got Tempo, that streamed audio from the cart using the 32x
That was super cool.
Good god, I loved this game. Totally justified the 32X! ^_^
De Luxe VGM, love the mix of...everything, fusion, rock, jazz... and the classic upbeat'ish SEGA beats 🕺
Man the one on Sega Ages is really good. This one still has a lot of charm tho.
M2 are very cool developers to have included this masterpiece
I played Virtua Racing Deluxe in 1994, the original is much better than the Sega Ages remix, for sure.
this song is why I bought the 32X
that fist time you finally get a valid time and scream through the whole replay
It sounds like Sonic CD JP but for 32x
Considering who made both Sonic CD and Virtua Racing Deluxe tracks, that's not surprising.
and now the recompose (using original arcade instrument model 1) is available for SEGA AGES version
the original and the recompose booth sounds really cool
That music is one of my favorite in (my) video game history.
Top 3 i would say.
DKC Aquatic ambiance
VR Deluxe replay
Panzer Dragoon Zwei soundtrack
the slight desynch tells me this might have been made on the gems software.
...which makes it even better!!!
I could have this song on repeat indefinite.
This 1 is better than the replay music on the mega drive
I was a kid when I got to play this on the 32X and honestly, 50% of the reason why I played this was the music.
my friend had this on 32x loved it
1:25 i feel like ive heard this little tune before, it reminds me of gale racer on the sega saturn
What a great composition!
The menu select is my favorite one.
awesome tune...
Sounds a lot like Hybrid Front in terms of sound. 1:53 - 2:00 sounds a lot like a few of the songs in Sonic CD, and 0:59 - 1:02 sounds way too similar to Tower of Heaven's soundtrack.
MattTheCompletionist Is it by the same guy? this is the first thing I noticed about this track. I love it!

Niceeeeeee
Naofumi Hataya is probably the most underrated game composer ever. And yep, it sounds a lot like The Hybrid Front and Sonic CD.
DrDevil FX
Yeah, I could agree with that. More people should know about Naofumi Hataya.
AMAZING
I bough 32x with Virtua Racing in 1995, before Sega Saturn in june 1995.
Hell yea man!
this is better than the mega drive replay music
I think the VR car is based on the Mclaren MP44
This sounds like it came right out of a Sonic game.
This song is in Sonic And Johnny credits
The game is a hack rom of Sonic 1
Same composer Naofumi Hataya, Sonic CD (JP) version Sonic 2 (SMS) version
@@nyaoran_ji Love your pp
My special re-arrangements from VR Deluxe here:th-cam.com/video/tryssj1M5_s/w-d-xo.html
1:23 = ^____^
yes, yes, true
Sooooo true !
All about that bass.
I might be tweaking but i hear intruments from contra hard corps
かっこいい
What genre is this?
Chiptune, Funky, 16-bit, Orchestral seems that genre are most popular Naofumi Hataya music
This has clearly some Jazz influence mixed in it.
0:53 Sex Shooter?
What?
what//
