returnig after 22 years to this music..... i heard for the first time when i was 12 years old..... now i am 34 .... but brings tears to my eyes...... wow ..... just wowwwww...😍🤩🥰 thanks for the likes guys 😀
The Stage 1 music is so epic that I only heard it once at someone's house when I was 6 years old but it instantly got saved in my brain's playlist and 20 years later I found it again by chance on TH-cam! Such fond memories! One of the best OSTs ever!
Took me about 34 years 😆, couldnt remember the name of this game for ages, just found it a few years back, wish I could still buy the eshop version for the 3ds 🫤
It's said how little people know of this game, especially the soundtrack. This could have easily been as iconic as the Mega Man 2 and the original Mario for the NES, but it doesn't seem like it is. Well, hopefully everyone who watches this video understands how amazing the soundtrack is.
+Arcade Ninja my love for them started with one of my first gameboy color games and dat was power rangers time force and man i love many of there other games too.
alxxpspqr hehe...I did beat the final boss as well, yea, it wasn't easy. Liked the chain spear for its reach...like Scorpion..LOL. The last time I play this was...maybe almost 20 years ago? 30 now..hahahaha..wanna play it again :P
@@paulblart7378 In terms of technical hardware limitations for the NES on resolution, sample rate or a mono mix. The composers likely would have preferred those didn’t limit their work. We can fix that, we have the technology.
I've been watching this video for like 3 years now, and every single time the 'Stage Start' make me feel so godly energical. Best NES game, deserves more love!
Having only played Shatterhand as a kid and not this game, it’s incredible to hear that another game had an OST that sounds so similar and incredible. You could switch the OSTs for each game and probably get the same feeling of awesomeness. I love it!
@Dennis Kaulisch Same as you. I wish found Shatterhand back in the day. Didn't know about it until I way passed my NES day. My kid self would have love to play it.
It’s those potent dynamic, almost syncopated melodies that feel like an original fusion of styles evoking multiple NES composers (Duck Tales, vs. Rockman, vs. Castlevania put in a blender).
Good old days... I wish I could go back to them. Never managed to finish the game then, a decade later I completed it on PC with an emulator. This was the best game ever along with Goal3.
I was actually able to finish the damn thing before emulators. I took a lot of tries and getting the timing right, but it was worth it. Still, for anyone; Stage 4 is a giant stumbling block that will screw you over and over until you master it.
Agree man ! I completed goal 3 and kage both during 8 bit era only...ha ha was a mad gamer...but miss those times ! Also contra & mario nostalgia , many many games Of NES.
The greatest midi game music ever in my living experience. All this sound remind me about many years ago when I was a child. So much emotions that can't describe by word. This game's so awesome, and its music too. Thank you so much for your sharing.
I loved the shit out of this game when I was young and you could play 2 player co-op. Shit blew my mind back in the day. Also hardest game ever, like ninja gaiden but bigger balls.
Ohhh my god..i cant beleive that this opening music is so damn good.i got goosebumps while writting this message...reallly too gooddddd.....Plsssssss...ahhhh what i sayy...i just cantttt
I dont know why Natsume games and soundtracks were so underrated back in the day. The soundtrack is at par with the Ost’s of Konami games at that time (which were truly epic imho)
Natsume was not a big publisher back then compared to Konami. Also the music sounds similar because one of the guys who worked on this soundtrack actually worked for Konami Kukeiha Club before he joined Natsume in 89. Look up Iku Mizutani
Some argue that Croc 2 on the GBC is below average. And yes, I know Croc is from Argonaut Games, but Natsume developed the GBC version. Also, all of the Natsume-developed Harvest Moon games pretty much miss the real reason why the Story of Seasons games (developed by the original developers, Marvelous Entertainment) are highly cherished by fans.
Hmmm Stage 2....where ninja fighting ninja, and marble looking snake that so frustrating to beat, but this game soundtrack really make me want to play again.

Same here for garuda
要记得当时只有8bit，当时的技术，限制的作曲者的才能，32年以后再回去听这bgm，仍然完爆大多数游戏。
Holy shit... That opening is spine chilling. So good. I can't believe it took me this long to find this wonderful soundtrack.
Mutant1988 me too
I had blast of Dopamine in my brain , lot of chilling in spine bro
im 1986 , lol

It seems that all Natsume games are obscure, but the games are awesome and the music is always good
+Arcade Ninja my love for them started with one of my first gameboy color games and dat was power rangers time force and man i love many of there other games too.
lol. My love for Natsume started with S.C.A.T. for the NES. lol....scat (giggle giggle).
what was with the name change from final mission to scat? lol.
I don't know.....rofl
Gradian123 It's the closest u can git...to a Nintendo game called S.H.I.T.
05:17 3rd stage, the bass..... heavenly....
Nostalgia overload. I remember playing this game in my school days. I still enjoy it to this day.
Most melodic and energetic boss fight music ever in video game history!
Yes is true, it's my favorite boss theme of all time.
The final boss theme gets me fired up everytime. It's what I always finish my workout with!
This game was a part of my childhood. I beat the game when I was 12 and I am now 30 and playing it again. Happy old days.
alxxpspqr hehe...I did beat the final boss as well, yea, it wasn't easy. Liked the chain spear for its reach...like Scorpion..LOL. The last time I play this was...maybe almost 20 years ago? 30 now..hahahaha..wanna play it again :P
i just played it yesterday
One night when I was a child ,I played the best nes game .I missed the old days so much
Stage 1 is probably one of the best nes tracks ive heard. Not many songs rival bucky'o hare on nes imo but this is sick.
I seldom shed tears to video games music.but man,that 10:29 was hard,really full of emotion...
everytime i heard it
My brother and I's fav game! We used to often play it. Soundtrack is amazing and so complete!
I played this with my brother in my childhood. Now I play this during the present with my son. Need to pass down the family tradition! Thumb Ninjas!🥷🏻
great music dosen't need to play with expensive instuments, it can be on 8 bit nes device
True
and so every 8 bit console games????
The NES sound chip was only limited by the console hardware it was bound by.
@@excrono Uh... I don't understand. Elaborate?
@@paulblart7378 In terms of technical hardware limitations for the NES on resolution, sample rate or a mono mix. The composers likely would have preferred those didn’t limit their work. We can fix that, we have the technology.
The ending from this game is the best 8-bit song I've ever heard!
was one of the best levels and boss fights too
I somehow played all the obscure and hidden gems nes games in my childhood.this is God tier
I've been watching this video for like 3 years now, and every single time the 'Stage Start' make me feel so godly energical.
Best NES game, deserves more love!
3 years? ...straight? Hot damn
@@turbochop3300 not 3 years straight, every now and then I come back to hear this classic
Yeah..Gimmick! Video Game Rock Band covers Kage's Opening. It's recorded well and it's live.
its already 30 year and the soundtrack still good to hear. its bring back good memory
Damn!! I found it!!! Nostalgia...I finished the game in one evening...still remember the music 25 years later.
Lmaooo I never could make it past that samurai
Having only played Shatterhand as a kid and not this game, it’s incredible to hear that another game had an OST that sounds so similar and incredible. You could switch the OSTs for each game and probably get the same feeling of awesomeness. I love it!
@Dennis Kaulisch Same as you. I wish found Shatterhand back in the day. Didn't know about it until I way passed my NES day. My kid self would have love to play it.
One of the best soundtracks on the NES. Gets you really pumped.
Yup
Opening 3 tracks are mind blowing, we used to beatbox on these in childhood ... Gone are those beautiful days :)
all of natsume's games have best soundtracks. simply epic.
The GOAT of NES ost. It's one of the most enjoyable NES titles, up there with mighty final fight.
It’s those potent dynamic, almost syncopated melodies that feel like an original fusion of styles evoking multiple NES composers (Duck Tales, vs. Rockman, vs. Castlevania put in a blender).
This soundtrack is so good. Hopefully the remake's soundtrack holds up.
el soundtrack de Kage es simplemente una maravilla
7:06いかにも忍者らしい疾走感に満ちた名曲だと思います。
9:47皇帝ガルダには苦戦させられたプレイヤーも多い事でしょうね…
素早い上に攻撃パターンも多彩で耐久力も極めて高い最強の敵でした。
i still love to listen this music even though 2019
Me still going on 😄
One of the most stylish gameplay and the music also says it so...
This game really had god tier music, also one of the best looking games back to NES times.
One of the best soundtrack of the FC(NES) era. I couldn't beat the entire game when I was young, so I'm just here for the music.
Interesting that Blue Shadow has three different names.
Was an epic soundtrack 30 years ago and is still, absolutely love it :)
“Kage”: (Blue Shadow of the Ninja)
Good old days... I wish I could go back to them. Never managed to finish the game then, a decade later I completed it on PC with an emulator. This was the best game ever along with Goal3.
You are not the only one who wants to go back to the old days ! I wish this also but this wish will never come true for us .
I can finished this game in no sweat bro
I was actually able to finish the damn thing before emulators. I took a lot of tries and getting the timing right, but it was worth it. Still, for anyone; Stage 4 is a giant stumbling block that will screw you over and over until you master it.

Best soundtrack of any NES game , i stand on this
The greatest midi game music ever in my living experience. All this sound remind me about many years ago when I was a child. So much emotions that can't describe by word. This game's so awesome, and its music too. Thank you so much for your sharing.
Yea I'm having a hard time finding a better soundtrack. This is like some classic metal right here.
Музыка просто потрясающая !
The remake of this game came out recently, and now TH-cam recommends this to me, it must be a sign
My childhood favourite game. best music ever
This game deserved more than 5 stages. 7 would have been nice, maybe even 8.
Opening & Garuda theme so Epic!

Nikhil and Chachaa, that´s because timestamps in descriptions don´t work for cellphone users :)
Sounds good ❤️ have no words to express the masterpiece
These tracks full of guitar shredding moments 😊
There are 2 composers for this album. Iku Mizutani (水谷郁), Kouichi Yamanishi (山西浩一)
I loved the shit out of this game when I was young and you could play 2 player co-op. Shit blew my mind back in the day. Also hardest game ever, like ninja gaiden but bigger balls.
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS KAGE!!!!!
My memory game song. My best ninja nes game ever.
Những năm đầu thập niên 90 tôi và thằng em họ hay chơi game này ở cư xá Lữ Gia gần trường đua Phú Thọ. Nhớ lắm tuổi thơ dữ dội!!!
Last stage ost is awesome !!
The ending theme is peak.
These songs are now like an image from an old memory!
真实太牛了。有心了。真不错。最喜欢的游戏之一
shadow of the ninja赤影战士，是那个时代最好玩的游戏之一，
Remind me of 1991 when I liked this game so much but can only watched my brothers played it cause I wasnt good with games like this and contra, etc...
Perfect soundtrack
5:17
This is time machine.
Ohhh my god..i cant beleive that this opening music is so damn good.i got goosebumps while writting this message...reallly too gooddddd.....Plsssssss...ahhhh what i sayy...i just cantttt
://3 i know righttt its too good!
@@ravinapandey7440 Really its too good
Hands down best nes game soundtracks!
Facts!!!
Es simplemente increíble la calidad de esta composición, incluso con canon y recursos que nadie imaginaba en un dispositivo de 8 bit.
I dont know why Natsume games and soundtracks were so underrated back in the day. The soundtrack is at par with the Ost’s of Konami games at that time (which were truly epic imho)
Natsume was not a big publisher back then compared to Konami. Also the music sounds similar because one of the guys who worked on this soundtrack actually worked for Konami Kukeiha Club before he joined Natsume in 89. Look up Iku Mizutani
Cool music. Miss the 90's nes games.
reminds me of those hot afternoons and i am trying to plug in the RF jack to my console and the mission starts, missing those times
genio! muchas gracias por compartir esta joya. Saludos desde Argentina.
Excuse me? Why is this so good?!
Good rythm. Good melodies. Very good bass that supports the songs.
Behind every great composer is an even greater sound programmer.
Natsume y su inconfundible sello musical ...era imposible no identificar sus acordes
Eso ,opino lo mismo,,,su sello ,,,ah ese es de netsume
The surge from listening to the opening music !
Con esta musica da ganas de salir corriendo a toda velocidad😅😅😅😅😅
Stage 2: Flash! AAHH AAHH!! AHHAHH!
+Conrad Duren LOOOOOOOOLLLLLL you are right!!! hahahahaha
i love u omg :DDDDD
Ending theme Cool :-), awesome game
natsume love u.....
Is there ANY bad Natsume game. I'm pretty sure not.
this game pretty good
I mean "Princess Debut" on the Nintendo DS was pretty bad.
Some argue that Croc 2 on the GBC is below average. And yes, I know Croc is from Argonaut Games, but Natsume developed the GBC version.
Also, all of the Natsume-developed Harvest Moon games pretty much miss the real reason why the Story of Seasons games (developed by the original developers, Marvelous Entertainment) are highly cherished by fans.
not to mention the cutscene at menu if pressing nothing is amazing as well
Hmmm Stage 2....where ninja fighting ninja, and marble looking snake that so frustrating to beat, but this game soundtrack really make me want to play again.
the snake thrusting is so annoying, but my fav boss is that destructable samurai
@@AniSepherd972 alright...😁👍🏻
Such an under rated game.
one of the cool shit action games of that era,,music and game is really nostalgic
Absolute masterpiece 🙌🙌❤️
la mejor infancia del mundo
those were the days! awesome!!!! takes me back. I remember it took me a whole night to finish this game.
Спасибо, аж олдскулы свело)
Tuổi thơ của 2 anh em tôi gắn liền với những game Nintendo, nhạc quá tuyệt!
NOSTALGIA!!!!
It recalls me about the day once was a kid and rushed to video game shop and known someone’s on which stage by hearing this godly soundtrack. Cry…
T_T
Now I really want a remaster of these tracks
I love this soundtrack
This feels really modern compared to even the Ninja Gaiden soundtracks. It sounds more like an arcade game than an NES game.
The beginning Stage 1 reminds me of a part in the Thin Lizzy song 'Massacre'
Stage 1 ,2,3 & 5 are literally my childhood audio porn ;) this game was fucking class.
Garuda...my new ringtone.👍🏽👍🏽
That boss and final boss BGM... I can't even forget them! And it's already 24 passed since the last time I play this game.... 🙄
Stage2 is fxxking epic
Tht boss fight music s so awesome
Garuda 's theme, its pure metal !! and its the same in ninja gaiden shadow.
Kage, Contra and Astyanax soundtracks are the best 8-bit made ever in my opinion.
Batman for NES, too
Known in Europe as "Blue Shadow". Awesome soundtrack.
OMG，so high qulity tech music by the pro
brilliant game and ost. childhood nostalgia. pirate rom....ㅠㅠ 개 추억이다 진짜....
