Nintentunes: the best music of yesteryear

Lazy Sunday can bring upon many things. Totino’s products usually make an appearance on my Sunday’s, along with far too much just plain lazy. This Sunday I thought it would be fun to do something different. Let’s have a music party, I’ll be your DJ.  Watch this video on YouTube ↗     Back when […]

Back when Disney and Capcom were best friends during the 90’s, gamers were treated to lots of great titles from Capcom’s finest. One of the standouts amongst them was Duck Tales. Duck Tales is a game that has a certain cult classic appeal to it, one of the reasons being the super awesome soundtrack the game contained. The moon level happens to have one of the best tracks of the entire game and in my opinion, it is one of the better tracks the NES library has to offer. Enjoy.

This SNES title is the best game that you have never played. Illusion of Gaia is neck and neck with Ocarina of Time as my favorite game of all time. This Enix made title (before the whole Square thing) had it all. Great characters, great looking visuals, and a wonderful soundtrack to boot. Enjoy the town theme, and if you’re really feeling dangerous, go track down a copy of the game for yourself and experience the game first hand.

We may have just received a pretty excellent re-imagining of Goldeneye late last year, but there is nothing quite like the original game, and the music has a lot to do with it. Well that, and the fact that no one in the galaxy can beat me in the complex with proximity mines, no one. One of my favorite tunes from the N64 title was the theme from the cradle level. For England James? No, for me.

What are you’re favorite video game tunes Infendo faithful?

  1. Ah… Illusion of Gaia…the memories……

    Anyways, great tunes! If you'd ask me where my favorite videogame music comes from, I'd have to say the Dragon Quest and Mega Man series.
    I'm a big fan of Koichi Sugiyama.

  2. Ducktales moon theme was pretty awesome! Recently discovered it and was amazed to actly see it posted here on Infendo

  3. Conkers Bad Fur Day while in the Nightclub was too good. I wanted to stay in that club for a while just to listen to the music. Not even head over to the keg, get trashed then pee on the rock guys… (If you haven't played the game, that is exactly what you need to do.)

  4. my lack of a childhood snes comes back to haunt me…. i remember the illusion of gaia review in nintendo power, but never was able to play it. so sad.

    not sure what my fav music is, but i need to call out world driver championship on the N64. not only did it only have one track, but that track never got old. great game.

  5. I love Earthbound's soundtrack, especially the futuristic battle music. There was some great sampling. In fact, if I remember correctly, the audio takes up much more of the memory than the graphics do.

  6. I bet I can beat you in any level with Proximity Mines 😉

    Unfortunately no recent game uses the no-weapon start and weapon-location in the multiplayer levels nowdays. It was great – and Perfect Dark was even better in some points (not all – I like the health system in GoldenEye better).

    Now I really deviated from the topic 🙂

    Best!

    Perfect Dark is a fantastic title as well. Still haven't beaten the entire game on perfect agent yet. Such a slacker I am.
