>>9942452
Ha, knew which song it was the moment I saw the boxart. Pic related has some nice music though, as well as their other game, 8-Bit Music Power

I think Dr Wily 1 from Mega Man 2 is the absolute greatest NES song.

Agreed

>>9942518
I just beat this game for the first time on easy mode and it's now my second favorite 'vania behind Kid Dracula (have not played SotN yet). Should I play II on Game Boy or III next?

Just a few off the top of the head

Next, you should play it on the intended difficulty. I didn't even know there was an easy mode, how did you never play CV1 but looked up the japanese cartridge release exclusive easy mode? These changes would make the game trivial.

>Your default amount of hearts is 30 instead of 5.
>You start with 9 lives per credit instead of 3.
>Less damage is taken from enemies and bosses.
>Bosses take double damage from regular attacks and subweapons.
>Getting hit no longer knocks you backwards. Instead, you just get frozen in place for a split second.
>You retain your subweapon and double/triple shot powerup upon death, though getting a game over will take away the latter.
>The double/triple shot powerups are retained when picking up a different subweapon.

Though I only played this game briefly, very frustrating if you don't know exactly what to do, this theme sticks with me to this day. It's the very essence of sad nostalgia. Perfect for ruminating on wistful thoughts.

>muh moon theme
Sweet. Did you hear it on games done quick?

>>9942651
noice ocean seagull sound effects.

>>9942718
this is the first i've heard of this, but holy shit that dulls the experience so much. I agree with anon, play the original game's difficulty. And be sure to use holy water.

>>9942797
>play on the original difficulty because easy is too easy but cheese the bosses by stunlocking them with holy water because they're too hard

>>9942452
Not going to get into a debate on what's the best, just posting five I really like:

>>9942823
Nta and I personally prefer the cross, but there's a difference between using ingame tools to make a game easier and seeking out a baby mode difficulty.

>>9942904
Using holy water against bosses is essentially turning the game into baby mode. You usually have to actually fight bosses and dodge their attacks but with holy water you just stunlock them to death the second they appear

>>9942858
But this is pretty good too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBN8rthOClo

>>9942452
This song is literally a knock off of a real song. I remember some of the words were "with my baby tonight" and "when she holds me tight".

>>9942723
Holy shit that's good. I could have sworn I've played the rom for that game or at least watched it on youtube, but I don't remember it sounding that good.

>>9943053
>this song is literally a song that might have maybe existed and used some words that were in literally thousands of pop songs so you can't search for it
what a contribution

Megaman 6 and SF2010 had the best OSTs in the system.

You realize there are 4 or 5 tracks just like that feel in Space Manbow? Or are you too much of a BITCH to spin an MSX?

MSX and C64 have superior sound chips and amazing soundtracks. Although Konami was cheating on MSX as well with improved sound chips like SCC.

you don't get to bring friends, this is an NES thread

>>9943995
I love the hint of melancholy in the MMVI song there, fitting as it was a real end of an era for the series. SF 2010 also has a really underrated soundtrack, this song shreds

Holy shit the C64 mogs the NES so hard.

>>9948303

I just looked through my ancient childhood passwords notebook in search of a Casino Kid page. I did not find one - I guess we must have used a loose sheet of paper for that one or something. I certainly remember that tune though.

Batman Return of the Joker IS better than anything here, true. Batman NES is also damn awesome. The Guardian Legend has some melancholy tracks that hit hard too.

>>9942452
Some people have a bad reaction to that song. The first time I played the game on my aunt's nintendo she warned me to turn the music down before the moon stage because she hated the music. I liked it though. I've since heard of other people who hate it too.

>>9954172
It is kinda grating.

>>9942452
The entire shatterhand soundtrack is much better than this. As is any other soundtrack by natsume.

>>9942823

Was going to contribute this - really one of the best. Just too good.

>>9942823
>cheese the bosses by stunlocking them with holy water
That's not cheese, they're intentionally designed to be defeated that way.

>exploit
>holy water stun was intentionally programmed
next you're gonna say they didn't intend to have it work on bosses and at this point you can fuck off

>>9956201
Having it stun bosses is intended, but being able to stunlock them to death definitely isn't. They just didn't think about it, if they had, they would have at least done something like allow the boss to move a bit before being able to get stunned again.

Being able to do stunlock enemies to death only seems evident when you know about it. But in order to get there you need
>to keep the holy water
and everyone thinks it's a shit weapon
>keep it long enough and survive long enough to have at least Item II
and don't forget item II gets reset if you pick up another weapon
>then actually have to think of using it against bosses and keep using it in the right way, and have enough hearts for it; and in against some bosses you need to find the right spots for it to work as well

This is a lot of requirements which is why it was easily overlooked. Next you're going to pretend these are non issue, but the truth is, you only know about this exploit because you learnt about it on the internet. Most people don't find it on their own, which just proves how easily overlooked it is.

>>9956214
>next you're going to pretend these are non issue
They're issues because it's not very well designed
>most people don't find it on their own
I found it on my own because Death spawns in the same spot and you want to immediately start wailing on him with your subweapon. This isn't an exploit and it's not some secret outside the bounds of regular gameplay. Call it for what it is, cheap.

>Gimmick soundtrack
Damn some of the songs are so good they make my heart ache a bit, and I don't have any nostalgia for that specific game.

>>9957338
Wait, what is "Gimmick?" I realize now these scattered mentions are evidently an actual game.

>>9957348
It was of those PAL only exports that didn't make it to the states, like New Ghostbusters 2 (also has a pretty good OST)
https://youtu.be/nM0R8Z_FMrM

>>9944716
Matt Gray is also fantastic. Probably my favorite C64 composer. Because of those guys I started making music in milky tracker and now goattracker. Really makes you appreciate the tunes even more.
