Radical dudes! 8BitStereo is finally Revamping this infamous Konami classic, it's the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! This tubular OST is among one of the most well known NES soundtracks for its incredibly catchy nature from the Konami sound team, pretty much all of the main themes are catchy and memorable from the memorable "Title Screen" (which is often theorized Queen's track "Stone Cold Crazy" was an inspiration for) and all the Level & Stage Themes, and just recently official releases of this soundtrack gave us official track titles, while unfortunately very generic, my parenthetical additions for expanding the context of where the track is played is always a pleasure to do. And of course Jun Funahashi's compositions for the majority of this soundtrack are impeccable and his "Title Screen" and "Underwater Scene" tracks are certainly his most beloved from this game, Funahashi is a very underrated composer whose work always deserves praise and shout outs, same for the Arranger and the games Sound Driver provider, Hidenori Maezawa! Now a very interesting note about this Soundtrack is that it wasn't composed purely by Jun Funahashi, Hidenori Maezawa was responsible purely for the games sound programming and didn't compose on this OST, who is often associated as the other composer for this game. Funahashi has confirmed the tracks he composed for and Maezawa's involvement, and has said because its been so long since he worked on this game he does not remember the other composer for the rest of the tracks. However, in the recent Cowabunga Collection that features this title, includes original design documents in Japanese with various names of who were involved, ironically though, there is no pure Sound Designer credit, but a Hagiwara (萩原) is credited for Support under Programming, which the last name is shared with the Konami composer Yoshiyuki Hagiwara, who did actually work with Jun Funahashi on the Mission: Impossible NES OST, however that game is listed as Hagiwara's first Soundtrack he did, so it is currently unknown if he was involved in the TMNT NES game here, his name is put for the other tracks (ironically some of the most well known themes from the game), but is only a Questioned guess and is Unconfirmed. Whoever did compose the remaining tracks I do hope information is discovered one day! :) The rest of the game itself is fairly infamous and well known due to its harsh difficulty and of course the well known episode of AVGN about it, despite its difficulty and wonky programming at times (especially with the jumping in tight spots), the game is absolutely a treat on the eyes Graphically with so many colors and varied environment, and is easy to exploit certain mechanics once you learn about the game and how its programmed, still a challenge but makes the game more manageable. The game does a good job respecting the TMNT IP, even with many of the weird enemy designs, it still feels like a TMNT game, but is often seen as the black sheep of the TMNT NES games due to being a side scrolling platformer than the Beat'em style many are used to. But even with its infamy, the game at the very least is always worth listening to, listening to TMNT soundtracks in the Konami sound font is how I'll always remember these games! Hope y'all enjoy this Revamp of the TMNT NES game, I sadly put it off for awhile due to hoping the official releases would give another name on this OST, but only got the titular "Konami Kukeiha Club" credit. But thanks to all Patreon supporters, much love to you Tier 2 & 3 supporters, glad to still have many of the names still around! Support here if you'd like! :) www.patreon.com/nikotengoku

This game's opening track was one of my favorites of all when I was a kid. It has that kickass chiptune, it's got the motif for the Turtles Theme, and that little guitar solo. Cowabunga!

1:46 has been stuck in my head for 35 years now

This game has been unjustly bashed left and right, it was awesome to play growing up. No doubt the soundtrack was a big part of the experience. So many great afternoons spent with this cart, the feeling of completing it was unique.

underwater music was always my favorite music in this game.

The Underwater spot....PTSD inducing, esp. once the timer begins to run out.

I love this game. I still go back and play it often. My favorite songs will always be the Underwater theme and both Area 5 themes. I just can't get enough of them.

Oh hell yeah!! I loved TMNT back in the 80s & 90s! I always liked to envision myself as the fifth member and I wondered what my weapon would be. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Niko!

I enjoyed playing this on the Cowabunga Collection despite not being the best out of the other 3 NES TMNT games, I even get the option to play the Japanese counterpart “Geki Kame Ninja Den” which I think is pretty unique even tho I don’t understand Japanese.

Say all the bad things you want about this game (I did enjoy it as a kid), but you have to admit, this soundtrack is simply amazing.

COWABUNGA!

2:00 is, as I once heard explained, the only time you'll ever hear a musical question mark

G reat soundtrack and game when it came out for its time period 1980s

I created the dam water level on super mario maker in 2015 or 2016. Turned out pretty good too.

Great add Niko!! Finally one from closer to the bottom of the oldest to newest list!!!!

100% nostalgic feelings here now 😎I love this old school video games music

The first time i played this the intro was perfect.

Classic 👌

This revamp is totally radical and one of my favs on the Nes. Great job! I’m listening to this on my Switch Oled and it sounds wonderful!

The title part, beginning at 0:07, sounds like Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy". Crazy, indeed.

Easily one of my favorite games from my childhood.

I liked it better when the previous cover art has each turtle with their respective mask color, even though it's not the official cover, but this one is.

We are also waiting for TMNT Arcade Game, TMNT Manhattan Project and TMNT Tournament Fighters

Thank you for restoring some of the best memories ever!

you can't tell me that 11:34 was not inspired by the Beatles' Come Together

My day just went from bummer to radical!!

6:48 when you finally find your keys

The best game I've played since childhood!

Very nice ❤

I'm getting flashbacks from this insanely hard game

9:03 crazy ahh stage 13:23 crazy ahh stage 2

Thank you,come on!

COW-A-BUNGA~!

Rad! Hell yeah

The Official Europe Version for this game is changed name.Its name is "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles".

Yusssss!!!

Ah, my childhood.

Real talk: The intro theme would've been better for the show, even if the show itself still aged badly.

level 5's overworld is some great stuff. some hits on this soundtrack for sure... just not stage theme 2- my brain associated it with the more tedious parts of the game....

hello, you have two identical videos on your channel two times Deazemon (FC) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

I just beat this game for the first time ever just this last year. I hated the Technodrome so much. Especially when you're going through the last corridor to get to Shredder. Those hovering laser beam guys are no joke. To go through all of that only to find out that the Shredder is such a pushover at the end was kinda disappointing. This game and Castlevania II had to be the easiest final bosses I've had to face in any Nintendo game I've ever played.

Till this day, love the underwater swimming theme. Hard like crazy, but TMNT was fun back then as I can remember!!!

Therapist: So, when did your anxieties start? Me: 9:03

THANK YOU for hosting the .nsfe file.

Second!☺

First!! 🎉

They are all Raphael. And this game was hard as hell because the controls sucked. Bad

I remember this game, this sound😊 I always liked the music of old video games! Time runs very fast.

You can just walk over it.
