Just so we're clear, 80% of why I'm adding this is because of the NES guitar.

Sarge,
It pisses me off how Castlevania 2 has such a legendary soundtrack when the game itself is so lackluster.
Chibby,
As much as I love everything about Contra on the NES, I always felt as though its soundtrack was meant for some medium. It's as though the NES sound chip is just mimicking some better version of the soundtrack the creators had in their imaginations. I don't get this feeling with certain other NES soundtracks, like Castlevania or Megaman, which in my opinion sound perfect in 8-bit form.

I think there are a few others that feel like they're trying to imitate wailing guitar solos. Like Tecmo Super Bowl's intro, for instance. I think they sound great, but some of them clearly need some wicked electric guitar in there. Speaking of electric guitar, anyone listen to the Contra: Rocked 'N' Loaded album? I actually have a physical copy of that one. It remixes Contra IV on DS, a splendid revival that would benefit from a modern port that doesn't have the dual-screen thing going. chibby: That sure is an NES guitar.

Not only is King of Dragons a really fun beat-'em-up, but I really love its soundtrack. ansgaros did a great metal medley of it.

How have I gone all this time without posting my favorite song from Dracula Battle II? Iron Blue Intention, as you'll likely never hear it anywhere else.
