= = BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER 8-BIT TRACKS, ALL LABELED AS 8-BIT FOR EASY FINDING = =

NOTE: This is an ORIGINAL song, NOT a remix of any 8-bit game.

This is A Hero Rises, an original 8-bit piece with the idea in mind of being the music for the cheesy intro and title screen of an awesome NES game. Once the main story part is done, you have the classic title screen riff play separately, thus the pause in between parts near the end of the track.

It's all part of a new musical project I've just started, found at myspace(dot)com(slash)dae datheus .

This song strictly follows the NES hardware rules - no more than 3 wave channels at once + a noise channel. This means there are NEVER MORE THAN 3 NOTES PLAYING AT ANY GIVEN TIME, just like a real 8-bit NES chiptune.

Enjoy.

...that I've heard this somewhere before in '07. But that was the year I listened to a lot of NES songs.

AHA! It reminds me of the beginning of the Megaman 2 intro. I honestly don't know how this song reminds me of the Megaman 2 Intro.

This is probably one of the best 8-bit songs out there! It's epic, catchy, and belongs on the NES. Good job, man.

"I can name 2 games this might fit in."

This could fit in Castlevania or Mega Man. Speaking of which a Mega Man song is shown in the users who like this also enjoyed section. The beat has an epic Mega Man feel to it and an eerie Castlevania vibe. Thats how I got the idea of that. This would make an excellent song for an NES game. AND I'm favoriiting this. Props to you for getting a good review from BoMToons. 10/10.
