Honestly, it sounds like you just went to a video game midi site, downloaded a midi, and changed the instruments to something 8-bit. I'm not saying this because I looked around on such a midi site and found one that matches up with this one exactly, but because at 1:02 it sounds muddy with sound. It cease to be arranged music and just becomes noise.
I suggest you go back, tone down the probably 15 or so instruments you have going to something more manageable like 4 or 5. One of the "rules" of 8-bit music (on the NES, at least) is that you can only have FOUR notes playing at one time, or four-note polyphony. 8-bit composers typically used the four notes for four different channels (as attempting chords would have sounded horrendous): One channel might be the bassline, another the "piano" or lead/saw, and the other two for snares (static) or strings (sines).
