♫BATTLE (Wizardry I・II, PCE CD) SNES Arrangement - NintendoComplete

This is an arrangement of the battle theme from Naxat's 1993 PC Engine Super CD-ROM² game, Wizardy I-II (ウィザードリィI・II).
There are two versions of the song in this video. The first is my arrangement, and the second, beginning at 2:15, is my attempt to recreate the sound of the game's PSG music on the SNES's sound chip. Both were made for native playback on original console hardware, and the audio was recorded directly from a launch-model North American SNES deck. The video footage was recorded from the Super Famicom version of the game. (You can hear what the original theme sounds like playing on a PC Engine here: • PCエンジン版ウィザードリィI・II　PSG... )
Unlike most ports of Wizardry, the music written for the PC Engine sounds nothing like the NES games, and it's awesome. I love this theme!
Thanks for listening!

The PCE CD's Wizardry had amazing music. It's really too bad that it never showed up in any of the later ports or remakes. Thanks for listening! (And don't miss the second version @2:15!)

I only played Heart of Malstrom in the Wizardry series but I've seen videos of the NES version and for some reason the battle music in Wizardry 1 on the NES sounds like a rendition of Riders of Doom from Conan the Barbarian.

I still love the old WIZARDRY games on
the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️.

[@luxtenax9175]

Same. I did not grow up with them but I just got into them this year and I'm surprised at how good and polished they are! I still got to finish the second one so I can move on to the third!

If Megaman had a Wizard Man stage, this would be the theme, and it rocks.

[@kevinpierre7990]

Funny you say that, a fangame of Mega Man DOES have a Wizard Man

[@shad0wburn3d]

wizardry was always a good series.

[@TDurdenArt]

One of the best!

[@frankbauerful]

Almost as good as FF4's battle theme, which is the ultimate pinnacle of battle themes that will never be dethroned.

[@NintendoComplete]

Ty :) hahaha I agree, that one is pretty much untouchable. The whole soundtrack is excellent. I didn't realize until I read your comment how much that slap bass patch makes this sound like an FF4 song.

[@TDurdenArt]

This is so good. Added to my gaming music playlist.

The SNES's audio capabilities were amazing. Near CD-Quality music, when the samples were clear enough.

[@superstaramyrosethehardcoreyt]

Splendid video.

[@NintendoComplete]

Thank you!

[@greasycrab]

Sounds like a mashup of the SNES Final Fantasy games' soundtrack and the Megaman X games.

[@mnemonichotpocket]

Pretty epic

[@NintendoComplete]

Thanks!

[@JestanDiams]

Stupid question, but you remix these yourself, yeah?
