The music team is flexing so hard in this soundtrack. This is basically an untouchable soundtrack for the era, for both sound and composition. It's downright inspiring to me as a video game music maker.
Right! Dale, so many different types of music complexities found here and new heights of melody and harmonies that we could on;ly hope to attain. Shinobi 3 is in a class by itself!
I found this guy arranging the OST! He also has got a youtube channel... Shinobi 3 ost is TOP!!! m.soundcloud.com/video-game-music-arrangements-by-capricornx/sets/shinobi-iii-return-of-the-ninja-master-1
@@eddieloius4592 I never liked shinobi 3 or the soundtrack, revenge and shadow are 10 times better.
@@METALFACEDOOMXXXX This ost really resonates with the japanese ear, i am told. The kind who is so japanese that their voice sounded exactly like master splinter even when they were a little girl.
@@roermy shinobi 3 sucks revenge is way better gameplay and music
I used to just listen to the sound test for hours on end
90s was the best decade to be a kid. We played and loved video games yet we weren't slaves to technology and played outside.
+Watchmen22 that's funny, my bro and I were talking about this the other day xD we got the best of the two worlds I'd say.
+Watchmen22 I totally agree, back in the 90's I was always playing a crap ton of video games, but I always went outside and played for hours on end. Ohhh to be a kid again...
+Watchmen22 100%
+Watchmen22 I agree. The 80's was also a good decade as well.
Indeed...
These compositions are on par with all the best jazz composers, progressive rock/metal composers I know. It is mindblowingly excepcional for a videogame, and almost a waste, seeing how underrated both the game and the music it are. A work of absolute genius.
Indeed, they are absolute genius! One of the best soundtracks ever made!
you can fault sega for a lot, but one thing you can't is their amazing in house musicians.
All 3 Shinobi games on the Genesis are fantastic. Between Sonic, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Shinobi Sega had some kickass franchises.
Ever notice how the entire soundtrack of the game has a central theme? A key phrase of notes that's used in almost every song. Sometimes it's in a different key, or sometimes is slightly a-modal to the chords, but the theme remains tight and it's always there! Such a brilliant soundtrack and one of the best in the history of gaming.
Indeed...It's fantastic!
Very good point which I also realised!
Noticed that and I love that. It's a short theme but it makes us proud to walk through the game. Very well used in so many different ways. Great work!
mother fucking Solitary at 30:37
nuff said. soundtrack is a friggin' masterpiece. loved this game
+MetallicOpeth Well said.....My favorite soundtrack in the game!!
Brings me back to being a kid. The build-up in the track is amazing
Solitary is this game's masterpiece for sure.
Whirlwind, My Dear D, Idaten, Solitary, Mandara. Damn what a Bangers!
Without exaggeration Shinobi 3 OST The best game music ever written.
Man oh man does this OST take me back - I can't help but smile. I used to love the song "Idaten" when you're running on the horse, and "My Dear D" used to scare me as a kid when you're fighting the boss in that second picture of the backside of the cover. Something about it just added to the creepiness of the boss design.
Idaten always reminded me of the Sonic 3 music mixed with Outrun
wow no love for Whirlwind...that theme still gives me chills to this day!!!
Great track! The whole OST is a masterpiece)
Inner Darkside (for me) is probably the most unforgettable video game music piece ever created; an absolute masterpiece.
I too like it a lot
It's the #1 hands down
this entire soundtrack just effing SHREDS. its shreds SO HARD it's unbelievable for a sega game. Ninja Soul / Rush and Beat / My Dear D probably my favs, they go hard AF
trap boogie, solitary, & shinobi walk also
Dude Sega had the BEST OST's during the 90's. It doesn't stop at Shinobi III.
Actually, check out the Streets of Rage 2 OST
completely agree @@danzohattori
Whirlwind is so damned good!!!
fuck yeah dood!
Yes! An extended version would be dope for a hypothetical Super Hang-On hidden level 🏍
WHIRLWIND FOR PRESIDENT
idaten is a banger too
@@diecast4556 Solitary too
I've never felt more like a ninja than I did playing this game. Years later I still play it, and regard it as the best game on the system (to me anyway). The gameplay, level design, flow, enemies, sound design and soundtrack are all fantastic. And after beating the game and listening the Sakura theme is the icing on the cake. Such a serene and melodic track after the intensity of Whirlwind, Idaten, Mandara and Shadow master which is Metal AF while facing a METAL AF Boss.
THIS GAME IS BETTER THEN NINJA GAIDEN 100% : )
Than*
i think ninja gaiden wanted to be shinobi hehe..ninja gaiden is a shinobi fan boy
Funny seem to recall the shinobi reboot being trash. Regardless apples an oranges
@@charleshodge6920 It wasn't trash. Even Itagaki liked PS2 Shinobi, but it's still nowhere near as great as Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden. NG1 Black was basically Legend of Zelda for adults, lol. Too bad the sequels got rid of the Zelda style hub world.
At least a eagle can't ruin your game like in the first Ninja Gaiden. How you a badass ninja and a bird can kill you?
Sega just knew how make AMAZING soundtracks for their 1st party titles. Shinobi series, Streets of Rage, Sonic, etc. All have GREAT soundtracks.
The music of Yuzo Koshiro in Street of Rage series is an amazing masterpiece
@@doninu Yes, and Yuzo performed live in Europe in 2018 (I think). It was called 'Streets of Rage Live' and you can watch / listen to the entire performance here on CZcams, just search for Streets of Rage live and enjoy. He also plays music from The Revenge of Shinobi. The whole thing is amazing!
25:39 Idaten is so epic and beautiful! My fav shinobi tune)
Mine is Solitary (epic for a final level music) and Izayoi
¡Ese sujeto si que sabe!
Idaten es el más épico, ir con todo en el caballo, e ir corriendo a toda velocidad con katana en mano en el bosque que se incendia, adrenalina 100%
@@nestorenriqueleiva Yeah! The moment is pretty unforgettable!
Whirlwind then Idaten followed by Solitary for me.
The "Izayoi" soundtrack is truly amazing. I love this game...memories!!
Beautiful tune :-)
That’s my fave too.
Amazing flex! The percussion breakdowns are on point
You could say iz a yoi to listen to
Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3 has some of the BEST music EVER in video games. Very under-rated...
The music was the only good thing about this series
@@markpugh6808 Trash comment, Shinobi is one of the greatest gaming series
@@misterhimura036 if you say so
@@misterhimura036 Shinobi 3 is best action platformer of the 16-bit era. Revenge of Shinobi is great as well. When you consider it's 1989 release date just bonkers. Shadow Dancer is really good also just a different type of experience.
I wish we got a a true sequel to Shonobi 3. The engine for that game was flawless and Sega should have milked it in a Mega Man esqe way.
@@markpugh6808
Shut up badass.....One of the best game of the story....
I love how the best song is at the very end lol
whirlwind is epic listen to tones of the YM2612
25:39 Awwwww yeahhhh! I've been looking this for years, big thank you!!!
11:21 - "Inner Darkside"
Masterpiece
Wow, this Soundtrack is gold. 🥇 🥷🏾
Thanks for going through the effort of doing this on legit Hardware - I can really hear the difference in "Solitary". A lot of emulators don't hold the notes as long as they should, and there is some noise that is usually cleaned out. Well, that's why they're emulators.
30:37 is the jam.
yes sir! my favourite.
FRRR no one talks abt solitary
one of the coolest videogame music soundtracks ever :)
the track starting at 45:30 was the level that you ride the jet ski is one of my favorite music tracks of all time in any video game wow great memories ty!!
Yup! Came here specifically looking for that track. It's so, so good! Only flaw is it's too short! XD
Sounds like Remember the Name by Fort Minor rips this off, although it's a very very very common chord sequence.
It’s some sort of snowboard 🏂 all I can hear are the beeps before each jump
@@Jezeus11 Same lol
The Shadow Master music is so Crazy!!!
I love how the last bullet point, on the back cover, offers "real ninja sound effects". Does this mean Sega employed real ninjas, during the 90's?
They were really committed to realism.
I like to think that Sega bugged Real Ultimate Power's headquarters with several mics, and just took their time selecting the best sound effects.
I understand why a lot of YT channels just use emulators, it's a lot easier! That said, even though modern emulators are very close to perfect (I think Genesis Plus GX basically is perfect from a mathematical waveform generation standpoint), the coloration/filtering of the output isn't really emulated well yet. That little bit of distortion/noise/high end filtering makes a big difference to me.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL any chance on upping this ost in FLAC?
One thing I've noticed on real hardware that I never heard on any emulators When you pause a game during play...The audio doesnt stop right away...There's always a little buffering time ending in some kind of distorsion...
He never uses emulators, he directly records it from actual hardware
Definitely one of the reasons i always look for OST rips recorded from real hardware.
Hell i even recently got a Model 1 VA6 with the the High Definition Graphics text on top so i could listen to my games right from the headphone output
Out of all Shinobi games, this one was my all time favorite.
You're crazy
11:20 My Favorite 😻😻😻
Possibly the best soundtrack on the entire Genesis library, including Streets of Rage 1 and 2. I remember hearing it and dying over so I could hear it again. Even though I could go to.thw sound test and listen to the songs, it's different when you are playing the game because it went with the game so much. Whirlwind is a damn classic hands down
Agree 10000%
As much as I absolutely love this soundtrack, I think I'd have to give the nod to Contra Hard Corps
Nostalgia. Shinobi walk is that groove
38:47 this part of Trap Boogie is so GOOOOOOD
I always liked Mandara, but I especially love it ingame, when you're facing the sixth round final boss, when you first fight him with his illusionary image and then when you whack him enough times, the music switches from Hassou (also a good track) to Mandara. Has a strong feeling of a "shit just got real" moment.
Yeah that is a great moment
Thanks you so so so much for taking the time to do this
Holy shit. This kickass OST sure is nostalgic. Thanks for sharing dude.
The drums in every piece are SOLID... AS... FUCK!!!
Ive been coming to this channel ever since this OST has been uploaded on here. I come twice a year (maybe more) to remind myself of my roots if i ever feel lost. This is the best Video Game soundtrack.
Thanks for taking the time to use real hardware and ensure high quality recordings! Most other channels on CZcams just use emulators and don't sound nearly as good.
Solitary is metal as fuck.
My favorites 00:00 - "He Runs" and 32:26 - "Izayoi" :)
😍🔥🔥🔥 izayoi!!
This whole game and its soundtrack to this day has not been topped. It was in its own league.

Any chance of you upping this OST for download?
Download in .flac would be much appreciated!
Thanks! But why is there no BGM2 (Underwater) track???
The Analog Music Project
Shinobi III
Jazz/funk/electro groove band, did an analog recording, homage to this classic fighting game.
Cheers 🇵🇹
It really didn't get much better than Whirlwind. Jesus that song is just intense and beautiful. Really made you re-think what FM Synth was capable of when you took the time to actually create something specifically for it.
Nobody talkin about how Shinobi Walk is a funkier groove than the entirety of the sonic franchise's OST
Because that's pretty much your opinion even though Shinobi 3 music is damn good. But better than the ENTIRETY of Sonic's music. Yeah, either take off your nostalgia goggles or let folks know in advance next time.
Also old comment I know.
@@dnmstarsi Sonic hasn't been good after the Sega Genesis but go off queen
@@zoned7609 You're in no position to insult anyone, kid. You don't see Shinobi get concerts dedicated to its music. The best it got was a couple of tunes from a STREETS OF RAGE concert and it was Revenge of Shinobi (given how Shinobi 3 wasn't done by Yuzo or Motohiro) so your point doesn't really stand.
@@dnmstarsi lmao the irony of you, a child, calling me a kid. Concerts? Holy shit, that's so cringe. Imagine attending a concert for Sonic the hedgehog music covers and admitting it online
Also imagine getting so personally offended by a SUBJECTIVE OPINION that you try to argue about it like there's a "true" answer. It's an opinion, smoothbrain. Maybe learn what one is.
Oh and nice handful of logical fallacies
Epic soundtrack from an Epic game it's hard to believe that I was 10 when this game dropped. Shinobi forever!!!
Masterpiece!
HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS ? FIRST OFF THIS GAME OWNS CAUSE ITS SHINOBI IN GENERAL.NOT TO MENTION ITS ONE OF THE BEST GAME THEMES OF ALL TIME 30:38 OWNS ..... ALL THE TRACKS DO . RESPECT !
Amazing
Great work, I can't believe you did that with Movie Maker!
I actually found this game at my local game store I frequently visit for only 5 dollars complete with manual and game and case. Still enjoy this game even when I was playing it back in 94 on the Genesis 2
mechaart I downloaded the game trough my everdrive cuz i never find it :c
But fuck yeah! That game rocks!
Woow memories in 90s me and my big brother playing this back in days in morocco such memories i remember that day friend of me he was snes fanboy get me to his friend house and changing cartgrige between us free i remmember giving him nba jam tournament edition and game called greendogs and he giving in exchange two guess what its shinobi 3 and comix zone my mind was blowing way with those 2 games one of the best experience that we have on our beloved sega megadrive as games
mandara
whirlwind
Sakura 24:10
Shinobi 22:47
Idaten
Solitary
THE GOD OF gaming OST's!!!
Me sorprende que este Juego no aparece en las listas de mejores Juegos de Genesis / Mega Drive
Izoya was my fav!!! Miss this 🎮
Always gotta end with the best.
Game of the century!
So gooood
I love ot
11:22 has such an eerie feel to it. I love it. If I'm not mistaken, that song plays in the lab stage right? If so, it fits the mood perfectly. A creepy, dark laboratory with brains in jars that attack out of nowhere.
Moop Bread & those green slime monsters
best game I've ever played on my mega drive 1
⭐️
😓😥 memories man...
mission impossible music in japan
* these songs *
perfect timing
The winner is solitary....
Now I wanna play some Sega Genesis :P
My favourite track is Whirlwind. It makes me feel always better
This OST is really amazing!! My favorite tracks are Japonesque and Idaten!
My favourite track is Izayoi ... So cool and dark =D
My favourite shinobi game
Inner Darkside
I'm in da 90s all over again
i don't know if this or castlevania bloodlines holds the 1st place slot in my favorite Sega soundtracks, but it's insanely close
Anyone notice the leitmotif across some of the songs? Not sure if its sourced from the level intro BGM and/or "Inner Darkside" (which is built around it). Awesomeness.
incrible soundtrack
Solitary is my fav.
"Idaten" (the section where Joe rides the horse) sounds so much better than on the emulators.
I can't tell any difference between this, regen, fusion, or genesis plus gx.
Just listen carefully. Some of the notes are held longer! ;)
Conversus Vans Well, I'll just use exodus then. :)
dogen If you can't hear the difference, you can't hear the difference. I was stuck with some crappy PC speakers for a while and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between hardware and emulator, but when I got my powered monitor speakers back the difference was pretty obvious. It is in reality a small difference from modern emulators, so if they're good enough for you, then great. I do this because people seem to enjoy it, I never really planned to make this my thing.
I'm not a big emulator fan not really because of inaccuracy but because playing in front of a computer with a flawless picture (or enhancement filters) and razor sharp sound doesn't feel right to me. I like Genesis Plus GX on the Wii OK though, I'd use it more if I could use a real controller with it though.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL Have you tried exodus though? It's extremely accurate, down to the clock cycle. I'd be surprised if it didn't sound the same.
Probably in the minority but I actually prefer this OST to Yuzo's Revenge of Shinobi, doesn't have anything as epic as 'Chinatown' but overall this edges it for me.
+tsangpogorge I agree actually
I feel pretty much the same way, and also with Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 and Basilisk Mine.
Definitely think this ost is overall stronger myself too, despite the quality of Revenge's ost. I think the Ninja fighting against evil vibe was better captured here than in the former. It feels epic throughout most of the game for me.
You just can't beat Solitary, Whirlwind, My Dear D, Shadows, classic.
My thoughts exactly. Some themes have a comic super hero vibe which is pretty cool and fitting the stages of the game.
Overall it is also better designed than Revenge in all the other aspects.
let me tell you then, that this one is superior because ros's ost was created before, so they had more tecnology when they created this one. but if they were made at The same time, ros was the best
Solitary's the best one.
idaten
"Whirlwind" в этом списке самый крутой трэк!😎
25:38 don't forget Idaten :)
This whole thing needs to be done in a metal cover.
solitary and japonesque is so shinobi 😍😁💪🤙🔥
My Dear D is da best
+Евгений Захаров respect to you. If people get past the first 15 seconds, it just gets better
My favourite of an all round epic soundtrack. It’s got that 3 step waltz tempo which suits the style of the track. Shadows comes a close second.
Superb....it should of been the song for the final boss at the end of the game.
😁 to day full complet copy of shinobi 3 between my hand yeees welcome to my collection
Never had this game but my favourite ever is R.O.S (console wise 16 bit)
And my fav arcade game is shinobi tbh I much prefer these games to sonic and mario being a ninja is the best ❤️❤️❤️ subscribed for having stuff I love
So much of the music in these heavy plastic cartridges is absolutely relevant today. Just check the super eerie feel of 12:00 , with some kind of eastern synths melodies that come and go out of key, while a proggy D n' B base goes. Awesome piece lost in the middle of a 2 minute videogame stage! Whirlwind would be bought hands down by ANY power metal / heavy metal band and it would become an instant hymn. Fuck real music, I stick with the Motorola magic thanks
Hated that level when you have to jump platform to platform and with like eagle creature chasing you. All I remember you falling and falling
Harry Cardona I had full on anxiety attacks dying on that level from ages 8-30
Stage 6- Traps
Ground Zero is so good
Somebody gave the soundtrack gig to a prog rocker with something to prove.
brutaler sound
Inner darkside is the 1!
