Saunders Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Ninja Gaiden II 'Sprinting Riffs' More upbeat than most of Kaijin's stuff, I wonder how much he had to do with this mix really. This mix made it onto my 3rd or 4th OCR-CD. Some impressive electric guitar work and cool background tunage, this is an overly excellent tune. Recommended.

skawttieboy Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what level this was from in NG2.... But yes, great electric guitar in this mix. And the beat is awesome, I think it helps make the mix that much more interesting. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazGT Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 The second to last level has 3 random songs when you start it; this is one of them. Also, as constantly as I download NES remixes, I'd easily have to put this in the top 10. It'd be better if there weren't so many MegaMan 2 ones, but that's BubbleMan for ya.

kaijin Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Ninja Gaiden 2 'TheParasprinterNG2X'More upbeat than most of Kaijin's stuff, I wonder how much he had to do with this mix really. This mix made it onto my 3rd or 4th OCR-CD. Some impressive electric guitar work and cool background tunage, this is an overly excellent tune. Recommended. to be honest, I didn't do most of the work on this. I worked on the drums here and there and did the background ochestration. The rest was done by my good friend Eric Hache http://www.gamemusic.ca I'm glad you liked the track though, as it was one of my childhood favorites.

Bluebomber4evr Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 The second to last level has 3 random songs when you start it; this is one of them. Yes, but it also appears earlier in the game, stage 3-2 to be exact (the tower after the lightning flash level). Anyway, I love this mix. Simply awesome cover of an already awesome tune from an awesome game. Hmm, I used the word "awesome" a little too much. Doesn't matter. Well done and highly recommended.

Streets of Rage bum Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 yes, DJpretz was right, if Gaiden ever appeared on PS, this would've been the soundtrack they tried to make on that stage. Upbeat, and fast, you can envision Ryu's boots sprinting away at the grass while he's rushing onward to save Irene! totally wicked track!

Mirai Gen Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I'd bump this while playing Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Eschebone Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 This sounds like something you would want to play in a nice, big room. Cool reverb on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junker Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 NICE!

OceansAndrew Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 A galloping Rhythm section and tight leads with a bit of orchestral goodness? Sign me up! The track was well produced, though I would have prefered the Strings to have a little more bite to them; the attack is too slow for this driving style of music. Other than that, there isn't much to complain about. The guitar performance is good, and there is a ton of energy. This one is going on my workout mix.

7-kurgan-d Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi everybody lurking since Dec.04. One my first songs I dl here, Always enjoying the sound of the guitar and keyboard etc. Also some people mention a touch reverb all around made it sound nice.

DragonAvenger Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The energy of the entire mix works really well with the melody. Live instruments are always a plus, so this one definately retains its quality after all these years. I'm a little dissapointed that the mix is basically two repetitions of the same thing, but I'm willing to overlook that as it is a good melody to listen to twice.

Bahamut Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I always did like this song - not something I normally expect from EgM or Kaijin, but damn it's hot. The somewhat repetitiveness works perfectly for the way the song is arranged - I think I would find another way to end it than just a fadeout though, that's kinda cheesy. Otherwise, love it even today, which is great for such an old mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Great reimagining of the track with live instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
