Shinobi 1 music similar to castlevania?

[Siamey]

Does anyone find a striking similarity in the arrangement of

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/sega/gamegear/index-sz.html shinobi stage 1

and

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/index-af.html castlevania 1 stage 1 "vampire killer"

AND IT ALSO REALLY REALLY REMINDS ME OF

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/index-af.html under castlevania 3, listen to Stage 1 - "Beginning" (4) (the other versions of this midi are sub par)

and listen to it around 40 seconds in where it does that build, its really similar.

Sorry Siamey, but this thread is now about Shinobi. Shit yeah.

That's Shinobi for Game Gear, and I guess the GG soundtrack, or at least the first stage, doesn't borrow jack from the arcade and SMS versions, because they don't sound much like that at all, from my memory...

well i didnt mean similar to regular shinobi music, i just thought that whoever did the gg shinobi ripped hard on early castlevania tracks. anyways
