I heard the Shadows of Valentia music Went and bought the game.
i literally couldnt contain my excitement for #1 it was absolutely what I was hoping for lol amazing vid (I think showing footage of asriel fight there would have been so much cooler too, just a thought : >)
Cool list! Once I saw p5 music I was expecting Rivers in the Desert too but unfortunately not

#72 = One of the best songs I’ve ever heard.
I always appreciate kingdom hearts being well represented in playlists like this
ППц, почему так мало просмотров? Проделана такая великолепная работа, браво маэстро!
Little too biased with your picks, they are all tending to lean into the same series.
Your #27 is my number 1, but I have to give you this: you have excellent taste.
Great list, well done. Thank you!
Great list. However, I’d argue that not including a single track from the Ys series is an absolute travesty.
Toby Fox is truly a legend, not only for creating one of the best games ever but for also one of the best soundtracks aswell.
i wish there a few monster hunter ost
Just used your video to help put together my own wee video game music playlist on Apple Music – very helpful and will be back to listen more! How have I not heard the version of ‘Moon Theme’ from Ducktales Remastered before – what an absolute hit!!!
Time’s Scar at 99, this better be a DAMN good list.
1 thing: BIPOLAR NIGTHMARE-Nier Automata
Nice job. Always looking for great songs to play in my dnd sessions. This helped a ton.
4:34:55 my personal favorite
Glad cuphead made it lol, I am in love with every single theme from there
If you add a 00:00 – Intro to your timestamp list, the video should show the different songs as chapters on the timebar.
2:35:19 i remember when i played mario 64 on my ds. such good memories. love this game
Amazing
Whetched Weaponry is the best game track of the history, but not with that horrible version of this video.
Great work, thanks for this awesome track list 😁
I think you like fire emblem xenoblade and undertale
Looool
Far cry2 music
Crysis 2 music?
Half life2 music?
😂😂
This is really good. However my friend, you’ve committed a sin. THERE’S NOT ONE SINGLE HOLLOW KNIGHT SONG IN HERE AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY!
Top 100 ‘Nintendo’ video game songs of all time, there I fixed your title
Thnxs huge!
Most of them are from Nintendo but oh well lol
i think this is top 100 japanese video games music
Guys does this dude like Xenoblade Chronicles? I can’t tell.
The top is nicr but too much xenoblade, fire emblem, octopath…. Games like Grim fandango have an amazing soundtrack
I think there is too much undertail in the top, especially since at least three compositions in notes coincide extremely strongly, differ only in instruments
1-5-42 The seats are just copies of each other, and the other two are just different instruments.
Great taste in games and music!
Realised that there are so many good games I haven’t played
How many more of them I will play by the time I die…?
And I’m glad many Japanese ones are slected 🙂
This video is sponsored by NINTENDO.
Fix that title: "TOP 100 NINTENDO VIDEO GAMES SONGS OF ALL TIME.
Number 89 should be only ludwig the holy blade, the first part, ludwig the accursed is good but is overshadowed by the second part, ludwig the holy blade, as they are totally different styles
Wow we have more or less the same tastes !
Nier automata have absolutely best soundtracks, what a game
this list is HEAVILY inspired by games you like, not the Music in it (looking at the top15 it seems that you only put your favorite games in (Xenoblade, undertale, nier and something fireemblem??))
As an example, A top video Game Songs list should always have at least 1 or 2 Final Fantasy Games in the top10..
Are you even have the same song multiple times in it (only as remixes?!?)
I know these lists cant be 100% objective, but this list seems like a favourite Games list, with some random other Game Songs
Damn, no Gwyn’s theme
Seriously?! No Panzer Dragoon OST anywhere?
I’m not surprised that Undertale scored so high! Undertale was an amazing experience and has a crazy connection to each player!
I wish there was full orchestra undertale music I mean the way it is, is great but I feel like it could be better (note I do know that toby fox did the entire game and soundtracks by himself so I can’t really exepect one winged angel to come up out of nowhere or somthing)
i think undertale-undertale deserves a higher rating (haha lol)
This is a good video as a video game music compilation, though it’s a bit biased towards the last 10-15 years.
I’m currently taking recommendations for soundtracks I should listen to for possible inclusion to the updates I’ll be rolling out to my Top 1,000 Video Game Songs list.
Send me your favorites on this form! https://forms.gle/jaryc5uS5qMK6ZBDA
some undertail positions could be given, for example, tracks from the game Legend of Mana, there is extremely beautiful music
So…by six degrees of sepsaration…Octopath CREATED MATRIX 4?
