GLORIOUS GRADIUS! This is nicely made! You my friend, have addressed the "core" of my bad thoughts and "destroyed" it, thus making me and my ears happy! ^_^
I clicked on this thinking to myself "Is this SFC or ARC?", and then I found out it's both. :^) Awesome! I especially like how it includes both Cell stages' BGM.
I've been listening some more since my last comment and I just can't get enough of all the slurs, bends, vibrato, and grace notes. Very well done, Wally!
As a fan of Konami music since I first got Gradius as a birthday present in 1988, this is pretty fucking badass! Keep it up! You nail the Konami NES style perfectly.
Dude...this is beautiful. It sounds just like it came in that classic Konami gray box we all know and love! Gradius III is far and away my favorite in the series.
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it! Gradius III is definitely my favorite as well, I still remember playing it for the first time and being unable to fathom how anyone could have the skill to beat it (this was the SNES version, too!). Didn't take too long for that to change haha. I think it has the best soundtrack overall though in the series, everything is just super memorable and enjoyable.
***** Hey, I'm glad you liked it, thank you very much! I was going to shoot you a message when I finished this but I completely forgot, whoops! Glad you found it anyway, haha.
@@WallyChantek I read somewhere that someone DID make an MSU-1 patch using this audio. I'll have to find it! I described this arrangement to a friend, saying that it sounds SO authentic to vintage Konami, that had I not known better, and someone played it for me, telling me it was audio for a cancelled NES port of Gradius 3, I'd instantly believe it.
I have to echo everyone else here. This is amazing! There’s a few choices later on that don’t quite sound like what Konami would do, but overall it’s quite impressive.
Thank you! The truth is I wasn't really trying to imitate Konami's sound, it's just that I'm super influenced by them! So there's definitely a bunch of stuff in there they didn't do in any of their games haha. Thanks again dude.
I wish I’d found this earlier. It’s so dang good. I mean I honestly thought it WAS some Konami stuff at first then I actually went back and read the description and it blew my mind! You’ve made some excellent stuff. I keep coming back to it.
Considering Gradius III has my favorite OST out of all the Gradius games, this album is on beast mode. Free Flyer is even better than the Arcade version and when Crystal Core's theme came on was an "Oh shit..." moment for me. Keep up the good work! Look forward to hearing more.
This whole album was made for just the 2A03? Considering Konami was involved in the original, I'd have expected VRC6 to be mandatory to make something like this. Yet, if I didn't know better, I'd have thought this was the OST. Flawlessly executed.
Thank you very much, and yup, pure 2A03! I'm not a big fan of expansion chips so I don't use 'em. If you're interested, I included the Famitracker source file in the album download so you can check out how I did everything!
plus, i get the feeling he was going for the Famicom version of Gradius II with this soundtrack style. The VRC6 wiukd have bben nice, tho...as long as he didn't try to imitate Akumajo Densetsu/Casevania 3 like everyone else.
That's right! Gradius II FC is perhaps the soundtrack I've studied the most, so a lot of my influence and techniques for all of my music are taken directly from it. It really opened my eyes to what kind of amazing stuff you can do with such strict limitations!
Well, considering that Gradius III was released in 1989 for arcade systems, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse was released in 1990, Lagrange Point was released in 1991, and Gradius III was ported to the SNES/NSFC the same year as the last game, it honestly is more realistic to use a VRC6 or VRC7 chip for an NES/FDS Gradius III port, and especially since the voice samplers on both chips are far superior than what is found on the VRC2 or VRC4 chips that preceded them, not to mention that Konami would have been using those chips in their NES/FDS cartridges anyway at that point in their history, Wally Chantek and L-Y3T. Furthermore, one of the things that is memorable about Gradius III was the announcer that told you what items that you had (even though there was also an announcer with the same voice sample in the two previous arcade versions of Gradius, though there was no voice sample on either the NES or FDS ports of Gradius and the FDS/NES homebrew port of Gradius II had an announcer, yet the voice is horribly muffled, despite both arcade games having the same announcer as Gradius III in their arcade forms...seriously, go listen to the SNES, PSP, PS2, or Arcade ports of Gradius III or the arcade or PC-Engine/TurboGrafx 16 versions of Gradius I and II and you will know the truth for yourself, yet a VRC6 or VRC7 chip could easily solve that problem), plus there was some additional audio comments that the arcade port of the game had, yet the SNES/NSFC port of the game lacked, not only in the aforementioned audio samples, but also with the written text in Stage 1, as well as just the audio that was mentioned with the final boss at the end of the arcade version of Gradius III (though what he, at least I think that said boss was a he, anyway, said was never mentioned in any sort of text in the arcade, SNES, PSP, or PS2 ports of the game, which would have been nice if that was rectified, anyway). Still, with that being said, what you did on the 2A03 chip sounds damn near identical to what Konami would have done on any of their VRC chips anyway, Wally Chantek.
Gradius (life force, salamander, etc) is one of my favorite series of games, and 3 is my favorite among them. I actually prefer the NES sound chips over most of the 16 bit ones. Therefore: I probably account for quite a few of the views on this video. Very well done.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Gradius 3 is definitely my favorite as well, specifically the SNES version. It just feels like the most well-rounded entry with the overall best soundtrack. Regarding the music, some of the tracks in the other games can be pretty hit-or-miss for me, but I like basically every track in 3!
"Cosmo Plant" was my ringtone for a long time, and I still use the game start sound for text messages. And yeah, I agree, some of them are hit and miss. The bizarre time signatures in some of the Life Force/Salamander games can be a little jarring. IMO, Konami pretty much ran circles around everyone else with 8 bit music, especially with the American releases. Sunsoft occasionally gave them a run for their money.
@@paxhumana2015 Capcom had some really good music on their 8 bit games. Bionic Commando and Mega Man 2 and 3 were both pretty awesome. Konami just did it all so much better, IMO.
This...is... awesomesauce!!!!!! I just remember hearing this soundtrack for the first time on the SNES and it was fan-fuckingtastic!!! Now all we need is an NES game of Gradius III...
Horrorfreak106 Thank you, and I remember too! I actually never played it back in the day, and only heard it when I was in high school. But when I did, I was all like, dayyyyuuuum.
@@isaacbailey3681 The other one, the second variant of the boss theme that only appears in the SNES/SFC version. I remember it being used for the first boss and the one stage with the cave
I won't play the snes version...I won't play the snes version...I won't play the snes version...oh boy, ill play...how not love this NES DEMAKE? I'm very pleased dude...
Am i the only one that imagines what Gradius III game play would look like if made for the NES, something about playing the genere on that platform that is very enjoyable. I mean MSX got gradius III, BUT; listening to this now i know that im not the only one who day dreams of a gradius III game for the NES - the Music here equals = GENIUS. Job well done. ps. Gradius II was done very nicely on the NES not to mention the Arcade hack that was done that makes the NES look like a 12bit system (better than 8bit but not quite 16bit). Using that same gradius II engine i believe gradius III for the NES could be a reality.
If only some mad lad could hack Famicom Gradius II into Gradius III demake with this exact soundtrack I would be happy. If the soundtrack could fit into the ROM memory that is.
Oh don't worry, I fully intend to arrange Gaiden along with IV. Just so you're not disappointed when it comes, I don't plan on doing the entire soundtrack, just most of it. Certain tracks are pretty ambient and I don't think would translate too well to NES. But tracks like Snowfield, Black Hole, and Speed? Those will definitely be on there. Thank you for listening, and stay tuned!
***** Good to heard it. It is really just ashamed the franchise is discontinued. That is what all the corporation have showed their pony tail after being supported from our childhood until now as we being back stab by the company.
AkaTheSnake Don't worry, that's definitely one of the tracks I have planned. Unfortunately it'll probably be a while before it's made due to other projects and real life nonsense, but I definitely want to at some point!
Stage 4 from Gradius sounded great! I wonder how Gradius NES would've sounded like if you did it instead! ^_^ (even though it was Gradius 3 style haha)
Wow. I'm actually speechless at how incredible this is! This is just so fucking cool. I wonder if it's possible to recreate Gradius III on the Famicom?
Thank you very much! It could be possible, but it'd probably have to have some things stripped out, as was done with the Famicom port of Gradius II. Either way, it's something I'd love to see.
Have you played the arcade version of the game? *That* hardware could barely handle the sheer amount of bullshit the game constantly throwing onto the screen.
Very nice work! I particularly appreciate that you included all the songs from both the arcade and SNES versions. Was it challenging making the songs work within the smaller number of channels that the NES offered?
+felineki Thank you! It was indeed quite challenging, but that's one of the things I like about it, and also one of the reasons why I don't use expansion chips like VRC6. It's fun having to figure out which parts can be omitted and, interestingly enough, what needs to be added to make up for the lack of instrument texture/variation.
It was all done in Famitracker. With the exception of the drums, which use the same samples from Gradius II, the instruments were mostly just from scratch based on what sounded good to me (which happened to be Konami-esque since their music's always been influential for me). Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I just found out about this album after searching some songs used in a Mega Man Doom mod (one of my most liked was made by you, Power Shot!), and I gotta say it's amazing what you did back then. I do have one question, though: was the absence of the typical Super C orchestra hit DPCM sample intentional? I could totally imagine these covers using it.
Sorry!! I keep forgetting to fix my site lol, if you go to the index at wallychantek.com/ you can find a download link there. Also that's awesome, tape will never die!
Yup! Overall I prefer the SNES/SFC soundtrack, so most of my arrangements were based on those versions where applicable (except for when I covered both, of course).
@@vandieyahya1024 , fun fact, there is actually a Vic Viper of sorts in an official LEGO set, namely it is in one of the Alien Conquest sets, specifically set #7066. The builder of that set was a friend of someone that was the de facto leader of building Vic Viper models out of LEGO. I think that he built around at least 100 variants of the Vic Viper. The person that did that was named Nate Nnenn and a sticker that is for the little fighter craft that is in that set, as well as the fighter craft itself, pay homage to him. Sadly, he died due to a heart attack around the same time that the official LEGO set was released. Curiously, Konami has never acknowledged this issue with LEGO fans or LEGO itself. Anyway, every November, LEGO fans build Vic Viper models of their own, as he started the concept, only LEGO fans refer to it as Novvember.
@@paxhumana2015 oh really? This is kind of helpful information btw. Thank you for telling me about that the fans of Gradius still care the game even after it is not making game anymore!
Yeah, I didn't really see a reason to do it at the time since it was already done in Gradius II FC, along with Poison of Snake in Life Force/Salamander. In hindsight I actually wish I had since my style sounds different enough from the official releases, but alas. Maybe I'll toss 'em in on a future album!
+Hin shun Wong I'm pretty busy right now, but I'll keep it in mind! There are a bunch of other Thunder Force arranges I want to do so I won't forget that one when the time comes.

Sadly, he died due to a heart attack around the same time that the official LEGO set was released. Curiously, Konami has never acknowledged this issue with LEGO fans or LEGO itself. Anyway, every November, LEGO fans build Vic Viper models of their own, as he started the concept, only LEGO fans refer to it as Novvember.

Is there a reason you omitted Boss on Parade?
Yeah, I didn't really see a reason to do it at the time since it was already done in Gradius II FC, along with Poison of Snake in Life Force/Salamander. In hindsight I actually wish I had since my style sounds different enough from the official releases, but alas. Maybe I'll toss 'em in on a future album!
...or you could redo this entire album and add in the new tracks instead, Wally Chantek.
