As someone who used to play old NES games, this is way better arranged than anything you could ever hope to get out of that old thing. Maybe the SuperNES could have reproduced this, but I don't think even it could do all the little tricks the arranger managed here. As an example of one of the best arranged end credits of the SuperNES, see this: The Ending Credits of A Link To The Past ua-cam.com/video/_aqUR0Y3dM0/v-deo.html
This feels weirdly melancholy and bittersweet yet uplifting. What the fuck. It's awesome obviously but damn I didn't think an 8bit cover would make me cry then smile and then cry again wtf
kinda wish an old school game based on this song could be made, going through the African plains and the only way to kill enemies is to bless the rains and make it wash them away xD

Wow, I never thought this song can sound even more 80s.
Matches your icon.
His icon is actually from fallout
Well his icon is technically 90’s but I get the point, Fallouts a old game franchise
it actually sounds more 90s bc this would fit in a later NES game, when devs knew more about it
