Keep in mind, Yuzo probably never got to sound the classic Sega FM synthesis for years, so for him it must have been an absolute honour to be called to do this after so long!
Yuzo was invited as one of the key guests for the final 12 games reveal show that Sega of Japan did a few months ago. In closing he said that FM music really defined that era of video games and the Mega Drive (Genesis) was the de facto premier driver of FM music so he really feels strongly about it.
Yuzo knew what the genesis was famous for. The amount of different instrumentation created for each game, making each soundtrack unique was the bread and butter of its soundchip. This feels so nostalgic because of that, and amazingly good to hear.
Even though the Japanese version of the Mega Drive Mini doesn't contain Sonic 1 or Ecco, the menu music that makes reference to them is still the same in the Japanese version.
I play one of these in the student lounge on the campus of the college I attend at times and I gotta say, this music makes this game console totally worth it.
So this is what heaven sounds like, DJ is Yuzo Koshiro too? Seriously though, hearing real MD music created by non other than Yuzo in 2019 has got to be my highlight of the year for sure! 😍
They made this music using different soundfonts from different Genesis games. Here's all of them in the order that they are used: 1. Sonic 1 2. Thunder Force III 3. Ecco the Dolphin 4. Super Fantasy Zone? 5. -Castle of Illusion- Landstalker 6. Gunstar Heroes 7. Comix Zone 8. Phantasy Star 4 I swear, I don't know what the 4th one is from... I'll edit this comment if I find out. EDIT: Landstalker is one of the few Genesis games I haven't played, but I listened to the OST and it sounds more accurate. I'm still not fully convinced that the 4th soundfont is Super Fantasy Zone. With the other soundfonts, their influences are really obvious, but after going through the entire OST for Super Fantasy Zone, I couldn't find a single song whose soundfont matched the 4th soundfont. I guess you could say the resemblance is "similar enough" for Super Fantasy Zone, but considering that every other soundfont used in the menu music is really obvious to identify, I think "similar enough" is a bit too much of a stretch. I do have an idea for where we could look though. Every soundfont used in the menu music is from first-party games that are on the SEGA Genesis Mini collection. But I looked through every OST for every game on the SEGA Genesis Mini, and I don't have any definitive answer of what the 4th soundfont is. Also, the menu music was written by Yuzo Koshiro, who wrote the OST's for SEGA games such as the Streets of Rage series, and the Oasis series, so I looked through his works and couldn't find anything either. Hopefully this soundfont can be identified.
I knew the first one immediately, the others, Imagined it was from other games in Genesis that I never played. I mostly played all Sonics and Golden Axe in Genesis, I was a Kid. I didn't have money to go buy games so my library was limited.
When the first time I bought this mini console it's way better than the AtGames brand console. Tbh.. I never had a Sega Genesis back then I grew was SNES which I missed out lots of great games on there. When I first turn the power on I get this amazing music like "Holy SHIT! THIS IS AWESOME!" that was the best mini console ever. Then a few months later I actually hacked the system but Genesis games lol and to this day, I still play the Sonic games and other genesis game in that mini console.
@@johang727 Yeah, they deleted it in a new update. Such a pity, anyways, you can add the music again if you download the song (It's on youtube as Sega Genesis mini nintendo ds edition) and use a tutorial to add it on twilight menu again

I like your channle. 🙂

Underrated comment overused joke
Y'all acting like it's crazy GameXPlain leaves a comment, he's a person just like us lol.
SuperStamps yeah.

THATS MY FAVORITE TOO MATE!!!
SAME
The Gunstar heroes part and the the Sonic 1 part are my personal faves
My personal favorites are the Thunder Force 3, Gunstar Heroes, and Comix Zone parts.
the 0:00 part is epic
Keep in mind, Yuzo probably never got to sound the classic Sega FM synthesis for years, so for him it must have been an absolute honour to be called to do this after so long!
Nah, considering the stuff he uploads to his UA-cam channel, he probably has worked with them Yamaha FM even after the Genesis was done

It did real FM synthesis, which was so powerful and also gave it a near infinitude of sounds
It’s like a medley of improvisational pieces based on famous Genesis songs.
That's what it is :)
Confession - I might have listened to this more than I have actually played my Genesis Mini...
No shame, same for me lol.
(Mega Drive in my case, though)
2:58
Awww.
Yuzo’s take on American GEMS-style music.
And it sounds cool!
0:58 - Ecco The Dolphin (The Vents)
2:24 - Gunstar Heroes (Intro)
0:00 Star Light Zone (Blue spiky boi) ;)
@@mr.malfunction it's sonic
my god the Comix Zone part! i love it!!!
Me too.
I got my Sega Genesis Mini in September 2019 and I still love it!!
My dad got it for me on my birthday that year. I got it mainly for wily wars
The music is so well done, it’s giving me nostalgia from a time I wasn’t even born in. Wow.
0:00 - 0:30 my favorite part
Sounds like Star Light Zone...
Edit: Oh it's mash up Melody
Star Light Zone Good Future
@@Weyzar Or act 2 :/
Edit comments are now dead
2:58 - Comix Zone!!! Holy damn I'm in love!
Does the Japanese and Asian versions have the same menu music, as they contain different games?
Larry why are you here? The genesis mini release over a year ago.
Music is the same games are just japanese versions like puyo puyo and dr robotniks mean bean machine
I have the US and Asian versions and they both have the same menu music.
Even though the Japanese version of the Mega Drive Mini doesn't contain Sonic 1 or Ecco, the menu music that makes reference to them is still the same in the Japanese version.
0:00 - 0:30 sounds like it could've been Sonic Mania promo music.
00:00 Star Light Zone Act 2
The music for act 1, 2, and 3 of Star Light Zone are the same.
@@chocov1233 Sonic 3
@@chocov1233 I think he meant to say that it could have been the act 2 music if Sonic 1 had separate act music like 3 onward.
Yuzo Koshiro FTW!
That Sonic Star Light Zone music remix was so sweet.
2:59 his attempt at making American Genesis music.
Like Comix Zone and Road Rash.
Needs more grain.
That’s literally the same notes as old town Road like single lyrics to it with that music
Im so glad Sega Mini kept the core spirit of the NES and SNES mini with also having a menu theme.
I can't lie. This menu music gave me bit of tears because it's very wonderful. When I turn on the mini, I'm always greeted with one of Sonic's ost.
They nailed this track!
Maravilloso. ¡Qué gran homenaje a las melodías de nuestra infancia!
Yuzo, you did a fine job. Now get back to work on the Street of Rage 4 ost, you LEGEND!
0:00 - 0:18 is my favourite part
Man, this is a very underrated track. And it was made a for a simple system menu
2:24 gunstar heroes 💙
man i cant believe then got yuzo koshiro to do this! awesome
Who's here from the announcement of a Sega Genesis Mini 2?
I have a sega genesis mini and when The menu opens I love the music
I play one of these in the student lounge on the campus of the college I attend at times and I gotta say, this music makes this game console totally worth it.
So this is what heaven sounds like, DJ is Yuzo Koshiro too?
Seriously though, hearing real MD music created by non other than Yuzo in 2019 has got to be my highlight of the year for sure! 😍
This song is genius! Can’t stop whistling it lately. Sounds amazing with Dolby Surround encoding in 5.1.
2:06 nice landstalker town theme
So familiar and yet so new!!!
Listening to this makes me soo happy.
The Gunstar Heroes and the Comix Zone parts are my favorite parts.
As soon as Motavia Town kicks in, the feels go straight to 100
Yuzo Koshiro's Theme of Champions. :)
Somehow, the Gunstar Heroes section makes me grin from ear to ear.
Thank you Hakchi developers. Now I have the Original Gaming Trinity all hacked and ready to play on my CRT TV.

I swear, I don't know what the 4th one is from... I'll edit this comment if I find out.

Ristar or Super Fantasy Zone would be my guess
Mystery Racer super fantasy zone, I can tell cause it has some high tone to it on the fantasy zone games
(This channel's other account) Oh wow! I thought it was Rent-A-Hero. Thank you very much for the clarification!
#5 is really Landstalker's Town theme remixed.
#4 almost sounds like another Sonic game tbh
Genesis mini does what Nintendon’t
They no longer say that any more.
@@VictorGonzalez-xs9oc yeah, so?
Nintendoes what Genesisn't
Nope, that menu music makes me What Genesis do What Nintendon’t Back Again.
@Darth Vader they arent rivals anymore unless sega makes another console
I got a Genesis Mini just today and holy crap I love it so much, I'm already on the fourth zone of Sonic 2.
great
2:05 my favorite part
Big Yuzo Koshiro
Oh The Nostalgia
Great material
3:30 is that NOSTALGIC MUSIK....LOVE THE INTRO OF THENMINI
3:12 That instrument doesn't even sound like from the GEMS driver and I'm perfectly fine about that.
Comix Zone used it.
I knew the first one immediately, the others, Imagined it was from other games in Genesis that I never played. I mostly played all Sonics and Golden Axe in Genesis, I was a Kid. I didn't have money to go buy games so my library was limited.
I love that Starlight Theme
My Top 8
1. LandStalker
2. Sonic 1
3. GunStar Heroes
4. Super Fantasy Zone
5. Thunder Force 3
6. Phantasy Star 4
7. Comic Zone
8. Ecco the Dolphin
This was such a banger I thought it was from the thunder force soundtrack 😆
Thank you I was finding something like this
Best clip 0:30
01:33 : I think 4th song is Fantasy Zone Shop theme.
Fantasy Zone
2:58 catchy.
this song give me memories even if i never had one with genesis

Sega Genesis the Master System
how were you able to find this before the Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive Mini released? [pls reply]
Nice one and what is the 4th music that used in soundfont??
sorry for my bad english.
I believe it is Super Fantasy Zone!
Hmmmm i guess..
@@EspyPom I thought it was Sonic 2 based off the kick drum and bass
@@Generic___ it's lead instrument doesn't sound like any sonic 2 track I can recall...
I think it’s based off “Rent-A-Hero”, a game exclusively released in Japan and now on the Mega Drive Mini for that region.
The Sega Genesis
Do sega genesis mini 2 soundtrack
Sega all stars vs Capcom when. Imagine beating the shit out of Dan with Ecco nose bump
0:17
do you like sonic
Yes I do.
A lot.
that’s cool
