Ninja gaiden III ending theme
by on (#39079)
I played Ninja Gaiden III to the end, and there is something weird about the ending theme (track 23).
My subconsiousness tells me I've already heard that song, but I really can't remember where. Is that song a cover of another song ?

That could be a possibility.

The first Ninja Gaiden has a song that resembles "A Time For Us."

The song sounds a little like some early/mid 80s song, whose title I don't know... some pop or new-wave song. Sorry I can't help out more than that.

sounds like music from one of the newer Zeldas

Well, thank I now remember ! I head it in a version of RPG maked, who stealed music from various games.

On a related note, one day I stumbled onto an old song on the radio that sounded just like track 9 from Uninvited (I think what it's playing when you come up behind that fancy-dressed dead lady).

Anyone know what song that is? I ripped that NSF and it bugs me a little bit to not know.

Maybe it's just a cover the programmers hidden for trivia, or else the composer would simply have been inspired by that song.

Oh, so it's like the theme from TV's 3-2-1 Contact hidden in "Chill" from Dr. Mario. Compare Chill to 0:13 through 0:21 of Contact.

Oh my gosh! I remember seeing that, like, in 3rd grade & thinking that sounds familiar. :?

Then, playing Dr. Mario years later, I'm like, didn't they steal this from something? :?

Glad to see someone else noticed. :)
