Dude, you rocked so hard that they rereleased the game!

We've summoned Journey to Silius back into existence!

Always wondered why despite the amazing music my friend and I were the only ones that knew of this gem, seeing it on the nintendo switch I played it for hours, nice to see it getting recognition ^.^

Rerelease the game? What? Where? I can't Google it :/

@Olagfigh Its on the NES collection on the switch

The best part of title theme covers is the riveting gameplay

Silius is the only NES game I've straight-up downloaded the soundtrack for, on account of it being genuinely incredible. You've done my favorite NES OST serious justice, Jonny, you fucking boss.

UnbornDecay

It was due to Johnny that I learned of this game. It was due to Sunsoft that I love it. Thank you so much Johnny for one of my favorite NES games. EVER.

GaMetal

4y↑7

UnbornDecay so glad it was released on the switch online stuff!

UnbornDecay

@GaMetal Hell yeah, man. Screw it, this deserves me going out and buying both an NES and a physical copy, it woulda been worth it.

GaMetal

"Prologue" from Journey to Silius also appears on the GaMetal album as the intro track. This played during the opening cinematic of the Project One Reveal Trailer.

Hang tight cause I have another song on the way for you tomorrow!

Way to use the ~~outdated~~ Smash 4 Marth artwork when the Ultimate artwork is right there in front of you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Jonny.

On the topic of Ultimate; where and when would I need to go if I wanted to issue you a challenge?

GaMetal

4y↑11

@Parapsyche You seem to be implying that the end card silhouette is this "Marth" character and not Mario

White Crescent Rozie

@GaMetal Yeah it's not Marth!

It's Lucina!

@GaMetal Fair, very fair. #ItCouldAlwaysBeMario

Tbh I feel like the Fire Emblem series has some real gems in its soundtrack. Hopefully with 3H being as successful as it has been, more people will discover the awesome tunes of the series. Speaking of which, I’m still going to request FE6’s “In the Name of Bern” for after the project is completed.

This is still, to this day, one of the very best soundtracks ever composed for a game !
Thanks for the awesome cover :D

Joe DiNoto

WOW! Every now and then I get this theme stuck in my head, memories from a time long ago - and today I found your video absolutely and completely ROCKING it! Fantastic remix, and super impressive that you played all the instruments. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this, definitely subscribing and looking forward to seeing what other music you have remixed!

XDarket

Man, I never played the game but came across the soundtrack. It's so awesome for a nes game. It was epic.

cloudcrab

Dude this is exactly what I was looking for!!! I lived the original song but thought to myself, wouldn't this be totally rockin with some more juice, and that's exactly what you did! Great work!

Flips_Bad

This game has a better soundtrack than it honestly deserves. Holy heck why is it so good?

Absolutely awesome! Best game soundtrack ever. Best metal version ever!

A GaMetal remix of the Gym leader music would be 🤩.

The transition is perfect 👌

This game's soundtrack is a great counterexample to the point sometimes made that the NES can't do huge-sounding drums without an addon chip. Sunsoft knew how to get the absolute most out of the noise and triangle channels, man.

Qyron

One of my favorites as a kid, awesome.

DeadRaymanWalking

Rock on! This is my favorite Sunsoft game music! I have to admit they did some kickass music for their NES games, and Journey to Silius had some top notch songs!

Thennecan

Holy SHIT dude, I love this game's ost, It's quite hard to find covers from it and you absolutely DESTROYED it in the best way possible. <3

Jayson

The Title theme. I love it. 🤩

Plutonio

Awesome remix for an awesome game this made me want to replay it !

Hanegawa Midori

This is raw, and just the right synth for it. I'd love to hear you do some love for the final boss of Blaster Master.

I've been waiting for this for so long now... And it was entirely worth the wait!

Jon Svarthök

More than two years since the video was posted, and only 40 000 plus views. It should be more. Alot more. The video is amazing!

4y↑1

Fantastic work as always!

I hope when this series is finished, you consider covering some Kingdom Hearts music! It has some of the best OST’s in gaming but is criminally under represented in the realm of good covers.

My suggestion this time is Dark Impetus, from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep!

RJ B.

Been WAITING for someone to cover this song and who better than YOU! :D Great job again, Jonny! Keep up the amazing freagin' music! No joke though, this stuff is great to work out to. Anyone reading this should try.

RDeskent

This is just next level awesomeness! Thank you for it Jonny!

Milan Malfait

DAMN!!! I completely forgot I wanted a cover of this game!

Noah Loyd

I don't know how I missed this one, but here you've covered one of my favorite videogame soundtracks ever. Can't wait for the album! If you ever find time to listen to the stage one theme from Raptor: Call of the Shadows, and feel an urge to cover it... I would not say no.

Happymonday

Damn I haven't even played the game but this is just amazing.

Juan Paolo Mejia

Good lord. Hope you'll be in charge of the soundtrack if someone wants this remade ❤

DarkShadowRage

Yo Johnny I hope you do Stage 3 of Silius cause that song is killer.

I'm loving the remaster of this, more than that! I ADORE it! Fantastic cover, dude!

...Marth? Is that you?

Darkaileron

I still sometimes stall the game on stage 1 to listen to this one. Feels like the track was written for you to play. Nice stuff, man!

hirschlord

Iconic melodies 👍🏻

Roy

ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT 🤘 one of my favorite games on NES simply for the music and to hear this is just bloody great!!! Keep making this quality stuff man!

Dixie Chix

4y↑7

Oh shit, this is really, really nice; the instrumentation here is absolutely great, and I really like that you're trying something new with the instrument choices too

Also finally you're using a different tom sound as well, it was about time ;P

Really loving the dynamic visuals as well :D

Guanvro

Ugh, why did you tease us so badly with that Acoustic version of Stage 2? You gotta release a full version of it now!

ExiaElite

This game had an absolutely killer soundtrack. I've been following you for years and had no idea you had a cover from it. This is so awesome!

Mikey

I'm 32 and I have no idea how this game flew under my radar for so long. I think I MIGHT have seen it advertised WAY back in one of my uncles old gaming magazines. I just played it a few days ago for the first time on my brothers emulator station and this theme instantly got me hooked. The music absolutely slaps this was a good game.

ExiaElite

@Mikey my parents bought it at a flea market in the early 90s. Just one of those random games you buy and try. I was instantly hooked by the soundtrack. This game could've been much more widely known, as it started life as a terminator game. Sunsoft lost the license for it, so they patched together the game as it shipped without the movie references. You can still see some of the influence, though

Mikey

@ExiaElite I had no idea this was originally slated to be a Terminator game, but yeah I can definitely see the influences now. See, I played the Batman game Sun Soft did and that soundtrack is amazing too.

ExiaElite

2y↑1

@Mikey from the comments on another video on YT featuring the whole soundtrack, apparently sunsoft used different methods of mixing and tracking that led to their unique sound. I'm no sound engineer but that's what I took away from it. Mix that with excellent composition and both batman and journey end up on many "best of" NES music lists.

Chuck Alexander

Best soundtrack of the NES and this cover fucking rocked it 🤘🤘

My Cabbages!

This is my favorite nes soundtrack. Dat sunsoft bass!

Jonny, I have a rather... obscure request. I want "It's Pizza Time!" from Pizza Tower. You make any OST godlike, and I'd like to see you tackle this diamond in the rough!

White Crescent Rozie

And another hit from Jonny Atma! And seven more tracks to go!

Edit: MARTH!!! TOGETHER WE RIDE!!!! AAAAAAAAAA

Hey Jonny. As always, another great performance. Got any plans to do anything from the Ys series? I'd recommend 8, specifically the boss theme. It's beastly.

@ProtoBusterSword Except that Sirius happens to be the name of a star system, so...

Except that the Japanese title is Raf's World.

NO WAY! Finally this track got some love!

Oh man, this is a fucking CLASSIC. I'm so glad you did this one!
So glad I'm not even gonna make a request for the next one!

I've been around musicians for over 15 years but you are one of the best I've ever ssen

Leandro Ornelas

Wonderful!!!!!😃

Gherit1

Shout-out to NESCardinality on Twitch for introducing me to this track. He plays this song between games, breaks or after he kicks some rear playing Dragon Quest 1 randomizer races. Darthbear-B is delighted. =D

You must have had fun with that double bass fills that sunsoft trademarked. \m/

Professor Penne

awesome cover for an awesome game

Most like Together We Ride coming next, but I’d be in heaven if it was Dark Emperor Hardin or Clash of Two Virtues

BallerSwagBro9K

Been waiting for Ride for so long tho

otakon17

I hope for Ride.

Jayson

Together we ride is so overrated. That's coming from a Fire Emblem fan.

Pikmaniac

4y↑4

Jayson it’s definitely one of the most used themes, and was basically the first FE track introduced into Smash Bros (though it was just titled “Fire Emblem” in Melee), but I agree that for a fan of the series who has heard it plenty of times, there are better themes to cover. The premium arrange made that clear.

EmblemBlade9

See this is why we need another FE1/3 remake, because its actually good shit!

SONICX1027

It’s strange that I was waiting for this after the trailer. I totally want to head bang to this too

HaxHaunter

Sunsoft, please, we need a remake of this gem, just like how you remade Blaster Master

Rubberman202

Apparently Journey to Silius was originally going to be a Terminator game, but Sunsoft lost the license so they altered the in-game graphics and story to make it something completely different.

I actually kind of like that, even if it is essentially taking a pre-existing idea and shaving off aspects of the source material to make it more "original"... then again, any idea nowadays is at least somewhat derivative of something else.

St0rmT0rnad0

Awesome.

Waynetastic

The soundtrack for Journey to Silus should not be this good.
Yet, it doesn't care what you think, and blasts the most epic music that could ever be in an NES game.

Rockslam X

Very Nice!

Memorable Man

This theme makes me want to grab a fucking plasma gun or something and just run around kicking ass saving the universe!

VicZilla24 Dreamer

"Journey to Silius" aka "That Terminator Game that lost its license mid-development."

Also the one that ended up much better than the actual Terminator game we got.

THE GAME OUTGREW IT!

Imp Twins

Jonny it occurred to me today that either you or Richaad need to team up with Caleb and do the credits theme from God Hand. It needs to be done. THE UNIVERSE REQUIRES IT. And now I will become one of those annoying people who leave the same comment with the same request on every video. It's been swell while I still had free thought but I have a higher calling now.

Archie Aullikan

You are underappreciated.

Valentor .2

Hell year! Raf World had good ost.

Grr Maker

I gotta ask, is this on itunes yet?

GaMetal

Unfortunately, because Journey to Silius lacks an official OST release in the US (or, as far as I know, anywhere for that matter), we can't obtain a mechanical license to distribute any songs from it. :/

Grr Maker

@GaMetal Oh, makes sense, still unfortunate though. But hey, this is cover so good, just know that I would definitely buy it.

Rico Amor Davila

Damn that's corny. I love it 😂

Question.
I have been doing these "Transmission bursts" for the last two challenger approaching end cards in this "rebooted" GaMetal universe. Should I continue this trend (right now there's "radio silence") or should I quit while I'm ahead?
