    Were hitting back again on the revamp with another Sunsoft gem, because they are the company that gave us a golden era of great music, so here comes Batman: Return of the Joker! Sunsoft making a great decision to use the Batman license while they could, making this game more in line with the Batman comic book at the time and being self contained. Praised as the one of the best looking games on the NES, the sprites, animations and overall graphics make this one of the most impressive and hardware pushing games, while also remaining a tightly controlled and fun game to play! But of course, we are all here because of the fantastic soundtrack from the full sound team of Sunsoft! Kodaka pushing more fantastic tunes that stack up to the first game, with Hara & Seya implementing some of the best sounds to the Sunsoft Bass created by Morota, this soundtrack is always worth pulling up and listening to, with catchy melodies and the most badass bass ever, Sunsoft really made the NES the best it can be!

    18:20 such a rewarding ending theme…I remember when I finally beat this game I stood up and just stared at the screen like I’ve been thru a war. Such a bad ass game.
  • @canal_welcome
    This Soundtrack is incredible, it represents the '' Golden Age '' of Sunsoft, which certainly was on the NES, I have no doubt about it! Listen to that melody. It's wonderful! One of the best Batman games, and one of the best graphics and music for the NES. Sunsoft had a "magic team" at the company! Edit: Thank you Niko, for making this soundtrack again! Hugs here from Brazil! ;-)

    NES version sounds better then Genesis/Mega Drive version.
  • @bastian_anibal
    As a person who grove up as kid in the 90s with NES i can confirm that Sunsoft, Taito and Softel really made nes games with amazing graphic and music, even though Ultra Games, Capcom and Konami was way ahead of this other company and more famous There is something with Sunsoft and Taito that i feelt was amazing.
  • @pjm91788
    This takes me back to when i first played Return of the joker. The music just gives you that drive and determination to beat it lol. This entire soundtrack and game will forever be a part of me.
  • @VGReader
    That stage 1 theme is just so freakin good man!
  • To this day, I still can’t imagine the Title Screen theme of this game without also hearing Mike Matei Joker laughing next to a tied up James Rolfe Batman.
  • @Sean-ni4qy
    That boss theme brings back some trauma! great job thank you
  • @bilyeskualo8909

  • @Chadius
    Oooo you added the "Gold Batman" boss power up SFX! I loved Sunsoft's extra touches on the Batman universe.
  • @joshdillon9637
    This game feels like they started out making something else, then decided to throw the Batman license that they had from Batman: The Video Game on it. Don't get me wrong, this game is great and it's a lot of fun, but it doesn't feel like a Batman game. That being said, the music is top notch and the Niko treatment makes it even better.
