• Longest Song on the NES
    9 replies, posted
I've noticed that most songs from games on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) tend to be extremely short (less than one minute long), probably due to space constraints. Because I've noticed this, and also because I'm totally nuts, I'm currently in search of the [i]longest[/i] song from any [b]licensed[/b] (this is important) NES game. In my search, the longest song I've found so far is the title them from Magician. At three minutes and 24 seconds, it is longer than any other NES song I've heard. Now don't go and try telling me that it's actually three minutes and [i]26[/i] seconds, just because the video that follows is that long. The end of the song is clearly at the 3:24 mark. This is also how long it is when you play the song using a NSF player. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccjPrFzb_r0[/media] tl;dr, this is the longest [i]I've[/i] discovered. If anyone can find a longer song from a licensed NES game, be my guest.
This song is actually pretty awesome.
If I recall, the moon level theme on Duck Tales is quite long. Although I don't think it's anywhere near as long as the song in the OP.

Duck Tales 2's much-under-appreciated Egypt theme, however, is 1 minute and 8 seconds long.
