Let me just say this.. The games back then had little sound effects for music. That means they had to get the most distinctive beats they could think of that had to sound good while being simple. That's why most games on the NES have such loveable music. Take Bubble Bobble, CastleVania, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Double Dragon for instance. All those beats will never die and the people who made them had to rack their brains out to come up with them. Kid Icarus... c'mon.. that music is phenomal compared to any crap they give us in today's games.

Don't get me wrong. Some games today do have fantastic music... but it's not as common as it was back then.
