A nice rendition. However, the melody seems a little mellowed out. I'd bring the volume up just a little bit. Not too much, though.
Nice job at recreating this theme from Mega Man X5.

Finally, a mix that relies almost entirely on authentic 8-bit sounds and expands them to the next level. Great work!

"Brings back good memories."
This orchestration is absolutely beautiful. At first I thought it was going to be simply the basic chimes, flute, and choir sounds. But I was first stunned by the drums, then I was completely blown away at 0:45 seconds with the full orchestration.
Although it has a more grand vibe, it still maintains the soothing, mysterious atmosphere that the original conveyed.

This is actually a rather nice rendition of that theme. It keeps that relaxing feel of the original while staying unique.
You did have one mistake though at about 1:00 and on the corresponding part on the second loop. The note sounds off just a little bit. You sound like you're one note too high on that part.
The melody sounded a little weak at times, but overall nice job.

I tried to make the melody as loud as possible but it didn't go very loud... :(
And yes I think there are some slight mistakes that I sometimes just don't bother fixing...

I like this tune. It's just that the echo is a little too emphasized, and there are too many sounds for it to sound "authentically" 8-bit. There's generally a 4 channel rule to 8-bit music. 2 square channels, 1 triangle, and 1 noise channel.
If you want to try authentic sounding 8-bit pieces, then I suggest a program called FamiTracker, which gives you these channels to compose with.
HOWEVER, if you don't care about that, then keep up what you're doing. The tune itself is actually really good. It's just that it may be just a tad bit over echoed.
But that's my own personal opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. Do what you want to do.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I've heard before that my 8-bits have too many channels to be "authentic," and although it does get slightly under my skin, I've also created some songs that don't follow the chiptune rule with which I'm very satisfied. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you liked it.

This remix/arrangement has a very nice mix of the sounds from the game, and then adding your own twist with your own instruments and sounds.
This is, in my opinion, infinitely better than Super Smash Brawl's arrangement.

I never had the chance to play the Game Boy Mega Man games, so I'm not familiar with the music. But hey, it's got a nice feel. I can definitely see why you like the game. They way you make it sound, it almost feels like it's from a Mega Man X title, which is an interesting and fun comparison.
Although simple, it maintains the energy that is Rockman/Mega Man.
Great remastering!

Wow, thanks a lot. while i was not attempting to get the "Mega Man X" feel, I see how it does resemble it in a way.
Not to go on a tangent, but Mega Man X (the first one) was one of the games i played the most as a kid, and still stands out in my mind, both game-play-wise and musically. I may attempt to do some X remixes soon as well.
Oh yeah, thanks for the review.

I like the melody a lot, and I can see this in an RPG from the SNES era.
Well composed, is all I can say! Nothing to improve on, and I can't imagine this any differently.

This piece literally sounds colorful. I think "Explodin' Rainbow!" is a fitting title. It's upbeat and has a rather catchy melody. The sounds are balanced.
Nothing to improve on. Great piece!
