There’s something profoundly relaxing and sound-bathic about it, spesh with a low pass filter or filtering out all the treble.
The House song from Mother 1 is amazing and so is the rest of the album in this light
Try it; I double-dare you
Unchained Melody from 9999 in 1 cartridges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9HYL21d8gQ
Ninja Gaiden!
Duck Tails. Nothing beats that moon theme.
Look up Daniel Tidwell vs video games. He did a rock version of this. They also used it in the new Ducktales cartoons.
This immediately started playing in my head when I read the question.
Final Fantasy.
Not nes, but it is 8 bit…

So good
This might be a weird, obscure game, I think, but I LOVE the Act 1 Part 1 song from Totally Rad and Act 1 Part 2 is my second favorite NES tune. The whole OST is just fire.

The game started as a sort of jrpg sidescroller, but it got… butchered from “Americanizing”. Still gnarly, though (heh).
Also, honorable mention, all the music from The Guardian Legend. All of it. I love that game so much.

One of the best songs - https://youtu.be/W2q0aIql0Qw
Oh shit, and this one (sorry, I’m like a kid in a candy shop trying to pick my favorite when it comes to NES) - https://youtu.be/o_VzSKgTye0
NES Deja Vu, great music for the puzzle solving.
Nice! Wandering and Awakening in particular
Great game! I had forgotten about it.

An orchestral remix, I believe rendered with some MIDI synth; the artist here appears to have done two CDs:

Thanks for doing the leg work! So many memories!
That Super Mario Bros 2 - Game End lullaby is perfect.
When I first beat it as a kid, I just sat there for 10 minutes listening. This song has permanent resistance in my head.
I like to vibe to certain tracks from the Mega Man series.
I remember enjoying a lot of the Mega Man music. But also the theme for the first area in Crystalis has stuck with me for ages.

Assuming that this is the cave, which it sounds like from this walkthrough:

I was referring to the field outside of the first town: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDsUFjkz7LY
It’s been awhile, but my first thought was Kirby
Was my first thought too but I didn’t play Kirby til the SNES. Same difference tho
My mom used to use the fishing song from The Black Bass to put me to sleep. Many moons later, I still find it soothing. https://youtu.be/6DDffBpWfnk?t=03m15s
I’d never heard this but now it’s stuck in my head lol
Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme

EDIT: Someone also apparently sequenced it with newer samples:

Thanks for doing all these links :D excellent work
It has no business being that good
Lmao wth. Was not expecting a bump from Pictionary. This is so good.
If you think thats good, listen to this shit
Oh hell yeah. I’ll take Solstice any day. What a legendary game. One of the best platform-puzzle titles for it’s time. You just can’t understand it until you play it.
I never had the manual, so it was confusing as hell for a while. Most stories for NES games came from the manual. NES manuals were half guides, half prologue novels.
You play this song and I will instantly know where its from - https://youtu.be/N3YrrUtQ7-g
The game is sorta crap even though I like it, but I find The Blues Brothers NES OST very comfy.
Track 2! Haha thanks.
The ending to Dragon Warrior IV
