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
Duck Tails. Nothing beats that moon theme.
This immediately started playing in my head when I read the question.

Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme
It has no business being that good

EDIT: Someone also apparently sequenced it with newer samples:

Thanks for doing all these links :D excellent work
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
Not nes, but it is 8 bit…
The fez soundtrack, by disasterpeace.
Saved
So good
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
Final Fantasy.
The title track from Shadowgate is awesome.
If you’re into nixing the treble, Super Glove Ball’s whole soundtrack goes bass only when you pause the game.
SNES recommendation: Super R type has a killer soundtrack.

I’m guessing that this is paused.

MIDI-sequenced remaster from some project to create MIDI versions of SNES music:

I’ll do a MIDI render for the heck of it as well to illustrate for anyone else who might have an interest in doing MIDI renders of NES audio tracks.
MIDI render walkthrough
Starting from the
eb0_mother_livehousesong.midMIDI-sequenced version here:https://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/
Use MIDI soundfont Musyng Kite (a more-realistic, not-very-synthy soundfont; there will be ones that’ll be closer to the NES, but this will have the non-synth instruments sound more-realistic) converted to .sf2.
Use TiMidity++ to render to a WAVE file (could just play it directly, too, but I want to upload it):
$ timidity --volume-compensation --anti-alias -in -D10 -S20M -OsS -c ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg -EFresamp=L -EFreverb -EFvlpf -EFchorus=s -EFdelay -EFns -Ow -o eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav $ cat ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg soundfont "/home/tal/m/sw/sf2/Musyng_Kite.sf2" $Convert to Opus-encoded WebM, as Lemmy will accept inline WebM:
$ ffmpeg -i eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav -vcodec vnull -acodec libopus eb0_mother_livehousesong.webmAnd then uploading to catbox.moe.
Referencing the video in a spoiler tag, because I don’t know of an audio-only format that Lemmy is okay with, and the Lemmy Web UI tries making a large video player for WebM:

Chrono Trigger - Main Theme
Castlevania II - Simon’s Quest - Town at Daytime
Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man Stage
Super Mario Bros 2 - Game End
River City Ransom - Menu/Shop Theme
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.

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!
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
Solstice.
This is so cheeky. He starts off with the most generic NES music imaginable then proceeds to simply obliterate its soundchip.
Spot on. 🤘
Composer put out straight fire on this one
Apparently the Solstice music was done by one Tim Follin, who also did the Pictionary music that was also mentioned here.
EDIT:
Since you specified NES, og Zelda and Maniac Mansion
I prefer the c64 maniac mansion theme : https://youtu.be/x7wehz9qKVo
