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.
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.
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
Not nes, but it is 8 bit…
The fez soundtrack, by disasterpeace.
So good
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.
- Double Dragon 2 - Final Battle 2
- Final Fantasy III - The Crystal Tower
- The Guardian Legend - Forest Fields (honestly the whole OST is amazing)
- Solstice - Title Theme
- Blaster Master - Area 3
- Mega Man 6 - Wily Fortress (seriously people are sleeping on Mega Man post 2)
- Mega Man 5 - Wily Fortress
The ending to Dragon Warrior IV

The password entry screen for Metal Gear.
Love that tune. So calming.
The game is sorta crap even though I like it, but I find The Blues Brothers NES OST very comfy.
My favorite NES “soundtrack” is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith’s fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.
