Nintendocore
April 2, 2006Nintendocore. As much as I enjoyed playing those cool nintendo games years ago (actually, I still do), I’d have to say that it’s kind of a dorky name for a musical genre…
“Nintendocore” (lets just put quotes on the thing… it just seems right) music centers around - you guessed it - video game music! Super Mario, Castlevania, Contra, Zelda… you name it, and if it came out on Nintendo, “Nintendocore” bands cover it.
I was listening to a certain “Nintendocore” band called The Advantage when I realized that if done right, this kind of music can become both sentimental and cool at the same time… dorky cool.
Hehe.
The Advantage have two albums out:
The Advantage (2004)
Elf-Titled (2006)
Check out the track lists! The song titles in themselves are fun to reminice on!
