Nintendo A Capella

Posted by Zonk on from the everything-good-comes-from-wisconsin dept.

Andrew writes "If you're a fan of the NES and `80s video games like me then this is too cool for words: A video of University of Wisconsin a capella ensemble Redefined performing Nintendo a capella. The file is a little large (about 47 megs) but definately worth the download."

  1. It's ok... by ALeavitt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They're ok, but the arrangements aren't that great. I like the performance art piece of it, though... especially the Tetris blocks. If you want some quality video game a capella music, though, you should check out http://www.myspace.com/buttonmashers/. It's a lot more true to the original music; the arrangements pretty much just substitute voices for the original instruments.

  3. already done by moosesocks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    a bunch of JHU students did the same thing a while back.

    And it's a lot more palatable since it's audio-only.

  4. List by Mooga · · Score: 4, Interesting
    In order for those a little too young:
    - Mario Brothers
    - Doctor Mario
    - Something from mario for just a sec. (Unsure of exactly what)
    - Tetris
    - Mortal Combate
    - Mario Dungeon Theam
    - Zelda

    It's so bad, yet soo good
