Nintendocore, also known as Gamecore and Ataricore is a genre of music inspired by the music or soundtracks which accompany 8-bit video games, most notably those on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is characterized by the intensity of metalcore music joined with keyboard parts that sound similar to 8-bit video game music but is occasionally remixed techno variations of old NES video game themes. The term Nintendocore was jokingly coined by Nathan Winneke, lead singer of HORSE the band.

Nintendocore bands

Other Nintendo Fusion

San Fransisco's Karate High School fuses the sounds of Nintendo with a more screamo and pop punk influence, rather than a metalcore sound.

Although not strictly Nintendo, Aphex Twin released a hardcore-esque single in 1993 using sounds from the original Pac-Man.

Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Afore Notation creates unique videogame-esque melodies (with the guitar as the main source and keyboard simply as support) fused with post hardcore, apparently getting no ideas from other Nintendocore bands, running mainly on personal passions for videogames (specifically console role-playing games), their soundtracks, and a unyielding pursuit for creative music. Their range from 8-bit sounds to modern-day orchestrated pieces of Nobuo Uematsu fame, very roughly qualify them for this genre, without any other genre to fall into.
