Nintendo A Capella

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."

It's ok...

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/ [myspace.com]. It's a lot more true to the original music; the arrangements pretty much just substitute voices for the original instruments.

someone at my college recorded his friend playing mario on a piano. it's pretty cool, check it out (only 8mb, should be fine from a slashdotting in the gaming section): Ben Plays Mario [otierney.net]

a bunch of JHU students did the same thing [mentalnotes.org] a while back.

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