    i know there was already a thread about this but it's deep down there somewhere, i can think of some more...

    the metal band Children of Bodom has some keyboard solos that sound Nintendo-ish... not really a fan of them, their songs tend to get repetitive, but the keyboards do sound cool

    The Birthday Massacre, a female-fronted goth band from Canada... they also have symphonic keyboards that at times sound like the music of Zelda or Final Fantasy

              there was this boston local band that did a hard rock/punkish song called 8-bit heaven

              also...aphex twin mixed mario bro sound effects into the NiN song "closer"

              aphex twin didn a couple video game mixes...including the awesome pac man techno...power pill mix. 8)

              thats all i can think of, excluding any OC remix.

                      i checked out the advantage web site it confused me :oops:

                      ps if you want a good group i sugest the group game over www.nintendometal.com two of there songs are there for download but the link to little macs confession is broke witch sucks because it is one of the best punch out remixs i ever heard compete with lyrics.

                        LOL! Your right! I just checked it out as well.

                        My brother ripped em off limewire for me awhile ago so maybe you should try there if you can't find anything by them. :idea:

                        EDIT: Thanks for the link, dude! Always cool to have someone to exchange NES cover band song information with. :wink:

                                      There's a remix of Beck's E-Pro full of Game Boy noises. It's side B of the E-Pro single 45 rpm record.
