Nintendocore

everything about Nintendocore, including emotronic, nintendgrind, 8-bit, trancecore, electronicore,nerdcore...

Nintendocore，一个匪夷所思的名字，如果把它拆开为Nintendo－Core，相信一些资深的电视游戏玩家会有所醒悟，是的，你没看错, Nintendo就是指任天堂公司的Nintendo Entertainment System，也就是大家常讲的红白机；魂斗罗，沙罗曼蛇，超级马丽，坦克大战，冒险岛.....这都是八十后们耳熟能详的名字。而Nintendo在这里的意思就是，在演奏中，用键盘或者电脑模拟出红白机的音乐效果。由于红白机的中央处理器是8比特的，所以人们有时也称之为8-Bit（目前也出现了16－Bit）.

For a period of time in the early 00s, the term actually referred to simultaneously to bands that played covers of Nintendo music with rock instrumentation, probably in reference to the term casiocore, and to bands like HORSE The Band that used analog, analog modeling, or ROMpler synthesizers to create simple waveforms that reminded people of video game sounds within a metalcore or post-hardcore context, but the term was eventually adopted by certain scenesters and incompetents who play melodic metalcore to refer only to the latter

However, no band is truly nintendocore. What people view as nintendocore is mostly melodic metalcore / post-hardcore with heavy electronic elements such as 8-bit midi synth.
