A Would-Be Great Idea: Eight Bits of Jam

Alright, this concept needs little to no explanation. Have a live band play the otherwise-chiptuned VGM that plays from your NES.

The dudes that put this video together are obviously showing off their humorous side, though they’re also demonstrating their talents as musicians in the process. That’s always a killer combo. At first I was worried it would just be all Super Mario Bros. But then they expanded to Double Dragon and Mega Man. Suddenly, life made sense and all was beautiful.

Much as I would like to have a band backing me up during my frantic gaming sessions, we all know the price point would be so astronomical that this advertised “service” could never happen. The next best thing is going to concerts like Video Games Live and PLAY! and watching those videos up on the screen while the band/orchestra does their thing. And oh, do they do it well.
