Nintendocore 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 was jokingly coined by Nathan Winneke, lead singer of HORSE the band. A similar term, "Nintendo metal", has been applied to English power metal band DragonForce, because their music is often seen as "nerdy".
