    I recently found out about people doing 8-bit remixes of songs by way of Youtube & though a huge amount of people *cough*n00bs*cough* keep on stupidly commenting on the videos that they hate the remix because it sounds Mario, ergo NES (no d'uh!?), I find that I like these remixes because they do sound like the NES ;)

    Here are a few of the very good ones:

    8-Bit Tunes: Peter Schilling - Major Tom

    OMD - Enola Gay (8-Bit Version)

    8-Bit Tunes: Depeche Mode - Black Celebration

    Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirit (8-Bit Remix)

    Nex is right, they all sound like shit.

    This isn't NES like music, it's like Master System/Genesis music. Fuck it sucks.

    Nirvana is easily the worse, Daft Punk sounds like a Gameboy game,

    The rest are just annoying because they sound so repetitive.

    In fairness, nostalgia is the primary appeal to reduced-bit music.

    Now here's a motherfuckin chiptune. It's not a remix, because reducing intentionally complex dynamic textures to minimized melodies comprised of saw, sine, and square soundwaves is an inherent waste of time and effort.

    Those ones that Cahos posted are, with the possible exception of the Daft Punk one, just MIDIs put through an old sequencer program thing. Gimme two minutes and I could make one for nearly any song you could care to name.

    I fucking love keygen music.

    Agreed, but I was advertised 8-bit music, not 4-bit.

    Awesome.
