How to make Nintendocore

[@afternoonwalk6384]

If Nintendo ever starts taking Nintendocore music down, then people gotta start making Segacore, 'cause Sega still does what Nintendon't.

[@CCAndPinkie]

That genre already exists! It’s personified in the song Genesis 16:12 by The Left Rights.

[@afternoonwalk6384]

@@CCAndPinkie It makes sense that the term could be used, since not every videogame-inspired metal song has to do with the classic Nintendo aesthetic. Gonna look that song up, thanks!

[@DeamonGroup]

You are basically describing Machine Girl

[@ToaGatanuva]

Or Commodorecore (Dorecore) They aren't around to take them down

Andri: presents a genre as talentless, high effort shitposting Also Andri: makes an absolute BANGER in that style

[@Ashh602]

Lucky M7 I like your profile picture ! That’s a really good album

[@luckythedead]

@@Ashh602 Hell yeah dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Too bad very few people listen to Rise Against in my country lol

[@bareakon]

I can tell this is a genre you actually kinda like, because of how comparitively high-effort this song was.

[@SchizoMelody]

Also because it's a very formulaic genre that's easy to parody.

[@nchasz]

Shit posting is serious business

[@dromertv463]

[@quanahriddle3065]

It's sounds oddly like mgr's music. Most notably mistral's boss theme.

[@alienfortytwo]

This song unironically gave me chills, I guess it's time to get back into nintendocore.

[@alienfortytwo]

And of those bands mentioned I really really love math the band

[@corekidfrom9700]

Me too! It's been a long time since I didn't listen any Nintendocore songs.. like 2 years at least. But as you said : It's time

[@K0sm1cKid]

If you want a good start some of my favorites are: Starcutter, Heptaedium, Unicorn Hole, She wants the D-Pad, Polygon Horizon, A Challenger Approaches, etc. There's a small but tight nit community of nintendocore artists to this day that releases a lot of cool music. 🙂

A few years ago, I had a hipster friend who was trying to become a nintendocore DJ and producer. I always thought the genre was basically something from his imagination, but apparently, it's a real genre, and it slaps fucking hard.

[@DanPantzig]

Once again the satire is so much better than the actual genre. 13/10, would recommend, please insert coin to continue.

[@nickkohlmann]

Yes.

Andri, you realize this is going to singlehandedly bring this genre back, right? Like, just how hundreds of people who probably never knew about Noisecore know it now because of you. Also, obligatory genre suggestion, Emoviolence.

[@SoulSecureOfficial]

I've actually noticed a recent sort of surge in interest in this genre already before this.

[@K0sm1cKid]

@@SoulSecureOfficial that is really cool! Where have you seen a surge in nintendocore interest?

[@SoulSecureOfficial]

@@K0sm1cKid It's more of a general subtle thing that I'm seeing as I surf the internet. But this vid could kick it off. Check it m.soundcloud.com/rahmemhotep/cloud-cutting I know that I have recently have had a sudden urge to be listening to Ncore and then this dude made a vid and a bunch of people are commenting positively like this was already in the works. I don't know, but I'm already writing songs. I know you were on Ncore lives, maybe the time is coming for a revival of sorts lol.

[@videogamebomer]

It got me interested in the genre

I’ve been getting into nintendocore recently and it’s one of my favorite genres, maybe one day if I get the motivation and I’m still interested in it I’ll make my own XD

legit speachless with the song, I want so hard to see you doing a ''how to make metalcore'' video just to see you playing another song from the genre

I came here for a quick laugh, and you hit me with a song that ABSOLUTELY SLAPS!!! I don't know what inspired you to go this hard, but I've got goosebumps my dude!

[@Pagefire]

The goal was to make the best Nintendocore song over all the other Nintendocore bands. Then see if I could resurrect a dead genre my making the song better than my previous work. That was one of the goals, I think I got lost on the way. - Andri

[@gigleorex]

@@Pagefire You're pretty proud of yourself, huh? You showed some N-Core Lives album covers but didn't play anything from them because it's all as good as or better than your song. We'd be happy to have you, but don't act like we need you. :p

Shit man, I'd been making Nintendocore for years, and you learned about NxC in the course of a month or so and made a Nintendocore song better than I ever had. Was also real happy to see an album I was a part of in here (I am Proto Buster, and had a track on the N-Core Lives' Super Smash Bros compilation album)

[@Waggz74]

Never heard of you honestly - but this song came up on my spotify recommended playlist and it's AMAZING! Wow... never even heard of nintendocore but this was funny. And your idea of a meme song destroys all the other serious bands trying to do this. Keep it up Andri.

Doing so would give you and Andreas more focused showcases for your respective content, and likely improve subscriber retention. Thanks for enriching our online lives.

Having a background in grindcore, metalcore and being a chipbreak dj I never liked nintedocore but I must admit that a talented musician can make a track in any genre that even a picky person like me will love. This is the case ♥️
