8-bit, 16-bit, Chiptune, Nintendocore/Video Game Cover bands

I'm somewhat new to this genre, so I'll start the thread of out with some of the stuff I've heard so far.

Anamanaguchi (From the Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ4CaHqR4XI

Bit Shifter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAAZ0ue80B4

Animal Style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aOWw2OXmlw

So does anybody else here have any bands they'd like to suggest?

EDIT:

Thank you woozerkristen for cleaning up the thread. I've added cover to the title so there can be 20% less smartass remarks. Now please continue the real discussion of music related to the title. Now I'm going back to Dragonball.

What an amazing band. Saw them live twice. Good stuff, I would definitely recommend them.[/url]

Wow thanks for the huge list of suggestions thecaptainof. I definitely have some music to check out later on tonight.

And for more Anamanaguchi go to http://www.anamanaguchi.com/singles for more stuff. During this summer they have been releasing a new single every 2 weeks and it's available for download and streaming for free on the site.

Silly of me not to mention Horse The Band too, particularly as it was their singer who actually invented the term 'Nintendocore'. But yeah, that list was just the ones from my Myspace friends and iPod :P

And any suggestions for original 8-bit video game soundtracks? And games in particular that are worth a listen to?

Edit: Its also worth mentioning that to somebody not into this type of music, Powerglove could easily be mistaken for a Nintendocore/etc. band.

Now, I have no recommendations myself but wanna say thanks for all the stuff posted so far. It's brilliant and I've spend the last few hours listening to loads of stuff.

Are there any charts for this stuff, it would be fun to play xD

Ok, the off-topic stuff -- and ensuing argument about mentions of bands not technically in this genre -- have been removed now.

Please, if you find someone posting something here that you feel does not belong, please just report it. There's no reason to jump all over them. In this case, it looked like an honest misunderstanding of what defines the genre mentioned in the OP. If you absolutely must say something, particularly if it is clarification future posters may find helpful, try to say it in a tactful way.

Thanks and carry on.

How did this thread go more than 2 posts without the mention of Powerglove?

And for fun... CRUSH... THE FUCKING BUNNIES!

Heh, okay. Since you've changed the title an' all, I guess I have no further input apart from The Black Mages. I'm not really a fan, but they're relevant. Wikipedia or Youtube the name if you're not familiar.

Has anyone noticed how the battle music during pokemon battles on leaf green & fire red has been given the St.Anger snare treatment

it sticks out like a sore thumb

Is dubstep / drum n bass relevant? Just askin.... I do like those.

But I do love 8-bit and 16-bit music, especially remakes of good songs and especially metal

Anamanaguchi and Sabrepulse already mentioned? Cool, saves me some work. Also, for anyone who doesn't know, Anamanaguchi's first album was free as well. You can find it here. Also, Scott Pilgrim's OST is probably one of the best game soundtracks I've heard in a while.
