Nintendo is a pop-culture powerhouse. They’ve been the undisputed kings of video-gaming for almost 40 years, and their properties have been adapted into movies, TV shows, card games – you name it. One territory that the home of Mario and Zelda should never venture into again, however, is music.
For starters, Nintendo are responsible for a Legend Of Zelda rap that cursed Japanese television in the ’80s. But that’s a story for another day.
