I love it when people try and cover old video game and anime music, especially when they put a little bit of their own spin on things. Below I’m going to share some of my favorites, and you can too!
Super Castlevania IV by Charlie Parra Del Riego
Japanese DBZ Theme also by Charlie Parra Del Riego
Pokemon Theme by Power Glove
Contra Theme covered by Vomitron
There are definitely more that I like, but I’ll start off with these few, plus mine seem to mostly be limited to metal covers.
Here’s one that isn’t metal, and is even played on the violin.
I too love it when people do covers of video game and anime music…
Metal Gear Solid 2 theme on violin!
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - Dragon Roost Island on guitar and Ocarina
How about that, tykes? I was just about to make a soundtrack thread, and I see this. I love the covers/remixes of others. Makes my favorite songs even better, like these here…

The MGS music is so amazing, I have a friend who uses the MGS3 theme song as his ring tone.
Personally, I use the original version from the PSX as my ring tone:
I think I have at least 4 versions of this song on my computer.
You’re making me want to buy a bluetooth dongle for my computer, so that I can comfortably play Wind Waker on my TV from my computer! (I use a PS3 controller instead of a 360 controller on my computer.)

Boy, if you were single you’d just tear this sh*t up wouldn’t you?
It’s a shame this band split up, but they did do this Oblivion cover before they did.

Timber has a wide interest in music he considers rather sad, so dont look at me if you happen to be bawling your eyes out from a moving tune, lol…
Just found this one in the Related vids. I enjoy a few of his guitar covers. Haven’t heard them all yet… (tykes…)
Here’s a song based off of Mass Effect 1&2, dedicated to awesomeness that is Commander Shepard.
Btw, fuck off, this is going here.
This song is just so God damn sweet.
Neon Genesis Evangelion end theme
A gaming parody of Bobby Goldsboro’s song ‘Watching Scotty Grow’.
Disturbing video but it is about the song after all.
When it comes to Video Game covers, FamilyJules7X is one of my favorites. Definitely check him out if you’re in to that kind of stuff 
♫ “Keep Moving Up” - Sword Art Online Parody of Panic! at the Disco ♫
Not the most perfect vocals but a nice effort. The song this is taken from is Panic at the Disco - This Is Gospel.
