A Nintendo Keytar Meets Game of Thrones, and It's Awesome

The Super Mario world had its fun with the animated map opening of Game of Thrones, and now the show's theme song has received an eight-bit remix, courtesy of Greig Stewart, a software engineer with a passion for gaming and music. In the video below, Greig plays the show's intro music not on any ordinary keytar — which would've been cool enough, right? — he plays on a Nintendo keytar of his own creation.

At work in Greig's rendition is a still-functioning NES console, a Guitar Hero controller, a toy keyboard, and MIDI components. It's fantastically geeky, especially with the accompanying laser show.
