Have you guys noticed how 8bit/pixelated style have been getting really popular lately? And I don’t mean only in good retro games, as Contra Rebirth and Megaman 8 and 9 to name just a few, but even non related to videogames materal, like all rappers/hypsers and even the Black Eyed Peas videoclips, are taking advantage of this hype. Despite those lousy mash ups, the 8bit fad had also presented us with good outcomes. We present here a selection of some of the coolest 8bit inspired videos.

Don’t forge the “8-BIT Waterslide in REAL LIFE” video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYVazguJCY )! It serves as a great example of how the “Pixel Culture” can also be used in actual recreation through paper and other physical objects.
Generally speaking, there is a very overrated retro-pixel-hype going on (check out the huge quantity of “8-bit remakes”), most likely due to the fact of video game dissipation through mainstream media.
However, as you also noted, there have been a few outcomes. My compliments go to Junior Senior for making one of the coolest music video clips ever and “back in” 2003 when the pixel hype was yet to be born.
