MegaDriver is a Brazilian metal band renowned for their instrumental hard rock and heavy metal renditions of classic video game music, embodying a niche genre known as "Nintendocore" or "gamemetal." Founded by lead guitarist and composer Antonio "Nino" MegaDriver in São Paulo around the early 2000s, the band has carved a unique place in the music world by resonating with both gamers and metal enthusiasts alike. They perform music that's heavily influenced by iconic video game soundtracks, melding the nostalgia of 8-bit and 16-bit era gaming with the aggressive sounds of electric guitars, bass, and drums.

MegaDriver has earned a loyal following through a discography that illustrates their passion for video games and heavy metal. Albums like "Super Saiyan Metal, Vol. 1," inspired by the "Dragon Ball" universe, and "Heavy Man X," a tribute to the "Mega Man X" series, showcase their commitment to high-energy interpretations of beloved gaming melodies. Their works such as "Metalvania," take listeners on a headbanging journey through the dark corridors of the "Castlevania" series, while "Rise from Your Grave" resurrects the spirit of the "Altered Beast" arcade classic. The band is not only appreciated for their studio recordings but also for their dynamic live performances, which often feature them clad in video game-themed attire, further bridging the gap between the gaming culture and the metal community.
