Holiday Chip Music: Have Yourself A Merry 8-Bit Jesus

Apologies to our Christian readers if you take offense to the 8-bit depiction of Jesus. However, even those who are offended will have to admit that this absolutely is a great idea, and just in time for Christmas. Doctor Octoroc has given us our own Christmas album to ring in the holidays in the form of 8-Bit Jesus. What is it, exactly?  Well, it’s actually a bizarre marriage between classic Christmas songs and NES sound sets from favorites like Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and Faxanadu just to name a few, all arranged in glorious 8-bit. With titles like “Ryu, The Red Nosed Ninja” and “O Come, All Ye Vampires,” it has to be good, right?

It gets even better though. While the album is downloadable for free, those who donate in increments of $15 USD will receive a physical copy of the album, with shipping (and international shipping!) included. Pretty awesome deal, and while you won’t have it in time for Christmas this year, you can enjoy it and annoy your family with it next holiday season.

Is this an amazing idea or what? Why hasn’t anyone done this sooner?
