Nintendo

Hardcore band originally from Pennsylvania, United States. Nintendo includes Mike Allison, Chris Fischer, and Mario. Like all of Unread's vinyl releases, released a cassette demo as issue 06 of Unread, Nintendo inconveniently broke up right after the 7″ record came out, and the bassist is believed to have thrown a bunch of them away in the bitterness of their collapse. As a side note, their 7″ self-titled seems to be one of the most permanent of the early Unread releases, likely owing to its relatively large pressing, which must have dwarfed the many cassette runs. The single had Chris Fischer's parents' phone number on it, and he tells me his mom would get phone calls for years after, inquiring about booking Nintendo for gigs. When he moved to Omaha in 1999, this was the one Unread release that people had in their collections.
