In addition to being a bizarre sock puppet rock band, Uncle Monsterface are a bunch of Nintendo fanboys. And they’re gonna prove it. The band that features singing and dancing sock puppets, giant monsters, inflatable lobsters, and songs about Count Chocula has decided to put their love of all things Nintendo to song. Collectively filled with several mountains full of child-like glee at the release of Nintendo’s new video game system, The Wii, the boys in Monsterface are penning an online-only ep that will become available for download just as they (and the rest of the world) get their hands on the next generation in gaming.

Featuring the full length songs: I’m Sorry (But Your Princess Is In Another Castle); Bring Back the Eggplant Wizard (song for Gunpei Yokoi); and MIYAMOTODE,the album will also feature short songs dedicated to the land of Hyrule (Zelda) and Samus Aran (Metroid). The album will release via snocap.com as a download-only purchase with each track costing under $1.

Nintendo’s new console, The Wii, is set to revolutionize video games as we know them, creating an unprecedented interactive experience that not only encourages participation in gamers of all age and types, but also welcomes consumers with an affordable price. Uncle Monsterface ardently believes in Nintendo’s new product and feels a distinct affinity with it’s all-inclusive, interactive, fan-friendly ethic - an ethic they themselves try to impart by creating interactive experiences with their audiences both live and via the internet.

All from here.

Not really sure what one can say to something like this. Opinions?
