My experience with nintendocore with nearly every band I've heard has been poop. There's either horrible guitar tone, horrible vocals, or poorly programed 'chip'. There's a difference from being an elitist and desiring at least decent guitar tones.
That said, I don't think I've heard any of the bands listed on this thread.
I'll check out everyone's recommendations.
I really want to find nintendocore I can like. It's hard.

1. 7 months
2. the Datathrash Mixtape 1. I wasn't exposed to aggressive chipmusic until then.
3. I use the Nanoloop Mobile App on Droid
4. Hardcore (metal, not hardcore edm... yuck.). The passion and energy of hardcore is something I try to capture with my music.
5. I know basic music theory. I took a Guitar 1 class in high school. All the music theory I know is through playing guitar.
6. Before you write anything, listen to as much chip as you can find. I'm talking listen for at least six months. Once you have a good idea of what 'chip music' is, either go the Famitracker route, or go with Nanoloop Mobile. It's intuitive and been great for me to learn chip music composition.
7. Yes I do.
7a. I've played local hardcore shows, house shows, internet shows, and I've tried busking my chip music in downtown Denver (didn't go so well.).
7b. To get my music out there. No one will know who you are if you stay behind your computer. Music is meant to be performed.
7c. I play straight from my phone. If a mixer is needed, I have a Beheringer Xenyx 802. When busking or when I need a PA/monitor, I have a Roland Cube Street. I plan on in the future incorporating live guitar. I have a Mitchel LC-200CE Electric Classical, a Yamaha CJ-818SB Acoustic, and a Ibanez RG120 Electric. I will most likely be using the Ibanez. Cause I like breakdowns.

Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans
I grew up in Arabi/Chalmette, not five miles away. A whole other world, but man, driving through there and hearing the news reports... serious shit on the daily.
