When holding a single note on a square wave under a bit crusher it just sounds like modified pulse width (granted when you play different notes it sounds more obviously like a bit-crusher). There just has to be something else that is special about the synthesis.

Arpegiators help too, but i think that's cheating.

The Nintendo didn't have a perfect square wave, rather a somewhat rounded saw-ish square (not much unlike the 303), which is much more prone to bit reduction. Theres probably somewhere on the net that has an image of the Nintendo square wave, in that case you can use an additive synth to recreate it.

About arpeggiators, thats more C64 style...

Pfft. Easiest thing in the world. Find a copy of "C64 Exposed" and you'll be all set.

Fzero was a sick game. I beat it the other day in an emulation, actually.

Gee thanks for the FamTracker!

If you need the bitreduced drumsamples then try NesBeat.
