Koji Kondo is a legend. He is Nintendo's very own Beethoven, composing the themes for games like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda. Those who attended this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) certainly had a treat. At the closing ceremonies came Video Games Live, a concert performance featuring game music.

The talented composer played the Mario Theme live at the games expo and the audience was in awe. Hearing Koji Kondo playing the theme just made this writer zoom back to the days of the NES and into nostalgia. Here's the video of his performance, taken by GameVideos.

Enjoy!
