Love this type of atmospheric music. Great vibes.

Looks fantastic.

I agree with his sentiment. That looks incredible!

@smoreon I was wondering how they got it to run at 30fps on original hardware. Still impressive that it’s running at all.

This one is a lot of fun, like Celeste level once you’re further along. Very satisfying.

I watched the comparison video by Digital Foundry. It’s really good and faithful to the original and the texture art is incredible. The actual lighting is a bit too bright though and needs to be toned down to match the original spooky aesthetics of Ravenholm.

@Coalescence and they have brand recognition because their games are actually fun to play on that potato.

Hi, my name is QuarterSwede and I’m addicted to curating retro systems and games.

@RetroGames First thought I had was no shaders? Probably not the right first impression. Heck, even Balatro uses them for the nostalgia/clean up the jaggy edges of pixels. But, I haven’t even downloaded it to see so maybe it does?

@KingMike FFMQ music is excellent. Lots of bangers.

@tektite_captain Striking is more the term. It is a good piece.

Not sure how I missed the first demo but this looks outstanding! Can’t wait to play it tonight and this weekend!

@RetroGames No good way to play DS games as they were meant to be played on a horizontal screen. Slap the joycons on the top and bottom rotate 90° and now you have a vertical system great for NDS and Schmups.

You know, I wonder if that is why the Switch 2 is said to have magnetic joycons …

I’ve never thought about an ultrasonic bath for grimy parts but that’s brilliant. My wife already has a jewelry one …

I would LOVE to go to this. Excellent game and soundtrack. Hopefully they record it.

@Sketcz You aren’t wrong. The hill on the right goes up in the game image and the hill on the right in the photo does not go nearly as high. Even with the resolution change the computer wouldn’t have made that choice on interpolation. I live in a mountainous area and they don’t look at all similar to me.

Taki isn’t a marketing genius by any stretch. Good at hardware, bad at misleading people, more than likely unintentionally.

Love that Teal!

@Bunkerneath Ohhh, great question. This would be an excellent alt.
