This is a prototype for the Fast Travel / World Map Battle Engine in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! We don't think we can squeeze any more out of the NES than this. (Well, maybe a *little bit* more...) Unmute your audio! #Pixelart #NES

The full NES color pallete is neat

Technically, the full color palette of the NES is 425 colors, not 54...but hardly anyone uses the other 371 colors because they are exceedingly difficult to integrate into a game. We're already using 53 of those 371, and plan to use more.

so my guess is that the overlapped parralax scrolling is achieved by animation a shitload of background tiles? 😂😂

Yes, of course. Very carefully placed and timed, with colors in common with the background layers, and with advanced mid-frame palette manipulation...

I can't believe this is running on an NES! Is it using extra chips in the cart?

Yes; we have developed our own memory mapper called MXM-1. You can read some of the history and philosophy behind it here on our company blog:

Gorgeous ! It's really impressive ! But I'm a little worried, did you remove the 8 sprites limit ?

Something Nerdy Studios2 yıl önce

No, we just did everything we could to work around it. 1) Careful placement of sprites for the layers to avoid any 1 screen from having more than 8 on a scanline. 2) Multi-layer compositing in MXM-1. 3) Background tile animation. 4) Common colors between background and sprites.

What an awesome looking NES-compatible Sega Genesis game! 😁

We loved the lantern effect from A Link to the Past so much that we decided to replicate it in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! (Unmute your audio...) Still needs work, but we think it's just fine as a proof-of-concept. This works on a real NES. #8bit #NES

We've been very busy working on the turn based combat engine for Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the PC and NES! Watch the whole video; there's a lot going on! Yes, all of this is legal on the NES. No, this is not a mockup. This is our actual game engine! #nesdev #pixelart

Zelda II released for Famicom January 14, 1987 (yes, I’m a few days late!). I honestly love this game and thought it would be fun to cover 10 ways the NES release is different from Famicom! 1. The NES version rewrites the intro, removes the second “n” from Ganon’s and reference to “another” sleeping Zelda, and refers to palaces rather than sanctuaries. 2. NES introduces an ominous red game over screen, removes the second “” from Ganon and incorporates his taunting laugh, which is reused from Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! (Released September 18, 1987, while the NES version released Dec. 1, 1988). 3. Link’s sprite has a visible mouth in the NES version absent in Famicom’s. 4. Additional Pillars are added to Zelda’s North Palace chamber for NES. 5. Roaming monsters are more distinct in the NES version. 6. Link’s NES raft sprite in faces right while Famicom’s is forward. 7. Famicom used fewer brick palates for Palaces, with NES including more colors. 8. The 4the boss, Carock at Maze Island, only faces forward for Famicom but can face left or right for NES. 9. The 5th Palace boss for Famicom pits players against a stronger version Helmethead reused from the 2nd Palace, while the NES introduces a new boss, Gooma. 10. The River devil appears as an oni (devil) rather than a spider like creature. This is not exhaustive and I’d love to cover more at a later date! Thank you for watching as I try something new!

As a kid, I was obsessed with Where's Waldo? While we owned the SNES version, I'm glad we only rented the NES one a couple of times. It's frustrating. On Easy, you spend more time walking around the map than in game. On any difficulty the Subway area is a cruel mess. #RetroGaming

In theory, a movie on the NES could look something like this. This sample is 256x144px, but ideally we would have 256x128px at 12fps. The problem is data storage. Without using aftermarket hardware, 90s mappers would support no more than a few seconds of video, maybe 30 at most.

It's been confirmed that the #NES prototype of Aladdin that we added to the site last week was in fact an unreleased NTSC edition of the game, which is a lovely surprise and we hadn't realized that only a PAL edition had been released.
