Video games have been around a long time. Today I turn back the clock and see if I can make my own games for some of Nintendos biggest consoles! The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) & N64 (Nintendo 64).

[@Milanesso777]

As someone who is a huge nerd when it comes to NES games, the sprites being more than 3 colors, the sprites not being drawn in 16×16 grids, the hexagons not being pixelated, and having non-pixel based rotations physically damaged me😭

[@ssg-eggunner]

idk whatsup with colors, seems that it uses only one palette 0F (transparency i think) 1D 16 (aproximated red) 30 so color wise it could be on the famicom, problem is, he didnt bother choosing the right tone aside that you could cheat the 3 color limitations by doing tile layering (ala capcom games, and could cause slowdowns) or flickering color layers (like former dawn) the real issue here is not taking native resolution and 8x8 tiles in mind, which makes this end up looking very sloppy

[@0xm]

Expected him to do that.. once you understand the console limitations you’ll understand why they look so bland

[@cactusgamingyt9960]

Shut up

[@ActionGamerAaron]

It's the ignorant impatient zoomer's idea of what an NES is like. It's what happens when you don't research one of the many available references on the Nintendo Switch Online service. It's not like they had to find an actual NES or anything.

[@tiglionabbit]

Yeah, geez, I thought from the intro he was going to make a game that could actually run on the NES. Huge rotating sprites like this weren't even possible until Yoshi's Island for SNES and that game shipped an additional processor in the cartridge. Not to mention the transparency fading, but perhaps something like that could be accomplished using palette swap animation. Could have at least paid some homage to the technical limitations like Shovel Knight does.

you just slightly pixelated your graphics and called it an nes game??

[@DoctorBugeater]

Yeah parallax isn’t even possible on the nes to my knowledge

[@Mr.Bonuts]

@@DoctorBugeater Now I'm not an expert BUT from what I have heard the NES has 2 layers with some games having a special 3rd. the first is for sprites, and the second is for backrounds. The sprite layer can have each sprite schmoove round however it wants, the backround layer can scroll but does not actually move. if its on the backround layer it will all be moving as one. The third layer is used in games like mario 3 for the little HUD. Actually, you can have the illusion of paragraph, some games with have one backround turn on for a frame, then another. This goes fast enough to look like 2 backround layers. TLDR: 2 layers, sprite layer can have many sprites that move independently. Backround layer moves all as one, therefor parallax is a no. Hope that got your answer answered!

[@jedizombiekiller9065]

​@@Mr.Bonuts The way this game works though could be possible since the stars move all at together. I assume if this were NES that the hexagons might be sprites? Actually the sprites in general are the most innacurate part because they rotate freely (impossible on the NES)

[@SJGamesNES]

The easy way to do a nes game is by using NESmaker ,not game maker.If the game work in a real NORMAL cartridge so I accept it a real nes game

Its not too obsurd, you would have to do backround flickering and make sprites for rotation, also remove some visual elements but it would work and work well. (Look similar too.)

[@Oliver300Dude]

@@Mr.Bonuts I mean premise-wise sure it could work, but the way it was made is not at all similar to an NES. It’s just vaguely the aesthetic.

@@Oliver300Dude Yeah thats true you would have to make it in a different way but the end product could be similar. You are correct in the mostly just aesthetic though cause how it is now would NOT be done on the NES.

SNES: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@Mr.Bonuts]

Ok I'm a retro game nerd and this I'm not actually mad- just venting.. Ok I am mad but thats because I'm obsessed with retro stuff and this is absurdity so if you wanna hear a tiny child nerd rant then continue reading. apparently pixlating a game makes it an NES, and lowering polygons and adding black bars makes it N64?? Anyone can do that- I have a pixlated game and that doesn't make in an NES game. Not to mention that the parallax scrolling (The way he did it) is not possible on the NES and rotation of sprites is technically possible but not like how its done here. Proper rotation I believe was added to the SNES (Which he seemed to forget the existance of) and thats why NES games just had more art for each rotation if devs wanted it. I'm not too savvy on the N64 but I do think most of the things there are possible, still its misleading to say he remade 20 generation when he: 1: Didn't actually even do that and just made them on any old engine 2: Seemed to miss 2 generations (Atari and SNES / PS1 era.) 3: only did 2 generations, if this is a multi-part-er sure but then don't say you did 20 when you did 2 and even skipped 2. Not hard to type 'Ep1:' at the start. Anyways, sorry for ranting I just get all annoyed at stuff like that, Barji if you by some insane chance see this then I'm not actually mad at all I understand you had to find SOMETHING to upload, don't blame you there. I don't wanna just be a bringer of complaints though so might I suggest a few things? Maybe title the videos you made [Console]-styled games to not be misleading, there was no indication here that these are not on real consoles so some people might actually think these are real. Not to worry if you want to programming for these consoles is easy nowadays, so many programs let you do this. My favorite is GBstudio which is super easy to use. Also add 'part one' or 'ep1:' to let people know this is a series. I understand if you don't wanna make games for the real hardware / emulators, I don't blame you. But I also have ways to help with that... Like I said up above, title videos that they are styled after these consoles. Assuming you are not gonna use real retro game making things then maybe obide by the real limitations those consoles have. For example, learn about what the system's game you are recreatings abilities (You can just google something like 'Can objects rotate on NES' or 'How many movable layers are on the SNES') and then limit yourself to obide by those rules. I think that would be SUPER fun and a cool twist to see the fun work-arounds. Plus your NES and N64 games do feel like an attempt at trying to look like a retro game but fail in ways that make it obvious its not, and usually not even feel like one either, this is a common problem for when devs try to make things like the old systems without actually limiting themselves. These limits would make the games feel much more accurate and could in theory be ported to actual NES's and others. I hope you take these into consideration (If the stars align and you see this comment that is) and keep posting cool videos in the future. Have an amazing day
