Final Fantasy VII Remake!!
For the NES!
I’m sorry, that was very cruel of me. I know that Final Fantasy VII is the world’s favourite RPG (to poop on). I still retain a lot of affection for it; it was the title that changed video games forever, which is kind of funny to hear if you were into the Final Fantasy series since the sunset of the NES. Nintendo tried very hard to get American audiences to latch on to Final Fantasy, but the series was strictly nerd stuff until Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy VII was a super-soldier in Sony’s battle to overthrow Nintendo, and now…we have a fan-made NES remake of the game. Playing FF VII on a Nintendo system is like mating a puppy and a kitten: It Should Not Be, but the end product is awfully cute.
Do you remember the sort-of proof of concept thing that some Japanese folks made for FFX on NES a bunch of years ago? Their website died, and I have a feeling they were never really hacking a ROM, so much as showing what it WOULD be like. The best part of their project, though, was their awesome conversions of FFX songs to NES-quality.
