I physically cannot comprehend why or how they’ve done this. They say madness and genius go hand in hand and I believe it, because this is as bewildering as it is incredible.
I always love this kinda stuff. Reminds me of when a new console would come out before people pushed the limits and comparing the graphics of release titles and later ones. Like the difference between Halo 1 and Halo 2 is ridiculous when you consider they were for the same console. Like them or not, Nintendo has always been good about performance over graphics. Their games can look dated when comparing them to other consoles at the time, but they never had major performance issues.
Yeah, I think it's also really cool, but it's firmly in the realm of "novelty" for me. As in, I think it's cool, but I probably wouldn't spend more than 20 min or so playing it because the graphics are a bit too rough.
That said, this is fantastic work, and the game appears to run smoothly.
