Infidelity just released their Zelda II: The Adventures of Link SNES port (weird it wasn't called The Legend of Zelda) and wow is it now IMO the best version of the original Zelda II on NES you could possibly play and it works on MiSTer FPGA! Retro gaming news incoming as this is just an awesome new way to play Zelda on SNES plus it works great on the MiSTer FPGA SNES core and may soon get MSU-1 Enhancements!! MiSTer FPGA review time with a MiSTer FPGA core and a retro game console banger!
and this is hot on the heels of Infidelity and his Mega Man III SNES port!

The Super Nintendo was SUPPOSED to have a CD-ROM attachment known as the SNES CD...but alas that was cancelled. So what did someone do? They created a variation of the same technology in software and FPGA code so we NOW HAVE FULL MOTION VIDEO AND CD QUALITY AUDIO ON THE MiSTer FPGA SNES CORE! How's that for cool retro gaming fun?

These ports are kind of like peering into an alternate timeline where the SNES was backwards compatible with the NES.

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

That would have been a fun timeline

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

Sadly it’s not but it’s getting better

Orginally it was supposed to have backwards compatibility.They ran out of time and left it out

@GalaxyMythos Seconded, but with at least 2 people working on formal conversions i feel we get the next best thing with the bigger and/or better games coming over!

@luciennethesorceress 3 месяца назад

at the very least these ports are conceptually really cool. wonder if someone could give it the super mario all-stars treatment graphically and audio-wise?

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

Could def be done

@schlittytube 3 месяца назад

Everybody had their own saves for Zelda 1 in my house but Zelda II was a family effort. We needed a team effort to tackle it. We'd all take turns and bounce around ideas of how to get over the next hump. I still remember when we finally finished it. Felt like some sort of monumental achievement. Haha. Memories like that are why I still play games "blind". It's a feeling/satisfaction I'm always chasing. And yes. Always wondered just how he got healed in there...

@rars0n 3 месяца назад

Zelda II was the first Zelda game my family owned, so I am biased towards it. I've never been particularly great at video games, and I still suck at it. Last time I played it, I had to use cheats to beat it. But I still love it. I hope the NES ports keep coming, as I was really disappointed to find that Analogue had no intention of putting the NES on the Super NT. I would love to be able to play my favorite NES games on the FPGA console!

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

It’s def not an easy game and it’s out to kill you at every turn

@androxilogin 3 месяца назад

I never really understood this game. I used to play Battle of Olympus a lot back in the day and I enjoyed the music a lot but honestly didn't really know what I was doing in it either. As for the ports, I try them- but I don't really get it. I mean, updated sprites or something would make sense. To me, it's just not something that is that exciting. Don't get me wrong, it's cool. But I don't really see the point. Then again, all of the ports I've seen so far are for titles I've never really been interested in.

@NLSagat 3 месяца назад

I guess it's similar to 'the last of us' and 'shadow of the collosus'. The games are still on their og systems, but if you want better gfx and quality of life fixes, there are more modern options to try. And sometimes changes or stuff that gets worse (see thousand year door on switch being 30fps vs 60 on cube). But here i think there are hardly any downsides and definitely a lot of upsides! And for the price of free :D

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад

It’s just a diff thought process about porting. It’s like swapping the engine in your car. You can’t see the diff right up front but you feel it

Infidelity is a machine! I do admit that this game isn't for me though. I never really got into Zelda until A Link to the Past on the SNES. Still an amazing job by Infidelity!

@NLSagat 3 месяца назад

Had it back in the day, i appreciated that they did something new and even completed the game (with the help of the tips in both the monthly nintendo ad magazine and commercial magazines) but def appreciated zelda 1 more. Do enjoy these nes on snes options as i sold my pal nes and gave away my zelda's to a good friend. May end up getting a ntsc or fpga nes again in the future though as it was a mega influential machine to me.......but i have a mister so no rush :D

@VideoGameEsoterica 3 месяца назад
