Something something streisand effect
Thanks mate.
"you-know-which-site" has already archived the page. I love that site.
I don't know which site.
Wouldn't it be nice if they would just pull a valve and allow these developers to come aboard and develop stuff for them? It's free money.
They don't want to water down their brand.
"water down the brand"
They're a toy company first and foremost. They don't think about games like other devs do.
I'd understand if this was 2013 Nintendo. But we've seen lackluster and broken releases from the once mighty Nintendo. Including, ironically, a lackluster and inconsistent Link's Awakening remake, that ran at its best on an emulator.
We are once again seeing fans beating out the companies that created the games, at their own game.
Although I can't say I know nintendo's public position on this. I always find it funny whenever a corpo argues in favor of the "free market" as a reason not to do anything to improve the lives of everyone, but as soon as someone touches their precious decaying corpse of an intellectual property suddenly it's "infringing on my intellectual property and degrading the value of my assets.".
I had no idea this was even a thing but now I'm going to download it on principle.
All it needed was an hour.
Unless it was updated from yesterday, it's really cool and also kind of a let down. I like it and will finish it.
There's no way to exit the game. That's baffling.
The textures are nintendos. They are Not HD whatsoever. Each pallet is like 240 across.
That's basically the only bad things. There are soft shadows and some very faint light effects. Being able to zoom the camera is very very cool.
What I really like about it is everything still functions as rooms/screens. Enemies won't leave their screen, but it works great. You would think it would janky. Somehow it keeps the charm of the game intact.
Also, full 360 movement with dpad and joystick.
Definitely worth it if you like the good Zelda games.
Checked out some threads about it and it seems to have a fair number of bugs. It’s still a ridiculous effort for, what I assume to have been, one person.
Oh definitely, it's impressive.
I'm hoping someone uses it for something new.
If windows, just alt f4 to exit, if linux, run it from a terminal, alt tab back to terminal and kill it to close the game?
Also it wouldnt be too hard these days to run the textures through an ai upscaler, just have to find someone with a powerful enough rig and enough spare time to do it.
Honestly, these days you don't even need a particularly powerful rig. Just time and effort, really.
The effort could easily be just the macros to proc the lot via AI.
True, though if I were to do it, I'd want to vet/guide the process to get good results. Either way though, it's certainly doable.
I haven't paid for a Nintendo game in a decade and never will again. Easily the biggest scumbags in the game and there's tough competition out there.
I'm going to play on Ryujinx even harder now you fucks.
Lol. I too will play on my steamdeck... even though i actually do own the switch remake which means I'm not technically pirating it
Piracy isn't relevant here. This is a fan-created work of art, and free for anyone who wants to play it. Nothing was "stolen", and Nintendo is, as always, being a bunch of corpo fucktards.
Something was stolen - they were giving out copies of Link's Awakening, not just the enhancements they made but the game and art content of the original game, which is Nintendo's IP so it is piracy (not to dispute the rest of what you're saying necessarily though). Projects normally get around this by releasing the fan enhancements as a patch that can be applied to a ROM, shifting the piracy from the project to the end user.
Yeah dude, totally pirate that free fan game. You go gurl
Yes
