Dark Souls 3 Demake: NES Style Reimagined for Retro Fans | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

Imagine a world where the gritty and challenging action of Dark Souls 3 is transformed into a side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of classic hits like Ghosts ‘n Goblins. This demake version takes cues from other legendary franchises such as Castlevania, Ghosts 'n Goblins, and even incorporates gameplay elements from Mega Man 2.

The creators behind this project have meticulously recreated every detail, from the game's signature boss fights to the intricate platforming challenges. Notably, the second boss's background is made completely black due to NES hardware limitations in handling extra sprites.

Are you a Dark Souls 3 fan? Have you even wondered what it would be like in 2D?

Wait, it's like Ghosts 'n Goblins with an HP bar and estus?

So they made it look like DS but also made it easier? That's the funniest thing I've heard all week, if so.

Looks neat ...but am I putting crap together correctly? I don't see it being available to play... Or is it behind the patreon?

It's not a real game, just an illustration of what one might look like.

If this were a real game back in the day it would have been really fondly remembered. Too bad this is just an animated video instead of an actual game.
