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?

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.
