Final Fantasy VII Finally Gets Re-Made… for the NES
Yeah, sorry to taunt you guys — rest assured it hurt my own Final Fantasy-loving soul to type it, and I’m ashamed. But it seemed like the best way to get you to watch this fan-made video of what an NES version of FFVII might have been like. Sure, there are a few too many pixels here are there, and it actually looks worse than most NES games in some places, but the music is dead-on, and the guy who made it said he did the whole damn thing in two days (you can download the music at his site, actually). I haven’t even accomplished taking a shower in two days, so I say this dude has the advantage. (Via I Heart Chaos)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
