Super Mario Bros. ported to Sega Genesis, mostly intact |
Listed in: Wii, Nintendo DS Tags: Genesis, port
It's the fourth of July, and unlike the fireworks that'll light up the sky tonight, news is slow and the blogs really aren't lightning up today. But in case you're a fan of the classic Super Mario Bros., you'll be glad to know that someone made a port for the Sega Genesis - but what makes this rather noteworthy is that the dev managed a very faithful, very solid port.
Now it's not very exciting to see ports of this game, especially since there have been quite a number of them already throught the years. But looking at the quality of the work, it does give nostalgia from yesteryear, and on the rival console, too, no less.
Making use of an automatic converter, the dev Mairtrus was saved much of the trouble and was left to simply optimize the port at 64KB. "At least the 75% of the code is still untouched after the translation," Mairtus wrote.

I am a huge Genesis fan and it looks nice, but I am sorry the sound is GOD AWFUL.
I know the Genesis is more capable than that. Reminds me of Ninja gaiden Trilogy where they changed the music for the Super Nintendo. YUCK.
