Revered animation studio Ghibli has received a tribute in the form of an 8-bit recreation of their magnum opus film “Spirited Away“, summarizing the movie in but a mere 5 minutes as it hastily transitions from one scene to the next – whilst making several references to the 8-bit console games of yore.
The video was produced by the masterful CineFix, already responsible for various other 8-bit reenactments of a multitude of films and shows:
wish nes ran that good seems more like 16bit
yeah really that looks way better than games I played on my NES.
Looks on par with Capcom games really.
don’t sexualize the miyazakis…..f♥♥k what I said, more castle in the sky porn.
lol seeing this vid the first thing I’m reminded of is all the hentai where that fat White creature plows Sen.
I must of busted like 1000 nuts to Chihiro / Sen hentai.
too much impossible effects (opacity levels) and ignored hardware (layers) to be proper 8bits
Well its 8-bit and makes references to 8-bit console games. Noone seemed to claim it being a perfect emulation of those.
A NES would not be capable of it but some of the more powerful 8bit home computers such as an Atari 130XE,C128,or MSX Turbo-R probably can come close with some clever programing.
But yes it’s like what you’d expect of a ECS Amiga or Sharp X68000.
This is damn good.
Just to be a party pooper, don’t these “8-bit” recreations tend to have a few too many colours on the screen for them to truly pass for 8-bit? It comes across as a hybrid of 8-bit (Chihiro sprite) and 16-bit (a lot of the larger creatures).
8b = 256 colors
16b = 65,536 colors
Technically but depending on the hardware you can be limited to only a subset of those colors on screen at any one time, you can use the full gamut if you switch them out though.
