The Last of Saturday Morning Cartoons?

This news is not game related, however cartoons were a big part of my weekend as a child, as most were during the early 90s. If you played Nintendo or Sega, odds are that you also watched Saturday morning cartoons. Even before I started playing video games on Saturday, it was cartoons that I watched first. Some of them were video game related like Sonic the HedgehogPokémon and Earthworm Jim. The news posting on Gizmodo goes into more depth.

Ocarina of Time being remade in 2D

The jump from 2D to 3D was a big thing in gaming technology. The industry really hasn’t that kind of graphical jump in a long time. Ever since the release of the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation, 3D gaming environments have been a mainstay in console gaming. Remakes of games from the past are quite common these days, usually receiving a graphical upgrade. Though, with OoT 2D, a fan remake, the graphics are being reverted back into the second dimension. For its time, OoT was pretty groundbreaking, most Zelda games were. That being said, have a look at OoT 2D.

OoT 2D is a 2D remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that is styled like ALttP. It has been attempted many times and by many different authors, the first attempt of which was over a decade ago!

This embodiment of OoT 2D will use no already-existing engine and no utilities such as Game Maker. While building it from scratch is slow and old-fashioned, this method of programming will grant full control over everything, resulting in a high-quality product! We hope you all like it!
