​

Back in the 90's, Nintendo and Sony made an agreement to work on a CD-like console, with the prototype for this collaboration being a Super Nintendo with CD capabilities, with said prototype being found some years ago. However, that collaboration between Nintendo and Sony fell through, as Nintendo ended up partnering with Phillips, leaving Sony aside, and eventually, leading to Sony creating their own console, which eventually became the very first Sony PlayStation, and a major rival to Nintendo in the gaming market.

Out of that partnership between Nintendo and Phillips, came several Nintendo licensed video games for the exclusive Phillips console at the time, the CD-i, with some of the most well-known characters from Nintendo appearing in the CD-i with games like Hotel Mario, Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil, with the later two titles focused on the Zelda franchise getting fanmade remasters a few years ago. However, there was still another Zelda title released for the CD-i that completed the Unholy Triforce for the console, with that being Zelda's Adventure, which sadly didn't get a remaster like the other two titles on the CD-i... Until today.

Thanks to the efforts of developer JappaWakka, Zelda's Adventure is now getting a fanmade remaster to coexist alongside its unholy brethren, with the remaster now having a demo available for users to enjoy and test on their devices, with the latest demo version being v0.0.6. The remaster includes the following features:

• Remastered Mode, which includes several Quality of Life features and restored cut content.
• Classic Mode that plays similar to the original release
• Smooth 60fps gameplay
• Subtitles for cutscenes and ingame dialogue
• Rebindable controls
• Better looped ambience sound/music
• Stereo panned sound effects
• Localization options (currently only English and Dutch are available).

Those interested in trying out this remaster for the obscure CD-i title, can do so by visiting JappaWakka's Itch.io website, or by compiling the source code for the game with GameMake Studio LTS 2022 from JappaWakka's GitHub repository.

Bad games deserve remakes MORE than good games. Let's realize the good within the bad and try to make something great with it!

If one tried to remake Sonic '06 I'd kick their ass very hard.

First the Game Boy (Color) demake, now this. What a time to be alive.

the gameboy color demake is probably better than the original

Pray you never dig any amount about Project '06 or the ongoing Sonic 06 decomp then.

Yes! Give me remakes of all of them! Make them worthy of the source material!

I was honestly hoping it was going to be the "MMMMMMM... richer!" game

The first two CD-i games were remade by fans with QoL features, and I think it's great that some brave devs have done the same for the last game in the CD-i Zelda family.

Kudos to the devs, with additional thanks given to the dev(s) of the Gameboy demake.

Ah! So that's done already? Well I'll be damned!

i wish theyd do "Marios Hotel". that ones actually kinda fun.

I did the two-second research. I found a decomp in LUA that's unfinished. There's a recompilation project that was updated three weeks ago. Project 06 seems to still be MIA. (The last update was over a year ago with the Silver Release.) My understanding is that Project 06 was nearly complete with bosses and a few other features still missing. I thought there was someone else converting Sonic 06 using Unity, but I don't think anything became of that project.

TL;DR: Sonic 06 preservation/improvement projects frequently seem to go unfinished, but maybe it's a side effect of the actual game being incomplete.

Actually, Project 06 is still being worked on, according to ChaosX’s (the owner) twitter (blegh)

Ah, thanks for the update. That's good news. It gives me an update to look forward to.

I never thought to check Twitter, but that's partially because I disagree with the formatting. Putting the most recent posts at the top would be intuitive, but instead, they're buried randomly between legacy posts. Maybe it's different for registered users.

It already got one years ago, for the NES actually, look around and you'll find it.

Are you saying NES ET is the first remastered game ever?

I didn't even know that an NES remake/port of the original Atari 2600 E.T. game existed, but I can tell you that this version came out in 2014. Off the top of my head, Super Mario All-Stars came out long before that. (For reference, All-Stars came out in 1993.) However, NES E.T. may be the first remake/remaster of an Atari 2600 game.

This is so stupid. WHy would anyone port this. Why not port Twilight princess ionstead.

it says remaster, not port. It means they could add some quality, some stuff that could make fans enjoy these titles more, while keeping what made these games unique.
