The world of video games owes a lot to the NES, a pioneering console in many areas, first released in 1983. reasons. : We were in 1983. The video game industry has changed a lot since then, and online multiplayer is ubiquitous. This gave Sylvain Gadrat a very strange idea: What if he had developed an NES game with online multiplayer?
A few years later, we’re back with Super Tilt Bro, a project whose Kickstarter campaign started Wednesday, April 26, with a target of 40,000 euros. At the time of this writing, this threshold had already been crossed, with the project raising just over €57,000. So it’s a clear feat, which is very predictable given the nostalgic scope of the offering, and additionally updates a decades-old console.
Time to get your NES out of the closet
To achieve this feat, Sylvain Gadrat added a network chip to the game cartridge and a WiFi antenna that allowed it to connect to a server with other players. Currently, only two players can compete in the arenas offered by the game. The developer has even thought of a method to reduce latency in a session.
To do this, he imagined a system that tries to predict the opponent’s next move. If the guess is correct, the game continues uninterrupted. On the other hand, if the system has made a mistake, a light will flash on the screen so as not to lose the sense of fluency. In other words, gamers will find all the feel of online multiplayer games… but therefore on the NES.
