>So, I decided to make re-imagined versions of the 1993 CD-i classics "The Faces of Evil" and "The Wand of Gamelon". They are remakes using original assets, available for free download to play on Windows and Linux here:
>Features include widescreen mode, remastered mode for less frustrating play, subtitles, touched up sprites, unlockables, and more. They are not 1:1 remakes, with many differences, but I believe they capture the spirit.
>I developed these over the course of 4 years in Game Maker as an exercise to teach myself game development and fulfill an in-joke between friends. As an amateur effort, the programming got a little rough, but hey, it works, and I learned a ton in the process.

># Remastered Mode
>Default off. Toggling Remastered Mode on eliminates limited continues, changes the color of the rupees to match the rest of the series, allows pickup of non-quest items without stabbing them with the smart sword, allows opening the inventory without crouching, and modifies other certain gameplay and enemy behaviors to allow for a more pleasing experience.
It's just dead simple sidescrolling. Faces of Evil Makes Zelda II look like a PS5 game.

This is supreme bullshit. The game's mainly unplayable because of botched load times and save system, which a remaster would fix. He skipped on the game that needed help the most in favor of memes.

I do congratulate the creator for doing the improbable and getting Nintendo to acknowledge the CD-i games they supposedly disowned (if that Age of Calamity line isn't a coincidence),but I'd much rather a remaster that was actuallyy necessary (I'd even have accepted Hotel Mario if there was a mode that eliminated deaths from jumping through ceilings).

Didn't this came out before the remaster? Is it even in the Japanese version or is it just some English translator doing a joke? Are you sure it isn't a coincidence.
I highly doubt a fan remaster of a CD-i game has any impact whatsoever. If anything they were doing a meme. The CD-i games won't show up in any official nintendo timeline.

The CD-i was such a limited system that the fact that a sidescrolling adventure game exists for it is impressive. 90% of the titles for it were FMV or still-image based, for good reason.

It really was a piece of shit as far as playing video games goes. Trying to market it as a video game console after it struggled to gain a foothold in the "home theater" market was the wrong call, honestly should habe just scrapped it and tried making a proper console if nothing else.
