Have you ever stepped back and taken a look at the entire rhythm game genre (that’s Guitar Hero, Rock Band, DDR, Parappa, etcetera) and thought to yourself, “In terms of graphics, there was nothing preventing these game from existing 20 years ago.” Sure, they wouldn’t have been as pretty, but how pretty do you need arrows, circles, and text flying across the screen for it to still be fun? You can now rest assured you are not alone. A pair of developers has seen the light and retrofitted Guitar Hero as an NES rom! It’s called D-Pad Hero, and it’s harder than if Mega Man 9 and Ninja Gaiden Black consummated and gave birth. Fire up your emulator of choice and download it now. Sweet Child o’ Mine never sounded so… 8-bit.
