Art: Xenoblade Chronicles Demake - Going Back to the 16-bit Era

wow. I wish this was a real thing!

Looks cool indeed, would love to hear some chiptune versions of the songs(already heard a few on youtube).
But imo to fully experience the game it has to be like it is now and not 16-bit.

Been playing through Secret Of Mana 2 lately and this looks almost exactly like SoM2, quality image

I would love it if this was actually an official game. Make the demake happen, Nintendo!

Very awesome

Oh my god, talking with friend about Xenoblade and then I entered Nintendo Life and spotted this news. Seen this awesome art before, but love your timing guys

Chrono Trigger-like pixel RPG in Xenoblade world - would play!

Oh my goodness, I usually don't care about this sorta stuff but wow. I'm dying to play Xenoblade just like this. Exactly like this

Xenoblade 💚

As a piece of art, this is awesome. More of these, please.

As a game, yeah, this would be kind of cool, but man - the GUI takes up half of the screen space!

I thought this was an actual project happening. Still, this is an amazing piece of art. I love Xenoblade, and this is what I'd imagine it to be in 16 bit.

Yeah I like the Wii xenoblade more than the Wii U version it just seems more personal so I'm happy he choice the original.

@BraveSonic Same here!

Nice, but that stuff on the left is taking up way too much space.

I love it, it's absolutely fantastic. The pixelart is spot on, but I actually think the way they've incorporated the display. is better, because it makes it feel more... I dunno. Xenobladesque

...Makes me wish for more Xenoblade now...

FF XII Revenant Wings = another example "Demake" (From PS2 graphic -> NDS graphic) despite having different storyline.

Yeah like everyone's saying, sign me up for some of that please!

Monolith Soft as a developer are really good with Pixel Art. Just look at Xenogears and Project X Zone as examples.

I wouldn't even consider it a "demake" it if were a real project. It looks miles better than the actual Wii and 3DS versions.

I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Mad props to @ThomasBW84 for checking out Abysswolf as I suggested. The dude is incredibly talented and the pixel art he creates is just gorgeous. I mean, look at this!

If they go any further then they can look forward to a cease and desist from Nintendo.

Wow this is pretty

Wow looks incredible! Gotta love 16 bit rpg art style!

This would be awesome as a real version of the game. I'd play it multiple times.

That just conjured Colony 9 and Gaur Plains music in my mind

Makes me want to play it, Well done.

@Xaessya I knew it! I knew someone was going to say something like that sooner or later! It's like clockwork... Gifted fans create cool thing, certain commenting fans ravenously attack it like guard dogs!

That's awesome, almost makes me wish Nintendo would actually make a few "demakes".

The only problem is that the original UI style takes up too much space here, but that can easily be changed to a Secret of Mana style UI. The ring menu/pausing to select abilities might be a good compromise as well, instead of being entirely real time...

That's an incredible picture. The SoM style is just sublime.

The amazing thing is I can tell exactly what spot this is in the game

Uh, that looks more like a PS1 or Saturn 2D sprite style (if even that).

It better be Reyn time.

Looks great. Although would be hard to create the epic landscapes of Xenoblade Chronicles in this format.

Would be awesome if it was for real. Great game

I'm really feelin' it!

Should have based on the art style of Soma Bringer.

Make it reality! I will be the first in line to buy it lol.
Looks great

Those graphics are too good for the SNES.

God, I would have had this nintendo power article on my bedroom wall with the earthbound poster and ff3 poster that came with the game. Used to love that anticipation when i was a kid. Its not the same anymore but its close. Blame it on the backlog. Never had a backlog in the 90's. That word wasnt even in the dictionary. ......Then came my late 20's....then mid 30's. Haha ageing gracefully.

I'd rather play this one.

I would buy that in a heartbeat!

100% would play.

Nice.

i would play this.

The HUD looks awful, taking up about 50% of the screen real estate. I mean, as far as art goes, it's a wonderful-looking piece. It'd be very impractical in gameplay, however.

NOICE

Demake this for the Super NES and/or GBA and I promise you I'll be the first to throw you money just like I did the game below.
