God of War on the NES

Carl Williams writes, "Everyone knows that God of War is a Sony owned intellectual property, one that would probably never be made available on a Nintendo system. That hasn’t stopped some ingenuitive game hackers who have created a God of War game on the venerable 8-Bit Nintendo. Yea, the NES that was released in the mid 80′s, almost 30 years ago. That one just got a God of War game, unofficially."

This should have been done on SNES.

triverse3673d ago

Yeah, that would be pretty interesting to see how this would look on the SNES. What game would they use as the base though? Actraiser 2?

hay3673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

Depends, I'd love to see it a bit more isometric with dodging instead of sidescrolling. Seiken Densetsu?

BelkingOfSony3673d ago

hope they made it as hard as nes games normally are, i want to see people rage as much as kratos

triverse3673d ago

They used Rygar as the base game for this hack so take that as you will.

No_Limit3673d ago

I had played GOW on the NES emulator on PC, it is called Rygar!

triverse3673d ago

As it is stated in the article (and here in the comments), this is a hack of Rygar. It is a "total conversion" of Tecmo's game.

dumahim3672d ago

It's funny because when I saw the headline, I thought, "Rygar would kind of be GoW in the NES days." Then saw the screenshot and laughed.

Guwapo773672d ago

Man I loved the hell out of Rygar! IF I still had a 480p TV I'd break it out.

Geobros3672d ago

Rygar was a very nice game to play on NES, nice base for making GOW.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk776d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator6d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.

Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.

Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

solideagle7d ago

I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D

FinalFantasyFanatic7d ago

I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
