Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
So much win. I loved the spoon animation and sound.
They ought to do more of these.

No way a nes could run it

Possibly 8-bit on an arcade board with lots of custom hardware but not a 8-bit home system.

nobody respects hardware restrictions in shit like this, which is a shame
Yeah, while I appreciate the work that into it I can't help but feel kind of turned off by these things when they take so many artistic liberties and don't really follow any unified standard. It's an 8-bit/16-bit "uncanny valley" if you will.

What if I told you
this was already installed on your PC and ready to play?

Yes let's just because something is done with pixels, it's not automagically "8-bit"

bitch I'm taking calls.
I agree. But I think complaining about it is fairly pedantic, as the videos themselves are straightforward about what they are:
I believe it's fair to say 8-bit is used as a moniker for style rather than a strict definition of the processors used in their creation.
CineFix presents The Matrix retold via old-school 8-bit (and a little 16 bitgame tech. No quarters or controllers required! 8-bit Cinema "gamifies" your favorite Hollywood Blockbusters into 80's arcade and NES inspired action!

Not just a game, they recreated many of the big moments from the film. Great job.

The Wire JRPG has to be my favorite (Spoilers)
Watching this just made me sad as to how good the first matrix movie was and it tapered off from there. The second was okay but man the third was a mess

Wow. Awesome. I love projects like these. There's no way the NES could run this but I'd say the Master System could probably just about pull it off. Master System games towards the end of its life pulled off games that were almost on par with very early Genesis titles. If you look at the MS version of Wonderboy in Monster World compared to the Genesis port they're surprisingly pretty damn close. So yeah the MS could pull this off.
Then again I used to be a die hard Sega fan so admittedly I'm super biased.

I found Trinity's default walk animation particularly hilarious.
Come on, if you really wanted to make this pedantic, somebody should've mentioned that the dojo sprites were redrawn from Street Smart.
Style reminds me of Shadow Run for SNES, so I would say this would be more of a 16-bit look.

8-bit color palette maybe, those animations and sprites are more in the 16-bit territory

there's something to be said when the creator stays within the actual limitations of the style they're emulating.
it's a neat thing though.

it looks like something that the TurboGrafx-16 could run
