See 7 Images From The Dark Knight NES Game!
8-bit Joker and Two-Face inside...
Imagine a world in which the NES was fighting with the PS3 and the Xbox 360 on shop shelves.
Now imagine that Nintendo had got the exclusive rights to a Dark Knight videogame. Now head for the gallery to your right to see what the graphics would look like.
Because we may not live in a land where the NES is still king but we do breathe the same air as youtube genius El Macbee, who has painstakingly created a fake SNES Dark Knight title-screen, complete with an 8-bit interpretation of James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer’s score.
It's genuinely brilliant, and you can watch it below.
C'mon Nintendo, get someone to come up with some side-scrolling gameplay, then code, package and release it! We'll all buy a NES off ebay, we promise!
