An Amazing Gallery of Video Game Demakes

This series of incredible video game “demakes” is from artist Junkboy over at WayofthePixel. A “demake,” in case you haven’t guessed, is a rendering of a current game if it were made on an older console. In this case usually something like Genesis, SNES, NES or Game Boy.

The results are pretty stunning, and there’s a whole gallery of these, in addition to Resident Evil 5 here above, that you can view below. I’ve figured out what most of the titles being demade are here, but I’ve missed a few and I’ll need your help to figure out the rest.

Check them out:

Bioshock

    the missing titles are of course metroid prime (or perhaps Metroid:other M) and the other one is definetely Sin and Punishment 2 :D

  2. Chakon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:26 pm

    The first ??? might be Metroid Prime or so on Game Cube, or where ever it came out.

  3. Bashmanon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:31 pm

    Third pic down is ‘Metroid: Other M’ :)

  4. Banochoon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:31 pm

    The ??? entry is Sin & Punishment I belive

  5. Bashmanon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:31 pm

    p.s. all look great!!

  6. Johnon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:32 pm

    The one you just have 3 question marks for I believe is supposed to be Metroid Prime

  7. Freckleson 02 Aug 2010 at 4:34 pm

    #3 looks Metroid-ish… just from the visor and the weapon.

  8. Brandenon 02 Aug 2010 at 4:54 pm

    I think the first one is Bioshock 2, not the first one.

  9. Markon 02 Aug 2010 at 5:16 pm

    Thinking the first ‘???’ is one of the Metroid Primes.
    Also, Smash Bros retro would have been so awesome!
    Thats something they could easily bring out for the DS.
    But I’ll keep dreaming…

    Since no one else has said it yet, that third one pictured is Metroid.

  11. Henrikon 02 Aug 2010 at 6:41 pm

    That Super Smash Bros image is from an actual flash game. It been a while since i have played it, but i think it was on Newgrounds. It was pretty fun. I have to find it again.

  12. Ledonon 02 Aug 2010 at 7:13 pm

    The one below Batman: Arkham Asylum is Metroid Prime.
    The one below MGS4 is Sin and Punishment

  13. jameson 02 Aug 2010 at 7:27 pm

    The one everyone is saying metroid looks like halo 2 or 3 to me.

  14. Michael Ellinghamon 02 Aug 2010 at 8:49 pm

    http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots_wii/gallery/metroid1_large.jpg – Just a bit of proof

  15. xXburekXxon 02 Aug 2010 at 9:59 pm

    the first ??? i think is metroid prime or halo

  16. Matt Chion 02 Aug 2010 at 10:04 pm

    benjaminson nailed it immediately on the first comment, I dunno why people still keep trying to name them.

  17. Brendanon 03 Aug 2010 at 8:42 pm

    I believe the “Killzone” one is Gears of War…….just for the dudes bandana! Could be completely wrong though. Amazing find!

  18. Ssyrieon 04 Aug 2010 at 3:18 pm

    I’d play most of those games if someone actually made them.

  19. Basthianon 18 Oct 2010 at 11:20 pm

    first ??? metroid other m
    second ??? sin and punishment

    Hello,

    Just found this collection menwhile searching for demakes, because my artcile is greatly covers it.
    So, I want to told you, that in the ex_USSR in the 90′s the 90% of computers were ZX Spectrum 128 clones.
    As from 1993 the official support of ZX Spectrum ‘platform’ was stopped, crazy Russians made amazing demakes for ZX128 from Amiga and PC (amazing means, respecting the capatibilities of the machine.)
    See:

    Also worth to check the best of bests conversion on YouTube, as Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat demo, etc.
