I thought you were joking for a second.
That's interesting, but they lost me at "Dial-Up Connection"

There's a demo version on Google maps. http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&tab=wl and it has a surprising amount of detail I saw labels for buildings and such, as well a detailed pictures for landmarks. Street view changes all the colours into NES palettes.

There's lots of cool monuments in this game. Check out the Sydney Opera House!

Ha, I wonder how Nintendo would react to it. Who would actually physically manufacture the cartridges?

Yeah and they couldn't really get detailed roads. My hometown is all one giant green field apparently.

Still, this is so fucking epic. I could help but watch all the video with a huge grin on my face.

Some of the jokes Google provides are damn cool. It's just a shame they only last for one day and this one I do like quite a bit for the 8-bit charm.

Google could have all of my money if they did manufacture this. I hope they keep quest mode on Google maps for at least a few days.

So, this isnt really a game, right? im a little confused. Its just still a map, right?

Response to Google Maps On The Nes! 2012-04-03 04:55:13


Why would they put something like that up for only one day? i mean cmon, its awesome! it may be a april fools joke, but still, they shouldve kept it up....
