D-Pad Hero, a DDR/Guitar Hero-styled homebrew rhythm game released for the NES!
In addition to this excellent 8-bit rendition of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine,” D-Pad Hero also features similar reimaginings of A-Ha’s “The Swing of Things,” Chicane’s “Low Sun,” Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel,” and Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
You can download and play the ROM on an NES emulator — creators Kent Hansen and Andreas Pedersen suggest using a gamepad instead of your keyboard to play, though. Even with a gamepad, JC described his experience with D-Pad Hero as “hard as fuck.”
Fortunately, there’s also a Listen mode for those of us who just want to enjoy the chiptune music.
