TIL: Nintendo has a history of impossible space exploration game ports.
I'm so surprised by No Man's Sky on the Switch. It's playable and not really all that limited. If, as Hello Games teased, multiplayer could get added, it would be an even more amazing feat.
Will I be sticking with Switch as the main driver for NMS? I'm not sure. It's very serviceable though.
But, as I was looking into inspirations for No Man's Sky today, I came across Elite. I had no idea, but Elite was ported to the NES. They had to do some work around in the cartridge. I know the OG Elite isn't the same as games like Elite: Dangerous or No Man's Sky…but man seeing 3D graphics on an NES (drawn wire frames) is interesting..and the game is still open ended and large in scope. It probably blew people's minds!
I'm really happy Hello Games did port to the Switch. It's a very nice way to dip my toes into this amazing, amazing game.
