Can you remember back when I covered Game of Tobi getting the original source code of Super Mario 64 running on the GBA? How about when he got Super Mario 64 running inside a PDF? Well, Tobi is back with a project to get one of my favourite Zelda games, Twilight Princess, running on the 3DS!
I'm a big fan of Tobi's work and how he pushes the boundaries of old tech, and also how much he loves his work. Once more, he's working with the original source code of the game, and while there are obviously a lot of bugs that need to be worked out and the gameplay is running slow and crashing, it's very much identifiable as Twilight Princess despite currently being what I would fairly class as being pretty unplayable. But hey, it's a start!
Still, Tobi has confirmed his suspicions that the 3DS can handle games like Twilight Princess, and if he can get it to actually show 3D graphics that look like they're popping out of the screen at some point in the same vein as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, then I'll be very impressed.
As with a lot of Tobi's projects, this is one I'm going to be watching closely. He seems to be someone who is constantly tinkering with new ideas and working on multiple projects at once, which I respect - it helps to keep things fresh and come back to other ideas, or at least that's how my brain works at any rate.
Head to Tobi's YouTube to keep up to date with his progress and to check out the other ports that he's been working on!
