Skyrim Meets Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy


Somehow the retro visuals and references to classic games make this unofficial Skyrim trailer the best one yet.

Tired of hearing about Skyrim yet? Don't answer that. I'm gonna show you this trailer anyway.

That clip was uploaded by YouTube user "RubberRoss," and though its not officially sanctioned by Bethesda, it really, really should be. And Nintendo. And Square Enix. And whoever owns the rights to Ski Free.

I'm not saying that Skyrim would be a better game if it let you shoot 8-bit dragons with a 25-year-old Zapper, or if you were constantly being menaced by stick figure yetis, but actually yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Basket shenanigans [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114172-Barrel-Aided-Crime-Spree-Ravages-Skyrim] are fun, but everything is more epic when seen through the pixelated lense of misplaced nostalgia.

What's that? A 28-year-old clinging desperately to the fleeting joys of his childhood? I know, we're just full of cutting edge material, aren't we?

That's awesome but this guy has a bit too much time on his hands me thinks xD

 

[NathLines]

Did he scream "mustard pie"?

 

[SnakeoilSage]

Mm, that music reminds me of the original DOOM soundtrack. I started hearing zombies growl and the sound of imp fireballs flying at me.

Ooo that's good Nostalgia.

The guy is a (sort-of?) professional animator on the internet, so yeah, he usually does.
OT: Yes, this is awesome, and hilarious.

"But, there is one they fear... in their tongue, he is 'Dovahkiin' - DRAGONBORN!"

Even the retro version of this line gives me shivers.

That was awesome.

That blasted snowman from Ski Free...I never could evade you! D;

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Worth it only for "hail to the Kiin, baby."
Actually, pretty good all over

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

That was awesome, I would play it...if they ever made it.

 

[Fasckira]

I want the backing mp3, awesome trailer. Not as awesome as the new Harry Partrige animated one mind!

 

[Frost27]

I would absolutely play that! That was fantastic. Though he should throw in a cooking mama style blacksmithing.

Love the retro vibe, though I am glad that a game as expansive as Skyrim waited as long as it has to appear, it would suck if it was stuck on an old cartridge, those things have shit for memory so it wouldn't be anywhere near as long.
