I kinda want to pick up Hyrule Warriors.

Some different items, but no swords? I guess you'll just have the one sword then, Master Sword is my guess.

No, there are multiple swords, but this is a side mode, not the main game.

I know it's a side mode. Do you not use swords in this mode?

The Famicom arrangement for reference to the extra sound channels not used in the nes theme.

I like the famicom chimes better than whatever synthesized 8 bit instrument hw was going for... Except they are obnoxious in the beginning. Aces around 1:30 when they drop an octave.

Shame the nes got gimped so hard compared to the famicom.

Didn't know that. To be flat honest the first note you hear at the 18 second mark in the Video I posted of HW. Sounds just like a PC Engine CD sound. Heard a few very much like it. So got me more nostalgic for Turbo CD than Zelda lol

It's because the actual fighting takes place in a Hyrule Warriors setting. At about 10 min

Yeah, the famicom and nes hardware is actually virtually identical, same exact processors and everything, the difference is the pins in the cartridge slot, the famicom had an audio in and out pins that went to the cartridge, meaning if you put an extra processor on the cartridge, like a sound chip, you can use it in tandum with the nes audio.

Well, at 72 pins, the nes had 12 more than the famicom, unfortunately, they were mostly used for the nes security chip, while the expansion pins were routed to the belly expansion port. which were commercially never used.

You can, in fact, mod the nes to in fact use the extra sound channels rather easily, with a famicom cartridge converter, resistor (47k, however I used a 100k pot so i could adjust the volume) a capacitor and a little wire. You basically need to get Famicom cartridge pin 46 to expansion port 3.  To do this, you route Famicom pin 46 to NES pin 18 (using wire, resistor, and capacitor) in your cartridge converter.  Pin 18 goes to expansion pin 40, which isn't what you want.  So, you connect expansion pin 40 to expansion pin 3.

Unfortunately, while i modded my nes... I have yet to get a famicom game to try it....

I still prefer the NES Zelda tune.

The adventure mode seems really good, but when they showed the first image, i thought you could replay Zelda 1, NES Remix style. Turns out you can`t...

Still, would love to replay Zelda 1, NES Remix style, one day.

Crossing my fingers to it becoming a reality as DLC!
