In an NES!
Yeah I agree, it's not really using the NES except for power delivery and as a pass through, much in contrast to add-in chips.

It was a SNES game is so much as it was released by Nintendo for the SNES. But it also used contemporary hardware, and wasn't it also just a CPU rather than an entire computer? This 'Doom on a SNES' isn't anything like. It's just using SNES as a video digitiser and output for a completely different machine. That's like me using a realtime video digitiser on an Amiga and piping Horizon Zero Dawn into it and claiming a 1 MB, 7 MHz 68000 is running what it takes an 8 core, 1.6 GHz (2000x faster) CPU and 1.84 teraflops of GPU (crazyx faster) to do. Very big, impressive number comparison; complete bollocks.It's still going through the PPU though.
Indeed, this is similar to the Doom is running on oscillator.It was a SNES game is so much as it was released by Nintendo for the SNES.

This NES is not running DOOM. This NES is outputting an alternative video feed from an alternative hardware source. That's the accomplishment here.
Edit: And this is an important distinction. If you only watch the first half of the video, you're wondering what kind of incredible optimisation made this possible, especially when the guy says it's genuine. Of course, no amount of optimisation can make that possible, but it means understanding retro gaming because hardware if people are going to palm modern technology off as retro by slapping it in a retro looking case.

I was impressed by the daytime changes in the video but other than that I agree with you. There is nothing else I found impressive. To be honest I find the footage below mediocre. There were games that easily put this into shame. Especially with games like Super Mario before it I have no idea how anyone would find this game good.Outch, that article didn't age well now did it.
Personally I never managed to get through the overly verbose intro of Symphony, but I know its lauded as a classic of the series and the MetroidVania genre as a whole. While Castlevania 64 gets youtube videos saying it's not THAT bad afterall...
And while at it, I fail to see what John saw in that game. He calls the stiff and janky animation excellent, when most other games that year were dabbing in MoCap with much more fluid results. He compliments the controlls as he misses a jump. He says the gameplay is fun as he fumbles through enemies and buttonmashes his way against the boss while being hit multiple times. Everything about the game, while not necessarely horrible, is quintessentially mediocre, even for the low bar of ps1/n64 3d games. Maybe it gets more bashing than it would if if were not Castlevania, but it still surely does not need to be picked up and remembered as if it were a forgotten jewl. Gem it is not, more like a plastic bracelet that now is discolorated and a bit moldy as well.
Sometimes really don't know what is it that some retrogamers like about gaming at all.
perhaps it was because I was unbiased and just wanted to play N64 roms -loved Diddy Kong Racing to death- but years ago when I wanted to play other Castlevania games rather than the ones I had finished -Castlevania IV, SOTN, and Rondo of Blood-, I decided to try other Castlevania games and both games for the N64 were a breath of fresh air.Outch, that article didn't age well now did it.

DF Retro. Turok Dinosaur Hunter and the remaster. I only played the game via emulation. Dunno it it was Turok 1 or 2, but the female voice of the intro was imo one of the most sweet female voices I've ever heard.

The 90s were very raw with their claims
