D-Pad Hero is a really cool homebrew game for the NES and it’s pretty easy to see where the game draws its inspiration from, which is Guitar Hero and its ilk.
The game is freely available from the developer’s website in ROM form. While you can run the game on an emulator on a PC, check out the following videos whereby the game is played on the Nintendo DS with the help of a flashkart and nesDS, a NES emulator for the NDS:
It’s really scary playing the game on the DS, its as tough as nails. Some of you may have notice that the videos taken were during the game’s listen mode. I won’t be posting up a video of me playing the game; it’s too embarassing with my ineptness.
