The 2019 NESmaker Byte-Off Awards

Yes, people are making new games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and they are amazing! The NESmaker Byte-Off Awards are the capstone of the Byte-Off competition, where users were given a month to create a playable demo based on a provided theme. This year’s theme was “This world needs new heroes.“ This tongue-in-cheek award show parody is also very real and sincere in its celebration and recognition of this year’s creations by the NESmaker community. You can get started developing your games for the NES as well, at Hosted by: Joe Granato and Austin McKinley Featuring: Howard Phillips, Marc Ericksen, Justin Vachon, Amanda VanHiel, James Landino, Kirsten Sponseller, John Riggs, Joe Alonzo, Bryan Bernal, Josh Fallon, the 8-bit Internet Troll, musical guests Space Raft, and dozens of new pixelated icons.
