Ocarina of Time 3D Review (and piano mp3s)

Nerrel post Ocarina of Time 3D Review (and piano mp3s) from patreon

I wanted this to be up yesterday to mark the 8th anniversary of the US release, but there were a lot of complications and it got a little delayed.  This is the first time this has ever happened.  Anyway, it's here now and hopefully you find it interesting to go through the details of how the game was changed (spoile...

Video schedule and a dungeon tour

Nerrel post Video schedule and a dungeon tour from patreon

Now that this area is done I have all the footage for the texture drawing demonstration video I mentioned back in April, but I may review Ocarina of Time 3D first.  Next month is the eight year anniversary of its release and it seems like the perfect time to cover it.   The current goal is to get these both out...

Why Gamers Hate Motion Control

Nerrel post Why Gamers Hate Motion Control from patreon

It took so long to get this uploaded because I kept seeing new comments and arguments I wanted to address, to the point where it ended up being twice as long as the original motion video.  I feel like the two videos together sum up pretty much everything I have to say about motion, hopefully you've found them interesting...

Just a little longer...

A lot of things happened with N64 emulation this month and I got a little caught up testing various things out, so the next videos will be a little late.  The good news is that May will have a lot of good stuff to show; the Glid...

Official Authentic Formal Update Schedule for this Month

Nerrel post Official Authentic Formal Update Schedule for this Month from patreon

I'm working on two videos for April, the first of which is a continuation of the motion control video that I did last year.  This time I'm focusing on the responses that video got, which range from "reasonable rebuttals" to "third grader headbutting his keyboard."  The video will explore all of the wild misconceptio...

The nightmare is over, also MMN64 HD update

Nerrel post The nightmare is over, also MMN64 HD update from patreon

This was a very stupid thing I did over the past two videos and by extension it made everyone who watched it a little dumber.  I promise I'll never do anything like this prank ever again, for at least 364 days.

Patron-Exclusive Art Bundle

Nerrel post Patron-Exclusive Art Bundle from patreon

Time is flying- it's already NEARLY THE FIRST OF APRIL and I'm already at work on another game.  Here is a bundle of artwork for you to do as you please with- look at it, throw it away,  or start your very own Wand of Gamelon remake video!  Everyone's apparently doing it, god damn it!

Lisa: The Painful RPG Review

Nerrel post Lisa: The Painful RPG Review from patreon

If you've never heard of this game then I hope this convinces you to give it a chance.  It left a mark on me when I first played it and it was even better than I remembered when revisiting it to put this video together.  Thanks again for your support

MM Bay Area Textures

Nerrel post MM Bay Area Textures from patreon

This is the first half of Great Bay's update, the second will focus almost entirely on the pirate fortress and skulltula house.  There are a lot of instances where I wish I could edit the models and mappings here, so hopefully I'm able to do that in the near future.  Thanks again for your support and I hope you'll l...

Updates for this month

Nerrel post Updates for this month from patreon

I mentioned in the last post that I would be catching up on MM for a while, and since then I've finished roughly 100 textures and have gotten most areas of the bay done.  Each area grows in size as you go through the game, with the bay and Ikana being much larger than the first two, so I'm going to split this update into...

Resident Evil 2 Review

Nerrel post Resident Evil 2 Review from patreon

It's been a wild ride waiting for RE2 to get a remake but now it's finally over.  If you watched the fixed camera/over the shoulder comparison video then hopefully you'll be interested in seeing how I thought the remake turned out.  The texture project hasn't gotten much time over the past week so I'll be focusing e...

Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild Comparison

Nerrel post Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild Comparison from patreon

A few years ago I promised to do a review of these games, and now I finally have.  I was able to put the capture card I purchased with donations to good use and ended up with a total of 42GB of footage, which I'm told is a large number.  Thank you for continuing to support and I hope you find this interesting.  ...

MMN64HD Update

Nerrel post MMN64HD Update from patreon

This area of the game had more to research than most and I actually feel like I learned a fair amount while retexturing it.  Hopefully you enjoy looking this over while I build up a mountain of footage for the next commentary videos!

New News for a New Year

Happy belated New Year!  I try to upload something at least once every two weeks but it may take a little longer this time since I'm working on three things at once.  I'm finishing up another texture pack update (more about that below if you're interested) while working on the Skyward Sword vs Breath of the Wild vid...

Aside from the last post with the Tingle images, I haven't offered any exclusive content on this page.  I wanted to ask if there's anything that people would like to see more of and to gauge interest in a few ideas.

Behold: The Nerrel Holiday Special

Nerrel post Behold:  The Nerrel Holiday Special from patreon

Emulation is obviously very important for the projects I do and I've noticed a lot of people warning me on YouTube that Nintendo is going to "shut my texture pack down."  I've never heard of such a thing happening- I'm not making a fan game, just some PNG files- but at the same time I can't put it past Nintendo to go to any...

MMN64HD Temple Update + Holiday Special Plans (Yes)

Nerrel post MMN64HD Temple Update + Holiday Special Plans (Yes) from patreon

The second area of MM is now totally done, which is a good feeling but there's a lot more to do!  The next essay was going to be about the two most recent Zelda games (that's still coming), but first I want to do a holiday special.  "What the hell is he talking about?"  It wouldn't be Christmas/ Hanukkah/Kwanzaa w...

Capture card goal reached

Get your bodies ready

Nerrel post Get your bodies ready from patreon

Here are my thoughts on motion control and why it deserves a shot on every system next gen.  It didn't turn out as long as I expected, but it took longer than usual to get all the footage together.  Hopefully this interests you, and thanks again for your support!

Nerrel post I just Discorded from patreon

I've made a Discord server for questions or comments relating to either my videos or the texture project.  If you have questions or comments and want some immediate feedback on them, this seems like the place to do it.  


Also- the MMN64HD poll results (here and on YouTube) make it clear that the N64 versio...

Here's another look at the texture project, which has a few improvements thanks to the suggestions I've been getting.  Snowhead temple is the only area left in the mountains and will be the next update.

The next video essay I'm working on is about motion control and its adoption (or lack thereof) by each major platform. &...

Thanks to everyone who has offered support and happy Halloween!  After seeing people struggle with the tutorial I posted a while ago, I wanted to ask which emulation option people want to use.  Before voting, please consider this brief(ish) summary of the options:

Resident Evil 2 and the Difference a Camera Makes

Nerrel post Resident Evil 2 and the Difference a Camera Makes from patreon

Fixed camera and over the shoulder Resident Evil are very different things and people can be polarized over which is right for the series.  This video explores what makes each game style work and speculates about how the upcoming remake will have to change.

Thanks again to those of you who have supported me in this past month.  Most of you are probably here because of my commentaries and may not care about the texture pack I'm also working on, which is fine!  But I have put together a brief look at what I'm doing, how I'm doing it, and how to use it for anyone who is inte...
