I didn’t ever think there would be nostalgia for the CDi games!
I would buy it for sure, throw in Hotel Mario and I would easily spend $60-70.I'm still expecting a collection with the Zelda CDi games
Was this teased before or elsewhere, or is this behind the scenes talk?Very cool, happy to finally see the announcement!
Nintendo will ensure that never, ever happens.I'm still expecting a collection with the Zelda CDi games
You should play the Remastered versions made by the guy who is doing this game. He fixed every control problem from the original game and fixed the physics. (Nothing to do about the backgrounds and hit boxes though.)I’m fine with the cheesy animation and voice actors, but I hope this is actually fun to play. I laugh at the CDi games as much as anyone, but having actually played them at a friend’s house back in the 90’s, I assure you that they have absolutely dreadful gameplay.

I am sure it will play better; I feel this project has had more development time and care put into it than the CDi games.I... I hope that at least this plays better than the games it weirdly took influence from.
hell yeah bro! this looks sick, great work!Hey yeah this is my game! So happy to finally announce it. I have assembled a stellar team of collaborators to help me bring this game to life. I'm very proud of it and hope you look forward to playing!

The person behind this project completely remastered the two CD-I games to play much better. Having played those versions, I think he's up to the job.I also feel if your going to take inspiration from games that are notoriously bad, you have to have some ideas on how to improve them, for as bad as the Zelda CDi games appear to be they at least have some charm to them.
I wasn’t aware they had been remastered, that is great to here that improvements were made and will/are going to be implemented in Arzette.The person behind this project completely remastered the two CD-I games to play much better. Having played those versions, I think he's up to the job.

There’s some Familore I’m missing here as a new-ish member.We all pretty much owe Famiboards to this game's creator, so support him! (Or be irresponsible like me and double dip)
"Audacity" is right hahahThere’s some Familore I’m missing here as a new-ish member.
Definitely snagging this on Switch. While I have no nostalgia for the CD-i Zelda games, the audacity of even attempting to make this game is right up my alley.
Can you talk about the CD-i Zelda games, and your own experience with them?
Yeah! My first experience was like a lot of people: the memes, the video remixes and stuff. But you know, I have a soft spot for games that are perceived as 'bad' or underloved. So I really latched on to it. Especially because I really liked the art style, and the cutscenes, and also learning about why the games were the way they are, with all the development constraints. It’s really charming to me.
I saw the potential in those games and I wanted to explore them, and hopefully show people that if you have enough time and resources and a good design, things will turn out good.
Is there anything else about Arzette that we didn’t touch on yet or that you haven’t shared with the general public yet?
Well, working with Limited Run has been excellent. They’ve been really supportive. Working with all of my collaborators has been excellent; they all understand the project and what I’m going for, and a lot of them are my friends and this was the game we were all sort of waiting to make. It feels excellent to finally make it.
There’s a lot of surprises in store, and a lot to love about Arzette. I didn’t make this game as a joke, I made this (with) a sincere attempt to make a good game with those aesthetics. I hope that it shows in the final product.
Hello, I am 'the developers', haha. Was a great interview and I'm glad my goals for the game are now better known.there's an interview with the developers up on Nintendo Life, it goes into detail about how they're taking this project completely seriously.
You can now wishlist the game on Steam:
