Retro gaming is being overrun with AI
TL;DR
Retro video games are everywhere lately - especially in places where they aren't supposed to be. Halo in a web browser, Wind Waker on the iPhone, Super Smash Bros. in mixed reality. Over the past month or so, these kinds of unexpected projects have gone viral with incredible frequency thanks to new AI tools, as hobbyists take apart games and then rebuild them for new platforms.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, this is a useful test case for the limits of AI-assisted reverse engineering: verify the rights chain, source material, and reproducibility before treating a port as a dependable product. Reconstruction may become much faster while maintainability, fidelity, and legal control remain unresolved.
