Fan-made N64 demake sends Silksong back in time — I shudder to imagine playing it with fifth‑gen controls

You can watch Barros’s full behind‑the‑scenes video — it’s in his native Portuguese — in the embedded clip above. Barros has also stated that the piece is “more of a scene than a game” for now and isn’t available to download, though he said he’ll “think about” turning it into a full release. Barros confirmed this on X.

As striking as the demake looks, I can’t help but imagine how brutal it would feel to play with an N64 controller and the fifth‑generation’s notoriously slippery inputs. Players who finish games like Silksong clearly have nerves of steel, but forced through thirty‑year‑old controls, I suspect even the toughest would struggle to complete it.

Silksong is far tougher than Hollow Knight, and my theory is that Team Cherry accidentally evolved into architects of cruelty.
