NES Unreal Overlay is a real-time Unreal Engine visualization system that transforms classic NES games into immersive 3D environments while preserving the original gameplay.

Designed as both a technical showcase and a tribute to one of gaming's most influential consoles, the project bridges classic 8-bit gameplay with modern real-time rendering. Rather than replacing or rewriting the original games, NES Unreal Overlay interprets gameplay information and recreates the action inside Unreal Engine, allowing players to experience familiar adventures through fully realized 3D environments, dynamic lighting, cinematic camera work, modern visual effects, and high-fidelity assets.

The goal of the project is to honor the creativity of the Nintendo Entertainment System while exploring how classic gameplay can be presented through contemporary rendering technology. Every visual enhancement is intended to complement the original experience, preserving the gameplay that players remember while presenting those worlds from an entirely new perspective.

Currently in development, NES Unreal Overlay represents an ongoing exploration of retro gaming, real-time graphics, and modern game-engine technology. The project continues to evolve with new rendering techniques, expanded visual systems, and additional features that further connect the timeless design of classic NES games with the capabilities of Unreal Engine.
