If nostalgia for 1990s gaming has led you to wonder what Helldivers 2 might have looked like had it been released during that era, amidst a plethora of media exploring similar themes and narratives, consider yourself fortunate. A notion has emerged among the fan base for a faithful 16-bit demake of this game, with some enthusiasts expressing enthusiasm to collaborate with Arrowhead Studios to integrate their project seamlessly into the actual gameplay.
As the latest Main Orders continue to flood in, certain divers have become increasingly preoccupied with datamine rumors and potential warbond breaches. Regrettably, presenting this information may undermine its effectiveness in guiding your efforts to optimize routing for the Automatons, as the current approach of dividing their forces in half has thus far been successful.
Here’s the 64-Bit Helldivers 2 demake for Neo Geo and arcades – check out the video below. While serving as a tantalizing preview to a project in development at Newgrounds, this collaborative effort has been meticulously crafted by a team with extensive experience in creating engaging content.
Here’s a glimpse into alternate realities: Imagine the visually stunning Elden Ring on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or the whimsical Palworld on the Nintendo DS, with fan-made renders offering a fascinating ‘what if’ scenario. Their latest work does a commendable job of distilling the frenetic energy that defines Helldivers 2 and transplanting it into an old-school aesthetic that somehow feels like it’s been reinvigorated by having 15 copies of Demolition Man on permanent repeat at home, just in case something happens to one of them?

It was an absolute blast making it! Here’s an improved version: One of the creators, nbshar, noted on a Reddit post that “we all know it’s only a video and never really playable (although we might consider making extra playable demakes at some point)”. They also added roughly half of the content: “We’d be open to exploring a minigame concept within Helldivers 2’s ship mode if Arrowhead/Helldivers reached out, and we’d definitely consider it.”
Despite the possibility of jest, it appears a significant number are genuinely hopeful that the studio behind the popular first-person shooter series will follow through on their claims, as evidenced by the multitude of users eagerly waiting for a response from Arrowhead Game Studios’ Chief Creative Officer Johan Pilestedt, who is being heavily tagged in Reddit comments. Despite all the challenges, wouldn’t you want a compelling reason to resist the urge to leave your dropshipping business and abandon it altogether?
As I anxiously await the next combat mission, my eyes gleam with anticipation at the prospect of immersing myself in the intense action and adrenaline-fueled thrills that only Helldivers 2 on the original Sega Genesis can provide. Tell us under.
