If you want to see retro done right, you've got to check out '8-bit DJ Hero.' This game was made by Eric Ruth and is an 8-bit remake of what DJ Hero would look like if it were made for the NES.
The 8-bit DJ Hero game features NES-quality sound and graphics and only two buttons on which to scratch and spin with. Despite the technical downgrade, the game looks incredibly fun to play and can actually be downloaded for free. Check out the demo video above. Hipsters, this is how you do retro.
