It's 12 bit, faggots use 12 colors instead of 8 because they're hacks.

lets get these out of the way because posting them might as well be cheating

I like listening to these oscilloscope videos and watching the waveforms dance around. These are my 4 favorites

>>386554659
Sorta true. They used four extra colors the NES couldn't handle to make some sprites look cleaner, mostly in the floors/walls. The music is authentic 8 bit instruments, but they use more sound channels than the NES could play at once.

I knew this, so like I said, it's 12 bit.
They use 12 channel music and 12 colors, making it 12-bit game.

I don't even understand what the fuck happened, since MT1 OST is better in KMT than in NES MT1, but MT2 in KMT has flat out worse music than NES MT2.

It's fake 8bit. Still good. 8-Bit refer to NES era of stuff, and even if this was not done on a system with 8 bit of memory, it still tries to emulate it while not being restricted by horrible tech.

I still can't believe people made music with those horrible built in PC speakers everybody used to have. This one blew my mind.

Too bad the actual game is pretty shit.

>>386556874
You're wrong. Yes, Shovel Knight cheats, but you're ignorant of the NES's hardware. The CPU was 8-bit, but the color palette and sound channels were not. The NES color palette is actually 6-bit. The NES has a palette of 64 colors, but there are multiples of black so that gives it a usable palette of only 56 colors. An 8-bit color palette would actually consist of 256 colors. In addition, sprites were limited to three colors plus transparency and had to be 8x8 or 8x16 in size depending on the mode chosen for the game (the vast majority of the games used 8x8 tiles). Those limitations were cleverly used in later titles to make a full "sprite" have more than 3 colors via overlapping (like Mega Man) and placing sprite tiles side by side. Each tile was still limited to 3 colors and transparency.

I don't know what Shovel Knight uses for its extra sound channels, but the NES sound hardware used two square waves, a triangle wave, a noise channel and a DPCM channel.

9 of the blacks are identical, giving the NES a functional palette of 56 colors.

Transparency is the absence of color information in a particular sprite. Even if you counted transparency toward the NES's color palette, it still wouldn't be 8-bit color.

Mostly hardware limitations. This is what the hardware could produce so they it just filled the remaining adresses with black.

They could still use tricks to create other colors by doing mind tricks to make your mind see colors. Kinda like how all you see right now is Red Blue and Green but you think you see more than that.
