NES Classics Like Super C and TMNT Headed to SNES Through Infidelity's Ambitious Ports

Renowned Nintendo ROM hacker and NES-to-SNES porter Infidelity has officially announced plans to bring three beloved Konami NES games—Super C (1990), Contra Force (1992), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989)—to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) later this year.

This latest venture continues Infidelity’s growing reputation in the retrogaming community as the driving force behind a wave of ambitious NES-to-SNES conversions that have garnered significant attention among fans of classic Nintendo games. In recent years, the hobby of porting NES classics to run natively on the SNES hardware has steadily gained momentum, with Infidelity establishing himself at the forefront of this niche development scene.

Previous successes include ports of iconic titles such as The Legend of Zelda, Punch Out!!, Metroid, and most recently Mega Man VI, which debuted in May 2024.

These projects have consistently been celebrated for their technical merit and for preserving the gameplay integrity of the originals while leveraging the capabilities of the SNES. Unlike conventional remasters or remakes, Infidelity’s approach to NES-to-SNES ports prioritizes performance enhancements over graphical upgrades.

The primary objective is to eliminate longstanding technical limitations inherent to the NES versions—such as slowdown, sprite flicker, and memory constraints—by taking advantage of the SNES’s more robust hardware architecture.

These improvements often include expanded ROM size, implementation of MSU1 audio for high-quality soundtracks, and even FMV-style cut scenes, all while maintaining the classic look and feel of the original games. Following the initial release and recent updates of Mega Man VI and the 2024 SNES port of the 1988 Famicom version of Contra (now available in English), Infidelity revealed via social media that work on Super C, Contra Force, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is next in line.

No official release schedule has been confirmed for these ports, and the order in which the titles will debut remains undecided.

However, Infidelity continues to keep the community informed of progress through regular updates on platforms like Twitter/X. For fans and preservationists, these ports present an exciting opportunity to experience some of Konami’s most celebrated NES-era games with modernized reliability and expanded features on authentic hardware.

As Infidelity continues to expand his impressive portfolio of NES-to-SNES conversions, anticipation is high for what these technically enhanced re-releases will deliver. To stay current on the development timeline and forthcoming releases, interested readers are encouraged to follow Infidelity on social media for up-to-the-minute updates on these anticipated SNES ports.
