Yeah, in the video there's also DQ Music and a DQ-ish logo for the actual NES/Famicom version.

So I'm guessing SE was more than happy to license out the material for this.

I tried visiting Mexico city.

I was spammed with Thief random encounters. Bad xp and even less drops.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's neat.

Probably April Fools, yeah, but still fun.

The streetvisw is cheesy, though.

Japan has had internet enabled SNES, there's really no reason this isn't technically possible, although it would definitely be a collector's item (as in, very low unit count) if they decided to produce it.

Also thanks for reminding me I need to do something to piss off my girlfriend today.
