Yes, that's right. The Shenzhen Nanjing Technology Company have released a remake of Final Fantasy VII ... On the NES!
Of course, it's completely unofficial. But what makes this fanmade game so amazing is that most of the FFVII game is exactly identical to the original. The storyline, the Materia System, the Gameplay ... It's all there! The only major thing that is missing is Yuffie and Vincent, but I guess they had to make sacrifices.

Look at some of the screenshots, and see if you can recognise what part of the game they are showing.

Someone, or some company rather, has made what was once a pipe dream come true: Final Fantasy VII on the NES. Unfortunately, neither the cartridge nor the ROM itself is branded with a release date, so I have no idea when this happened. All I know is that it was tagged NJ063 by the unlicensed cartridge factory, and was programmed by Shenzhen Nanjing Technology Co, Ltd, a company which now produces MP3 and MP4 audio players.

From start to almost finish, the game follows the PlayStation port. Key dialogue sequences are completely identical, such as when the group finds what Sephiroth did to the Midgar Zolm to when Cloud freaks out and hands over the Black Materia. Aeris tells the drunk old dressmaker how Clous has always wished that just once he could dress up like a girl. Dyne and Barrett have the same conversations as in the PlayStation original. Nothing is missing or out of place.

That said, there are some condensed scenes.

    I heard this earlier today as well....It is missing Yuffie, Vincent, (as it was said), no chocobo racing/breeding, and I think a few other things from the main story >_>

      Dude, copyright issues are still present even though the system is dead and not selling anymore. Just because something is no longer popular doesn't mean it's copyright just goes away.

      The reason why they're not doing anything is because they're not charging for it, it's free.

    Why couldn't they get rid of Cait Sith instead of Vincient!!!

      Because Vincent (and Yuffie) were 'secret' or optional characters. Hell they weren't in the ending.

      This does look pretty neat, nonetheless.
