Renowned Valve title, Portal, got a fan-made «demake», called Portal 64, to run on Nintendo 64 hardware. As opposed to a remake, a «demake» is taking a modern game and rebuilding it in a more early gaming engine, such as the Nintendo 64 or the first PlayStation. With titles such as Resident Evil and God of War getting the same treatment, the goal of demakes is to take modern-day gaming concepts and see how much of the game can still be recreated using primitive methods.
With Valve's Portal: Companion Collection on its way to releasing Portal and Portal 2 onto the Nintendo Switch, this will be the first time Portal has been available on any Nintendo console. The first Portal game out in 2007, was initially released as part of The Orange Box bundle for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Portal shocked the world by being the favorite among the bundle, which was especially impressive considering the rest of the bundle contained Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2. Thus, Portal was later ported to more systems such as Mac OS X, Linux, and Android, and got a sequel called Portal 2 in 2011.
