There's also an Elden Ring demake for Gameboy[1] (which Iron Pineapple reviewed favourably[2]), a Bloodborne NES demake[3], and Yarntown which is Bloodborne demade as Zelda[4]. In summary, I don't think the art of handheld[5] demakes is at all lost.

  There's also a de-make of the intro to Disco Elysium[0]; because the game is so text-heavy, the entire script can't fit into a 128kb Game Boy cartridge. Along the same lines, there's also the "fantasy console" Pico-8[1], which is designed to mimic the limitations of old handhelds, but with some modern development improvements. It features a number of de-makes, including Street Fighter[2], DOOM[3], and OutRun[4], which can be played in a browser.

Note that this is a PC game using the Unity engine, not an actual PS1 game. It just attempts to vaguely look like a PS1 game.

My favorite handheld port is this fan-made port of Tomb Raider to GBA. It's not even a demake, just a really optimized re-implementation of the engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVSLcqGP7g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVSLcqGP7g
