Creating a retro game style type cinematic/cutscene

Hi im making a 3d topdown game and i want my cutscenes/ cinematics to be like in the retro games. What i mean is i want the head of the character to appear at the beginning of the level and bellow it the text is generated and you press a button to continue.For instance lets take Pokemon for gameboy. And i dont know how to do it. Can i make it in unreal or do i need to make them?

I need something like this PewDiePie Legend of the Brofist Walkthrough Part 1 No Commentary - YouTube . Do i make it in unreal or do i use another program ?
