(concept mockup screens)

I thought of a really cool concept for a new Megaman 2 hack, which I'm thinking about making. I really want to make a complete Megaman hack (new levels/graphics, asm, music, etc.), but before I go back to doing that, I was thinking about doing a cool Arcade-ish hack that probably wouldn't take as much time as a complete hack would. It would put a different spin on an already great game!

The hack is called Mega Man II Arcade. Here are some of the changes that would be done:

• Change title screen. Add the words ARCADE, remove the easy mode, change the difficult mode to "Insert Coin".

• Remove NEW GAME and PASSWORD screen. After pressing start on the titlescreen, it takes you directly to the stage select screen.

• Levels are different, but use the same palettes and graphics. Enemies are more plentiful. Killing enemies gives you points.

• Adding a score at the top of the screen, just like in Megaman 1.

• Add a High score table that shows up when you get Game Over. You can type your name in a list, which shows the high scores, and saves them to SaveRAM.

• The Game Over and Get Weapon screen has no password option. There is no password or saving in the game. Just the high scores get saved.

• Game Over screen instead says Insert Coin, and has a timer that counts down. If you don't press start before then, it takes you back to the startup screen.

• Completely Redone Get Weapon screen.

• Bosses have new behaviors.

Feel free to weigh in. Do you think this is a good idea? Would you be interested in a hack like this? If you think this is a good idea, do you have any other suggestions or ideas? I would love to hear what you think!

Combine that with the LUA Script of Kuja Killer and you get a freaking leaderboard on Internet.

However, that script would need heavy tweaking so it would work with your arcade game.

Now that Megaman Origins is out of the way, this was the next project on my list. I'm thinking about starting this soon.
