Probably would look better on a video indeed. The rotating sprites in YI looks neat, but rather ugly when sitting still... I guess the case would be the same here.

Classic Wario, nice.

Eh, I believe that's probably bit of a mistranslation though. >> Or maybe they just want to confuse fans on purpose. xD The wording dosen't leave out the possibility for alternate outfits for other charcthers, just saying that Wario specifically is "special".

I thought about it, since it appeared in several hacks... but problem is that a air meter would prevent underwater stages. Or at least make them more frustrating.

Then, it probably works well as long there's a item to breath with, like you said. I can't imagine having too many underwater stages in this hack anyway...

Haha, I love that sprite.

Now if that fire works sound could be removed after the hit, it would be awesome.

Ah, Super sonic. That was kinda... expected as his final smash though. Not too surprising.

"This is a free game!"

Nice disclaimer. xD Must feel pretty bad for the poor guy who bought this tech demo. Knowing the GBA pirates, they just hack away that disclaimer... (so you probably should put it further into the game, or in several places).

Apart from the obvious bugs and no sound, it's pretty nice so far.

blackhole89: The running out of PP thing is part of the game mechanics. If all moves runs out of their PP points, the Pokémon will use a struggle move. This rarely happens in the any of the games though, so it's a game design issue. And I wouldn't blame too much on how the game and it's levels is designed, as it's a tech demo after all.

Music that would fit to a Mario game?

It dosen't have to be in the SMW style, mind you.

The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons: Season 10
The sims 2: Fashion stuff pack

That's uhm, about it really. There was some bunch of clothing, but nothing too intresting. And I get some money as well, which I plan to spend on some games tomorrow.

Why all those overly reactions over a tech demo?

Grow up people. It's expected to be buggy. I wouldn't care if there was a bug that would remove all data halfways. I don't care how hyped it was, but most of this thread was just a constant bashfest. Any further non-constructive bashing will lead to a ban.

There's a huge difference between criticism and flaming.

Criticizing would be pointing out that there's allot of glitches, but acknowledging it's a work in progress.

Flaming is saying that it's the worst thing ever because of said glitches, while using metaphors comparing it to other stuff.

Blackhole's post is a good example of good criticism. He still points out flaws and bugs, without having to use a single swear word or metaphors involving digested remains.

Does the trophy stand remind anybody else of Poké Balls or is it just me? Dragoon looks awesome too.

Same concept was used in Super Paper Mario as well. (With the diffrence that you don't throw the card at anyone, just using it).

Heh, Nintendo probably would mostly send silly photos and stuff. New stuff for the game would be cool still...

In other words, the SMW community now looks way more mature thanks to the Pokémon hacking one. xD

Crying over getting second place? That's pathetic.

To be honest, the only Pokémon hack I tried was Pokémon brown. And I didn't really get far on it too. But if I was voting on a contest, I would at least bother try testing the top five hacks or so before voting.

If you are willing to handicap yourself heavily, sure.

...really need to look over my team and finish the damn game. xD

Contra III as well here.

And good choice with Star Fox 64. I loved that game. We have it on our Wii, although I hadn't gotten the chanche to play it much... yet.

And unless it's a 2 VS 2 battle, it would only be useful for thrash talking. Same would be the case with Super Smash Bros Brawl...

Heh, it's tricky to balance difficulty, even if your goal is a challanging hack.

A common cheap trick is designing the level in a such way that the player have no idea what happens in advance (such as having to take a blind jump to the next platform...).

Hmm, only hack that comes up to my mind is Mario Adventure. For a non-mario hack, I do remember enjoying the Jonbound hack... despite it's limitations.

Platform games stopped being common a few years ago. There was a time when every other game was a Mario 64 clone.

Dunno if you should call Orange Box a game. It's more of a pack with games. Not that I disagree it with it being the best PC game.

Sure. Show off what you can do, and we gladly accept anything you contribute into this project.

We should probably put up a wanted page on the wiki... when it's up again. Which it will be quite soon.

That could work.

Could always give it a somewhat virtual world looks, with glitches here and there. Hell, I thought about having glitch levels... but with custom graphics for glitches so it actually looks like something and isn't really random garbage.
