Getting to play as X or Zero in the classic Mega Man games. I know they'd be overpowered as fuck but that would be the fun of it.

it took until 5th gen console before TMNT arcade could be recreated properly on home system

[Anonymous No.8251272]

>>8251263
Nice, wall-jumping and dashing could really work with the existing level layouts.

>>8251267
The difference is that the NES version wasn't really trying to "recreate" the arcade; it's basically a reimagining tailor-made to the system limitations, and plays very differently.

Mariokart 64 with tracks all physically shrunk by about 30% in all dimensions so they're narrower and slightly shorter. And the most irritating items removed, or even just the SMK ones retained. Accel characters with top speeds reduced slightly.

>Balance

SOTN has the worst drop-rates in the franchise. I saw randomizer racers from speedrunners who barely knew how some weapons worked because they never got them normally. The Game needs to improve the drop-rates and then you can give any enemy in the game the hp of the galamoth

I remember playing it on an emulator with autofire and rewind function (like a chump) and it was surprisingly fun

>>8252536
there's this guy working on a "hack" like that, it started as a rom hack and became a recreation of the whole game with autistic attention to detail, however, he's been working on it for about ten years and he switches the game engine and starts from scratch every couple years, so I don't think he'll ever finish it.

What if it were Milky Way Wishes style powerups? And since we're fantasizing, you get to combine them like Crystal Shards so every one you find unlocks a progressively larger library of fusion abilities to progress and find treasures?

[Anonymous No.8252719]

>>8252708
>What if it were Milky Way Wishes style powerups?
I considered that since it's the more traditional Igavania style, but at the same time, a lot of the challenge in the normal Great Cave Offensive comes from carrying abilities through an inconvenient area to a puzzle/barrier which can only be solved using said ability. If it was done Milky Way Wishes style, the powerups would have to be spread out much more slowly to prevent the game from being too easy from spamming Hammer all the time. That, or maybe a mana/energy system added to balance things, but that would also be a bit un-Kirby imo.

Fusions could be cool though. Alternatively, rescue your animal friends and then recruit them Kirby's Dreamland 3 style.

[Anonymous No.8252725]

>>8252719
>Igavania power ups

Has anyone played rpg's?

[Anonymous No.8252739]

>>8252725
There are a variety of RPG spell/power-up mechanics, but the Milky Way Wishes style is pretty much identical to Aria of Sorrow et al.

[Anonymous No.8252816]

>>8252702
its um Final Fantasy but with NES characters instead of classes and their powerups and other mechanics are their spells. And the monsters are all ripped sprites from other NES games.

This got me thinking, why aren't there any rebalance patches for sotn? Shouldn't it be as easy as tweaking a couple of values?

[Anonymous No.8253342]

>>8253332
There are, but most of them wreck the balance for different reasons.

[Anonymous No.8253349]

>>8253332
>Shouldn't it be as easy as tweaking a couple of values?

Not really no. There is a "hard type" but SotN has so many different OP moves it's hard to balance it all. In the hard type stat values are different but you can still spam spells or shields special attacks for instance

[Anonymous No.8253350]

>>8252816
This looks really fun, good luck with it
Lots of interesting things in this thread actually

[Anonymous No.8253359]

>>8253342
Even if fan modding could be trusted to properly deliver good design tweaks and balancing, it would require extensive playtesting by people unfamiliar enough with the game to provide good insights (and people unfamiliar with a game are very rare in a project build around said game if it's even anything but a one-man project anyway).

[Anonymous No.8253482]

>>8253349
There's one called "SOTNFairAndKind" that supposedly redoes the enemy scaling to better resemble how Bloodstained did it (with optional weapon rebalancing and randomizing effects). I don't know how successful that was for the whole game as I only got as far as the Werewolf/Minotaur fight, but I definitely had to pay attention more as the enemies were tougher but still reasonable to beat.

there is an autofire hack that makes it easier, autofire makes a lot of early ordinary nes shooters a lot more fun

A 16bit river city ransom style game with Asha and Wonder Boy set in monster world.

[Anonymous No.8255650]

>>8255000
It all depends on what you need. In the case of TMNT2, to make OP's pic work you need more palette slots than there are on NES.

You'd also notice that each turtle has its own unique animations but in TMNT2 the pattern table is already full with 2 turtles and it's not like you can swap the tiles when needed considering you need all at the same time.

tl;dr 4 player games on NES work because all 4 players use the same art and the same 2 palettes (or sometimes 3, leaving only a single part for the rest of the objects in the world);

Sim City for SNES with taxation that doesn't take fucking ages to get anywhere without cheats. Also add demographic functionality to schools, hospitals etc.
