Homebrew demo Retro League GX "demakes" Rocket League for the Nintendo GameCube

Ralkila · Jul 28, 2021

Interesting, have you heard of the Chip Challenge port for SNES?

There are like 10 million Rocket League clones on App Store and Google Play. Some of them have been there for 5-6 years, like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ri.rocketleague

Or this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalpixelproductions.rocketball

And it's not like if Rocket League has been something original. Soccer games with vehicles have been there for decades:

Probably a dumb question, but can I run GameCube homebrew on a Wii or vWii? I'd think you can, but I'm not entirely sure. I found this, https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Gamecube_Homebrew_Launcher but it says it's dangerous as it alters the MIOS, and I specifically want to play this on a vWii of a Wii U, which makes me extra concerned about altering something like the MIOS on the system as I'm not sure if it's structured the same. Plus I have a feeling this is outdated anyway, I would think there would be a way to load GameCube homebrew via Nintendont, is that possible?

This is automatically inherently better than the actual Rocket League because it snips the lame hardcore-competitive-epic-gamer type of junk out of the original and leaves it as simply "fun soccer with cars"

You know there are casual modes in Rocket League right? People for the most part are pretty chill there too.

Looks more like an N64 or PS1 shovelware game.

Honestly, that's amazing and I'd love to play a bit of it; although playing it on a burned Retro League themed disc would be cool too!

I doubt so - making homebrew games from scratch is not illegal in most jurisdictions, and while the game clearly mimics Rocket League, Epic Games cannot sue someone for repeating a game concept either.

Just play casual modes, there's a lot of chill in it. For example, "Rumble Mode" goes full Mario Kart on the RL meta by adding in randomized items.

I mean, Look at MK Double Dash
I'm not a developer so don't hold me accountable for this
but these look like demo GameCube graphics, not GameCube graphics

i agree, he's just using shaded polygons and no textures

Xzi · Jul 29, 2021

The Gamecube is definitely capable of better graphics than this, but I wonder if a lot of the processing power is going toward recreating the physics, which seem nearly 1:1 with the original. Pretty neat regardless.

Amazing work by the developer! Loved it!

Crossplay between all the proposed versions would be pretty sweet.
