​
Crossover events in comic books, films, and games are exciting moments where multiple fandoms come together to settle the age-old dispute of “Who wins?”. Bounty Battle, the upcoming platform fighter gives the giants of the indie gaming world a stage to settle that dispute and introduce gamers to some of the coolest characters they may have missed out on.

​


The Ultimate Indie Brawler, Bounty Battle, is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC this summer. It features fighters from games such as Dead Cells, Darkest Dungeon, Guacamelee!, Axiom Verge, Jotun, and many more. Releasing on all platforms gives fans of these characters, no matter where they play, a chance to step into the shoes of a favorite once more!

Super random, it barely got a mention in the Indie Showcase, but it looks to be one of the more interesting games shown today. I'm skeptical, but interested enough to try it.

I was just about to comment that I was surprised it didn't get mentioned at all in the showcase. I guess it was so quick I completely missed it.

Barcode battler?

What's next? Food Labels The Card Game?

Otherwise, with how moddable Rivals of Aether (almost like a Smash Bros. MUGEN) is apparently if the following video is any indication, I think these characters would be done better there:

ClayFighter 63⅓ wasn't that bad, just overpriced and a tad too short. If you are playing on an emulator get the Clayfighter: Sculptor's Cut version that's way better.

Is hard to see the appeal nowadays but back in the 90s when we had ao many darn fighting games series? It was hilarious.

I love the idea behind this (even though it's sorta been done, but street fighter style) , but it seems sorta clunky.
I'll probably buy it for my couch gaming setup, but I'm prepared not to be blown away

I miss the time Ashens made good videos =(

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

As for the project it self, I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea. Doing "platform fighter crossover" is a bit of outdated gimmick at this point, and as practice showed time and time again, it's hard to recreate the same magic and polish that games like SSB provide (hence there's still only a couple relevant platform fighters at the moment). If anything, it feels like a waste of potential - such selection of characters can easily make for a stellar platformer or beat-em up, rather than whatever it is right now.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
