While you've been able to play Rocket League for the Nintendo Switch for a while now, a new homebrew is going to let you get a similar experience...on the Nintendo GameCube. A developer has released their demo for Retro League GX, a homebrew game that aims to "demake" Rocket League, but on the retro GameCube. It takes the core concepts from Rocket League, such as boost, car and soccer ball physics, and goals, all in early 2000's graphical glory. Currently, the demo lets you fight against AI teams, but the developer intends to implement LAN multiplayer, with future plans for ports to other platforms, such as the Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation Portable, with the source code to be released sometime in 2022. Retro League GX is playable via original hardware or Dolphin.

I remember seeing something like this for the N64, which actually looked visually more the same to Rocket League. Dunno if I can find it anymore.

While I'm not particularly a fan of Rocket League, any homebrew releases for older systems is always awesome news.
I'll definitely be putting this on my sd2sp2 and giving it a go.

Early 2000s graphics?
They should have enhanced it a little more
Looks like rubbish to me

 

[BitMasterPlus]

Pfft, nice, I'd play it.

Yeah, they def should've given it PS4 quality graphics at least /s

Wtf were you expecting? It's a homebrew release for the Gamecube, and as such it looks pretty damn good.

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

The graphics seem intermediate between N64 and Dreamcast.
The menu comes from the 8-bit era.

I hate the ter "demake". It's made again, so it's a remake, regardless it is remade for a less powerful platform or features are reduce.

Yeah, but this is H O M E B R E W made by one dude ...it's not been made by the massive team of Nintendo's top tier devs that made MKDD

 

[UltraDolphinRevolution]

Cool. That is some dedication.

Not as bad as "disenfranchise" (should be just disfranchise).

Except 'disenfranchise' is the opposite of 'enfranchise', not 'franchise' - they have totally different meanings.

 

[Baoulettes]

In term of the engine itself it seem really solid gameplay.
It need some visual rework to make it way prettier and some better sfx + music.
But I am legit impressed of this, I wonder how real hardware run it

 

[banjo2]

Cool, unfortunate that it's not going to the DS though

 

[kidcharlemagne]

Seems more like N64 graphics with SNES sound effects, but I understand that it's currently just one guy working on it. If he can get some others onboard to polish it up a bit, it could be pretty cool.

 

[DKB]

oh shit i thought this was n64 lol

my brother loves Rocket League, so I had to show this to him. big props to the developer, I have respect for people that do stuff like this.

 

[SaulFabre]

That's pretty interesting that project of "demaking" Rocket League for the GameCube. I will try to see if i can play it soon...

 

[raxadian]

This is soo cool but it will be most likely be taken down.

 

[xkoeckiiej]

Sick :"D

Maybe not, the devs have never taken down bakkesmod/alpha console either, which actively impacts their ingame itemsales
