ROM Hack New Metroid Bros.

[luckwii]

Right now, I am playing the game over and over catching every bug, boring part, missing whatever, etc. Trying to get the final touches on it. There are also a few areas that are really hard to program left. But main focus is stability. No new levels planned, just cleanups.

Okay

SKJmin is almost done with the walkthroughs for SMB3 2.5. So make sure and check that out. I think this weekend he will be done. After that he is going to help debug and revise NMB. This should speed up the final revision. Meanwhile, I haven't slowed down at all. There is so much to do it is rediculous, but the majority of the large bugs are gone. Every level has massive programming and things going on.

Another thing I have been up to is gathering data for all the sprites in NSMB. You will see a lot of this in all the other NSMB hacks. As I go through my hack, I find out new things we can do with the editor. So overall, my time spent is not only making my hack cool, but helping everyone else to have the tools to make their hacks extraordinary. And behind the scenes as well Dirbaio, along with other NSMBe developers are making huge strides from the coding end. So all in all, with the downfall of the DS, we still have some really good games on their way. Not to forget, Mega Mario and his development of the Mario 64 DS editor.

Yeah
Finished wit hrecording, just merging all separate vlips into one movie now...
I hope everything will be online in some hours!

Also version 2.5b (or 2.6)
Just a major fix of uncountable bugs and very minor changes!

After that I'm going to make the real job! Version 3.0!
More in my topic tomorrow^^

Very fun! I got myself trying to figure out WHY THE HELL the morph ball is so solid... How do i get it? Then i got back to the real world and noticed it was NSMB after all haha! Very good hack, keep going man. I wish you someday put a 3d rendered Samus there (actually i was amazed when i knew about the game thinking she was already there)

Good luck, man

Anything new to report? This is like the last DS game I'm actually interested in, so I'm kinda anxious to give it a go. Still, I'd rather play the completed build rather than a beta build that may vary quite a bit from the final build.

An update on your progress keeps community interest going.

Its so fun, i have such a hard time getting through it, which keeps me going at it like crazy! If this was a sellable game, it'd be a bestseller

 

[LeonardoFM]

This game is a little frustrating... Its difficulty is even higher than the original game's which was already frustrating at some points... But that issue aside, the game is good for NSMB fans thirsty for a sequel that never saw the light

Making it harder than the "original" one is really not that hard
But I can confirm... Even "I" had problems to beat the first world of this hack
It's even harder than mine...

SKJmin there's this second stage of your hack with the addition of a "bonus" where we had a pit on the original SMB3, and man, i have to say... This "bonus" is so hard to reach (overall playing on the actual DS itself) that i don't even mind going down there anymore haha

I think it's a problem that some people don't notice when level editing because they got carried away, that they've crossed the line between something that's fun for both casual and hardcore gamers and something that's basically irritating or frustrating... Not that it's their fault or something, but if they're gonna change that because they want or because they're being told to, that is something up to them.

I used to hack and level edit SMW a lot but screw that shit. There was a time when i've spent the whole day basically hacking that thing

EDIT:

SKJmin, on a side note, how is the progress of NSMB3 --- 3.0 going, man? Are we far away from it yet? I can't wait to play it, difficulty-wise aside.
See ya!
(yeah, a little later for editing this but whatever)

Hey Leo, how is your hack going? Haven't seen you for a week on MSN now... Everything sup?
Do you have a Youtube channel? PM me or get on MSN please

 

[Vampire Lied]

Good to see you're still hacking away Luckwii.
I've been waiting to see some activity here but didn't want to nag about it. Final release is gonna be epic! I'm anticipating this more than some retail games.

Hey man, i dont have a YT channel because my bandwidth is not great for uploading videos. But i do have a Youtube account, so if you want to add me there just tell me your username and i'll add you. My hack is going slowly, but steadly. I wish i found people interested in testing because sometimes it's a pain in the ass to come back to older levels just to make sure of something, and the touch screen is horrible for this process (world switch). If you know of somebody, anybody, interested, please let me know dude.

 

[triassic911]

Is this game completed? I would like to try it but the first post is not very clear on whether the game is done or not. Thanks.

 

[Vampire Lied]

No, it isn't completed. It'll be very obvious once it is and will probably also be featured on the front page.

OH MY GOD! I am glad I returned this looks awesome!
