Super Smash Bros Rumble (DS)

Any thoughts? I just thought this was interesting.

I think that it would be a pretty damned cool idea if Nintendo themselves (not a set of indie game developers) attempted to port SSB (Super Smash Bros) in some shape or form onto the Nintendo DS. Again, any thoughts?

I have also recently discovered their main website and community in which they've programmed and made this game.

At first glance it looks pretty cool. I would like to see a video of gameplay or something to determine if it has the goods.

Indeed, I looked all around their website for game-play footage but I could not find any. I just came to the assumption that they are just starting, but I could be wrong.

Well you can always try to run the demo on a NDS emulator, since its probably really basic right now, it should run

I downloaded and gave it a go on my DS. Its very unfinished but you can see some of the gameplay in there. I dont really like the idea of a fanmade super smash game, if you have ever been on the game maker community you would have played 1000 games (gross exageration) similar to this.

If you really want super smash bros. style fighting on the DS i recommend Jump Ultimate Star. Although it only comes in japanese :P

p.s. Last update in april 2008. Have they stopped making it?

I don't think so. The guy that was mostly working on it, was kicked out of the group, because he was trying to program it without basic knowledge of C or C++. At least I'm quite sure he was dropped from the team. When the game first started, it was really going great, but the person originally making it released the source code and gave up on it. So many fans took over. The team changes so often, and the code has been restarted. Since they took over the original work, I haven't seen anything worthwhile, sadly.

I know that when I was looking into gba dev, I found a ssb fan game, I played it on an emu and it was really basic, but very promising. You could tell the people really cared about the feel of the game, all they had though was a walking/jumping kirby model, and a dummy mario, but all the screen zooming and stuff looked great. I have no idea what happened to the project, I think they stopped working on it...
