SUMMARY

Super Nostalgia Wars is a fullgame I am creating using the Mugen engine. The point of this project is to create a game based on 2d sidescrollers, mainly using sprite styles with realistic proportions similar to Castlevania, Actraiser, and Contra. The games mentioned will also be included in the content.

SPRITE SIZE COMPARISON CHART



Please, when suggesting a new char, take this image on consideration.
A char won't be ok for the project if:

• If its bigger or smaller of the sizes allowed. This applies to human chars only. Robot, monsters and whatever are okay.
• If its superdeformed (big heads, big arms, etc) - So, no Mario, Sonic, etc
• Its out of proportion. For exemple, Shinobi is taller than Hulk, something impossible.
• Style clash too much. Exemple: NES chars, heavy blackbordered chars, etc

CONFIRMED CHARACTERS

Very sweet idea. I like what you have done so far.
Will there be some stage interaction at some point, as it would really add to the "side scroller" feeling, especially if a character in his stage has access to particular objects others can't.

[Ohzemesmo]

Nice! 

I also think a stage interaction is in order for the whole side-scrolling felling, since it`s a full game, with simple chars, you could add this without many dificults. So far, it`s pretty impressive. The gameplay seems solid and fun.

May a sugest some you put some Snes beat-em up chars? Also, Magical Sword and Strider.

[Iced]

Lovely, I wouldnt worry too much about some being slightly smaller, wolverine is supposed to be really smaller than cyclops.

for stage interaction you could put aerial and ground based enemies spawning every so often, that could be killed for powerups.

[MDI]

As far as stage interactivity goes, I don't see much going on there aside from perhaps destructable objects. Mainly because I would indeed like the enemy fight portions to just be totally linear, like a beat em up. As opposed to say platforms to walk on as well as exploration.

I might get to all that stuff last, and just take care of the playable characters and bosses first. But yeah, I'm really excited to eventually start working on the enemy portions of the game.

Also, I'm not sure about putting in beat-em up characters. Most of the time they are quite large and would be too tall for this game. The Sailor Moon sprite shown in the image I put is an example of a character that is just barely too tall for this game. Although I would love to mess around with some Strider 2 stuff, I'm not sure how I would go about ripping or aquiring sprites from that game. Even if I did have an emulator capable of disabling layers for that game, the sprites are constantly zoomed in or out. Otherwise I'd definitely try and fit some of that stuff into this game.

Next character on the agenda, Sheena from Run Saber. (Girl next to Cyclops in the image.) She uses a lightsaber type weapon, a slide, and a spinning energy jump similar to Samus Aran's. I'll more then likely make the jump a more effective attack for the game. I'll see about additional attacks or her ice attack from the game.

[Randomish]

Any chance we can have special intros with everybody like in SVC.

[O Ilusionista]

very sweety idea. Go ahead!

Any chance we can have special intros with everybody like in SVC.

^THIS

[MDI]

Its always possible, but if so then the top priority would be to have the intros made only against boss characters.

Although I'll probably keep Vs mode enabled, I want more emphasis to be on fighting the big baddies rather then the protagonists against one another. But yeah, I don't see why not!

Sheena is nearly finished btw.

By the way, anyone in Germany will not be able to view the video. Why you may ask? Because I used a Castlevania song owned by Sony which apparently isn't good enough for Germans! Yay! Enjoy..if you're in any other country. Stupid ass Youtube..

[Tamez]

Looks pretty cool, man. 

Once again added the cool PoR stage intro effect.

Yeah, PoR is awesome I'm currently finishing my Richter/Maria run. 
Speaking of PoR, Laura would be a cool addition to the roster if you hadn't considered her yet.  And the Dark Academy would be a nice rain stage.  Either inside or out. 

And of course there's always Skyblazer to get stuff from.   

[MDI]

As you can probably see on my Mugen website, I have indeed done a few PoR stages.

The game really does have some neat looking areas. Expect more content from it for this game.

[Cybaster]

Cool video.

[MDI]

This Portrait of Ruin talk inspired me.



Glasya Labolas aka creepy bulldog with griffin wings is being made, and I also did the Great Stairway stage to go along with him.

[MDD]

Damn, this is original. Also, the inclusion of Red Arremer makes me happy.

[Tamez]

Glasya Labolas

Nice!  It had probably the coolest death animation in the game.  Vapula is probably the only one who compares.

WOOF

Also, I've got a Run Saber bonus stage going on.





As well as Salome from Symphony of The Night. Just in time for Halloween!

Update! New Character!

Apologies for the double post, I simply wanted to bump this topic due to the update.

His sprites come from the Nightmare Before Christmas game on Gameboy Advance. He has a pumpkin toss, frog spray, bat boomerang, and a basic non-projectile slash or two. I'll probably add a move using his "melting" sprites from the game, but otherwise all I'd really like is some voice clips of Jack if I can come across any.
