Damn, this looks like a very interesting mod.
According to them it's going to work on the original N64.
It will include 12 new characters, 8 new stages and 25 new items.
Are you going to support them?

The new characters are Banjo, Conker, Goemon, Rayman and I think that Bomberman too.
I approve of Goemon
Not a huge Smash fan but I'm all in for Goemon
>>3909934
It's a massive texture mod with a few horribly animated custom moves thrown in.
I'd definitely play it still, but a $10,000 Kickstarter goal? This isn't happening. Also I'm pretty sure Patreon is a better place for projects that use copyrighted content. Also, Patreon would allow more flexibility with that $10,000. Wouldn't type all this out, but given how few views are on the video, I have to assume someone on the project will read this,
>kickstarter
are they stupid
>>3909934
This isn't legal, right? I mean, they can't formally accept money for this kind of thing, can they?
>paying for a romhack
I don't use this term often, but that's top fucking cuck.
There's two options: they either know how to do this and are money grubbing, or they're hoping they'll figure it out but they won't or it'll be c&d'd
>>3909970
>Please support our project, amigo.
>>3909934
>According to them it's going to work on the original N64.
Thank fucking Christ, so sick of every hack on this console being emulator-only. I long for the day we can just throw Project64 in the trash. Sounds like it would make Smash even better to bust out at parties though, if they can pull it off as described.
>that banjo
>>3910006
Actually just read that he wants $10,000...LOL. I'm pretty sure this is a scam, probably used the available N64 tools to put together enough shit to fit in 4 second segments of a trailer, and hasn't figured out how to actually make it work. Forget I said anything, fuck this guy.
>>3909934
>Are you going to support them?
You mean, am I going to pay for a ROM hack? Fuck no.
It looks like they're just shoving in existing character models they ripped directly from other N64 games, and giving them movesets, probably based on the game's existing moves. (i.e. The characters are probably going to be reskins of other fighters.) This hardly sounds like a feat.
>real hardware support
Gee, you think? Virtually any ROM hack is going to support real hardware if you're putting it on a Flash cart.
People do this shit because they think it's cool, you don't ask money for it.
>angry spic brothers deleting negative comments
This is fucking bullshit and it definitely won't hit the competitive scene.
I'd still take dreamland only against hordes of pikas and kirbys over this scam.
>>3909971
this. if nintendo is gonna C&D free fan projects like AM2R there's no way they'll let this slide.
>>3909971
yeah def legal and likely even more risky than making a public nintendo fan project because a) they're taking money b) they're using other company's ip's.
Looks fun and I hope it works on everdrive but i dont think it will succeed. hope it does.
>>3909934
Yeeeeeeeeey its another shitty skin hack that just replaces the skins but does not make actual different animations, programming, and hitboxes.
>>3909971
If the cemu wii u emulator people are making a lot of money maybe you can do the same with a patch of this game. But i think the goal with the 10.000 is waaaay too much.
Also this game must be a pain in the ass to hack. Like every n64 game.
I've heard that the smash 64 scene has been trying for years to add new characters but they couldn't because the code of the game is very dense or something. So this mod is kind of surprising for a lot of people.
>>3909949 here.
I didn't read it was a fucking ks.
Fuck them and fuck for using Goemon as bait.
>>3909934
I'd be a liar if I said this wasn't interesting, although it's a shame its a fucking kickstarter.
>>3909934
>that voice over out of fucking nowhere describing how to select the original characters
Also, do these kinds of things typically do well on Kickstarter? For some reason I thought of KS as being more for original projects and not fan works.
I for one are glad the creators were able to maintain the 12 original players in their roster!
as neat as it is to add new characters/stages, adding new animations and special moves is going to be very hard to get right.
anyone can import a model and throw it over a current character.
>>3910697
>do these kinds of things typically do well on Kickstarter?
They get fucking C&D'd.
>kickstarter
>for a smash mod
People have already done the work necessary and added most, if not all, of these characters into later Smash games.
Assuming Smash 64 is at all similar in its file structure, this would be an afternoon's worth of effort since all of these characters already have N64 models and skeletons.
Clearly, Kickstarter was a mistake.
I hope Nintendo gets on these people.
In before C&D and the resulting fanboy outrage at it
>>3909934
>Doemon = Fast Mario
>Banjo = Mario with better air
>Rayman = Mario with longer range
>Conckers = Donkey Kong but smaller.
And I have seen there bomberman WIP, guess what it is, its another fucking mario clone.
>>3910823
There really is not reason to even make this on the N64. They could just make a custom brawl hack to accomplish the same thing, and have it very easy to run on PC or an actual console.
>They can mod a custom physics engine.
>They can hack in low polygon models and stages

>>3909934

Hohoh
No
>>3910016
>Gee, you think? Virtually any ROM hack is going to support real hardware if you're putting it on a Flash cart.
Not really. In theory it should be true, but most all romhacks are tested on pj64, which is shitty HLE emulation, so loads of romhacks only work on pj64.
>>3910667
in your defense, that keyboard girl is really cute
>>3910697
>that voice over out of fucking nowhere describing how to select the original characters
Haha yeah that was amazingly clumsy. The dude's grating voice just popping in without introduction to answer a question that no one would have asked... not a sign of high professionalism.
>>3911380
I know
>>3910456
emulating hardware is completely legal, its only the roms/isos themselves that aren't
plus they're not charging for the emulator itself, they're just accepting donations
>>3911382
It's a trademark of pretty much all scam kickstarters, if you've ever seen any of Retsupurae's Kickstarter Nonstarter videos a massive amount have either a jarring random voice-over, a barely relevant clip, a huge volume spike, webcam quality footage, you name it. It's what happens when people with zero production skills or money try to sell you on something via video.
>>3909934
>crowdfunding a romhack
>>3913194
This is a dangerous and a saddening trend
>>3909934
Why the fuck would I pay for a romhack/mod, especially one that just changes the skins? Also,
>Implying this won't get C&D'd by Nintendo in three days
>>3914843
Mary is cute!
>kickstarting a romhack
Who the fuck these guys think they are?!
You don't own a game's licence because you make a romhack.
Hell, most of the times in the industry even the DEVS THEMSELVES don't own the games they make.
Jesus christ.
>Banjo's symbol isn't a Jiggy

Looks SEGA quality.

Fuck everything about this project

I mean it sounds cool but

I'll give it three days at most before Nintendo hits them with a C&D.
Wtf?? Are they retarded?

Yes!

Maybe they should fix the horrible slowdowns, terrible AI, and allow it to use the expansion pack first.
>>3909970
It's a spic in the video, so yeah.
>>3910016
>I've never played a n64 rom hack
That's great but pretending you now anything about them is retarded.
I want this to succeed
so bad
but I do not want them on kickstarter or asking for money
Nintendo should let people do this not for money obv
they should do new moves too
if they add peach im set
>>3909934
>kickstarter for a fan-made romhack of an existing game using other company's IPs
What?
>>3910456
Console makers can't shut down emulators. There's precedent for this in the form of the various Sony vs. Bleem lawsuits.
They can, however, C&D fan games.
>Actually getting based Goemon in a Smash game
>>3920693
Banjo
where is my gex
mischief makers
andglover
>>3909934
Banjo and no Kazooie?? What?
Shitty skin mods with no real changes to the moves and somehow made other animations worse?(Yoshi's roll looked atrocious)
The new items did nothing new and he's asking for money? KYS
What is the 10k going toward? Hiring an actual programmer for the 24 character thing to even work?
>>3920707
glover is already the final boss mate ;)
>$7 pledged of $10k
wew, surprised they haven't gotten the C&D hammer yet
>>3909934
>Are you going to support them?
Hopefully no one does. It's cancer like this which is destroying the mod/romhack/fangame community and Nintendo NEEDS and is in full right to C&D you assholes.
