Fort Apocalypse Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Sega has come out with a neo-retro mock 8-bit title for the Wii (WiiWare) called Pole's Big Adventure that is a satire of 8-bit games (which finally answers the questions: "What if Mario had a gun?" and "Can Mario eat so many mushrooms that he gets bigger than the screen?", although it is Pole, not Mario).

J.Max Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've always thought it would have been a natural fit for Sega to use Sonic the Hedgehog to satirize videogames. Imagine a hyperviolent "Grand Theft Hedgehog" or "Resident Hedgehog". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Looks fun. I want it. I don't have a Wii though so that might make things a bit difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a hyperviolent "Grand Theft Hedgehog" or "Resident Hedgehog". Well Sonic has become a satire of himself, so Sega's getting close.

johnny_boy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks like a mix of Alex Kidd and Commander Keen, gameplay-wise. Not impressed with the graphic design choices. Retro doesn't have to mean bland and blocky - just look at Mega Man 9 or, even better, Cave Story. Maybe humour could rescue it at this point, to me, but even then, it'd simply be a one trick pony. I've seen better Rom hacks than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've seen better Rom hacks than this. I'm with johnny on this. That game looks like shit. Even the original Super Mario Bros. graphics were better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
