Any chance older consoles will ever get new releases?
Jeff:
Homebrew is software made by hobbyists for systems without having a licence from the hardware creator. They can either be totally original games (like Super Bat Puncher), hacks which are alterations of old games, or just a software program (like a media player for the wii). The new dreamcast games would be considered homebrew, I believe.
Most of these kinds of games don't get mass produced because they can just be played on an emulator or a flashcart.
Arseen:
To name few good ones:
SNES
- Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds Redone 1.1 (or non-redone version = original, if you prefer hellish difficulty).
- Super Mario World: Return to Dinosaur Island.
- Super Mario World 2+1 (I call it Yoshi's Island 2)
- Super Mario World 2+2 (I call it Yoshi's Island 3)
- Super Metroid redesing
NES
Too many good Zelda, Zelda 2, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Castlevania and Mega Man 1-4 (5&6?) hacks to list.
