First and foremost, this is all just hypothetical speak for the time being. Don't be sending me messages down the road that are all like OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS?!
With the recent release of the MVS dev guide, I've been able to figure out how to program for the blasted console, and it's actually pretty fun to do once you get the hang of it. (less annoying than PS2 coding)
My initial project was a mock up of the old SNES Power Rangers side-scroll beat em up with better music, 2p support, and just looked better and was more challenging. I ran into an issue where I wanted the big boss fights to act somewhat like teleroboxer and utilize both players sticks, but I can't get it to work in a single player game, so that's on hold until I can figure out what's up.
The other project is an enchanced port of Mega Man X, longer levels, balance tweaks (some weapons were just too powerful whereas others were awful), better music (I've come to realize I LOVE the soundchip for this console), and would utilize memorycard slots to save progress as opposed to the shitty password system.
My main question I suppose is this. Would the community even be remotely interested in something like this if I was to actually do it, or would it become useless shovelware that no one would even pay attention to. Or for that matter, things that you think would be cool that isn't a fighter, shooter, or puzzle game.
