Pokémon meets Street Fighter should be a thing.

YouTube Preview ImageNintendo take note. Smash Bros. is great and all, but having a 2D fighter in a Street Fighter like style looks pretty fantastic if you ask me. This fan mad fighter has so much polish that you would think Nintendo and Game Freak were actually the behind the project. The game is in beta right now, and you can actually snag yourself a copy right here. Better act fast before Nintendo’s lawyers get wind of this and send a sternly written cease and desist letter.

Fan made project such as this really excite me, even if they do infringe on a copy written piece of work or two. Remember Pokémon World Online, the Pokémon MMO? I suppose if Nintendo isn’t willing to make one, all it takes is a few dedicated fans to take up the torch. I hope this Pokémon fighting game grows legs, and evolves (see what I did there?) into something with a larger roster and a less bugs. Oh and as for Nintendo, you can have all my Pokédollars if you give me this, or a Smash Bros. style fighter with all the Pokémon. Promise.

Nintendo needs to hire this guy, stat!

YouTube Preview ImageI’m not sure if you’re aware, but I’m a huge Zelda nut. I love my Zelda in all shapes and sizes. Handheld Zeldas, Celda Zeldas, even Smash Bros. Zeldas. This next Zelda I’m about to show you blew my mind in more ways then one. Animator Joel Furtado also likes his Zeldas, difference is he’s a lot more talented than I am, case in point the above video.

I would love to see the inevitable Wii U Zelda take an art direction similar to what was done in the video. It’s equal parts awesome and fantastic, and was obviously created by a fan who loves the series as much as the next guy, or maybe even more. I know that the video is all CGI and doesn’t contain a lick of what could be considered gameplay, but come on! Doesn’t it look fantastic? So what are you waiting for Nintendo?! Give Joel Furtado a call, like, yesterday!

With the recent news about Mega Man 10 coming to WiiWare in 2010 a lot of people are speculating about Sheep Man and what the two player game play will be like. I, however, am more curious about what new robot masters they are going to come up and if there is going to be more robot women to fight. So I decided to look into all the past robot masters that Mega Man has originally fought, ranging from the elemental masters, to the amazing and power robots like ring man.

It was then that I happen to stumble across Mega Phil X and his creative Mega Man 10 fan project that he was working on way before Mega Man 10 was in existence. I have to say he came up with some awesome robot masters, as well as some kicking Capcom-eque music.

Shadows of Lylat: Star Fox fan-game not at E3

Remember that Star Fox game we didn’t hear about at E3? Well here it is – Shadows of Lylat – a Starfox fan-game that looks good enough to press, package, and sell in stores.  The only problem? It’s not for the Wii.  Shadows of Lylat is built on the Freespace 2 Open engine, a cross platform space simulator engine built from, you guessed it, Freespace 2.  When finished, you’ll be able to play the game on PC, Mac, and Linux – and well, MAYBE on the Wii too, if you’re into that “grey area” homebrew stuff.

Barrel roll past the break for a trailer.

Final Fantasy VI DS Rumor was a Fan Made WIP

If anyone remembers that article I posted a while back about a rumored remake of Final Fantasy VI? It would seem that the creation was not actually made by Square but by a very dedicated fan by the name of Edward. Spoony Bard jokes aside, it would seem that he found our article and gave us the 411 on the info. So if you are interested in his art you can check out his deviant art page.

Sorry for the confusion guys, but in all seriousness, who wouldn’t want to see a 3D remake of Final Fantasy VI?
