Smash 64 HD

[Serilei]

I started a "graphical only" project for the original Smash Bros. 64.

It is my own personal little project and I have no way of making a game out of it, nor will I. I do not have skills for this.

This is just to relive nostalgia, test my skills on remaking old stuff and just feel good about it. I hope this has a great nostalgic effect on you as well. I would love your feedback.

This looks really good! Even just for the menu screens

 

[Nixon Corral]

These are some neat renders!

I wish Nintendo would undertake this project, but I'm not sure they see a demand or reason to make a remaster of a previous Smash game. It's a shame too, because things like Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD have done well. An HD remake with a perfectly ported Smash 64 physics engine would be really cool. Same would be great for Melee too.

Unfortunately, like I said, I'm not sure it'll ever happen. Still, great work on these! Maybe one day we will see a community HD remake of 64.

I really wish too. I know that they could take some basics from SSBWU, move some code around, make some new graphics recreate the stages, they could have this out in 6 months to a year tops. I guarantee you it would sell like hotcakes.

But again, I am living in nostalgia land so I will just waste some more time recreating other stuff.

I tweet these to Sakurai and I hope he sees them atleast, even if he says nothing. I hope he follows the SSF2THD path somewhere down the line.

Thanks for your input though, I appreciate it!

Thanks very much, I plan on recreating more menu screens in the future.

soo many memories

 

[Serilei]

soo many memories

You aren't lying either. I remember 18 hour days beating up friends and being destroyed as well xD I still play it from time to time, which is actually what sparked this idea.

 

[Serilei]

I am about to add more updates very soon

[Kahnu]

[caneut]

[Madao]

I'm very impressed by those pictures. Nice work!

Please keep it peaceful.

 

[TheRealBlueBlur]

Words cannot describe how much more professional this looks when compared to other N64 texture packs.

Keep up the great work!

 

[Smash Arena]

An HD remake of Smash 64 would be great! Looks good so far!

 

[Auroxen [sbvpXVII]]

Wow, this really looks awesome! I really hope that this project will be completed although I can understand the difficulties.
Also I think that you should use the SSB4 art for Ness.

 

[crysisnova]

Nice i love it

 

[Swagathor]

That menu looks great! I think i would prefer a PM look though, over a SSB4 menu.

 

[Auroxen [sbvpXVII]]

I noticed something only now: the Customization Button. Why is it there? Anyway I think that instead of the SSB4 style, the menu should be in the original 64 style but simply HD (and brighter)

 

[Spoice]

I think this is more of a 3DS project if I'm honest, I could see it working better on that platform, and at that time we get Melee re released on the VC for Wii U. Seems fair in my eyes,

 

[Swagathor]

I think a remake of either SSB64 or Melee would be huge for nintendo. It would actually make me WANT to buy a Wii U. Im surprised they havent done it yet

a remake?
they would try to balance the games and ruin it, they would never ''remake'' it
and a port would cause massive frame delay which is super gay

 

[Pazzo.]

Wow... Now I want HD 64! XD

Nice renders. Even if the game was, say $15 dollars, I'd buy it.

Their loss. I think the majority of smash players don't sweat the graphics as much as other video game players. I still play N64 and i love it, i dont care how ****ty it looks.

 

[Luigi-man]

I'm really curious about how this is going to look like. Is it just Smash 64 in HD? Are you going to use the old moves and physics?

 

[Serilei]

Updating the OP. New Start Screen

 

[Manaburn]

Seriously amazing work! If you don't mind me asking, how long did this approximately take you?

Thanks a lot. Some of these took a few hours maybe, and for example, yesterday I did the start menu in about 45 minutes. I will fix this up a bit more though and start editing more stuff and see what I come up with.

 

[Serilei]

Updated again.

Level 9 just wasn't good enough lol

Updated OP

Something on the way

 

[Uair]

Are you using Rice or Glide for the texture dumping/loading? Have you considered patching the textures to the rom?
