Super Smash Bros. NES (Ideas)

While I have no capability of actually bringing this idea to life, I'd at least like to talk about it and maybe get some feedback? :3 For awhile now I had the idea of a Super Smash Bros game based on the NES or 8bit era. It would inly feature characters that came before the SNES era Here's how it would go...

CONTROLS: The controls would be based on an NES controller. D-pad to move, up to jump, A for standard moves, for special moves, Start for pausing, and Select for shield. Because of the NES Controller's limited buttons and limited hardware the NES has there would be now Taunting, Grabbing, Throwing Characters, and Smash Attacks (due to limited hardware). You would have to really on your standard and special moves but the final smash would still be in the game.

FINAL SMASHES/Smash Ball: The Smashball it self would rapidly change colors like the Starman in the original Mario Bros. but would move in only straight directions. Left, Right, Up, Down, and Diagonal. Some Final Smashes would be changed for that era of gaming.

CHARACTERS: Like I said they would be from the NES/8Bit era, this is includes the veterans to. I could not find an exact year as to when the 8bit era ended. Even after 16bit consoles were released there were still many NES games being made.

VETERANS from other Smash Games:
-Mario (Side Special Changed to Wrecking Crew's Hammers, Down Special is the stone statue the Tanooki suit would let you turn into, Final Smash is changed to StarMan)
-Luigi (Final Smash changed to Warp Flute from Mario 3, it would out everyone in a tornado they can't escape from)
-Peach
-Bowser (Final Smash changed to Bullet Bill Cannons)
-Dr. Mario (Final Smash is changed to a game of Dr. Mario where pills fall from the sky)
-Link (Final Smash would be changed to the gathering of the 3 triforce pieces)
-Ganondorf (in the form of Ganon)
-Samus (Final Smash would be changed to Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash in the 3DS game where she shot lasers from her ship at her opponents)
-Kirby (Up special would be turned into the JUMP ability, and Final Smash would be Crash)
-Meta-Knight
-King Dedede
-Donkey Kong (in Arcade form) (Standard Special would be a simple barrel throw, side special would be the same thing but with the bouncing springs, down special would be the same but he'd use his feet like in the intro to Donkey Kong, Up Special would use the spring as a recovery, and Final Smash but be like the one Donkey Kong had in Super Smash Flash 2, another fan game, where DK would get behind the screen and throw barrels)
-Yoshi
-Marth
-Ice Climbers (Only a single Ice Climber, the default is Popo but Nana is an alternate costume)
-Mr. Game and Watch
-Wario (Side Special would become his charge run, Neutral Special would be his Fire Wario form but he shoots 2 fire balls at once, and his Final Smash would be his Castle from Mario Land 2)
-Pit
-Palutena
-R.O.B.
-Duck Hunt
-Little Mac
-Snake
-Megaman
-Pacman (Would have alternate costume for Mrs.. Pacman and Pacman Jr.)

NEWCOMERS
-Toad (Super Mario Bros. but became playable in Super Mario Bros. 2)
-King Wart (Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic)
-Ridley (Metroid)
-Nightmare Wizard (Kirby's Adventure)
-Jump Man (Donkey Kong Arcade)
-Donkey Kong Jr.
-Medusa (Kid Icarus)
-Gyromite
-King Hippo (Punch Out!!)
-Inky (Pacman) (Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and even the forgotten Inky and Spunky would be his alternate costumes)
-Protoman (Megaman 3)
-Bub (Bubble Bobble) (Bobble is an alternate Costume)
-Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy)
-Legendary Wings
-Blaster Master
-Tetrad (A tetris block as a playable character, would change to different shapes depending on what moves are used)
-Bill Rizer (Contra) (Pfc Lance and Ken are alternate costumes)
-Simon Belmont (Castlevania)
-Power Glove (Like how R.O.B. was a peripheral turned into a character. Power Glove would move like a smaller Master Hand)
-Ballon Fighter
-Clu Clu (Clu Clu Land)
-Mike Jones (Startropics)
-Mr. Stevenson (Gunshoe)
-Keiji Thomas (Kung Fu)
-Mach Rider

STAGES:
-1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)

-Subcon (Super Mario Bros. 2)
-Air Ship (Super Mario Bros. 3)
-Hyrule Feilds (Zelda)

-Zebes (Metroid)
-Butter Building (Kirby's Adventure)
-Fountain of Dreams (Kirby's Adventure)
-75M (Donkey Kong Arcade) OR 100M
-Yoshi's Cookie

-Green House (Game & Watch)
-Wario Woods
-Mario Land
-Over-World (Kid Icarus)
-Stack Up (Rob designed game)

-Dracula's Castle (Castlevania)
-Balloon Fighter
-Race Track (Excite Bike)
-Dojo (Kung Fu)
-Year 2112 (Mach Rider)
-Devil World
-Nintendo Sports (based on Nintendo's collection of sport games on the NES like Hockey, 10-Yard Fight, NES Open Tournament Golf, and Golf)
-Mario Bros.
-Pin Ball
-Short Order/Eggsplode!
-Over the Manholes (Urban Champion) (You could also defeat your opponents by meteor smashing them into man holes like in Urban Champion)



ASSIST TROPHIES - They'd work the same except you'd have to break the Trophy with your own attacks to use it.
-Lakitu
-Hammer Bro
-Guardian Mask (Mario 2/Doki Doki Panic)
-Boom Boom (Mario 3)
-Mother Brain
-Metroid
-Mr. Frosty (Kirby's Adventure)

-Reaper (Kid Icarus)
-Duck Swarm (Duck Hunt)
-Mr. Dream (Punch Out!! formerly known as Mike Tyson)
-Guard Dogs (Metal Gear)
-Metal Man (Megaman 2)
I could not think of any others

SECOND EDIT:
Newcomers: Wild Gunman (with alternate costume for Hogan's Alley), Rash (Battle Toads) (Zitz would be an alternate Costume)
Stages: Final Destination, Battle Field, Nintendo Entertainment System
Assist Trophies: Birdo, Mecha Dragon, ExciteBikers

What do you guys think? Would you buy or download a game like this? Even if it didn't have Pikachu, Cpt Falcon, or Fox and would be kind of limited in controls?

I'd try it. It seems like a neat idea. However if we wanted to be REALLY hardcore, there'd only be like 8-10 characters like Smash 64 and only about that many stages. Mostly because of space restraints.

If there was a NES Smash roster, I'd predict:

Mario
Luigi
Link
Samus
Pit
Kirby
Little Mac
Donkey Kong Jr

as the roster.

If were going retro here we might as well should only stick with characters available during the NES era:

Starters:
Mario
Link
Ice Climber
Little Mac
Samus
ROB
Game And Watch

Secret Fighters:
Luigi
Duck Hunt
Ganondorf
Pac-Man

Stages:
Final Destination
Battlefield
Mushroom Kindom
Hyrule Catle
Summit

Secret Stage:
Nintendo Power Glove


NES games were simple and couldn't hold a lot of space so it wouldn't be nearly as loaded as any of the recent installments

I would definitely give it a shot, it would probably work well as a downloadable eshop title. With the success of nes remix this could actually be something people would pay money for. Personally my ideal roster would be.

Starters
Mario
Link
Kirby
Samus
Peach
Pit

Unlockables
Luigi
Ice Climbers
Lolo
Megaman (special 3rd party unlockable)

Starmen in in Super Mario Bros jump in an arc, so moving the smash ball around like it currently moves wouldn't be a problem. Think about walking in a circle in games like TMNT2 and Battletoads.

Yeah, but the movement would be kind of awkward, and how they might have to limit the speed and movement of the smash ball. I can move in a arc and curve but very strangley

You forgot the only character that hasn't been in a smash game that still needs to be included: Cranky Kong.
