Somehow Super Mario Bros CD feels like a lost Nintendo game that could have 100% launched alongside the cancelled SNES CD attachment like Sega had Sonic CD for the Sega CD when that came out

and it's every bit as impressive so far as anything Nintendo could come up with back in the day. Feels wholly unique while also maintaining the classic SMB gameplay loop we all grew up on

Def worse ways to spend an hour this holiday weekend thats for sure

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Looks kind of.. interesting. Like a weird mix of SMB and Sonic CD. May check it out.

 

[ManaByte]

So it’s a fan game?

 

[HRK69]

Fan made trash

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This is fucking UGLY.

But that music is swanky as hell.

That dude, when speaking, has the cadence of a flight attendant giving the pre-takeoff instructions. I was waiting to be told to fasten my seat belt.

Game looks interesting.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Even though the Super NES CD deal fell through and Nintendo ended up sharing the licence of Zelda and Mario with Phillips, this game could easily have been made for the CD-i from the deal Nintendo had with Phillips at the time...instead of the shit-show those games on that platform ended up being...

 

[Northeastmonk]

Miyamoto didn’t like the idea of a CD. He preferred the cartridge. I read that in the Console Wars book.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So it’s a fan game?

Ya. Fan project googling it.

Game looks ok. A demon child mix of NES and SNES. Skimming some music tracks, it does sound good though. This would be wild music if released back in the day.

Playlist in YT.

 

[Spukc]

eww DUDE

Fasten your seatbelt

 

[tamago84]

Music is nice

 

[MayauMiao]

No way it could have been a SNES CD with that level of graphic quality.

 

[VGEsoterica]

No way it could have been a SNES CD with that level of graphic quality.

But it’s running on SNES currently

 

[MayauMiao]

But it’s running on SNES currently

Could have been fan made homebrew game. Mario sprite should be better on the SNES.

 

[daffyduck]

 

[PauloRoberto]

It feels strangely like a '12 bit' mario game.

 

[cartman414]

A proper SNES CD game would account for the spec upgrades.

This certainly ain't it.

 

[kevboard]

I really dislike the walk/run cycle he has... looks choppy and just off...

 

[Pimpbaa]

Definitely don’t look like a 16-bit game. I know it’s fan made but definitely worse than super Mario world, and that how a super limited amount of rom.

 

[Unknown?]

Fan made trash

Better than Miyamoto.

 

[bender]

Better than Miyamoto.

There was really no spec bump for SNES CD. It was just an alt means of loading data

 

[VGEsoterica]

It feels strangely like a '12 bit' mario game.

It does have those vibes. Like an expanded SPEC NES or a slightly less powerful SNES

 

[DeepEnigma]

Looks worse than Super Mario World.

And goodness, narrator. Breath and pause in-between your sentences more.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Controls are fine and, as mentioned above, the bgm is great.

Added.

 

[daffyduck]

Looks worse than Super Mario World.

And goodness, narrator. Breath and pause in-between your sentences more.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nah, I just clicked close.

 

[Davevil]

what the fuck is this monstrosity?

 

[RoadHazard]

I only watched a bit, but how is it impressive exactly? It looks like a SNES game with NES sprites, SMW looks way, way better.

 

[poodaddy]

Game looks absolutely atrocious, I mean impressively awful, and it's like a passion project that noone asked for or even wants to boot; just so odd that someone devoted so much effort to this.

That being said, the music is stellar and very impressive. Whoever's responsible for that, I hope they continue to put out more game OST's, as they're made for this and they have that lovely 90's sensibility too, very cool.

Game itself is trash though.

 

[Jack Package]

I don't get it. Is it meant to be what we'd get if the original NES got a cd add on? But it runs on a snes, which would never have 8-bit based graphics like that...

It doesn't make any sense.

 

[marquimvfs]

It does have those vibes. Like an expanded SPEC NES or a slightly less powerful SNES

It's graphics are allright, but the color pallette looks limited, like a simpler Mega Drive game.

 

[DarkStream]

Fasten your seatbelt

Thanks, finally I can rest!

 

[Hudo]

It feels strangely like a '12 bit' mario game.

What if Nintendo had made the PC-Engine

thanks for bringing this to my attention, i enjoyed the previous demo a lot. how much more content is in this one? last only had 2 levels...

 

[VGEsoterica]

3 more levels for a total of 5

 

[Hookshot]

All those levels look nasty with foreground and backgrounds being too similar. Even in the clip he falls in a pit because it's brown on brown with brown as the floor.

 

[lestar]

This looks nothing like something nintendo could have release on the snes playstation

 

[saintjules]

Hah, is the intro of that video Mr. Mister - Broken Wings playing in reverse?
