Do you think Sivak...

will ever continue his battle kid series like alot of the other franchises? Super Battle Kid?(SNES) Battle Kid in Fortress Land? (GB) Battle Kid 64?

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Unlikely. He's learned to program the UNROM board on NES in 6502 assembly. I don't think he has any intention at all on making games for those other platforms, especially not the N64. Then again, I'm not him. Try asking him yourself.

[Jack7]

good point. tho the n64 one was kind of a joke

[Shulamana]

Every time I see somebody bring up the topic of possible N64 "reproductions" or homebrews, they seem to be shot down due to it being just too complicated and there not being enough demand, flash carts being a totally different beast.

I thought I heard on All Gen Gamers podcast that he was working on a sequel, could be remembering that incorrectly though. Unless he was a huge fan of the SNES (which I don't think he is, at least not to the same degree anyway), he'd probably think it would be easier to make more, better NES titles if anything, than spend a few years learning how to program decently for the SNES hardware.

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Yes. He's currently working on Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Torment also for the NES with the same UNROM mapper.

after time of course that should change, i mean try telling yourself ten years ago that it would be possible have an nes reproduction cart of a japanese game. plus my theory is once th3 clones of n64 hardware start coming out around 2015-16 people will start finding ways to do repro carts and homebrew carts for the n64. actually now that i think about it. i really want a repo of sin and punishment.

I thought the main difference was, that the SNES boards generally used off-the-shelf parts, while the N64 boards used parts only used by Nintendo?

[Jack7]

im not entirely sure about that. the main lead im going on is the hardware patent expiration dates
