Console tribe news - Released: Super Mario War 1.8 beta1 for XBOX1

di: Justme

E’ bello notare che, nonostante la Xbox1 sia stata quasi completamente abbandonata, vi sia ancora qualche coder che sviluppa, anche solo per puro divertimento, dei software homebrew. E’ il caso del team 72dpiforum, che ha recentemente rilasciato quello che può essere considerato uno dei più divertenti giochi homebrew mai pensati finora: Super Mario War, che oggi giunge alla versione 1.8 beta1.

Super Mario War è essenzialmente un titolo che, come progettazione, ricalca la battle mode del vecchissimo Super Mario 3 (per SNES, chi se lo ricorda? :D), ma aggiunge varie funzioni, modalità, powerups, nonchè la possibilità di divertirsi con un numero massimo di 4 giocatori (anche controllati dalla CPU). Eccovi alcuni screenshots:
