I decided to do something different instead.  I thought that a collection of Wii themed mini games would inevitably feel too unfocused and, in the end, not too fun.  Instead I will be making a NES Super Mario Cart game in the style of RC Pro-Am.  My brother came up with the unusual name.  He thought mixing the names of Doki Doki Panic and Mario Cart together might be funny -- I'm not yet convinced.



FORMER POST:

I decided that I will not try to tackle a demake of a game ... but instead a demake of AN ENTIRE CONSOLE!  I plan to create a Wii-like console with a small collection of mini-games at approximately SNES specifications, though I will not be too strict about it.

Potential Games and Apps:

• Mhee Promenade
• Nobody Vetos
• Whee Athletics
• Weirdo Soft: Slick Motions
• The Mythology of Adlez: Dusk Royal Highness
• etc.

o.o Certainly interesting. I'm eager to see what you can come up with.

Ambitious, to say the least. Good luck!

Mouse driven, or will you be using the wiimote bluetooth drivers?

Perhaps it may be a bit ambitious, if you factor in the mini games.  I actually haven't really finalized my decision on what to make, but unless I can think of some specific game I would rather do instead, I will go ahead and attempt this.  

I had used DevKitAdvanced a little years ago, so I was sort of toying with the idea of actually making something that runs in an emulator, but there's a part of me that would also really like to have the flexibility and speed of development Python provides.  A real Gameboy Advance game will require much more time and effort to produce with much stricter of limitations.

One of my greatest concerns, though, is that Ludum Dare #12 will be beginning in a week and I had an even more ambitious idea for what I might attempt to accomplish in those 48 hours.  We'll have to see if one competition doesn't interfere too greatly with the other.

I will not be using a Wiimote, since my computer doesn't have any Bluetooth capabilities.  Most likely I will go with mouse or just keyboard/joytstick, since it is suppose to be SNES or GBA.

I decided to change my idea to a NES Mario Cart in the style of RC Pro-AM, as the first post now mentions.
