      What do you mean? I could be mistaken but, isn’t this being played on an emulator of the NES? As long as you have a decent pc you should be able to emulate practically any NES game lag free.

      That's because it almost certainly didn't. I see a lot of Metroid, Kid Icarus, and the mapper/scrolling/sound code from SMB3. I dunno without poking at the ROM which was was the base, but I'd guess SMB3 with Kid Icarus code (maybe a little Metroid differences thrown in) and the rest was custom. There's a lot of "the rest" though, this isn't just a mashup of two other games by any stretch of the imagination.

    This is amazing, if they continue to work on it, it could be the greatest NES game ever.

Awesome stuff, but clearer subgoals would add a lot I think.

    I know a few of the people that are involved with this hack, the programmer has incredible knowledge of the SMB code. The person behind the graphics has been working on them for the past few years. Kosmic is right this is just a small slice of what the full game will be when it's done. I believe they are still calling it Mario Gaiden, as for what I've seen (graphics not gameplay) there will be tanks, caves, ice and more that even I haven't seen.
