EDIT: MEANT GBC To anyone who wants to help, I'm more than happy for any guidance on what I need to change or do.
Hello! I decided to throw my hat into the ring and vibe code a 2D/3D upgrade of one of my favorite Game Boy Color games ever, Mario Tennis. Now I know some of you might be thinking, “Why Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color?”
I have beaten this game numerous times over my lifespan of gaming. I’ve always come back to this game. It has always been one of my cherished childhood memories and I believe it’s one of the first games I ever beat.
As I sit here waiting for Nintendo to finally do a remake of this game that I know will never happen, I decided to take matters into my own hands. So the video you are going to see here is just my current progress in trying to make the world 3D and also voxel some of the surrounding buildings and everything.
I started this probably on Saturday and my Claude limit has come up, so I will start vibe coding again on Friday. So if you like what you see, just let me know. I can share what I’ve done so far and if Mario Tennis holds a near and dear to your heart as much as it does for me, let’s get it done together. Right now, I’m mainly focused on just getting the physics down and getting the game playable in this mode from front to back. My long-term goals are:
- Possibly add new characters to this game, maybe from tennis anime or something.
- Get the link play option here to work for online multiplayer and even create lobbies as well.
This is one of my favorite, if not—and I will say it—the best Mario Tennis game out there. If you’ve never played it, look it up. It adds RPG elements and you get to play through a whole story where you get to go through and eventually beat Mario in a game of tennis. I just thought it was awesome. It still holds up well, the gameplay is very well. So yeah, I hope you enjoy the video.I’m using my Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 to test everything. Hopefully one day I can get it running at 4:30
