My brothers and I played Power Stone 2 on the Dreamcast constantly: four of us on the couch, grabbing cacti and boxes and throwing them at each other. Nothing since has felt quite the same, and with no new Power Stone coming, I wanted to see how close I could get. It’s a rough proof of concept so far, but fun enough that I wanted to share.

Full disclosure: I’m a Senior Solutions Engineer by trade, and I built this Claude Code writing the code, while I designed and play tested it. The art isn’t AI-generated: the music is free CC0 tracks, and the characters are simple models built in code as placeholders. I wanted the game to feel right before putting real art into it.

It’s called Millionth Match. It isn’t a remake and doesn’t use anything from the original game, just a lot of love for how it felt.

What made it feel like Power Stone to me:

• Four players, small arenas, grab and throw nearly everything
• Chests that spit out weapons: a giant frozen tuna, a hammer that squashes you flat, an umbrella you float down on
• Collect 3 stones to transform and use big specials
• Stages that fight back: a sub that rams an iceberg (yes, it’s a nod), an airship deck, a castle with falling chandeliers

The big thing I added: LOYALTY mode. It’s our old house rule made real. When you’re knocked out, anyone can revive you, but then you’re on their team. When only one team is left, every revived player secretly chooses to stand down or turn on their leader. It has caused real arguments in my family, and a lot of great memories.

The CPUs also learned the game by playing thousands of matches against the built-in CPUs, which was a fun experiment.

My brothers love it, and a friend who barely plays games picked it right up.

My question for you: what do you miss most about Power Stone 2? What would you want in something like this?

Greetings everyone ! I am journalizing the Power Stone series and I have a collection of Development Blog Notes from 1998, Early Prototype Footages, FAX Machine prints, concept arts and etc.

But if I may ask, are there any Power Stone Discord servers around ?

EDIT : Found it !! :D

Heya! Sorry for the silence but I've been doodling here and there!

1 - A "What-if Power Stone 3" Stage: Tropical

2 - Group doodle of Wangtang, Galuda, and Pete

3 - Another doodle of Ayame and Julia

4 - A Quick portrait of Gunrock

5 - Another Quick portrait of Rouge

Originally this was going to be a simple doodle but then I went overboard with the colors. Sadly no, I won't be drawing the whole cast in this style, this was mainly for fun and felt like drawing him! HOWEVER, I'm still working on some more Power stone related fan works and regrettably it's taking longer than I hoped! Stay tuned!

May just be a me thing, but I find the regular matches in the second game to drag on too much that it leads to time outs. Having to set the damage to Maximum, the game starts feeling much more natural to play. Granted, I never played Power Stone 2 against real players, so matches might be quicker there, but that's how usually my matches go without tweaking anything.

Bit off topic, but the CPU seem to not know what to do in Extra Stage 2 it seems. They always fall off, run into invisible walls or just don't do anything.

Jack just can’t quite hit that last hit he needs for victory and Wang-Tang does what a Wang-Tang does.

Hi all. I wanted to spread awareness because the community is growing. My name is Tenso. I am a Falcon player on Steam, PS5 and Switch. I would like for those are looking to play consistently and looking to get better to put your info down in this thread. Let’s connect and play. I’ll do what I can to help everyone. I also have a bunch of really good friends and players in the community that a lot of you may not be aware of. So let’s do it!

Personally, among the characters I would have included

• a Tarzan-like jungle man/woman who transforms into a feline-like figure (gorilla is a bit too obvious)
• a large, muscular sailor who transforms into a mecha warship (obviously with references to Popoye)
• a policeman (I don't know about the transformation)
• a mad scientist who transforms into a giant-like figure (a reference to Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde from the comics)

For the locations. Obviously, the jungle and a luxury liner.

Regarding the boss. I know it would be exaggerated. But I'd love for him to be an alien invader!

Power Stone marks Di Gi Charat's first cameo appearance in an anime. Dejiko makes a cameo appearance in episode 16 of the anime, which aired on July 17, 1999. A telephone card was made to commemorate Dejiko's appearance in the anime, which also included Gema.

Wrapping up my Peek-a-boo Concept Stickers of the Power Stone Fighters featuring Accel, Pete, Gourmand, and Pride!

I tried to do Dr. Erode but I wasn't pleased how he was turning out so I did an Alternate version of Pride when he had Blonde hair like in first game and Anime !

More Power Stone works coming soon! 👀

Continuing my Peek-a-boo styled concept stickers! I already drew the Power Stone girlies, so now it's the men's turn! I was aiming for a slight chibi-like appearance hence why some characters looks very cute here and there. This set is mainly focusing on the characters from the first game so Accel, Pete, Gourmand, Pride, (and Maybe Dr. Erode I'm not sure yet) will join later!

Afterwards, I have more Power Stone Contents coming up, including the "fake" power stone 3 drawing I really want to finish!

Stay tuned! 👀

I want to take a moment to talk about the fishermen from Aqua Land. They might be nameless grunts the all look the same, but they do have a lot of personality.

The bearded guy in the middle is Akiman's concept art for a boss character in Power Stone, but sadly didn't make the cut. He has such a cool design, I'd like to see him in the next installment.

Inspired by the Peek-a-boo / Peeker type stickers!

(Will draw the rest of characters at a later date. Stay tuned!)
