New Super Mario Brothers Wiihas been out for, oh, about 48 hours, but the Wii homebrew scene is already on the case: GBAtemp user Tanks hasrecreated Level 1-1 from the originalSuper Mario Brosusing aNSMBlevel editor calledReggie!, developed by a user named Treeki.
I don’t know much about homebrewing or modding, but I do know something cute and nostalgic when I see it. Level 1-1 is kind of played out by now—if a level editor exists for any game, it is a divine rule of the universe that Level 1-1 must be recreated—but it’s an impressive, and rather hasty, effort nonetheless. The framerate is totally buggered (probably because it’s running in a Wii emulator), but I’m not one to judge.
Like I said, this isn’t really my area of expertise, but if you’re interested in Reggie!, you may check out more details and screenshotshere. So far, it features sprite, object, and block editing with more coming soon. I have to wonder if that includesSuper Guide functionality, although I doubt it.
If, like me, you take a more hands-off approach to gaming and prefer watching videos and reading text, Nick’s got you covered: you can check out hisreviewand hisSuper Guide demonstration.
