We need an arcade-style 8-bit basketball game! [poll]

Question

I’m not really a basketball guy, but we need this.

Example: we can’t use real players, so why not use the real names of the players but mix up the player first and last names like Retro Bowl?

An Idea I had was this: in the championship game, there’s sparkler machines attached behind each backboard. When a player dunks it, sparks light up immediately following the dunk. This lasts for two seconds.

Another idea: we can use fictional characters with the permission of the creators. For example: Sonic from Sonic The Hedgehog or Apollo Creed from Rocky.

The card layout is this, from top to bottom: the character’s name, then the 8-bit picture of said character, the character’s star ranking (goes from one to five, up to six if 100% power is reached and lightning power is available), the power % (goes from 0% to 100%), and finally the lightning icon.

You will be able to view the stats when you click on the player card.

Here’s some examples for the cards (I used emojis because I don’t have time to make 8-bit stars and other 8-bit stuff)

Non-lightning power card:

Lightning power card:

I’ll improve on them later, but what do you think?

Comments

Yeah, and I was thinking of another thing.

You know how SSBU has that little intro before you start the game (but it’s entirely skippable)?

Maybe we could get permission to use the song “Space Jam” for an intro before the start screen?

Like it shows multiple different short scenes of gameplay in the game as Space Jam is playing.

The intro doesn’t need to be that long.

We could also have multiple different modes:

1: Path To Victory, where you play Season after season, where depending on your options, different dilemmas will come and you will have to solve them. It’s your own story. This mode will be available upon release. Difficulties would be like this: Granny, Bust, Newbie, Intermediate, Tough, Olympic, and Hall Of Famer. Exp gain in PTV is affected by difficulty.

Co-op in this mode will only be available on consoles.

2: Mano a Mano, where you play online against opponents. There will be ranked, regular, and lopsided (where you are placed against a vastly superior or vastly inferior opponent, if you’re the winner and you’re the superior one, you get a small reward, but if you’re the winner and you’re the inferior one, you get a huge reward). This will also be available upon release.

Co-op on this mode will also only be available on console.

3: Clash Competition, where you can compete in contests with people across the globe for prizes. Multiple contests like “most dunks” could be hosted, and the prize could be something like in-game currency or an IRL collectible. This mode will come out two weeks after release.

Co-op is unavailable here.

4: StreetBall, where you play by street rules. Pretty simple- there’s two modes, Path To Victory StreetBall, or Mano a Mano Streetball. This mode will come out one month after release.

Co-op is available only for console in this mode.

5: Mods, where you can play other user’s modded maps or play with other user’s modded players, etc. This mode will come out nine months-a year after release, when the game comes out on PC.

Co-op will be available here.

I got it planned out.
