It looks like you'll soon be able to beat up your friends in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from an entirely different perspective. It seems the hit Switch fighting game is getting a virtual reality mode via the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con VR Goggles.

Super Smash Bros. Ported To TI-83 Calculator

You can settle it in Smash. And you can also settle it in Smash on a calculator through an awesome port made by a TI-83 homebrewer.

Super Smash Bros. will be making its triumphant debut this week on the Nintendo Wii U, but silently on another orthodox platform too. Omnimaga forum member, Hayleia, has been busy making a version of the all-star Nintendo bash, called Super Smash Open, for the Texas Instruments’ TI-83 series of calculators that’s available for download right as we speak.

Why would you opt for a version of Smash Bros. that you can only pick two characters, Fox and Falco from Star Fox, and none of the frills that come with the Wii U one? Well, you wouldn’t. But it is an amusing port for all things. One that is being continually worked on by Hayleia, and who is currently seeking for more folks to help with its further development.

The project is both free to download (it even has a two-player mode, albeit one where you have to share a calculator to play) and free to improve, so if you’ve got the programing know how, you might be able to expand the roster and fix it up with a few more gaming options.

Similar TI-83 calculator portings of Portal and Pokémon have been made in the past from devoted homebrewers of the hardware, and you can find more of their projects over at TI-Planet, a website dedicated in rounding up similar homebrew software for the TI-83.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Characters Play Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Sony vs. Nintendo

Posted on by

If you’ve seen media of Sony’s upcoming fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, then you know that it’s quite similar to Nintendo’s Smash. Bros. series. The biggest difference is most likely with their rosters, which are each filled with company exclusives. But a group of Wii modders managed to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Members of the Smash Bros. mod site Brawl Vault recreated the characters that will be available in Sony’s game so they can play with them on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now they can have Nathan Drake, Sackboy and Sly Cooper go up against Mario, Link, Pikachu. But that’s not all. They also made characters that are not in the current revealed roster of Sony’s brawler, including Commander Shepard, Isaac Clarke and Tomba. Below is a gameplay video uploaded by YouTuber sulleh1:

Here’s the second part of the video:

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Smash Bros. so I don’t know if these are just character skins or if they have unique moves as well. In any case, you can download these characters for free. You’ll have to mod an ISO of Super Smash Bros. Brawl to get these characters into the game though. I suggest you head to Brawl Vault not just for the character files but for instructions as well.
