Super Mario Bros. Z Game Title & Logo Unveiled!

Posted by NessMasta - May 17th, 2010

Well, after doing some long research on how to make and execute a fighting-style game, I am ready now and to formally announce and unveil the title and logo to the official flash game of one of the most popular sprite animations on Newgrounds, Super Mario Bros. Z!

Here's the official game title: Super Mario Bros. Z: Desumacchi

What does Desumacchi mean?: Of course, it's Japanese for "Fight to the Finish" or "Desperate Struggle", as well as "Death Match".

What will the game be about?: The game will be kind of like Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros. with some cool features to enhance the gaming experience.

Will there be a Story Mode in this game?: There will be a Story Mode as a matter of fact. The story will be a side story, something that won't tamper the official storyline of Super Mario Bros. Z, after having some exchanged discussion with Alvin Earthworm. All I can say now for the Story Mode is that the game will take place after the destruction of Yoshi's Island.

When will the game come out?: I know that MANY of you out there are impatient and would like to know when this game will come out. As a lot of flash animators have said this many times to their fan-base, I have no clue when it'll come out at this point of time. I too have other things to do outside of making Flash stuff like most of you, such as having a full-time job that takes a lot of your time. All I can say that I'll begin production of the game on June 12th.

Well, that should be somewhat a brief overview for the official SMBZ game. Below is a tentative title screen with the official logo for the game.

Until then, more to come!

Super Mario Bros. Z the game? I can dig it. But why are you starting in the middle of June?

NessMasta (Updated )

I've got quite a bit of stuff at work to do and going to be out of town for a few days. I also like to get myself relaxed and physically energized before taking on a project like this one. I want to make this the best I can for everyone to enjoy.

Salnax

Sounds sweet.

RogerU

Can't wait!!!

DanMasterFlash

The game better be as promising as this the cover. Btw, thats some sweet artwork. Make it into a 1680x1050. And send it to me, would make an awesome wallpaper. Good luck with the game though. Honestly, reading the headline I thought it was an actual game from Nintendo themselves. You sold me.

Sodaku

Woah, sweet I was wonderinf if someone would make an SMBZ game. Seems like a pretty big project, cant wait to plat it good luck on it.

DampSponge

That's a lot of dang work. I hope you're collaborating with Alvin.

NAveryW

You missed the simplest possible explanation of "desumachi". It's the English phrase "death match" represented with Japanese phonemes.

NAveryW

OH GOD, I MISUSED THE WORD "PHONEMES"!

What I meant is that "desumachi" is a transvocalization of the phrase "death match". I tried to remember what the term for that is, but I couldn't. Looking it up, it's "gairaigo".

NessMasta

Interesting. I went to this Japanese online directory when finding a good name, but I didn't see that phrase there. I'll have to take a look more at it.

JAB456

ah this seems like a good idea, just a few questions. why not start at the beggining of the story? and do you mind telling us some of the playable characters?

NessMasta

Playable characters will be announced soon. Though you probably know some of those that will be playable characters anyways; but, there will be some add-on characters that will make their debut in the SMBZ Universe.

OmarShehata

Looks like you'll have some competition. Super Nuke Bros.

<a href="http://www.supernukebros.moonfruit.com/">http://www.supernukebros.moonfruit.co m/</a>

Is of similar genre. Would be epic to have two quality fan-made games in the same year.

WolfSage

Wow i seriously cant wait.

Sekseh

I'm not gonna try to hasten the production of your work; because when you take your time, awesomeness is made. Take as long as you need to complete the game, just make sure to keep your fellow fans informed of updates (a site would be perfect).

Spread this thing, promote it like crazy and I'm sure it'll spread like wildfire through word of mouth alone. If there isn't a digg on this, there should.... I just might make one 8D

NessMasta

I do plan on making a website for this game. I just purchased a domain for my studio and I plan on working on that this weekend.

Another thing I have planned is a teaser trailer.

xXBladeTrogunXx

Sounds good man. But you might want to be careful. We've still have yet to see all of the fighters in SMBZ. There might bbe new ones not yet introduced.

NessMasta

Ya I'll make sure of that. I'll probably talk with AE again this weekend on what set of characters he isn't going to use for the series.

NAveryW

>>I went to this Japanese online directory when finding a good name, but I didn't see that phrase there. I'll have to take a look more at it.

I wasn't saying "garaigo" is the proper term for "death match", if that's what it looked like. I'm saying "desumachi" is a garaigo of "death match", a garaigo being a transvocalization of a foreign word into one expressable with Japanese syllables.

Rooble

Just saying, are you sure there won't be any copy right issues? Nintendo wouldn't do anything.. but just saying

NessMasta

That's if I sell the game and make profit from it, something like that. Might be guessing that adding the NG Flash Ads might fall into that category.

I-smel

you cant go cumming all over yourself before even startin to make a game, thats crazy. CAN you make games?

have you thought about how bad fighting games are with a keyboard? have you thought about how much the games you mentioned rely on thier multiplayer? have you thought about all the crazy things fighting games COULD do but aren't doing?
are you interested in AI at all?

Id love fo you to prove me wrong, but I can just really see this bein somethin you try for a month, then give up on.

NessMasta

Not sure where you're getting at, but the game will definitely have multiplayer. some people think that including a story mode to this type of game would be more important.

Like I said in the post, I've done some long research on this, in fact been doing it since October when I made my last post here talking about making an SMBZ game.

ikool

Just a heads up. You should talk to Alvin Earthworm and see if he's ok with you doing stuff like this.

NessMasta

Read the post, I have made exchanges with AE. He has known this since October 2009.

Madmanonfire

@ikool
Just a heads up. You should try reading the post and realize that he already said that he talked to AE.

Pattiasina24

That looks awesome.

ifureadthisdie

Shouldn't a Super Mario Bros. Z game be more DBZ styled instead of street fighter/smash bros? Either way, I'm a fan of both SF and SSB, so id still like it. That title screen looks VERY promising, i hope the art (of course outside of the sprites) will look as awesome as that. This game already looks like something id even pay for. Do not disappoint. Good luck, i support you all the way.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to start making one though lol

NessMasta

I'll try to implement some of DBZ style into it such as floating in mid-air and will try that with fighting at the same time. Hopefully it'll be a success.
