We've seen plenty of games attempt to take on the might of Super Smash Bros. over the years, but few have been as unique as Super Tilt Bro. on the NES.
For starters, yes, it's a NES game. Secondly, the cartridge actually has a Wi-Fi chip inside so you can play online with other people. On your NES.
This open-source fighting title is still in development and the cart itself is in the prototype stage, but what we've seen so far is quite exciting from a technical perspective... could other cart-based consoles see online play added via similar means?
If you like what you see, then you can try out Super Tilt Bro. in your browser by visiting this page. Alternatively, you can download the ROM from the same page and play it on your NES using a flash cart, or via emulation.

It's absolutely wild the things people come up with to try. I never would have even thought to do something like this, even if I had the skills to do it! Which I don't!
Very cool. I hope enough people buy-in to ensure the servers are not bereft of competition. Great labor of love on the devs' part.
Nice! Just what we need in these dark days
Awesome! If they ever release an official cart, I’ll get it for sure.
That looks awesome & quite fun. Nicely done.
Already downloaded it and uploading to my Wii as we speak. Love the rom updates on NL, keep em coming 🎮 👍
That's incredible!
How much does anyone bet that this online mode is better than Ultimate's?
I love all the things you can do with old systems! Kind of like the Super FX and Cx4 chip for the Super NES, but made at home. Astounding!
That's bonkers! I love it
Hah! I can't believe someone would do this, but it's pretty amazing.
I'm just not smart or creative. The internet has explained this to me thoroughly.
Nice the Big N finally caught up to Sega !!
Totally cool and completely useless feature
I only care about games that run I at least 108p/6FPS and 8 bit HDR. Does it achieve this at the very least?
That's very cool. Love it.
I LOVE demakes of current games. Bravo to the folks who did this!
So, let's count how long it is before Nintendo shuts them down, then a completely unrelated release of an eerily similar idea a year or two later (like they did with Mario 35). I hope they don't but...we know it's gonna happen.
Awesome re-imagining of a legacy product
@Dizavid This won't get copyright struck because they didn't violate anything. This is an original game. If they'd called it Super Smash Bros. NES then they'd be done. But the second part of your comment makes no sense. Nintendo already made something like this.. it's called Smash Bros. What would be the idea they steal from this?
Also, Super Mario 35 is nothing like Mario Royale. I can only assume you've read next to nothing about it and haven't played it. Mario Royale is literally just Super Mario Bros but you can see ghosts of the other players at the same time and it's a race to the end. That's it. It's literally just speed running. The only difference from it and what people already do in Super Mario Bros in competitions is it can be done on a server "together" kind of. But there's no actual interaction or new gameplay. The creator's only contribution to the concept of Mario was making it a competitive race, which Nintendo has already done as far back as the 1980s with Super Mario Bros. This is just online. Which Super Mario Maker also already did.
Super Mario 35 isn't a race. It's a survival competition where you launch attacks at other players with endless enemies. Last man standing wins. It's much more a copy of Tetris 99 with some Fall Guys survival mode thrown in.
The hardware that enables wifi in the NES cartridge is several orders of magnitude more computationally powerful than than the NES it slots into. Fun stuff.
