WHAT? Super Mario War 1.7 released for PSP... A month ago?

Yes, you heard me correctly. I probably said the same thing you did when you read this.

In my regular internet travels, I stumbled upon Super Mario War 1.7 ported for PSP. Apparently, it's in BETA stages.

Heres all the info...

Super Mario War is a Super Mario multiplayer game.
The goal is to stomp as many other Marios as possible to win the game.
It's a tribute to Nintendo and the game Mario War by Samuele Poletto.

The game uses artwork and sounds from Nintendo games. We hope that this noncommercial fangame qualifies as fair use work. We just wanted to create this game to show how much we adore Nintendo's characters and games.

Features:
- Up to four players deathmatch fun
- a whole bunch of game modes (featuring GetTheChicken, Domination, CTF, ...)
- Comes with the leveleditor - you can create your own maps...
- ... and a lot of people did so. There are currently over 1000 maps
- More fun than poking a monkey with a stick
- The whole source code of the game is available
- uses SDL and is fully portable to windows, linux, mac, ...
- CPU Players
- will make you happy and gives you a fuzzy feeling

Developers:
- Michael Schaffer
- Florian Hufsky
- An incredible ammount of contributors

Whats new:

Well, it is finally done! There aren't too many differences between RC2 and the final, mainly bug fixes, a few more maps and skins and sgraff87's complete gfx overhaul. It looks fantastic!

Alrigggght :] Definitely one of my favorite homebrew games. If anyone's wondering what's new in this version there's bug fixes, a few new maps, a few new skins. That info is taken off the official SMW site http://smw.72dpiarmy.com/

It crashes moderately.

There are some neat features in this release, I like how you set the bot skill level! They seem to be smarter too!

Hopefully the author will fix some of the bugs I'm getting.

This game is one of the best homebrew games out there and can keep my friends and brother happy for a long long time.

It's evern awesomer then the last one! :)
It seems more fast paced, and action packed then the first one.

A MONTH AGO?????

heh, whatever, we got it here :D. Would be great to have a PSP Nethack update, but................

guess life's not easy :)

looks cool getin it naw.

Yea this game wasnt written for the psp, belive it or not. It was made for pc, mac, and xbox. So other gamer has taken the scource and ported it (so the origanaly author didnt actualy do anything for it =P)

Anyway, Xp Max, keeping with our modding ways, are going to make a mod of this game labbled Mini Wars. We will make a new tile set, anouncers, tons of sprites (including halo people from SMH, and the other super minis we will make eventualy) and maybe a few custom maps =P So yea..... MW secret reveiled after 3 months of planning and waiting for the new version =P (I was going to port it too but someone beat me to it...)

Whaa? Ah well at least we know! Hehe cant wait to brake this baby in.

Am i right to think that this lacks multiplayer still?

I absolutely adore this game as do my brothers and we are still waiting patiently for a multiplayer version.

Maybe someone can contact the authors and find out if its still in the pipeline or if its simply impossible?
