Multiple.

Not a hack, a pc remake, hence the ability to do widescreen. The NES doesn’t have the physical capability for that.

But it is good. Really good. It also has new content that’s genuinely fun, too.

I only wish it fixed the enemy shield AI so that it wasn’t perfect all the time… granted, there are still ways to win against it, I just wish that jump attacking wasn’t effectively the ONLY way to do it. Imagine if you could bait them to commit to one location while you stabbed the other. Alas.

Because I wasn’t familiar with this project before, and it took a bit of digging on the website to find out, and OP seems to think everyone knows already… this is a project to remake the NES Earthbound game (Mother 1) to the SNES, by means of romhacking SNES Earthbound (Mother 2). It also comes with a bunch of bug fixes to that engine, and they provide a separate patch file you can use to fix the regular Earthbound game without turning it into the Mother 1 remake.

That relief is pretty darn tiny too. I feel like I just have more anxiety about the other things my ED won’t let me do that I need to do.

The biggest difference I see in what they’re proposing is that, in EVE, yes you train skills while logged off but you can’t be ganked, and in fact, logging off is a way to protect yourself from ganking in some circumstances. In the new game, presumably you can be ganked while logged off.

I hold that If their claims were true, any sketchy marketing would be forgiven very, very quickly.

Technically, they have a very short distance to climb if they wanted to: just give the battery (or preferably multiple batteries) to an independent 3rd party to test to their hearts content. If they aren’t full of shit, that’d clear things up in an instant. If someone can show their claims are true, that’s all they need.

If they are completely full of shit, then there’s no no way out of the hole. I think this is unlikely given the carefully selected tests they’ve already released— they have… something. It likely isn’t an entirely non-existent product appearing only on paper.

If they are only partially full of shit, in that they have a battery that is decent or better than current batteries but not totally fulfilling their claims, then it’s a moderate hole to climb out of. Some egg on the face, but survivable.

If they are substantially full of shit, with batteries that are equivalent or worse than current batteries, then they’re gonna be laughed out of the market real fast. Probably mentioned in the same breath as Peter Molyneux, for similar reasons.
