Samus vs Ivy! Cloud vs Chun Li! Link vs Mega Man X!

Before your head explodes, no, this game isn't a planned release, commercial or non-commercial, for the DS. Card Sagas Wars is a homemade PC project created with M.U.G.E.N, a "freeware 2D fighting game engine." The music and backgrounds have been ripped from a variety of popular games, but it looks like the character sprites have been redrawn for a consistent (and totally awesome) look.
If anything, Card Sagas Wars' developers are ambitious, setting out to include a collection of playable characters that would put even Super Smash Bros. Brawl to shame, its posted list of 995 "Blue Series" cards ranging from Killer Instinct's Cinder to Castlevania's Soma Cruz. A demo with four playable fighters is currently in the works, but no concrete date has been set for its release. You can see an older, less epic trailer for Card Sagas Wars past the break.

Someone needs to port Mugen to the DS!

Who's that Lion guy? Also Kos-Mos for Brawl.
Tyler @ Jan 2nd 2008 6:49PM
Lion is from the RPG "Tales of Destiny." He's also known as Judas on Tales of Destiny 2. All of the characters from the "Tales of" seem like they'd fit nicely in Mugen.
This looks awesome!!

WOW! That looks really really fun. Whoever is behind this, please make it! I would gladly give it a donation to help keep it rolling along. Just to be sure, this isn't planned to be released on homebrew right?

Wow, so many cease and desists coming their way.

they could get away with it if they released it in Japan and made all the characters super deformed, thats how they get away with it with super robot wars
Shariq Ansari @ Jan 1st 2008 7:44PM
No, that's NOT how they get away with it with Super Robot Wars. Super Robot Wars still gets licenses and permission. -_-;

Looks sweet but not sure this is going to fly with the game companies.
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Jan 1st 2008 7:42PM
Considering they're not making any money off this, and M.U.G.E.N. has been around since 1999, I'm thinking the game companies don't really care.

Looking at the website, they seem to have every character you can imagine.
Surlent from Treasure of the Rudras? They have him.
Djano from Boktai? They have him.
SLIME FROM DRAGON QUEST? They have him.
I'm in crossover heaven.

So badass...how do i get it?
O__o @ Jan 2nd 2008 4:20AM
Wait for it to come out, and download it to an M3, G6, R4, etc. (And I'm now noticing a similar naming pattern among these things...)
deadpixels @ Jan 2nd 2008 5:11AM
uhh, didn't anyone read that THIS IS NOT COMING OUT FOR DS, HOMEBREW OR OTHERWISE.
eric, i think your wording wasn't direct enough for someone.
nintendolink007-entertainment @ Jan 2nd 2008 2:32AM
Megaman i really want to see in brawl, Final Fantasy Characters.....no thank you
Tyler @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:01AM
Why not? Besides, this isn't brawl so don't worry >.>.

geek-gasm!

This would be amazing on homebrew. Such a shame. C'est la vie.

Unfortunately, this game suffers from the absolute worst user base ever. Most of the creators will get angry if the materials they ripped appear on another website and immediately pull it from their site. Most of the actually players consist of 12 year old children who spam every gaming message board in existence with "loking 4 g0ku & prz bush." It's just not worth it to get into this game, I'm afraid.
