toma | 71 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For those who don't know, Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl launches on Steam and Switch on May 7. With the digital release of Mall Brawl coming this Thursday, I thought I'd create a topic about it here. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/jay-and-silent-bob-mall-brawl-switch/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1087440/Jay_and_Silent_Bob_Mall_Brawl/ As soon as I hear anything about the NES cartridges, I will relay that info here as well, although I'm a lot less in the loop with the physical version as that's being handled by Retro-Bit and Limited Run. I've been working a lot more closely with Interabang for the release of the digital versions so I can answer more questions about those, so long as I'm not violating any NDA or anything. It's actually been really interesting working with Nintendo especially as it's my first official release on a Nintendo console. Kind of cool after being a fan for my entire life to finally get to see things from the other side. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo, seeing as this is an official Nintendo game, does that mean the NES cart is sanctioned too? Seal of approval maybe? Did you get to talk to Kevin Smith?

Raftronaut | 100 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Really looking forward to that cart. I, unlike most am really into licensed NES games, anything based on a film or TV franchise was a huge influence on me...SO I am really looking forward to checking out my 1st licensed homebrew....congrats!

He's also in the trailer as the nerdy guy. He was awesome to work with, would definitely like to do it again. 21 hours ago, JamesRobot said: Congratulations, Toma.

The NES cart is still technically unlicensed, although they approved the commercial for the NES version on the eShop, complete with a shot of the game going into a NES console, so I'm gonna count that as a blessing. I didn't get to talk to Kevin directly. There were some plans in the cards to possibly do something around GDC but the travel bans and cancellations kicked in and put a stop to that. Fingers crossed though, there might be something in the mix soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogkid | 4 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Amazing, congratulations! Physical cart, jazzed about that too. Wonder if View Askew will do any promotional stuff (perhaps have done already?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay and Kevin have both been sharing info on social media, although Kevin got a bit confused about who actually developed the game. Working on sorting that out... Jay livestreamed the demo about a month ago and plans on streaming the full version. There are some other things in the works as well which should be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks @DefaultGen always a good episode from you. Waiting on the cart, but this may have pushed me to buy on the switch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHAN Games | 147 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Woo two KHAN Games make an appearance. Thanks. Mall Brawl is incredible, by the way. Everyone should buy it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancuster | 1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 toma, will you be able to upload the NSF file of this game separately, or is it impossible due to agreements with Interabang? I would really like to listen to the original tracks on the emulator, not in the game itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins | 1,718 Moderator · Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 This is getting excessive. The goal of the threads here in the Share sub forum is for developers to share their projects and promote new homebrew games. Please take customer service woes to the Limited Run Games thread.

Raftronaut | 100 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 As a total aside from the current discussion, After playing this game for a week I completely love it. It's a knockout homerun my only possible complaint is that hard mode is hard....lol I love the save battery, it never occurred to me a beat em up could benefit from this. I love the pixel art, sprite work and music. I have a special appreciation for the thought and care put into the sound effects. The sound of the sock full of nickels made my audibly giggle several times while I played it. I was prepared to be impressed judging by the trailer footage and screen shots, but here I am impressed even with my heightened expectations. Bravo Spoony Bard! Bravo... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sunk a year of my life developing this game full-time, so I'm glad the reception has been positive overall. I've been a Kevin Smith fan for two decades, so getting the chance to develop this was huge for me. I hope that it shows in the final product. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the care you've shown in development is immediately evident as soon as you boot the cart. Honestly, I thought I was pretty much over Beat em ups. They just burned me out in the 90's, but playing through this game totally rekindled my appreciation of the form. I was even able to invite a friend over the day I received it to play some socially distanced co-op on my cheap projector outside in my yard. The best way to experience a beat em up I was late to the party and never got a chance to pick up Eskimo bob or Alfonso's Adventure, at least I slept on them too long as I am now seeing they are sold out (congrats). So this is officially my first Spoony Bard cart and I couldn't be happier. I am really looking forward to see what you're going to follow this up with as I am now a fan -Best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer | 17 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Just wanted to say great game toma. I've played about 4 levels and it's fun. I also own artic adventure and once I found out that you were involved in this new game I happily bought it. I hope the game gets the attention that it deserves. I haven't seen that much news about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical Switch version actually exceeded my expectations for sales as well. I'm really glad that people are enjoying it! It's certainly opened up some interesting doors. Hopefully I'll have news on that over the next little while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
