A team of indie developers are creating a new side-scrolling fighter for the SNES called Triple Impact.

@gangeek_style, @MisterDigifox and @landsat77 are the trio involved, and they've been working on the game for a short while now.

It clearly takes inspiration from fellow SNES fighters such as Final Fight and Rushing Beat, and, as you can see from the footage below – which is from May this year – it's shaping up very nicely indeed.

It even has a cool Mode 7 title screen, just like many other classic SNES titles:

SNES/SFC is over due for the Indie flood that that Megasis has.

Still want to see a lot more on this, as it looks pretty early right now--hoping they'll really try to push the SNES a bit here--but happy to see it's coming along. Keep up the good work.

@PopetheRev28 I agree, and it's nice to see there is some stuff happening in SNES land, from a handful of exciting new indie and homebrew games like this beat 'em up as well as Till & Hat, Cronela's Mansion, and Rex Nobilis, to name just a few of the upcoming games there, to things like id's official Definitive Edition of SNES Doom that uses a new "FX3" chip and even introduces a brand new rumble controller to SNES gamers too. Fans also recently got a pretty great port of Xeno Crisis there as well. I'm also rather enjoying the direct NES to SNES ports and hope the guys working on those continue to port many more NES titles across to SNES. And, with the upcoming SNESmaker component of the Retro Game Forge game creation tool coming in 2025, I hope and believe we'll soon see many more new SNES indie and homebrew titles too. So there's certainly some things brewing and a lot more to come from the SNES.

It's definitely looking very early in development and needs refinement. I'm sure they know this. Perhaps the talking in the video would reveal more detail. The footage doesn't show a lot in the sense it's one background location. It looks like they're working on the move set. I think the uppercut move and the mounted punches both come from Double Dragon Advance, and others. I hope this develops into something fun and I hope to see how that goes.

On a side note, that SNES TV one of the team is working on is rather cool too.
