The New Mugen: ShugenDo

[Kakashi Hatake]

ShugenDo is a 2D Fighting Engine based on the M.U.G.E.N Fighting Engine from Elecbyte. ShugenDo tries to be fully compatible with the char format of M.U.G.E.N. It wants improve a lot of things, like dynamic stages, hardware accelerated rendering, network play, Force Feedback. Also ShugenDo is designed for multiple platforms like Windows, Linux, PS3 Linux. So with this engine you could be able to create your own 2D fighting game. The engine was developed from scratch and is still in development.

In my opinion, I like this Mugen way better than the old one. Not only does it have more features, but it's more stable. If you've played M.U.G.E.N., you should give ShugenDo a try! (it's worth it) Now, if the online feature gets sorted out, we'll be able to have battles against each other around here. I'd like to see this project completed one day.

Wow! This engine's done alot of growing since I last checked in on it. I was always into M.U.G.E.N. and I loved creating my own chars/stages. Do ya know If the PSP version of this has had any updates? I'd love to see how far they've gotten.

Yesterday, I checked at their forum but I'm unsure if it has had updates. There is a video about it on their Youtube channel doing a test run. Check around the site, maybe they're going to update the PSP port at the same time they'll update the PC version. (which should be April 13th or so)

Welcome to Nintendo Pals! I've always liked M.U.G.E.N. for years, but I've always thought "How much better would it be if it had online capability?" With this new project, I think it'll come to light. You've done a great job making this project, and I look forward to testing out future betas to come until the final project is released.
