Epic Saga: The Video Game

As the name implies, Epic Saga is, indeed, epic. This game will be only for Wii and the ESRB will most likely be given a T for Teen for its mild blood and violence. It will be available only for the GigaCom. Epic Saga will likely never come about because its heavily based off of fan-made content. However, this is an original idea and may be considered good.

The gameplay is very unique from others because you can switch from an RPG style to a beat-em-up style. To make things clearer, the gameplay is this. Say you go through the level and beat up the enemies and bosses on the fly. The enemies drop EXP points, items, and coins, but not as much as when you do what I'm about to say next. Next you switch to RPG stlye and as soon as you run into an enemy, a turn-based battle begins. This takes long and can be agonizing at times, but if you want to improve your character's stats, this is a must. Please note this has no impact on level progress and is completely optional.

Using Lock-On
Lock-On provides a great feel to the Beat-em-Up section of the game. By pressing the O Button, you can lock onto an enemy. When locked-on, you can either move the lock-on target to a different enemy, or use any attack in your character's roster. Your character will then automatically execute the attack without missing unless the foe blocks the attack. You can also send in a Pokemon when using Lock-On. When your enemy is targeted, you can send in a Pokemon who will jump in, attack, and then jump back out (unless your Pokemon was assisting you, then it would continue fighting).

Introduction: The Mushroom Kingdom
At the beginning of the story, Beecanoe, the main character, is seen atop a spire leaning over a pool of lava. He is seen ready to push off Mario, another important character into the lava. Denying his pleas of mercy, Beecanoe pushes Mario right into the lava.

He then wakes up.

Beec gets out of his bed at Dry Bowser's castle and prepares for another day of work. He walks down the halls when a Koopatrol runs up to him and tells him that a fuzzy invasion is taking place in the courtyard, and that Beec should be the one to stop them. Reluctantly, he does, and he bursts open the door to see fuzzies being killed by another individual, a golem with hints of lava on his body. Beec sees nothing familiar about this being, but if it kills fuzzies, it's a friend of his. When a hoard of fuzzies seems to doom the being, Beec blasts them with a massive ball of black fire. The golem gets to his feet and confronts Beecanoe.

"What's your name?" he asks.

"My name's Beecanoe. Are you an ally?"

"I suppose so, if you hate these things, too."

"Well the hatred of some creature shouldn't be something to bring us together, now should it? You don't look like a familiar being.  Where are you from?"

"I am fron the planet Sauria. My name is Jared.  I am the last of my kind because of an extinction caused by the destruction of my planet.  A robot named Megaman and his creator destroyed it.  I shall hate them for eternity."

"I'm from there." says Beec patetically as he points to the castle behind him.

"What's your story, Beecanoe?"

"After my death by a plumber named Mario, who is basically the hero of this kingdom, I became this skeletal being you see today. I grew to hate Mario, so to train for killing him, I killed off several minor heroes.  The evil I did made my form look more and more twisted."

A loud shriek echoes across the plains of the courtyard, and a massive fuzzy along with a bunch of smaller fuzzies appear. The first battle in the game begins, with the player controlling Beecanoe and Jared the Saurian.
