I've been having a hard time figuring out what I want to do with the "Nova" series after the first game, including what platform a sequel should go on, and now SNES feels like the obvious choice. I can reuse most of my code and I'm very passionate about the console.
I guess another big thing is I'll be a truer 90s animal mascot platformer character. While they definitely did have 8-bit games I don't think they were ever the focus. :p
It's gonna take a lot of improvement in my pixel art skills.
One of the big factors here is I have a programming job so I feel absolutely no obligation to care about how career-relevant what I do in my free time is, and I really should try to just spend my free time on what will make me happiest.
I'm gonna have to learn to animate! Or at least do animations that aren't 2 frames long. Doesn't have to be elaborate... but something exaggeratedly cartoony and expressive sounds great! Hamtaro: Ham Hams Unite! is very inspirational in this regard.
