Thunderforce VI (6) 03 August 2008
SEGA are to resurrect classic shooter series Thunderforce. As original developers Techno Soft were bought-out by a pachinko company some time ago now, SEGA will be in charge of development, with Tez Okada (Segagaga and Astro Boy: Omega Factor) heading up a team of shooter enthusiasts, apparently.
Curiously, Thunderforce VI will be released on the PS2, and there are no further plans at the moment to port or develop for any of the other more modern systems. Some screenshots have emerged already, but even better are the preview videos over at the official website.
Hopefully this one can follow in the footsteps of other classic-to-3D-updates such as Irem's R-Type Final and Treasure's Gradius V.
