Natsume Atari has brought back many classics with new remakes in recent years, such as Shadow of the Ninja Reborn and Pocky & Rocky Reshrined. Now we may have a hint as to the next classic to get this treatment.
Specifically, Natsume Atari has filed a trademark for Shatterhand in Japan: chizai-watch.com/t/2025097921
Shatterhand is a 2D action game originally released for NES. In Japan, the game was originally a licensed video game based on the series Super Rescue Solbrain.
If a remake is coming, it may simply make more sense to use the western localization rather than try and regain the license.
