Fans have long desired to see classic titles from SNK return and we may be getting our wish soon. In a recent interview with 4Gamer, head of the Game Development Department at SNK and leading project manager on consumer titles , Yasuyuki Oda revealed that the company is currently working on prototypes for two of its classic IPs.
Specifically, 4Gamer referenced a previous discussion with Oda in which he expressed interest in working on franchises such as Ikari Warriors, Metal Slug, Athena and Psycho Soldier.
Oda responded by saying:
We are already working on two of the IPs you just mentioned. We are still at the level of making prototypes and verifying whether we can make something good.
Basically, we make new things and revamp IP. On top of that, for example, there are titles that do things that look like orthodox evolution, but since they were originally arcade games, it’s hard to play them even if they’re modern console games. There are also titles that have been changed to genres for.
What IPs do you think they are working on? Let us know!
Guerilla War & Turf Masters…well a guy can dream can’t he?
Tired of all the lame fighter titles being rehashed ALL OF THE TIME!
