If you admire Japanese retro games, then chances are you're familiar with the work of the Japanese M2 studio, who has become an industry leader when it comes to adapting vintage games for modern programming. It worked with Nintendo on the original Wii Virtual Console, and also coincided with Sega's latest efforts to open its back catalog to new players via the 3DS and switch. It has also improved the software side of things Mega Drive Mini
However, while M2 clearly has the talent to synchronize work with other companies, it also creates new games. It was the work of the lowly Gradius, Contra and KEEPING of the fort on WiiWare, and recently announced that it is releasing an already brightly colored rifle that looks up at the arcades.
Currently known as the temporary name It scares you, will be launching on the Japanese walls later this year and is working on Sega's ALL platform.
Other topics that have been confirmed using the Arga Arcade standard are:
- Courage Gear Strive
- Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition APM3 ver.
- Under Birthdate: Late (cl-r)
- Otoshoo DX
- New Wave!
- Rolling Gunner
- Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai Version3
- Goonya Fighter
- Sega Classics (Game 1: Fantasy Zone)
Given M2's close relationship with Nintendo – and the huge popularity of Sweden – we hope there will be Ichaba's switchch port in the near future. After all, the console is now turning into a collection platform for shmups, so it makes sense.
