’80s titles deliberate for rerelease on Swap and PC

Previous-school cool developer Sunsoft has introduced that it’s planning a crowdfunding marketing campaign in hopes to convey three of its Japan-only Famicom releases to fashionable platforms. The marketing campaign will formally launch on the Japanese crowdfunding website Campfire between July 14 – August 31.

The three titles up for rerelease are Edo-set platformer Kanshaku Tamanage Kantarou no Toukaidou Gojuusan-tsugi (1986), side-scrolling fantasy journey The Wing of Madoola (1986), and at last the casually-paced textual content journey Ripple Island (1988). Not one of the titles ventured exterior of Japan and thus have since pale into obscurity, a standing that Sunsoft is hoping to revitalize.

Ought to the Campfire marketing campaign show profitable, the three titles will likely be ported to PC and Nintendo Swap. As well as, the writer is hoping to launch bodily gold cartridges of the video games for the Famicom platform. Means again when, Sunsoft was one of many few corporations allowed to launch its titles on specifically branded cartridges, (see picture above), and whereas most of the studio’s video games had been awarded this status, gold-tinted cartridges had been a purpose by no means achieved by the studio. Hopefully, Sunsoft will have the ability to notice its glittery dream, if 40 years after the actual fact.
