"With Strider Hiryu having made his return in a brand new reboot of the classic Capcom series this past Tuesday, the publisher has managed to bring back another long-forgotten game character.
While creating new franchises and experiences is certainly something all publishers should strive for, there’s nothing wrong with bringing back a game or protagonist that fans have been clamoring for." - Pixelitis Staff
In the past two years, Ninja games seem to have made a comeback. ININ, Sega, Dotemu, and others have all thrown their names into the arena. Thus far, the quality of each company’s aforementioned games has been high from what we’ve been shown. And in the case of ININ and Dotemu, can literally play their offering as of the writing of this article. Right now, no matter which retro revival ninja franchise you favor, you’re guaranteed a quality game.
Heyyy, strider was always my guy. My avi been that guy since I was a member in this site lol.
You know who should get a remaster ( graphical recreation not remake, the gameplay is perfect) ? Goh the crow from Shinobido.
Shinobido is the metal gear solid of ninja games...
Some of us gamers still enjoy 2D games. The likes of UN Squadron, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Final Fight, Strider are all due sequels in 2D. Most of these games would probably run off the same engine. Go back to the 8 bit and 16 bit days and you could pull out a ton of 2D games due a sequel.
well UN Squadron would probably be the least likely to get a sequel since that's actually based on the old anime Area 88. The name was just changed to UN Squadron when it came west.
But then again, I could be wrong. Cobra is getting a new game
Every Oddworld game can be nabbed for just $1, or if you're based in the UK, £1 via Fanatical, a perfect deal for Steam Deck.
That's a steal for Munch's Odyssey and Stranger's Wrath alone. Not a fan of the other games in the series, but I know some people really enjoy them.
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
Strider Hiryu has appeared in all of the MvsC games, not so much long-forgotten as ummm, slightly neglected.
