Tecmo has attempted to bring the chain-shield (diskarmor) throwing hero, Rygar back with a Playstation 2 game. It didn’t fair so well, but Tecmo isn’t giving up on it. They announced “Project Rygar” for the Nintendo Wii and Keisuke Kikuchi (the producer of Gallop Racer) is leading it. During the Temco event, Team TACHYON was unveiled with Keisuke Kikuchi as the leader. Team TACHYON’s goal is to revive old franchises and make them new pillars for Tecmo. Hmm… could we see a new Solomon’s Key game in the future? Or maybe Star Force (probably not going to happen).
I played the **** out of Rygar on PS2. That game was amazing, and seriously spoiled God of War for me, to the point where I didn’t even bother finishing it because…
RYGAR > GOD OF WAR
There, I said it.
I remember Rygar for the PS2 and its ridiculously hard bosses like that hydra…

Man do I remember spending a good few hours trying to defeat that boss! Even though the game was really short, it managed to provide the gamer with challenging bosses which managed to kick your ass around even when you knew you were doing something right. Argh. The music to the game was epic, too. Very epic.
Here’s hoping Project Rygar is in the same vein…now I want to go replay PS2 Rygar.
Nice. Using the Wii remote to control his disk armour seems like a match made in heaven. Could this be a prelude to a God of War on the Wii?
God of War’s a first party title owned by Sony, basically wiping any chances of seeing a sequel premiere on any other home console expect the PS3. However, that still doesn’t stop the chances of seeing a GOW-style game like Project Rygar pop up on the Wii. Although Legendary Adventure launched way before God of War was ever heard of.
Rygar kicked soo much ass, and the bosses and soundtrack were absolutely incredible. I still have that game, and I still play it. I really hope that Project Rygar is around the same caliber as Legendary Adventure.
