Isn’t this being made internally at Sega? I thought the Astro Boy Omega Factor director was behind it?

PS2? Then wii port for worldwide release (improved graphically), better than wishing for it to be a downloadable game.

Well it’s the Technosoft Brand, so it’s not technically the old Technosoft, owned by TwentyOne. They also have Kazue Matsuoka if K.Matsuoka is the same person who licensed the game. That’s all the Famitsu page says so it’s a little unclear.

I really hope someone brings this to the US. PS2 isn’t dead yet.

“After Thunder Force V, Technosoft disappeared when it was purchased by a Pachinko company.”

It’s entirely possible I’m mistaken (long night and it’s been several years) but I believe Technosoft produced games after TFV in the form of the Neorude RPGs amongst other, atypical (at least for them), fare. I can recall, vaguely, thinking “wtf” when those games kept being announced/coming out and wondering “where the hell is TFVI?!”

Are you totally sure the developer is Technosoft.

Thought Sega said its not Technsoft but some other not revealed group – source NeoGAF

I have no words to describe my excitement at this news and that picture.
