We will release it for Mega Drive / Genesis. I’m making the soundtrack and have also been back as a game designer since Beyond Oasis [aka The Story of Thor].Looking at these pictures, you probably don’t think this game will be a bullet-hell. We respect games of the days we love and will make this a fun game to shoot with a new system, fascinating graphics, characters, and a soundtrack.The soundtrack and sound effects will definitely go with a native YM2608 driver. It’s about the first time in 30 years that I’ve worked on Mega Drive / Genesis since I made all the songs for the Beyond Oasis. Of course, there’s no CD audio streaming.Related Content – Sony PS5 Complete Guide – Everything Explained About PlayStation 5 For New Owners In 2022Koshiro revealed that details including price and a release date have currently yet to be confirmed, but has promised to keep fans informed of its progress.[Source – Yuzo Koshiro on Twitter]
