I'm still in the process of learning to play S.S.H's Thunder Force IV track on my own geetar. I'm on track to be fully capable by 2028. No seriously though. Thunder Force is the shit. Re-release it right now Sega, I'll buy three.
I wonder if we will get Hyper Duel considering that game is an excellent spiritual sequel to Thunder Force.
agreed! man, so glad these classics are in the right hands - hoping for TF III & IV (II as well, i guess) to hit steam/etc in the near future! after what konami did to hudson & square kinda burying taito, i needed news like this.
AirMech pretty much is that, though :v: I'd love a new Thunder Force, but only if they get Hyakutaro Tsukumo back. TFVI's soundtrack was flaccid because of the music not being that amazing synth-metal (sorry Tamayo Kawamoto, I love your other work!) and the rest of the game felt off to me. Only redeeming factor was the one boss that did the Segagaga style transformation.
This is a really obscure request, but I'd love to see a remake of the first Thunder Force done is a retro style. I know it's not exactly the pinnacle of the series, but I've always been curious about it since it never made it to the west.
You aren't missing anything. Imagine the top down segments from TFII but with no power ups and for the whole game, that's about it. No music either, just beeping noises and explosion sounds.
