Well, not where I expected Sunsoft to start (although people who thought this meant remasters of Batman or Fester's Quest are up in their heads...) but it's good to have the Sunsoft name and library back in action.
Regarding Ikki Unite... I can't tell if this gameplay is cheap and horrible, or clever and deep? At first glance, it looked like a web games from 2006 (it ain't a pretty game, and it doesn't seem to run well,) but watching the trailer again, I've gotten curious about the mechanics and the design choices.
This was the original Ikki, btw:
Vampire Survivors sold very well despite really bad graphics, this is one of many attempts to cash in on this new survivors rogue-like trend.
It's probably the best they could do with the license, having a deliberate 8-bit aesthetic suits the genre and will prey on nostalgia among Japanese players.
I freakin' love the 'em, so I signed up for beta right away.
If you somehow missed the survivors hype train, check out Maiden Voyage's thread.
