Spelunker? As in the old NES game where if you fall a centimeter you die?
What has atlus done?
Huh, I thought people liked Spelunky (that game is from the same series as this, right?)
Gaf reactions are so weird...
Nope, Spelunker and Spelunky are two different series.

Spelunker predates Spelunky by a couple of decades. I'm not sure if it was an arcade game, but I AM aware it was on the Famicom and NES back in the day.
Is it popular in Japan? When they revealed it, seeing the picture of the audience(lots of enthusiastic girls), they seemed pretty stoked.
I don't know, was Spelunker HD good? There seems to be some love for it here, I enjoyed Spelunky for its compelling challenge, but Spelunker's a different thing. The only thing I liked about the trailer for Spelunker HD (never bought the real game) was the multiplayer, but it's not co-op so it seems like just a novelty multiplayer mode more than something that's structured for groups to enjoy. What's good about Spelunker besides the fact that it's so old-school that it burns?
For PS4 guys.

I think it's kinda endearing to see such a(what most of us would call) "obscure" old franchise still alive and kicking. There's been larger franchises that made MORE of a dent, but are now dead, which this one has been around since the 80s and people(particularly the Japanese) still love it. It's kinda cool.But if Japanese people liked than it probably was popular. .
And Japanese PS Home had a Spelunker adventure area, where you had to collect treasure while avoiding hazards. It was janky, but it existed because there was interest.Yeah, Spelunker is actually still pretty relevant. Just in the past few years we got two PS3 games (Spelunker HD and Spelunker Black), a PS3/Vita Collection of the older Spelunker games, the Spelunker character had a cameo in 3D Dot Game Heroes (and there was a "Spelunker Difficulty Mode") and Everyday Spelunker on mobile.
Hey man, at one point I didn't even know the difference between Spelunky, Spelunker and Steamworld Dig, so I'd say I learned a lot in the world of digging...PS4 Spelunker HD? Fuck yes.
Also, LOL at people using Spelunky as their reference point. Buncha noobs up in this.
Yeah, I didn't even know there were still rereleases for Spelunker, I remember seeing the NES game once and that was it.I think it's kinda endearing to see such a(what most of us would call) "obscure" old franchise still alive and kicking.

Wizardry is another example.I think it's kinda endearing to see such a(what most of us would call) "obscure" old franchise still alive and kicking.

I need to start playing these games, they actually seem pretty fun =X
If you have a PS3, Spelunker HD is a pretty good place to start. The game lets you save and quit in the middle of levels, so if you die you can at least pick up where you left off. Or if you have a mobile device I'd say give Everyday Spelunker a shot. It's basically a port of the NES game but with unlimited continues.
I unfortunately don't have a PS3 =X
But I know people that have, so I'll try playing there.
Any good version on PC? Or do I have to play Spelunky and Steamworld Dig here?
I'm just flabbergasted at this point.
This seriously warranted a teaser site? Really? They might as well have just came out and announced it and saved a few people some sleep.
As far as I know, Spelunker HD is only PlayStation platforms, whereas the original games are on mobile/Nintendo platforms (though the Nintendo versions aren't updated with continues and rope assist features).
PS4 Spelunker HD? Fuck yes.

Have Square finally achieved master troll status now? I feel the past year has been incredible as far as trolling their fanbase is concerned.
When Atlus or Kojima troll, it's usually worth it or straight up funny.
But with SE, it's just mean-spirited D:
I miss this art-style and the subsequent style.
easily modified for GAF and Square Enix.

At least when SE trolls they show us a game, not clothes...
I don't see much difference between Atlus/Kojima trolling and SE trolling, other than the fact that GAF loves the first and hates the second.
For PS4 guys.
What? No. Comparing Atlus teases to SE teases is fucking insane.
Sure, Atlus is the least worst. SE is the second worst, and Kojima is the worst in trolling. But saying that what Kojima and Atlus does is "fun and worth it" is bs.

Right. That clothing line for MGS is everything I've ever wanted.No it's not, because they deliver things of substance that are genuinely exciting in the end.
Spelunker is popular in Japan, I'm pretty sure people there disagree with your statement.Eh, I legitimately enjoy what Atlus does with their teasing. That stream with the Persona Q and Persona 5 announcements was wonderfully surreal and entertaining.
Edit: and like Flux said, Atlus delivers, SE basically never does.

Was it the thing he was teasing via Twitter? How is that comparable to a dedicated, countdown website? And what about P.T. leading to the Silent Hills reveal? What about Joakim Mogren? When's the last time Square Enix has teased something leading up to a great reveal like that?
New SaGa tease? Type-0 HD? Dragon Quest Heroes?
SE has LITERALLY only done countdown websites for when they are publishing a small project or port. It has been like this for YEARS, that's the way they use to announce small games.
