Gunstar Heroes returns

[TheHammerGod]

Just got back from Borders and the new issue of Play has an article confirming a sequel to Gunstar Heroes and it is being developed by Treasure.

Now if only they will send my sub copy so I don't have to stand in Borders getting my video game news.

[spider-man]

Is it the april issue (possible april fools joke?). If not, then it should be interesting to see how this turns out.

[TheHammerGod]

Well, if it is it is a hell of one, lol. They even have the blurb and photo on the front cover down in the corner. Hmmm.. maybe I should have double checked to make sure it wasn't a joke. Damn those April Fools Jokes.

[kainemaxwell]

This one better not be a joke. Alot of gamers, most of us rather, have been wanting a sequel to GH for the longest time!! if it is true, it better damn be good.

[Tachikoma]

TheHammerGod, what issue has the article? Is it the April issue with Psychonauts on the cover?

[TheHammerGod]

No it is the one after that, it must have JUST come in. It has the Gunstar Heroes on the lower right corner of the cover, that's why I noticed it.

Well, that and the fact that as a subscriber I have not got the new issue yet, that always kills me. I am not sure what it is but lately my magazines have been coming later and later, hell i am still waiting for the EGM w/ PSU on the cover.

Yes it's confirmed, Gunstar Heroes (sequel) will be on GBA

March 18th it was announced

[TheHammerGod]

Well, I am not sure it was announced back then - at least according to the article you link to:

"When contacted, the company would not comment on the registered trademark or which system the game may be in development for. It's also unknown if the game is a console or handheld title."

I hold out hope for a non-gba game.

Finally, a sequel to a great game.

Now if we could just get an updated version of Streets of Rage

[GrandAmChandler]

It's about Damn time!

Now why won't other developers follow suit and give gamers what they want? Simplicity with cool addons and decent graphics.

Not that hard people!

I just hope I can get a free copy of that Play magazine before my buddies at the local EB throw them in the trash next month!

Well, I am not sure it was announced back then - at least according to the article you link to:

I hold out hope for a non-gba game.

Reason why I claim on the GBA theory, because it's linked to the GBA section of IGN.

That doesn't mean it was announced or confirmed. Speculation on their part, the article made it clear that they were just guessing.

please any system besides the GBA or DS

please any system besides the GBA or DS

Man I would love to play Gunstar Heroes while in the bathroom. Maybe i should just get a Nomad.

[geelw]

er...anyone remember advance guardian heroes? i say treasure should just do this for the psp in 2D and take advantage of the hardware, millions more colors and widescreen. if they ruin this one on the gb-whatever and don't make the game as great as astro boy: the omega factor, i'm sure some treasure fans are gonna want to bury them

i'd actually love to see sin & punishment on either the ds with the touchscreen used, or on the psp, again-widescreen and plenty of treasure effects happening... x_x

[Damon Plus]

It has only took them 12 years...

[MegaDrive20XX]

That doesn't mean it was announced or confirmed. Speculation on their part, the article made it clear that they were just guessing.

Yet, when I said announced, means they said it. As for confirmed, I meant as in, it has been proven that there will be another Gunstar Heroes

[Crush Crawfish]

Hmm...I'd love to see a sequel to Gunstar Heroes, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much...I loved Astro Boy, but Advance Guardian Heroes was a huge dissapointment, IMO. Let's just hope treasure does a really good job on it!

[Kid Fenris]

er...anyone remember advance guardian heroes?

Yes, and it was pretty good. Lacking in polish, but still fun. It has some of the best level design I've ever seen in a beat-'em-up.

While I agree that a Gunstar sequel would look better on the PSP, Astro Boy and Advance Guardian Heroes show that Treasure can do a lot with the GBA hardware.

Screens of Gunstar Super Heroes follow. I really hope this isn't some delayed April Fool's gag.
