I shat bricks.

Are you referring to this?: http://www.tecnosoft.com/

Registrant Contact:
Twenty-one Co.,Ltd.
Tecnosoft Divi.

21 Co is the Pachinko maker that bought out Technosoft, so if this is a hoax, they really did their research.

Hasn't that page been around for awhile? In any case the domain name expires on "Expiration date: 12 Nov 2008 00:00:00" so we'll at least we'll have SOMETHING to look forward to in terms of something happening.

(Topic revived in November with someone saying, "The webpage disappeared and now it's up again with the same stuff! What could this mean?")

Here what'll happen...

A new update to the site will be posted, saying a new Thunder Force game will be released sometime in 2009. A bit of hype will be built up, and then... Thunder Force: The Pachinko Board.

Someone is fucking with you guys hardcore.

There's no way this is all legit.

And if it is, I really don't need to see Tecno Soft run their name into the ground like so many other developers that were good during that time have been (i.e. Sega).

Folks, this website has been up for several years. Every time it's about to expire it is auto-renewed.
Funny how every 6 months or so someone at this board discovers it and goes "Wow, Technosoft is back".

Yes the website has been up for a long time but this time the content was changed to:

New THUNDERFORCE Coming Soon!

It never mentioned a new Thunderforce in particular.

So call me somewhat excited (if they get the team for the music department back it would already be enough reason to look out for this).

PC version would be much appreciated, otherwise X360 as it rapidly is becoming the new shmups haven anyway.

Hmm. While I'd love for that low-tech page to suddenly become a modern flash page confirming Technosoft's return AND a Thunder Force 6...

Placing my bets on this. If it's real and the intention is to tease, it's the worst tease I've seen. I bought into this at one time, but now I'm very skeptical about the page and everything behind it.

The WhoIs domain check did verify its origins........

This is certainly 21 Company, which did buy Technosoft.

So if it is a joke, Technosoft members are the ones behind it......maybe it is just some low level employee messing with the webpage on his lunch break......

but one can still dream, right? The world is ready for TF 6.

The page used to say "We will restart soon! Please wait for a while"

I don't think any of you should get your hopes up, though.
