===ALERT!===

A highly anticipated sequel is approaching fast!
Shmup name: Thunderforce VI
Our hope for a sequel died three times and was reborn twice...

Yes, a mainstream gaming forum has obtained the latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, containing the following official japanese release date for TF6:

Thunderforce VI - PS2 - 10/30

Could 11 years of waiting be finally over.

holy SHIT....

I'm actually letting myself get a tad excited... I hope this is not BS.

Keeping it PS2 makes sense for Technosoft, who probably don't have a lot of money at the moment.

This could be full of awesomeness, as long as they've been developing all this time, and not just cranking out a rushed title in three months.

Pretty please be true.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE.

Might as well call it Zombieforce VI at this point.

I'm not expecting much, but, I hope it's less like TFV on Saturn & PS1, more like TFIII, TFIV on MD/Gen.

First details, allegedly translated from Famitsu by the forum that broke the news...

Thunderforce VI is developed by Sega. It is directed by Tez Okano, the writer and director of Segaga for DC and Astro Boy Omega Force for GBA. He says that his favorite entry in the Thunderforce series is IV. The game is 3D but still a horizontal shooter.

Neogaf? Bwahahaha. Still waiting for them to activate my account from a year ago.

Just don't get your hopes up.

Thunderforce VI - PS2 - 10/30

That looks like what the score Famitsu gives it will be. Interesting and unexpected news, anyway.

Mother of pearl. This may be the very thing that causes me to finally break down and buy a PS2, if you can believe that.

Coverage. Whodathunkit?

This looks very well! I've never been into TF series (tried TF III, iirc, but didn't enjoy it), but I'd like to try this one.

Bad translation, the article says that his favorite weapon is Blade in TF4 not that TF4 is his favorite game in the series....go go internet Japanese students

Also says that it is not the original staff working on this game.

I really didn't think this was real until I saw that magazine scan. And still, I can't quite 100% believe it... Wow. And only a few months to wait too.

OMG I can't wait. Looks a lot, to me, like Gradius V from the picts. If its anything close to that Treasure game....I can't wait.

TF3 is probally my fav game of all time, 4 and 5 are very close behind.
I am sooooo happy

I hope Sega brings it out in the US...If not, I am glad I kept my PS2 (for importing) after getting my PS3.

.....now we need Axelay 2

Pre-ordered, and that affiliate link has been changed to a normal one.

Pretty interesting that they'd announce then release the game in a 3 month span.
