I'd only want that if they get the original team back together to do a Metal Stoker II :D

Another vote here for Technosoft.. Man that would be sweet.

This thread is so sad and necrophilic.

i don't think anyone has a sexual attraction to any of these companies

i mean if they actually do then that's a whole 'nother concern

Imagine a world where their staff patiently remained at the company instead of migrating to SNK. That new IP of theirs surely would have been able to keep them afloat for a while longer.

we are jerking off to a genre that will probably be dead outside of the indie/doujin escene in 10 years from now so we are, everyone, a little necrophilic...

Wolf Team

Mid-Garts II: Middling With A Vengeance

T&E Soft II, although it would probably be just another links game

In all seriousness, don't we still have Seibu? And they release...things...under the name MOSS, so...

Toaplan and NMK would be the best choices.

Do you really seriously think the same guys that did the old Raidens did any of the recent material? Caladrius doesn't look like something from Seibu at all to me.

Certainly the head honco has retired, but some of the other guys might have carried on. I think a lot of the problem with Caladrius is the move to unimpressive 3D and the possible onset of consoleitis. We'll know more once it's released.

Metal Stoker looks a bit like Ark Area / Nova 2001, doesn't it? Of course, another vote for NMK would be the correct response...still, it looks promising.

Alfaystem to make a new Shikigami , Eighting for Armed Police Batrider 2 , Skonec to make a new Psyvariar , Takumi for Mars Matrix 2 , Technosoft for Thunderforce VII , Toaplan to do a sequel to Batsugun!

Konami. Technically still alive, but not the same as they used to be. As far as companies that are dead, I would like to see Irem and Compile come back.

Hey, you've got your own stuff to watch out for :twisted:

I'm talking about their Caladrius release, not Raiden Fighters Aces, which is a great port of a great series of course.
