Looks great, thanks for sharing! Curious how this one turns out, and if more "big" developers will dedicate teams to making projects like this. It seems like they could crank this out in 6 months with a skeleton crew and still ship a quality product.

Neato, I like old games getting looked at again.  Maybe they'll sneak in a rom/emu of the originals, kinda like Dracula X on PSP.

It's just too bad there's no PC-FX version.

EDIT: Ha! I forgot to mention that I love Terra Cresta II for PCE. I always mention that it is sweet because you can pump up your ship's speed and do crazy stuff. I wonder how SOL CRESTA is... I'm gonna have to find more games on modern consoles that are (hopefully) not BULLET HELL because the video suggests that SOL CRESTA didn't stray too far from what I like. 

EDIT: Ha! I can get this on Switch.

IGNORE:
I do not have PS4. The most modern PlayStation I have is PS2. DAMMIT.

I told my kids I was going to find the old DDR Mat for PS2 so we can play some DDR. They've never seen the PS2, believe it or not (they are 11).
