Neste år fyller Last Ninja-serien 30 år, og for å markere dette har utvikler System 3 annonsert at de skal slippe en remake av trilogien, finansiert fansen via Kickstarter. Kronerullingen starter i 2017, og på utviklerens Facebook-side skriver de følgende om de nye versjonene av de klassiske C64-spillene:
Finally, the announcement that most of you have been waiting for. Last Ninja celebrates its 30th Anniversary in 2017. To celebrate that, System 3 will release a remake to the Last Ninja series featuring Last Ninja 1,2 and 3. The games will have additional locations and puzzles to solve plus an updated fighting system. The game will keep its isometric view but allow the levels to be created in 3D to allow the player to zoom into the action. Last Ninja will be made available to crowd funding on Kick Starter on February 3 2017.
We will have many of the original team members working on this including John Twiddy and Matt Grey. Matt will be assisted in the music department by the now legendary German team Sound of Games. The art will be supervised and directed by Dan Malone, Robin Levy and Joe Walker. An additional team of some 20 artists will be under their care. Over the coming weeks we will announce the stretch goals and on January 13 we will announce what machines we will be supporting.
Vi antar at det er mange i alderen 30+ som kan oppleve pustebesvær nå, men ta det med ro. Det er bare en gledesreaksjon.
