Exemplary Japanese developer Sunsoft has reported a virtual event for the next week, where it intends to flaunt titles coming in 2022 and 2023.
The showcase will happen on the organization’s YouTube channel at 1:00 PM PDT/9 PM BST on August 18.
Sunsoft was one of the first publishers licensed to publish games for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. It made classic titles for both original properties and significant licenses, like Batman. The organization’s games included Spy Hunter, Aero the Acro-bat, Blaster Master, and Uforia: The Saga.
“Although we have been quiet for some time, many things have been happening behind the scenes,” said Yuichi Ochi, general manager of Sunsoft. “We are very excited to be able to finally share our vision for the rebirth of Sunsoft with fans old and new.”
Sunsoft is the video game division of Japanese electronics manufacturer Suncorporation, established in 1971. In October 1978, Sunsoft started to develop video games in arcades with two titles, Block Challenger and Block Perfect.
It had a few arcade hits in the mid 1980s, like Arabian, Ikki and Kangaroo. On July 25, 1985, it released the first Famicon title Super Arabian in Japan under the Sunsoft brand.
Sunsoft is maybe most popular in the west for its Batman title, frequently referred to by fans as “Sunsoft Batman”
Sunsoft has been calm lately, with the organization’s last published games showing up in 2018, Dark Eclipse for PSVR and Shanghai Refresh for Nintendo Switch.
You’ll have the option to watch the Sunsoft virtual event on YouTube beginning at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET/9 PM in the UK/10 PM in Europe.
