DID YOU KNOW that Criterion Games, the developers behind the Burnout series, were at one point in the early 2000s at least A YEAR into development on a remake sequel to Skate or Die? Imagine if Konami were to pick up where they left off, and bring this OG counter-culture skate series back to life.
But in the absence of a Skate sequel - and to provide some friendly competition - it's only natural that Konami should bring back their most bitchin' rival, "Skate or Die". It's great that we're getting what looks like a proper Tony Hawk remake this year. Maybe add in a remix mode where you can swap characters between games and you’d get $60 out of us, pretty much no questions asked. If you have to play it now, it’s always possible to set up a Japanese Nintendo eShop account, so you can get to downloading Sunset Riders right now if you so choose.All you really have to do here is bundle all three titles in one collection, give the visuals a little tune-up, translate some of the more novel DS stylus controls to Xbox and Playstation controllers, maybe send Igariashi a check and a handwritten apology and you’re off to the races. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be: historically, the Arcade Archives lineup in Japan has pretty solid parity with those other two regions, so hopefully official word will come soon.
There’s no guarantee that it’ll be in the European or North American eShops tomorrow as of this writing. The catch? It’s only been announced for Japan, so far. Natsume’s Wild Guns was recently added to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog of SNES games, but did you know that there’s another legendary adventure set in the same time period that was also released on Nintendo’s classic 16-bit console? That game was Konami’s Sunset Riders! Saddle up, cowboys (and girls) because the game is joining Hamster’s Arcade Archives lineup this week.
