*NEW* 16-bit game by SEGA of Japan

[Christuserloeser]

In the works for two years, SEGA of Japan is about to release a new 16-bit arcade game: It's a remake of the Master System exclusive Fantasy Zone II running on Sega's System 16 arcade hardware, which is what the original Fantasy Zone used when it's been released in 1985, and after which they modeled the Mega Drive / Genesis hardware in 1988.

Oh, that's very nice

Yeah, afaik, this is the very first commercial 16-bit game to be specifically developed to be released via emulation. I really wonder what they will do with that concept in the future. A new Mega Drive / Genesis game would rock. I think there are quite a few people that would kill for a new Streets of Rage...
