Sunsoft Hosting New Digital Event To Announce Upcoming Titles - Nintendo Life

Sunsoft, the company behind series like Blaster Master, has announced it will be hosting a new digital event next week on August 18th?

In a PR, Sunsoft general manager, Yuichi Ochi mentioned how the company was "very excited" to finally be able to share its vision for the "rebirth" of Sunsoft - with both new and old fans.

And if you're wondering, yes - "Sunsoft is back", as highlighted in the below video:.

"SUNSOFT is the video game division of Japanese electronics manufacturer SUNCORPORATION, established in 1971.

In October 1978, SUNSOFT began to develop video games in arcades with two titles, Block Challenger and Block Perfect.

On July 25, 1985 we released the first Famicon (NES) title Super Arabian in Japan under the SUNSOFT brand.

"SUNSOFT is known for being a retro-game developer and publisher of such titles as Gimmick!, Blaster Master, Spy Hunter, BATMAN, Tripworld, Ufouria the Saga, and more."!

What would you like to see from Sunsoft's upcoming event.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

This better be Blaster Master news.

I have a Blaster Master tattoo!

Not because it’s a great game (it’s a good game but not great) but because I only had three games for my SNES for a while and I had to play something?

But I have very fond memories that I’d like to relive, please?

I remember the last time Sunsoft "was back," all the way in 2009.

The Wii saw some of their games come to VC, and "Blaster Master Overdrive" was a thing.

I feel like they've still been around some way or another, mostly in Inti Creates' "Blaster Master Zero" trilogy and a few guest appearances in other games like Penguin Wars.

@Krambo42 @Friendly oh I remember those games, they were awesome and quite challenging too, Dead Valley Rally and Duck Dodgers were so good, Rabbit Rampage was the only one I didn't finished, that Coyote scene was tough?

I still remember this company publishing a lot of Looney Tunes games back in SNES days.

I really only played and beat all the zero games but never played through the original BM.

I love Sunsoft!

But I remember them for their 2D wizardry.?

is this the Sunsoft that’s coming back for us?.

I can remember playing games as a kid that had Sunsoft’s logo come up, but I can’t actually remember what games they were?

I, for one, would like to see a new Waku Waku 7, please and thank you!

A Sunsoft Collection would be nice!

Don't forget about Journey to Silius, which I played and beat for the first time a few days ago thanks to Nintendo Switch Online.

I'd love to see something else along the lines of Blaster Master Zero, either for another franchise, or just a fourth game, though I'd also be happy with a straight collection for Blaster Master (as long as they include the wiiware game. I know it might not have been the best game, but it still doesn't deserve to be lost to the wiiware graveyard.), or just a Sunsoft misc.

Either way, its great to see more companies crawl out from their graves!

Its weird to be living in a world where both SNK and Sunsoft are back making big games again!

I just want them to compose new music for the Blaster Master Zero series.

The Zero games have great gameplay but utterly forgettable music.

My favourite NES game ever is Gimmick!?

The star-throwing mechanic is so nuanced and unique for an NES game, there's just nothing else like it?

It's a short game, but the difficulty makes it tough to master.

on the Switch, or better yet a new game....

At the very least I'd want a Sunsoft classics collection.

Thanks for linking to this video

I didn't know about this remake, and I'm a little sad it's only an arcade game

Gremlins 2: The New Batch Zero please

Sunsoft has been laying in limbo for years, so this awesome to see

It would be nice to have those games on the Switch

@MrGawain Bat Man, Journey to Silius, Blaster Master (I think) Guardian Legend, and I think they had a racing game
