Nightmare Busters, a 25-year-canceled SNES game that never came out, gets a second chance with an adaptation for PC and modern consoles.

The vagaries of fate sometimes cause games that were believed to be lost forever to have a new second chance. It has happened with some retro games, which were canceled on their original consoles, such as Nightmare Busters. This game from the French studio Arcade Zone was supposed to have been released in 1994 on Super Nintendo but was canceled for financial reasons. Two decades later, its creators took it up again with the support of fans, and it was released on SNES cartridges. That was in 2013.

Now, as many years later, a new publisher, Pix’n Love Publishing, and the Aurora Game Studio have decided to rescue this game by developing a version for PC and modern consoles, which has the supervision of the original creators.

Nightmare Busters: Rebirth is a run n ‘gun 2D action game starring Flynn and Floyd two leprechaun brothers (the traditional Irish goblins), in six colorful environments, to stop the evil Tyrant’s plans.

This modern edition, we can say remastered, completely updates the graphics, interface, and soundtrack, using traditional hand-drawn animation. The levels have also been redesigned, and the difficulty has been adjusted. Also, it added a two-player mode and other modes (speedrun, ultimate, museum …).

Nightmare Busters: Rebirth is currently in pre-production, so it may still be a long way from its release on PC and consoles (unspecified).

This case has reminded us of Clockwork Aquario, a Mega Drive game that never came out, but has brought together its original creators (Westone) to launch a version for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Many times, it is the fans who rescue the heritage of retro video games and even modernize it like what Piepacker does, a platform that will allow you to play retro games online.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has been confirmed this afternoon for consoles, probably including Nintendo Switch. It is a title that is likely to reach the hybrid console since it will be launched by those responsible for Streets of Rage 4, Panzer Paladin or Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, among others. For this reason, considering that these titles have reached the hybrid console, it is likely that we will receive it on Nintendo Switch.

For now, its specific release date has not been confirmed, so we will be attentive to more details. In the meantime, you can find the premise and trailer for this title below:

Check out the overview of the game:

Cohabitation with a naive succubus?! In this love-adventure game set in Akihabara, you can enjoy the sweetly thrilling and slightly naughty day-to-day life with an innocent succubus! The “E-mote” engine that can move illustrations smoothly and three-dimensionally is used for standing pictures in the game.

The characters displayed on the screen move as if they were alive.

Here is the story of the game:

The creatures of the demon world known as “succubus” use a male’s sexual energy, his “technoforce,” as their nourishment.

One day, one such succubus known as “Lovelia” appears suddenly before the main character to steal the power of his lust, known as his “technoforce.”

Considered to be one of the greatest beauties in 1000 years, Lovelia may look bewitching, but the truth is that this is her first ever work assignment and she is very naive when it comes to men.

Lovelia tries again and again to steal away his technoforce, but her innocence gets in the way of any real progress.

Unless Lovelia succeeds in harvesting the technoforce of the one she has chosen to possess, she can’t return home to the demon world, nor can she possess another man. …Lovelia finds herself stuck living together with the main character.”

Can Lovelia successfully harvest technoforce?!

Set in Akihabara, the awkwardly funny and slightly naughty new life of one naive succubus begins!

Contrary to appearance, Lovelia is actually a naive succubus apprentice.

Lovelia appears at the main character’s house in order to harvest his “technoforce,” the power derived from a male’s lust.　In the demon world, she is considered to be one of the greatest beauties in 1000 years, but Lovelia is still naive, despite being a succubus.

Lovelia has a strong tendency to day-dream, and the slightest comment from the main character leads her to have instant naughty fantasies.

Key features:

• Smooth character animation via the E-mote system.
• Different routes and endings.
• High-quality event CG.
• Story set in an actual Japanese town.
