To be honest, we had some doubts when we saw the announcement of PlatinumGames. Indeed, we should not forget that originally, Sol Cresta is an April Fool referring to Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta, two shoot’em ups released in the 80s. But since the game is well and truly classified speak Game Rating Board South-Korean, that doesn’t sound like a joke this time around. Moreover, the Japanese studio specifies that Sol Cresta is the first title in a series of Neo Classic Arcade games, and that it is in development for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4.
For the release date, we’ll have to wait a bit longer, but this PlatinumGames way of doing things is reminiscent of the method used by SEGA for the RPG mechanics of Yakuza: Like a Dragon which also started under the form of a joke. We know the rest.
