Konami Reviving Rocket Knight
Konami has announced another of their old school properties will be getting a new gen makeover. Rocket Knight, first seen on the Genesis nearly two decades ago, will be ricocheting onto the XBLA, PSN and Steam later this year. In the game you play as Sparkster, a knight with a rocket pack. Ok, so it's a bit bizarre. But the new version looks like a fun 2.5D adventure. It's slated for release later this year. Screens from the game can be seen here. |

Fucking awesome. I love these remakes we're getting. Sign me up as a day-one purchaser.

And somewhere, Wasson squeals like a schoolgirl.

They announced this a few months ago. The best part is, it's not a remake; it's a third game in the series.

Wow. I need to start learning people's names. I had no idea Wasson was that guy, until someone said his name because he changed his avatar from Sparkster to the Logo from the U.N. Squadron

Nice. I never got to play the originals, and really should rectify that. After watching the HVGN video about them it makes me wonder how I missed them the first time around.

yep...I've gotta set the U.N. Squadron "Immolating Equine" aside for good ol' Sparkster.
BTW- i remember so calling this before it was ever announced. Just saying is all...

 In that trailer it actually shows two different games for the Sparkster part.
