Camelot wishes to make Shining Force 4 (and other Camelot and Treasure's tidbits)

Golden Sun 1 & 2 are my favorite RPG as well as my favorite games of all time. I didn't enjoy Dark Dawn enough to finish it plus some design choices soured me.
I want a Golden Sun 4 but no a continuation of the story of 1 & 2 like 3 was. Give me something standalone with a new cast, new psyenergy and a new story.

Whats the deal with Camelot any way? They third party? Seems like everything they make is for Nintendo for some reason.
I'd recommend using mednafen/retroarch. There are YouTube guides on how to set it up for Saturn games. It plays them wonderfully. Alternatively, SSF has a few audio issues with the game but otherwise works and is easier to set up.
Because their recent games use Nintendo ip, not that hard to understand why.
Everyone who mentioned Shining the Holy Ark - damn - everyone who even thought it in this thread. You are good people. I like all the Camelot RPG's - but damn if Holy Ark isn't my true love. It's just got a punch to it that makes it such a joy to play.
More like Nintendo is the only one giving them work for the last 2 decades.
at that point, there's no reason to revive it. the branding isnt want it once was, so nostalgia wont get you far. and just making "a good game" that people will buy is a lot harder than it sounds. at least waifu bait means you can charge exorbitant prices because you know some otakus will eat it up
Ugh.
Why the tease?
I've been hoping for a proper shining force sequel for decades.
I'd love to start seeing a revival of these old school rpgs. T'would be fricken sweet.

I think they just made another Hot Shots Golf for Sony. Though I may be wrong.
Clap Hanz makes Hot Shots (Everybody's) Golf, they're Sony second party.
Totally would be on board with Shining Force IV. Switch would be a good platform for it, given that you could play it on-the-go. Suitable for strategy RPG's.
The other day I dreamed that Shining Force IV was announced, that it would be in a 2D pixel art style (but not fully retro, more like faux-retro, think 32-bit graphics but not quite modern HD), there were some gorgeous screenshots and... then I woke up.
I'm sure it means something!

They most recently did Mario Sports Superstars (with Bandai Namco). At that rate they sure will. Just hope whoever at Nintendo keeps giving Camelot those contracts is also aware of the relative success Golf Story is enjoying.
That game also sold fucking horribly, didn't it? Not to mention its overly talky narrative didn't inspire a lot of people to finish it.
Camelot should go and find out where Phil Spencer keeps magically disappearing to when he's bullshitting us all about his productive trips to Japan. Xbox could easily money-hat Sega for an exclusive Shining Force 3 Remaster, or get Camelot working on a new IP altogether.
It would probably be cheap for Redmond, and earn goodwill for anime fans and consumers on Xbox who want traditional games and more variety, in the wake of their cancelled stuff.

For those who don't know, Compile is not only the studio behind the Puyo Puyo franchise(first brought to the west as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine & Kirby's Avalanche), but they're one of the most accomplished developers of shmup in the 8- and 16-bit era.
Guardian Legend, Blazing Lazers, and Space Megaforce are peerless.

Most of Compile's old arcade shooter developers left around 1993 to form Raizing. After that, Compile really went hard in on late PC-98 and Windows games, ranging from ARPGs to Disc Station releases (which had lots of mini-games and utilities/accessories), while using Puyo Puyo as a reliable cash-cow. The main reason they died was massive, poorly-timed expansion into a snazzy office in Fukuoka around the turn of the millennium.
Strangely enough, they made games directly for Sega, Sony and Nintendo during the 90's. They were like how Platinum is today.
Ahhh. I wish Nintendo and Sega collabed and let Camelot make a Shining Force 4 ala Fire Emblem.
Man, I love Shining Force 2. Like, top 5 games ever. Honestly, I'd take a remaster of Shining Force 3 at this point.
I would kill for this. SF2 was the first SRPG I ever played. It was on Genesis and it hooked me. That type of style of RPG is all but dead these days, and Im dying for a game in the genre. A new SF would be wonderful
What? They turned the shining series into that sort of shit? I haven't played the most recent ones. Thats really sad to hear.

? Don't think it has anything to do with Nintendo and I believe they are working on fire emblem switch themselves.
There's literally at least three other series they should be doing instead of a new Shining game. Don't get enticed by Fire Emblem's waifu money.
Don't mean it does. Just saying Nintendo would probably be the only ones to make a deal to get Shining Force made. Camelot and Nintendo seem close, and Sega obviously owns Shining Force. Sega making Shing Force on their own seems unlikely. They'd probably need some incentive from the big 3. But like you said, Nintendo already has FE, so maybe they'd think SF would be redundant? Dunno.
If Nintendo is going to contract Camelot for a RPG golden sun might be a better fit. Less trouble for them to get Sega on board unless like P* Camelot really wants to make a new shining star and follow the bayonetta 2 route
If and whenever this newfangled Shining Force IV happens, I want Yoshitaka Tamaki to design and illustrate both characters and monsters. He really deserves the work and he got his start largely by working on the first two Shining games. Few aside from me even know the name Fangs: The Saga of Wolf Blood, anyway.
Someone over at Microsoft should really pick up the flag and get some Japanese support. It's been 10 years of nothing after Lost Odyssey. Stories like this flying around, while Xbox is the odd man out, offering up a wasteland of a gaming lineup. It's a shame they can't even compete with Steam and it's old as fuck JRPGs.
