パブリッシャーとしてセガと任天堂は神
Huh, interesting that he mentions Sega. I guess it must be Sega of, like, MegaDrive days? I dunno if today they're as willing to give devs money and just let them do whatever they want.
But in any case, amazing to hear from him again, can't wait to see what Treasure has in store!
Man, that guy is such a treasure! I wanna high-five him so hard that it might be a sin and a punishment!
I show myself out already...
Poster says it's from this live stream. http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv308025200 , around 1hour 45min mark.
Can't verify since I don't have Niconico prime though.
If a N64 Virtual Console on Switch was a possibility, Mischief Makers needs to be part of that.
He first praised Sega and Nintendo for being excellent publishers, who give freedom unlike others.
Then he said they are working on new title for 'famous hardware' according to the post.
No. There is another. PlatinumGames.
I'd love to see another game from Treasure.
Oh interesting thanks. I'll do my best to be realistic. Just nice to see any sort of life from one of my faves.
I'd love a Treasure comeback, even if it's just collections/ports of their older titles.
Sin and Punishment 1/2 HD on a single cartridge and a compilation of their Xbox 360 games (Bangai-O, Radiant Silvergun. Ikaruga, Guardian Heroes) on a single cartridge, please! Just get M2 to handle the ports!

I'd like to see Konami get Treasure and G.rev back together again and release Gradius 6.
That sort of thing only happens in my wildest of dreams but it's still good to hear from Treasure again.

Man I'm just happy Treasure even still exists. I actually had to look them up a couple days ago because they were so silent I figured they'd closed and I never found out. Treasure and Game Arts are the two developers whom I will unconditionally buy a title from regardless of marketing or review scores. Both defined my childhood and it's a shame to see that they've both gone relatively quiet over the past decade or so.
I'm glad Xbox Live got ports of Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes.
I'd like to see a new Gunstar Heroes, or even a new Light Crusader game.

Huh, they're alive (Well, "they" might be pushing it, how many people do they have these days anyway?).
If they don't want to make social games their most logical and profitable choice would be to work with Nintendo on a new Star Fox that is not gimped by stupid decisions (Sin & Punishment would be nice but is not a big name at all).

So he says SEGA and Nintendo were the best publishers he's worked with?
Gunstar Big Damn Heroes exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Calling it now!

Judging by how on-board Psikyo is with the platform, I would say they have a decent following on Switch too.
Treasure made some of the best games of my childhood.
Please end up making something great again!

But...
And oh boy, please come back, Treasure. And please make an original new IP or for Nintendo a new Star Fox and redeem Star Fox Zero!
Sorry PG :,(
I went through a period circa 2's release where I was absolutely obsessed with them. As an interpretation of the arcade-style shooter, they're ingenious (I wish there were indie clones of them tbh), and in terms of game design they're masterclasses. The idiosyncratic level concepts, moody art styles and unapologetically incoherent stories just make them more endearing. The series is one of gaming's many beautiful forgotten children.
It's posts like this that make me hope Phil Spencer decides to acquire them, and cackle like Skeletor from a mountain near Redmond.
Social mobile games are a market reality though. They're too lucrative to ignore. Even Nintendo getting on that train, and many thought they would be the last holdouts. The trick for Japanese publishers is to find a balance between packaged games and mobile, and most have done that. Treasure is a small company though and likely doesn't have the resources to focus on both. Their last game came out 3 years ago.
Interested to see what they're working on anyway though. I'm a simple man. I see a Sin & Punishment on the eShop, I buy it.

My mind went straight to robotic tigers
Isn't Bangai-O one of their properties? Would love to see that series make a resurgence too - can't think of any other bullet hell / puzzle / make your own crazy levels games.
At this point I'd take anything. Glad to hear him say that though, such a relief.
If the rumour of the Switch game is true according to that NicoNico video, then that'd be beyond amazing. I really do hope that Nintendo are funding a game for them to work on and that it will be awesome. I miss Treasure so damn much. We need them.

Speaking of which, anyone end up importing Gaist Crusher? I know it was a huge financial bomb, but was it any good gameplay wise?
I agree, but it's good to have at least one japanese developer not interested in social games. At least for me as a niche consumer, lol
