Thunderforce returns!!!
Oh my goodness, this has to be the best news since… well… ever.
Thanks to some scans that are currently circulating the internet, one of the finest shoot-em-up franchises of all time is about to get it’s long awaited sixth outing.
Initially rumoured to be released on Sega’s Dreamcast, Sega has now revealed that it will be bringing the gorgeous looking shooter out later this year exclusively on Sony’s PlayStation2. It’s highly unlikely that this will be getting a UK release (shoot-em-ups are about as popular in the West as a fox in a chicken coop) but that doesn’t mean we won’t be picking up a copy later on in the year. There’s no official pics yet, so you’ll have to make do with a shot or two from the wonderful Thunderforce III instead. More news as and when we get it.

Call me a Luddite if you will, but a new Thunder Force could be the thing that finally makes me buy a PS2. I only hope it plays better than TFV did on PS1. I never liked it, though that might be the fault of Working Designs upping the difficulty level.
Thunder Force IV still ranks as one of the best games ever, IMHO.
