Let the wave of nostalgia wash over you
Sony had previously said it was planninga big pushinto mobile gaming, with CEO Kaz Hirai citingPokémon Goas a “real game-changer.” This week, the company’s ForwardWorks subsidiary previewed some of the PlayStation properties that will find their way onto phones in 2017 and beyond.
There’sHot Shots Golf, the first of the batch, coming to iOS and Android this spring from Drecom.
Then there’s the summer-setNo Heroes Allowed! Dash!from SIE Japan Studio, also for iOS and Android.
Reboots ofArc the LadandWild Arms, with involvement from original staff members, are on the cards as well. That’s certainly one way to bring back these fan-favorite, sorely-missed properties.
I am overwhelmed. Are you overwhelmed? There are lots of unknowns here, but I do know thatPaRappaandNo Heroes Allowedare two names I’m glad to see pop up in any capacity. Mobile isn’t my preferred platform for either series, by any means, but I’ll gladly show up and give ’em a chance.
