And finally, we had to wait 34 long years to finally enjoy a remake of this wonderful game, in my opinion the best ever made for the NES (forgive me for Shadow of the Ninja and Batman Return of the Joker). For those who don't know, Natsume had programmed Shatterhand and was going to release it in Japan and America, BUT Angel, which held the license for the Solbrain series, commissioned Natsume to make a game based on the series. Natsume modified the Shatterhand game, and as a result, a "different" version was released in Japan, while in America, we had the game in its purest form. I knew the rights were held by Jaleco, but with its demise or due to expiration dates, they returned to Natsume around 2009, although they never made it public. With luck, they only released a compilation album with all the songs from Natsume's most well-known franchises (including Shatterhand). Even so, it's sad that those of us who loved this game had to wait a lifetime to finally enjoy a remake.
@Zuljaras Two years ago, someone wrote one of the most detailed reviews I've ever seen of this game (which is also a cult classic of mine), unfortunately it's only in Spanish.
Final Vendetta disappointed me as a game, it has absolutely nothing redeeming about it and in fact I'm surprised they gave them the license for Doom and Terminator.
As a Jaleco fan, I think the people at City Connection Games should go back to the original name (I don't care if it once belonged to a Japanese real estate company, Jaleco's name will always be associated with video games). And they should release a sequel to City Connection.
But if the Space Invaders movie was already made many years ago, it's called War of the Worlds, even Spielberg made a remake in 2005. I'd much rather they make it a biopic like Tetris; that formula worked and it worked.
This series is truly awful. Mega Man's design reminded me a lot of Popeye, and the animation style was very Hanna-Barbera (meaning the artists were working without motivation just to keep up and save money).
I'm far ahead of the OVAs that came out in Japan several years ago, needless to say it surpasses the series in every way and in fact it deserved to be released on Blu-ray.

Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce "Amiga"?
Stop trying to pronounce it in English. The word "Amiga" is pronounced "female friend."
Thanks.
