Tecmo is either desperate to make some money or desperate to prove that they can still finish a game, because they've dragged
Rygar: The Battle of Argus back from whatever development limbo they had been keeping it in. Tecmo announced that the expanded remake of the PS2
Rygar: The Legendary Adventure will ship to North American retailers in December.
We were
certain this game had been quietly cancelled. Why else would
over a year pass before the release of what is essentially a port? Maybe it's turned into
less of a port in the intervening period. Check Kotaku for a bunch of new screens!

Its been a strange journey following Rygar, that's for sure
But December? Certainly not the right month. This holiday is far too packed

I'm glad to hear it. With Nintendo's line-up lacking a bit, I'll put a plus next to any 3rd party game that fills my adventuring void.
...and I was a big Rygar fan back in the day. I really loved the NES version and WISH the big N would put it on the VC. It seems to have been skipped over alongside Strider, the Legendary Axe and some other fun side-scrolling adventure/platformers (Bionic Commando of course would be on the list)

Sounds like so far the closest thing to a new Rygar coming out on the Wii is going to be going outside and throwing the Wiimote at people then pulling put back Nunchuk Attachment. Which could be alot of fun if you add some blades to the Wiimote.
