Rygar remake coming out for real?
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!

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.

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)
