WayForward Project Lead Says Its "Craziest, Most Impressive Lineup" Is On The Way

The lineup of games that WayForward’s working on now and that we’re about to start working on is probably

 It really is ridiculous how we’re hoarding those dream opportunities, and how much of that stuff that we have on the horizon going into the back end of 2022, and 2023 and beyond.

WayForward is a publisher and developer that's best known by some for its mascot Shantae, but in recent times has started to grow almost beyond its heroine

Particularly in terms of its development efforts its working on IPs and franchises with plenty of fans, notably teaming up with Nintendo

Tierney also talked a lot about River City Girls Zero, a 'Port+' project in which WayForward is bringing Japan-exclusive Super Famicom title Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-Tachi no Banka to a new audience

WayForward is adding a new opening cinematic and cutscenes, along with new music and dual audio (English and Japanese).

The project was taken on because the game inspired River City Girls, and also represents characters and themes that'll come up in River City Girls 2

Tierney outlined an interesting process of honouring and respecting the original while catering to current fans.

The craziest, most impressive lineup of a year or two of WayForward games I’ve ever seen. If we just started rattling off brands–some of them are video game brands
