\"Solatorobo<\/a><\/figure>\n

Reflect on the Nintendo DS generation and you might remember the system exclusive Solatorobo: Red the Hunter<\/a><\/strong>. The action-RPG by CyberConnect2 was well-received across all regions but only sold around 100,000 copies worldwide.<\/p>\n

Is there a chance of the game ever getting a remake, though? CyberConnect2 boss Hiroshi Matsuyama was recently asked about this at a Q&A not long ago and said he was open to the idea. The main issue would be working out how to operate the game on a newer system that may not necessarily support the touch panel design of Solatorobo. Here’s the transcript, courtesy of Nintendo Everything<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, the possibility is there. As you know, Solaroboto was a game exclusively released on Nintendo DS. You all remember, right? Nintendo DS had two screens. The top screen was the play screen and the bottom one a touch panel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

On the operational side of things, it will be quite hard to port the game without a hardware that supports this system. It is possible to rebuild the touch panel system of Solatorobo, and integrate the bottom screen into a single screen, but would call for a complete remake. I feel that this would bring its own set of difficulties.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Matsuyama went onto state how “a lot” at CyberConnect2 would like to re-release the company’s games made during the DS and 3DS generation, but at the same time would be more likely to “start over from scratch” in the case of Solatorobo.<\/p>\n

\n

I personally think that, not only for our title Solatorobo, but also for a lot of other games that were made for the Nintendo DS and 3DS, a lot of us would like to re-release, whether just a downloadable version, an HD remastered version of these games, so that our current customers could play with our past properties, but at this time, I don\u2019t think the industry is aiming for that goal yet. If we were to remake Solatorobo, we would start over from scratch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
