Some nice retro news for the forums. Clear River Games and Limited Run Games will be releasing a modern port of the Quintet SNES action RPG Terranigma.



The following platforms have been confirmed: PC (Steam/GOG), PS4/PS5, Switch 1/2, and Xbox Series X/S.

To be honest, the Steam page and trailer are filled with flavor text and zero information. ("Relive the classic," "a gem from the 90's has returned," etc. That kind of stuff.)

We know it'll release in 2027, but any features for this version have not been confirmed. (I'm expecting a barebones port or quick emulation job.) Either way, I'm thrilled this is getting a legal re-release. (Only Japan and PAL region releases, back in the day. No US version.)

Anyone excited for this modern re-release?

The game looks exactly the same as it did on the SNES; the only difference is that you can play it on PC or Switch, what a pitiful improvement.

Terranigma is an absolute gem; it definitely deserves more than just being pulled out of a drawer and placed on the dusty table... why not Remake, remade or HD everything else with (Re) would be better than a lazy Digital-port...
They're trying to sell us an old chestnut in new packaging... and it'll probably work, but definitely not on me—I'm sticking with the original.

For some reason, the reveal trailer has been set to private on YouTube (see above). They even removed the trailer from the Steam page. Something must be up.
 
If I remember correctly, the trailer had a CRT filter on every clip. People may have been nervous that it wouldn't have nearest-neighbor scaling. (The Grandia collection launched with only the bilinear filter, if I remember correctly. The devs were keen to fix that omission.)

I think they probably got strong feedback on the CRT filter and/or the lack of announced features.

I said it before, but I'm expecting a barebones port. Not even the token concept art, encyclopedia, etc. additions. I'm cool with that, if it makes an expensive game legally available at a reasonable price.
