Also known as Cybernator
Get ready for some heavy mech action, as Rainmaker Productions and M2have announcedthey’ll be dropping their uncensored port ofAssault Suit Valkenon Switch this Spring. If you’re not sure what I’m so excited about,Assault Suit Valkenwas released in North America under the nameCybernator. If you still don’t know what I’m excited about thenI’m deeply hurt.
Cybernatorwas published by Konami back in 1993, and it was awesome. However, the SNES version published in North America and Europe was censored and its translation was extremely barebones. While I could probably live without the censored content’s depictions of suicide, I definitely welcome the re-translated dialogue. Along with the translation comes standard features including like save states, retro screen filters, and unlockable cheats. You can also choose from arranged and original music, view production artwork, and check out an 80-page translated guide. Finally, they’ve included an interview with Satoshi Nakai.
But what you should be saying is, “Shhh… You had me atAssault Suit ValkenisCybernator.”
Interestingly, what is shown in the trailer is a port of the SNES original rather than the 2005 PS2 remaster. Personally, I prefer thegame’soriginal pixel-art look. It’s surprising but welcome to see that M2 feels the same way.
