With so many developers looking to find their edge among so much competition, remaking a classic license and/or franchise is an easy to way to grab attention - and headlines - from an industry that often forgets its heritage. From classics like A Boy and his Blob to Street Fighter, the quality of such a project relies on the dedication and prowess of those tasked with such an endevor.
Next on the remake circuit is the famed arcade side-scroller Joe & Mac (Caveman Ninja), which took parent-company Data East's Bad Dude concept to prehistoric (and often prehysterical) new levels of anachronistic fun. Like most arcade titles, the game was eventually ported to just about any home/portable platform that could handle it, though much like its lovable heroes, seems to have been lost in history. Brand-new development studio Golgoth Studio will be handling the remake, just as soon as they finish up fellow classic remake, Toki.
No word yet on platform or release date, but to get a better look at the first (announced) artwork from the game, right-click and view the above imagine for yourselves.
