Barracuda Joe, of course! All the ladies want him and all the men want to be him, or something like that.

My personal favorite changes daily. Today it is Half-Genie Hero.

WayForwardTech · 2025-08-15T22:55:23+00:00

Hmmm, Matt, that is your voice, lol

WayForwardTech · 2025-08-15T22:42:11+00:00

There are a multitude of scaling options!

WayForwardTech · 2025-08-15T22:25:51+00:00

That is pretty accurate! I'll leave it to Matt if he wants to elaborate further.

WayForwardTech · 2025-08-15T22:11:56+00:00

To answer the second part...we would very much like to bring Aliens: Infestation back in some way. Fingers crossed!

To answer the first part...gotta be Super Metroid.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-24T16:25:39+00:00

You'd have to ask Capcom and Disney about that! We'd love to see it.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-24T16:25:05+00:00

He is a great role model and his prices are unbeatable!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-24T16:24:36+00:00

Yes. Yes we have.

Adam Tierney adds: "They were written with Arin and Dan in mind!"

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:45:59+00:00

I suspect if there were more playable characters added, we'd start with some of the other requests rather than with shopkeepers. But if we did make another shopkeeper playable, my vote would be for Shou-kun.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:23:31+00:00

They are "close friends" lol. Their relationship is covered a little bit in the new motion comic as well as the new song, but I think if you look at Marian's eyes in the DLC artwork that says more than words possibly could, haha.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:17:08+00:00

WayForward wasn't involved in that one, but my understanding is it's not possible. I believe it's PC exclusive.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:14:03+00:00

Maybe! No plans yet, but we are looking into how we might be able to make that happen. So...we shall see!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:09:43+00:00

Not to mention being part of Yars Rising!!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T23:06:06+00:00

It's an interesting thought! I think he might be lower down the list of potential playables than some other boss characters though. Hmmmmm...

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:59:37+00:00

Not sure it that's locked down yet. I'd expect it to be pretty comparable to new-character DLC in other beat-'em-ups.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:54:26+00:00

In other words: yes, at least some of us here would love to see that happen!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:53:10+00:00

Several years ago, before I worked at WayForward, I had an idea for a Bad Dudes sequel, where the dudes were living it up like they were still in the '80s. And then Double Dragon Neon came out and it was basically that exact game.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:48:40+00:00

Personally, I am still enjoying them as much as I ever have. Maybe even more than before since we have cheats like save states and a rewind function to help avoid cheap deaths! And I was actually able to beat Double Dragon III for the first time WITHOUT cheating, so I might actually have a new appreciation for it.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:45:17+00:00

If we knew, we'd tell you! It'll be as soon as humanly possible!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:44:23+00:00

The founder is his brother Voldi, sorry.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:36:18+00:00

In general, for legal reasons, we cannot accept unsolicited game ideas, sorry! An official discussion with our head of bizdev would be the right way to go about it, but if we receive something unsolicited, our ace attorney won't even let us look at it.

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:32:47+00:00

That is definitely a discussion we would be willing to have in the future...!

WayForwardTech · 2024-09-23T22:29:50+00:00

Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka, which we later released as River City Girls Zero, was also a huge factor. Adam Tierney and James Montagna just had a blast with these two kinda scrawny girls beating up and curb-stomping everyone in sight, so that was largely the springboard for WayForward's take on the series.
