“We appreciate the vote of confidence and as Inafune-san has indicated recently in his 1Up interview, we are thinking about it but there is no project of this sort in development at this time.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
“I can’t comment on any potential roadblocks, but I think Strider has enough juice to merit a next-gen sequel. Here’s a question for you guys though: Could a Strider in 3D recapture that same magic? Would it have to invent new magic? I’d love to see the giant mechanical Ape, or the politburo that turns into a giant robotic centipede w/sickle in 3d, but a lot of the best mechanics of the fights were very 2d-centric. I can already think of cool ways you could recreate that in 3d, but what do you think as Strider fans?” – Seth Killian, Capcom Sr. Manager, Community
I think Strider could work in 3D regardless of the platform that the title ended up being released on. Then again, it could look great as a 2D game as well!

CyberConnect2, a development team known for working predominately on .hack and Naruto games, will reveal a new game in the coming days. A countdown on the company’s official website indicates that the game will be announced in six days. Although there’s no confirmation of the platform the game will be released on, some speculate that the game will end up being the DS title which was hyped up a long time ago but never unveiled. CyberConnect2 has mainly worked on Sony platforms in the past, but any system for eventual release is still up in the air.
– Game is finished with development, being manufactured right now
– Has “The fear of being overwhelmed by enemies, the sensation of fast movement and having a split-second to catch small targets for pickups.”
