SEGA’s classic Streets of Rage series is seeing a revival with Streets of Rage 4, Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games and Dotemu have announced. A release date and platforms have not been confirmed as of yet.

Typically we hold off on news about brand new titles unless we receive confirmation about it being bound for a Nintendo system. However, given the companies involved here, we do believe a Switch release will happen. This game comes from Dotemu and Lizardcube – the publisher and developer of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap respectively. Considering how well that title did on the eShop, it seems certain that Streets of Rage 4 will be on Switch.

A new rating for Blaster Master Zero has popped up on the ESRB. Rather than Inti Creates, Nicalis is listed as the game’s publisher. You know what that means: Blaster Master Zero is very likely getting a physical release.

Assuming the title does go physical, one logical possibility is that all DLC characters will be included. Nicalis will likely pack in some extra goodies as well.

Developers of Starlink: Battle for Atlas have often explained how the Star Fox collaboration came to be. After the game was first shown at last year’s E3, executives and developers from Nintendo ended up seeing it behind closed doors.
