Astro Boy: Omega Factor

This could be another pipe dream, given rights are likely to be an issue, despite Sega being the original publisher of Astro Boy: Omega Factor in Japan and the U.S. The anime character the game was based on is now seemingly owned by Sony, which is problematic if you’re Nintendo, and the game itself was developed by two different developers, Treasure and Hitmaker, the former now barely existing and the latter absorbed into Sega 20 years ago.

But in our fantasy world where we get what we want, after world peace and shorter queues in Starbucks, we’re adding this to Nintendo Switch Online so it can be legitimately enjoyed all over again, 20 years since its first release.

This was a beat ‘em up made by people who worked on Gunstar Heroes, for goodness sakes. It’s still heralded as one of the best examples of the side-scrolling action genre, despite not having been available on any device since the GBA.
