Here's a gameplay video of Rygar from Gamevideos.com
Rygar, which is now available for Nintendo Switch Online, did a lot of things right, particularly when it came to creating an immersive world that felt interconnected.
Was a pretty cool game back then. And for those that didn't play it, the PS2 game was a pretty cool update of the franchise. Still got that one.
Could see a 2D update made like Bionic Commando got from Capcom.

This.
I have Bionic Commando Rearmed on both PSN and Steam. Would be nice to see Rygar get the same treatment. Or even like the recent Strider reboot.
I remember renting this and finishing it in one day. Thoroughly engrossing. Would like to see a follow up to this.
The only arcade game that after playing the crap out of it at a laundromat. I was able to finish, from start to the end on one quarter. Love that game.
glad they added it to switch online...haven't played it yet though..need to fire it up
Hamster Corporation, the company behind the Ninja Jajamaru-kun game for 3DS, will bring Japanese arcade games to PlayStation 4 this spring.

I rented this and was glued to it until I beat it. This was the first metroidvania type game but unfortunately was forgotten. I'm glad someone's giving it the attention it deserves.
hey Bangoskank, yes, I loved this and was so happy to play through it again. Thanks for checking it out
Beating that game when I was like 10 remains one of my greatest gaming accomplishments.
ha ha, yeah, I remember beating it very fondly too. It was so tough because you had to do it in one sitting!
Well it wasn't forgotten, in 2002 they made a 3D PS2 Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. I owned this original one though, and it was a very cool metroidvania game. It was weird, how it'd be a top-down game in certain areas, then go to the sidescrolling in others. The music was always very memorable. They need to make another sequel, but in this same metroidvania style. If I remember correctly the PS2 game was just level based. This was a great game overall.
Rygar for the ps2 wasn't very good. I remember getting very excited because I loved the nes game but the ps2 game didn't come close to meeting my lofty expectations. Actually, I was so disappointed that I played it for about 10 minutes and put it down for good. I meant that the nes game was forgotten, not the franchise. It really isn't regarded as the classic it should have been. I like to make believe rygar ps2 never existed.
and god of war ..... and the song reminds me of soul caliber, like if the annouce is bout to speak at the end of the song saying "Welcome To Soul Caliber"
Looks intense. So I guess this is a portish title. It's built off of the PS2 game but they added this that and the other thing. Hope it pans out well.
I'm confused. What differentiates this one from the PS2 version?
Sounds like a gay porn.
Why did they turn the main character into a californian surfer?
Just buy the PS2 version for $5
