Link: ‘Huge ‘Lunar Silver Star Story Touch’ Update Still Coming, Includes Graphical Overhaul and Controller Support’
Lunar: Silver Star Story, a classic JRPG from over 20 years ago, is about ready to receive a major update including redrawn widescreen retina graphics and MFi controller support. TouchArcade has the story.
This update was announced a long time ago, back in November of last year. Since then, it had gone unmentioned by the developers. While some feared it had been cancelled, it turns out that the depth of the graphical overhaul simply required a bit more time. The Lunar update is finally scheduled to be released within the next few weeks.
Jared at TouchArcade says:
As you can see, the in-game sprites are really cleaned up and much sharper looking than they were originally. Also, since the original game was a 4:3 aspect ratio SoMoGa states that they have created “all-new artwork adjustments to provide a complete widescreen gameplay experience” for the new version of Lunar Touch. Additionally, the update will provide support for MFi controllers for those who want to play with physical controls. All in all it sounds like a really impressive update for a nearly 2 year old port of a 20+ year old game.
If everything goes as planned, we could be seeing this update within the next few weeks. Personally, I’ve been excited for this one since the announcement way back in November, so consider me excited.
