This is almost fascinating. Remember Shaq-Fu, the 16-bit beat-'em-up released on the Mega Drive (or Genesis) and the Super Nintendo and generally considered to be the worst game of those systems and one of the worst games of all time?
Apparently, Big Deez Productions is making another one and they're looking to fund it over at IndieGoGo.
I've never heard of the studio before, but they fully acknowledge the original game (obviously not handled by them) was an atrocity that has received a cult-classic status. They claim they're gamers themselves not looking for a quick buck and they aim to make this new title in the (oh Christ, I can't believe I'm saying this) "series".
You know what? Best of luck to them. O' Neal (Shaquille, not April) teamed up with them (himself looking for another break, I suppose) and honestly this is something I couldn't have seen coming in a million years. Even if it were an effort for a quick-buck, it's fascinating to me that a relatively unknown studio would risk attracting people to a new project by exploiting the hilarious outrage over an old game.
Superman and E.T. are licensed, so no hope of another Superman 64 or Atari E.T., but can someone now go ahead and try to remake Zero Wing? I'd buy that shit in a split-second.
If you want to help fund the project, this is their IndieGoGo page. They have also released a teaser trailer, voiced by Shaq himself:
