<p>Taito and Natsume Atari have just announced that a new entry in the <strong>KiKi KaiKai</strong> series (known as <strong>Pocky &amp; Rocky</strong> in the west) is coming to Switch.</p>
<p>According to Weekly Famitsu, <strong>KiKi KaiKai: Kuro Mantle no Nazo</strong> (that’s a tentative title) is being developed by Tengo Project, a team within Natsume Atari which is formed of staff who worked on the 1992 SNES title <strong>KiKi KaiKai: Nazo no Kuro Mantle</strong>, including Toshiyasu Miyabe.</p>
<p>Miyabe had this to say about the announcement:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We started work on a sequel with the thought that if we didn’t respond to requests for a remake now, we wouldn’t have the chance in the future considering the staff’s age. While you may think it’s a remake, it’s a completely new title. It’s loaded with new elements.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The KiKi KaiKai series began life in arcades in 1986. The aforementioned SNES title gave the franchise global fame and would inspire a 16-bit sequel called <strong>KiKi KaiKai: Tsukiyo Soushi</strong> (<strong>Pocky &amp; Rocky 2</strong> in the west) as well as a Game Boy Advance entry called <strong>KiKi KaiKai Advance</strong> (<strong>Pocky &amp; Rocky with Becky</strong>).</p>
<p>Tengo Project also worked on <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/ninja_saviors_return_of_the_warriors">The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/wild_guns_reloaded">Wild Guns Reloaded</a></strong>, both of which updated existing series for a new generation, to great success.</p>
