Karlstad, Sweden – December 11, 2024 – Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, in conjunction with Japanese publisher City Connection, and developers Happymeal and Pleocene, announced today that the long-awaited retro styled adventure game OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars, has been cleared for landing, docking on Nintendo® Switch™ and Steam beginning February 28, 2025.
An all-new futuristic adventure with authentic 16-Bit styling, OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is based on the OMEGA 6 Sci-Fi manga created by the legendary Takaya Imamura, former art director at Nintendo, where he served for over 30 years during the golden age of gaming, designing some of the most iconic and best-loved characters in gaming.
Designing characters for such notable franchises as F-Zero™, The Legend of Zelda™ and Star Fox™, Takaya Imamura takes the lead in story and art direction for OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars, while composer Shinobu Amayake, who also created many a Nintendo soundtrack, returns to create a brand new sweeping score for the game.
