The film, written and will be directed by McCarthy's husband Ben Falcone, might be out this fall and will revolve around two characters getting superpowers.
Thunder Force striking again?
What an excellent week it's been for classic game fans! The DS gets a new (release of) Chrono Trigger, the Wii gets a new 8-bit Mega Man, and now this! NeoGAF's neo2046 noticed an update to Thunder Force developer Tecnosoft's website stating that a new entry in the longstanding shmup series is on the way. The WHOIS data for tecnosoft.com indicates that the domain has been in the possession of a Japanese company since 1996, and archive.org shows previous TecnoSoft webpages in that space, so this seems legit.There's very little information on the barebones site -- in fact, you're looking at all of it -- so we don't know which platform or platforms TecnoSoft is planning to release the game on. But it's a shooter, and the Wii is where shooters go this generation. TecnoSoft would be able to release classic Genesis Thunder Force games on the Virtual Console to promote it. We'd love to see Thunder Force II and its indecipherable intro available once again.[Via NeoGAF]
