Earthion is a modern shoot 'em up game developed for the Mega Drive by Yuzo Koshiro and Makoto Wada, celebrating the console's legacy with new software that has garnered significant interest. The game was developed using modern tools like SGDK and features advanced audio design, with plans for release on modern platforms and an arcade version. The project highlights the enduring appeal of the Mega Drive and the passion of its creators for retro gaming.
Yuzo Koshiro, a renowned game composer, has urged fans to support his indie game Earthion through official channels after a pirated ROM was circulated online, emphasizing that the legitimate version is only available on Steam and upcoming on consoles, to help small indie teams like his.
After 17 years, the popular retro gaming YouTube channel Happy Console Gamer finally received its own theme tune, composed by legendary video game composer Yuzo Koshiro, which moved the host Johnny Millenium deeply.
