A Plaion acaba de revelar que a Zero Wing da Toaplan está chegando ao Neo Geo.

O jogo aparece em algumas fotos tiradas na Tokyo Game Show, e foi flagrado por @Project_COE.O.

Isso agora desencadeou especulações de que essa porta é baseada na conversão não oficial feita pelo homebrew coder h0ffman, e agora temos a confirmação.


História Original []: Podemos estar apenas alguns dias depois de 2026, mas já temos um novo e empolgante projeto para os fãs de Neo Geo aguardarem no futuro.

h0ffman (que você deve conhecer de seus portos Neo Geo de Shinobi e, e Machado Dourado) revelou que ele está atualmente trabalhando em um porto não oficial do jogo de tiro side-scroller 1989 da Toaplan Zero Wing aos sistemas Neo Geo, e que agora está "quase completa".

According to h0ffman, this version of the game features 6 layers of parallax backgrounds, 2 layers of sprites, and all levels complete and working, with some final bugs and Neo Geo CD support being all that now apparently stands in the way of release.

Since originally hitting the arcades back in the late '80s, Zero Wing has appeared on a few different home platforms officially, but was never officially released for SNK's Neo Geo systems.

In 1991, it was ported to the Sega Mega Drive for the Japanese and European markets, with the PAL release including a notoriously clumsy localization for the game's newly implemented introduction that later famously spawned the early internet meme, "All your base are belong to us". Following that, a PC Engine CD-ROM² version of the game was then produced in 1992, though this specific port would end up being exclusive to Japan.

In 2020, the independent publisher Retro-Bit released a cartridge version of Zero Wing Mega Drive / Genesis for the North American market. This has also been followed by a series of emulation-based reissues for platforms such as Steam/GOG, Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Classics service), Evercade, and Antstream Arcade (Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S, PS4/PS5, and more).

As h0ffman states, one of the unique features of this port will be the option to select between the Mega Drive and PC Engine CD-ROM², something he has demonstrated in a recent video on his YouTube channel.

We'll keep you posted on when the port is available to play.
