Confirmed: Golgoth working on Joe & Mac remake after Toki photo

The prospect of Golgoth Studio updating Joe & Mac for the high-def era when work on the gorgeous-looking Toki remake is finished excited me greatly, and it definitely excited you guys a lot too.

Data East's 16-bit co-op platformer about beating up dinosaurs until they wept worked in the early 90s, and it sure as hell works today. As fate would have it, my guess about Joe & Mac perfectly fitting the developer's tease was right -- it's been announced.

As with Toki, you can tell Golgoth is putting nothing but the utmost amount of care into recreating Joe & Mac with beautiful new art. I for one can't wait to see more.

It might be wishful thinking, but I hope they put this on Wiiware. Or even put the Super Nintendo version on VC.

God I remember when I first played Joe and Mac on Super NES. Had to be one of the first few games that we owned as kids on it.

Still a very fun game...

Sweet Jesus. I remember being 12 or so and my kid sister was CRAZY about me playing this game. I had to beat the game for her at least once a month. She loved dinosaurs and thought this game was funny as hell. To this day, whenever she comes into town from college, we thrown down on two games: Streets of Rage 2 (Wiiware) and Joe & Mac (I have to bust out the SNES.) I sent her the link to this. I expect her to explode. I may have to get a 360 for this or at least get one for her. I really hope they consider bringing this over to Wiiware, though.
