With all the talk about Sonic 4, it's easy to forget that Konami is gearing its own downloadable retro reboot with Rocket Knight. Of course, that's also partially thanks to the fact that Konami's barely mentioned the bloody thing since its announcement.
Fortunately, we've been given a healthy reminder today thanks to some new art assets that have dropped. It's not much to go on, but it's certainly something at the very least. Make sure you check out the pictures. Or don't, if you don't want to. We're not really telling you what to do.

Anyway, I'll be keeping this on my radar. Now Sparkster's a rodent with attitude. Not like that other blue bastard...
It's either that or the sweaty, grunting, 'roid-abusing beefcake-obsessed era of today. Pick your poison.
Because some people can tell the difference between innocent cartoonish animal characters in videogames and creepy sexualized furry wet dreams that continually invade Sonic and Star Fox.
I looooooooooooooooove rocket kniiiiiiiiiiiiight.
One of my favorite Genesis titles, easy.
I wouldn't pick Gears of War over a pile of rancid dog shit.
Original fun characters are better than cookie cutters any day.
Last I checked, in that era, sonic didn't pilot large mechs and shoot around with a rocket pack killing lizards with a sword.
Did you not have a childhood or something?
It doesn't matter if they cashed in. As long as the game was good.
And Rocket Knight Adventures was a DAMN good game, easily one of the best for the Genesis.
I want to play it, hard.
...
wait, lizards were sparkster for genesis.
RKA had PIGS. Pigs.
Yeah. Good game.
Yeah but Yahtzee hates everything. Haven't you seen the one time he was nice to a game? Not his most popular video.
