Omega 6 is based on a manga created by formerNintendoart directorTakaya Imamura, who created characters for games such as F-Zero and Star Fox.
Imamura is the story and art director for the game, while former Nintendo composer Shinobu Amayake (Stunt Race FX, Wario’s Woods) has created the music.
A synopsis reads: “Aspace-based epic awaits, when players embark on a sprawling tale filled with a cast of otherworldly characters, as they follow the story of Thunder and Kyra, our humanoid heroes, entrusted by their creator Dr. Victor Franklin to discover a new planet for the human race to call home while Earth faces a challenge for its very existence.”
An English-language version of Imamura’s comic will also be released in the west, published by Dark Horse Comics.
Speaking exclusively to VGClast year, Imamura explained the similarities between Omega 6 and Star Fox.
“Story-wise, it’s different, but the style I draw, which is like a ‘retro future’, is similar,” he said. “That’s the only thing I can draw – that’s my style – so I didn’t change it! I’ve always wanted to draw manga with this style, so I just applied it from my past games.”
