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.”
