The resident 2D shooter-fan in my workplace should be thrilled by this piece of news. From the looks of it, the genre that once ruled all gaming may be making a comeback. Spong is reporting that Taito has plans to release a bunch of classic 2D shooters, wrapped in a brand-new, high-rez package. The company is hoping that diehard fans will pick up the collections. But the piece also hints that there's a general, mainstream hunger for the simple gameplay that 2D shooters provide. The titles won't be available in PAL format out of the gate. But if they do well enough, expect to see them cross the drink for some Yankee loving.
