Smash TV Sequel May Be On The Way Quote: 
Retro updates are all the rage these days, so what's next on the docket. According to the veteran developer Mark Turmell, it may be Smash TV.
In an interview on Retrogaming with Racketboy, the Smash TV programmer discussed the game at length, and also made mention of a potential sequel. Unfortunately, while it appears that the 3D revival actually made it into the programming stages, progress was halted when the situation at Midway deteriorated.
Smash TV was an arcade game originally developed in 1990 that depicted a violent game show. It was eventually ported to a number of systems, including the Sega Genesis and Super NES, and is fondly remembered for its difficulty and catchphrases like, "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
With Warner Bros. interested in developing older IPs, Turmell expects that the sequel will be made eventually, especially considering the popularity of twin-stick shooters on XBLA and PSN. With luck, we'll have the chance to win big money and big prizes soon enough. | |
