Natsume has been responding to questions on twitter. Here's what we know,

-PS4 exclusive

-It will once again star Clint and Annie

-No release date or screenshots beyond new logo but will be shown at E3 in June

-Confirmed that "several of the original team members [are] developing the new game"

-Will feature "original sound creator". There were two people credited solely for "Sound" in the original game's credits, so this is a little vague

-When asked if Reloaded was as reboot, remake, or sequel, they responded "A little of each"

This is quite a surprise as Natsume's community manager said this just last month when asked about the possibility of remakes and reboots

"No. We would prefer to focus on creating new and unique titles. That doesn’t mean we are against bringing back classic brands and making something new with it, but you just probably won’t see us making the same game with pretty much the same content for a modern system or device."

... and while we're on the subject, also this when asked about future Virtual Console releases,

 "At this point, it’s unlikely we’ll see any other Natsume SNES games coming to the Virtual Console, as Nintendo’s interest has moved onto other classic systems. Yes, unfortunately this does mean no Lufia II."

They also squashed questions about a new Shatterhand game, claiming they "weren't involved in Shatterhand", Natsume-Atari developed it and they are a different company.  They followed up that there are technically THREE Natsume companies but did not clarify further. This is all news to us! So the possibility of cameo appearances from Pocky & Rocky, Kunoichi, Ninja, or Kamaitachi from Ninja Warriors, Spanky, or Steve Herman from Shatterhand seem unlikely.
