Streets of Rage 2 - 2105 Developer Interview
Added 2015-09-01 17:52:03 +0000 UTChttp://shmuplations.com/streetsofrage2/
This interview is an in-depth look at the making of Streets of Rage 2 (Bare Knuckle II in Japan) with its designer and planner, Ayano Koshiro. Although a veteran of game design whose work has graced classics like Actraiser, Lunar, and Ys, in the West she is still largely unknown except as the sister of famous composer Yuzo Koshiro. In any event, this candid interview serves as an excellent introduction to her own significant contribution to gaming.
This interview appeared on Ancient’s blog as a celebration of the recent 3DS port of Streets of Rage 2. They also shared the planning docs for the game, including much of Ayano Koshiro’s original concept art. I’ve translated a selection of these for your enjoyment here!
