The title doesn't fit. The art is silly and makes Athena look like the comedic relief in a porno movie.
It's a game I've been waiting to see the light of day for some time (a remake or sequal to "Athena", not this title specifically). I remember making a thread asking what sequals or games people would like to see remade... Athena was one of just a few on my list... if there's ever another Actraiser - who wants to take bets it'll be on a cell phone as well.
Anyway, I know there's another Athena game on the Horizon. I hope it's for a console or arcade (fat chance).

Well, at least Falcoon isn't doing the art. I can't stand his renditions of Athena. They give me nightmares.

In all my years as a Neo fanatic I've actually never played a SNK-made platformer. This game looks interesting, but too bad I can only play it on a cell phone.
edit: oh man thay have a Turf Masters-looking golf game with girls from SNK in it instead of the normal golfers. If I had a Japanese cell phone I'd be all over SNK's games.

I really wish we could get a chance to play these games.
XBOX Live Arcade, anyone?

Looks like the manual is crediting Yoshinoya as the illustrator.Kim Kaphwan said:

No prob. A little blurb of info on Frank here (plus a link to his current company, Lightsource Studios), and the official website for Alien Legion, a comic he co-created, published under Marvel Comics' Epic banner (Frank did the art on the first 10 issues or so, plus the graphic novel -- Larry Stroman would eventually become the title's regular artist).freak said:
