The last week has been huge for Spelunker fans. If you missed it, Irem sold the rights to Tozai Games which published the game outside of Japan. Due to the change in rights, Sony is pulling Minna de Spelunker on the 16th and Spelunker Black a few days later. This all came with the promise of Tozai announcing something for this game.
According to Famitsu there is going to be an updated version in Japan. What exactly will be different is currently not known, but ideally it will not be the inclusion of Black. Considering they’re aiming for a Winter release, details should come pretty soon. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
