I'm trying to deduce who's making the game from the pics so far. I really want to say that it's gonna be a mix of 2D and 3D visuals. Sorta like how Contra Hard Corps. I have to say, Arc System Works would be natural for a Strider game.

I would actually be down for this. The NES version, while completely different than the original Strider, was pretty interesting and fun. Strider is a great arcade game for its time and it looked amazing on Genesis, but it was kind of shallow and short. It's kind of like playing any of the old classic beat-em-ups on XBLA. It's just not as fun when you have infinite continues or you are not playing in the arcade.

I only ever played the NES version which i picked out at random based on the box art, so the "real" arcade version always seemed weird to me.
