OMEGA 6: The Triangle Stars releases for Switch today

Clear River Games, a video game publisher specializing in classic and retro games, in conjunction with Japanese publisher City Connection, and developers Happymeal and Pleocene, announced that OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars, a new 16-Bit retro-futuristic adventure game from celebrated visionary Takaya Imamura, is coming to Switch today.

Based on the popular manga OMEGA 6, due for release by Dark Horse Comics, the space-based adventure features an entirely new cast of otherworldly characters, lovingly rendered in retro 16-Bit styling, reminiscent of the treasured catalogue of characters created by Imamura-san in gaming’s golden heyday.

OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars follows the adventures of Thunder and Kyra, two humanoids entrusted by their creator, Dr Victor Franklin, with discovering a new planet for the human race to inhabit after earth has become overrun with an influx of migratory extra-terrestrials. Journeying the cosmos onboard their craft, Omega 6, before our heroes can find mankind’s new home, they must first traverse ancient ruins in pursuit of the ultimate treasure in order to pay off… a planetary loan?!

With a body of work including legendary Nintendo franchises such as F-Zero™, Zelda™ and Star Fox™, acclaimed art director Takaya Imamura takes the lead in story and art direction for OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars, while composer Shinobu Amayake, also ex-Nintendo, is on board creating a stunning original soundtrack for the new game.
