Limassol, Cyprus – 16 April, 2024 – Videogame developer Nekki and franchise-building media company Story Kitchen today announced a partnership to adapt upcoming gun fu action videogame SPINE into a live-action film.

Nekki is a leading developer and publisher in the gaming industry, known for creating Shadow Fight series and the proprietary animation software Cascadeur, which powers the cinematic action of SPINE. 

Story Kitchen is a dynamic media company passionate about universe building and franchise architecture, specializing in the adaptation of videogames and other ‘non-traditional’ IP into film and television, founded by Sonic the Hedgehog Producer and dj2 Entertainment Founder, Dmitri M. Johnson, and former APA Agent/Partner, Mike Goldberg, with veteran Production and Development Executives, Timothy I. Stevenson and Dan Jevon.

“We’re so pleased to bring SPINE to Story Kitchen” said Dmitry Terekhin, Founder/CEO of Nekki. “We believe that truly great stories always stand out, and the SPINE universe will captivate audiences across any media.”

“When we first learned of the upcoming game from Nekki, we lost our collective minds and had to find a way to partner,” said the team at Story Kitchen. “SPINE, with its main character ‘Redline’, could not be more badass!”

SPINE will launch for PC and consoles in the future. Nekki plans to develop SPINE as a cross-media franchise, including downloadable content after release, comic books, a board game, and merchandise.

Set in a cyberpunk world, SPINE follows the story of Redline, a rebellious street artist who is accompanied by a sentient combat implant, SPINE. SPINE introduces a unique fusion of cinematic gunplay and close-combat beat ’em up, emphasized by elaborate camerawork and providing players with dynamic and immersive gun fu gameplay. Collaborating with action movie specialists and paying homage to iconic action movies, Nekki promises a truly cinematic adventure where every moment feels like a scene from an epic blockbuster. SPINE is set to release on PC and consoles in the future.

LOS ANGELES – APRIL 17, 2023 – The future-thinking minds at Nunchaku Games studio have announced that hand-drawn martial arts adventure Moon Samurai has launched its Kickstarter campaign. Currently planned for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the sci-fi love letter to 80s and 90s action movies promises to blend dystopian cyberpunk lunar colony landscapes with muay thai, kung fu, and boxing bouts when it launches in late 2025.

Watch Moon Samurai‘s Kickstarter launch trailer below:

Moon Samurai is set in the year 2080. RAM City, a lunar city-state, is in decline. Military factions and a totalitarian government are fueling a war of independence with Earth. On the eve of all-out destruction, protagonist Buddy escapes imprisonment with the help of an artificial intelligence named DANAO_X. The duo join forces to rescue their city and the moon at large from complete annihilation. War begins in 24 hours. It’s time to let fists fly.

Armed with cyber-implants, martial arts skills, skull-crushing nunchaku, and, of course, an energy katana, become the destined Moon Samurai and parkour across vibrant pixel-art lunar cityscapes, artificial jungles, secret military laboratories, nightclubs, an out-of-control spaceship, and other meticulously crafted locations. 

Crack a blue-haired street punk’s head with a pool cue or smash a chair into a bouncer with environmental object interactions. Take down challenging but fair bosses like the electrifying Shinwa or jetpacking Akoto. Pass tests of strength, wit, courage, honor, and compassion to unlock one of several distinct endings driven by player choice. Fueled by a head-bobbing synthwave soundtrack, Moon Samurai takes inspiration from legendary action-adventure games like Streets of Rage, Prince Of Persia, and Flashback.

Moon Samurai’s Kickstarter campaign is running now. Support the game today to play it when it launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in late 2025. For more information, please visit the game’s Steam page.

The preposterous high-society slap-battle anthology is available now!

Valencia, Calif. – April 16th, 2024 – It’s time to unleash slapageddon! Independent game studio WayForward, in conjunction with Japanese developer NIGORO and publishing partner Limited Run Games, is elated to announce that Rose & Camellia Collection, the ludicrous one-on-one slap-fight anthology, is now available digitally in North America and Europe, exclusively on Nintendo Switch. Offering five distinct games, a 2-player versus mode, and the choice of Joy-Con motion controls or touchscreen swipes, Rose & Camellia Collection is rated T and priced at $19.99. A slaptastic new launch trailer can be seen below:

Featuring five games of aristocratic absurdity — Rose & Camellia 1, 2, 3, & 4, plus Rose & Camellia vs. La-Mulana — the collection lets players go hand-to-cheek in a series of one-on-one slap fights against a ludicrous cast that includes haughty heiresses, muscular maids, racquet-wielding royalty — even robots and demonic spirits! What starts as an over-the-top inheritance dispute evolves into increasingly outlandish scenarios — including touring the world on the “Death Queen Circuit” and battling relentlessly conniving solicitors — in which players will slap, dodge, feint, and counter their way to victory.

The slapalicious saga further comes to life through a fabulous anime-style intro and fully voiced cutscenes between each bout, which can be enjoyed in either English (featuring the talents of Cristina “Vee” Valenzuela, Tiana Camacho, Stephanie Sheh, Anjali Kunapaneni, and Anna Brisbin) or Japanese. Beyond the single-player story mode, two players can also exchange hands in a competitive local versus mode, with one player controlling one of the heroines and the other playing as one of their rivals.

In addition to the digital eShop version of the game, a glorious physical version of Rose & Camellia Collection is available via LimitedRunGames.com. The standard edition, priced at $34.99, includes the game and manual, while the opulent deluxe edition, priced at $69.99, includes the game, manual, soundtrack CD, 12″ x 16″ double-sided poster, acrylic standee, and art cards, all enclosed in elegant collector’s packaging. Both the standard and collector’s editions are on offer as open preorders until May 12, 2024.

Showcased in both a Nintendo Direct and an Indie World presentation in Japan, Rose & Camellia Collection has garnered massive attention overseas; its videos have generated more than 2.5 million views since debuting last year. With the North American and European release, the game’s unique combination of humor and reflex-based action is finally available to players worldwide. For more information about Rose & Camellia Collection and other WayForward titles, please visit www.wayforward.com and follow @wayforward on social media.

Key Features

• Reflex-based one-on-one action: slap, dodge, feint, and counter!
