Hey all! Looking forward to answering your questions about WayForward, Rose & Camellia, River City Girls, and anything else! Ask away!
What was it like designing the motion-controls for these games? Anything surprising or any tips on how to best slap?
Can I use this game to improve my real life slapping techniques?
The River City Girls games are among my favorites. I replay them a few times a year. Is there any chance of a third game happening at some point? Thank you for these amazing beat ’em ups!
For Contra Operation Galuga, what was the rationale for giving Browny his new taller design vs. his original shorter design from Hard Corps?
With Wayforward doing remakes and new games for series’ in other companies titles such as with river city girls, Contra 4 and Contra operation Galuga, Advance Wars, so on. Are there any specific game series you’d be able to say you’d Like to take a crack at making a game for (but aren’t currently doing so)
I personally would love a Wayforward take on castlevania
Can you please remake ducktales 2 or port remastered to modern consoles
When do you think Clock Tower: Rewind can be expected 😭 plzzz we want it so badly :3
How did the collab for Yars Rising come about?
For Contra: Operation Galuga, what was the inspiration behind brand new characters like Beowulf, Varanis, Ariana and Henriksen?
One thing that I’ve noticed recently is that a majority of Wayforward’s releases are working with other companies. Does Wayforward actively seek partners to do these projects in between original releases like Shantae, or do people go to Wayforward when they want to develop a new side game?
Is this game based on an Anime or something? Where did the idea for the game come from?
Been seeing some vinyls from more previous contra titles. Is there a chance we can get a Contra 4 vinyl? Love the soundtrack!
Is there a chance we’ll see a Shantae collection in the future?
Do y’all think there’s any possibility to bring the Switch version of Contra OG up to 60fps? Even if it’s inconsistent, it’d be worth it
when that silly wacky Shantae GBA game comes out on Steam, is it gonna include or be a GBA rom?? asking so I can purchase it and use it on my GBA flash cart!.
I love slapping. But I also love River City Girls. Espeically when they slap! Is there any updates on DLC For River City Girls at all? Or is there nothing to report.
Why was the SNES version of Clock Tower chosen over the Playstation and Windows ports for Rewind?
I noticed that when Bradley transformed, one of his arms became the iconic Gatling gun arm. Did he always have a Gatling gun arm?
Can you give us an update on Bloodstained Classic Mode 2?
Is it a possibility that other games in the Mighty series, like Mighty Flip Champs or Mighty Milky Way could see console releases in the future?
My arm hurts from playing Rose and Camellia. It must be good exercise. But is it better exercise than Wii Sports?
What was WayForward’s favorite part about Operation Galuga to work on the most?
when we getting Xtreme Sports 2?
How many hours the Main Story of Rose and Camellia is?
Not so much a question, but an appreciation post. I’m in the early stages of converting an old NBA JAM arcade cabinet into a River City Girls 2 machine. Here is the artwork I have designed for the cabinet.

Allow me to congratulate you on the success of Contra: Operation Galuga! I have seen its popularity skyrocketing across the internet! In fact, it’s fans are clambering to take the game to new heights! I’d like to ask the Wayforward devs, on their behalf:
Would you be willing and able to provide us with the contraoperationgaluga-fmod-project, along with the .fspro file, and any file necessary to create modded content? I know that I, along with others, would love to add new soundtracks to the game, and would greatly appreciate any assets you could provide to assist the OG community with this!
Please contact me personally if more information is required, thank you!
Do you guys plan on doing anything with the RCG “franchise” anytime soon? will there be a 3rd RCG game or just dlc for the 2nd one?
Any chance of eventually adding Fata Morgana version eventually?
