Terranigma: Clever River Games Teases Long-Awaited Modern Re-Release

One of the Super Nintendo's most celebrated action-RPGs might finally cross the Atlantic, three decades after legacy licensing issues left North American players out in the cold.

The short version

Clever River Games has teased a modern re-release of Terranigma, the beloved 1995 SNES real-time RPG. If confirmed, this would mark the first official United States release for a 16-bit classic long held back by licensing issues.

Watch

Clever River Games has teased a modern re-release of the 1995 Super Nintendo real-time RPG Terranigma, potentially bringing the 16-bit classic to contemporary systems. For North American players who have spent nearly thirty years watching from the sidelines, the tease is a sudden turn of events for a game that previously existed as an import-only curiosity.

The classic has never officially been released in the United States due to legacy licensing issues. Now, rumors suggest the teased re-release is heading to modern platforms, specifically targeting a PlayStation 5 release.

The details

  • Original platform: Super Nintendo (1995)
  • Teased publisher: Clever River Games
  • Rumored platforms: PlayStation 5 and other modern systems
  • Region status: First official United States release

For decades, the title remained locked away from the West, a victim of the era's complicated licensing knots rather than a lack of interest. While Clever River Games has kept specific release dates and details close to the chest, the prospect of an official release means one of retro gaming's longest-running absences might finally be coming to an end. After thirty years of waiting, another few months of anticipation is practically a tradition anyway.

Will you play Terranigma if it finally comes to the West?
