2009/01/29 - With Other Ocean’s help, a "lost" twenty year old classic game makes a triumphant return from the grave in Dark Void Zero for Nintendo DSiWare, iPhone, and PC!

As the ‘80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called “Dark Rift”, and it blended the intense shooting action of Section Z™ with the latest innovations in platform jumping from Mega Man. In order to properly fulfill the producer’s vision for Dark Rift (later renamed Dark Void), the hardware engineering more team at Capcom was enlisted to design and produce an all-new chipset that would be included in every cartridge, enabling huge numbers of sprites and never-before-seen special effects to be displayed on the aging NES® platform and the PlayChoice-10 NES arcade cabinet.

Alas, time waits for no man and game developers are no exception. The dawn of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System® made the additional hardware requirements for Dark Void redundant. Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted into the annals of gaming history. Even the internal tape-based archives were lost due to an unfortunate magnet incident which even today is best left un-discussed. Dark Void became a legendary “lost project” at Capcom…until now.

To commemorate the latest version of Dark Void's humble origins, Capcom turned to Other Ocean to "recreate" the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled “Dark Void Zero,” on the DSi platform. The game was painstakingly re-constructed from rescued data, remaining design documents, and exhaustive interviews with the surviving Dark Rift team members.

You play Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.

Available now on the DSi Shop for 500 points, and coming soon to iPhone and PC.

"DV Zero surprised me with its well-laid-out, retro-style platforming -- so much so that my daily commutes flew by as I kept my nose in the screen. I would love to see a follow-up ... Regardless, the game has many more hours in store for me as I strive for higher and higher scores." - 100/100 1up

"This is one of the best handheld games I have ever played. I am really glad that it gets to come with me everywhere my DS goes, and I hope Capcom stays committed to the retro arcade genre they have pretty much created during the modern gaming era. I'd love to see Dark Void Zero Two or another IP that plays as well as this one does. This is a front-runner for my GOTY '10, and I say that with absolute confidence, knowing that there is a God of War, a Halo and possibly a new Zelda title on the way this year." - 90/100 Gamernode

"If you're a fan of classic 8-bit action titles and don't mind a slightly elevated level of difficulty, this is definitely a game you'll want to add to your DSiWare collection. And if you're not a fan, this wildly enjoyable title might just make one out of you." 90/100 Nintendolife

"It doesn't matter whether your first gaming system had knobs, a directional pad, or dual analog thumbsticks: Dark Void Zero's tight action and delightful presentation are sure to entertain." -85/100 GameSpot
