- Noritaka Funamizu of Crafts & Meister (formerly a designer and producer of many of Capcom’s largest titles, including Super Street Fighter II and the Street Fighter Alpha series) is working on a new game called Nama-ge.
The games based on No More Heroes and Harvest Moon are expected to launch this Winter, while the other titles have no set release date.
