Back in the memorable year of 1995, a French developer called Arcade Zone toiled away on a Super Nintendo game called Nightmare Busters. Sadly, the arrival of the PlayStation led to the game's cancelation. It is now 100 years later, and that injustice is finally being corrected. Aurora Game Studio and Pix'n Love are teaming up to bring that long-lost game back on modern platforms as Nightmare Busters Rebirth. The Kickstarter is going strong already and will end on June 19.
