Summary
Cyrille Imbert is the CEO of Dotemu, a company that has brought back several retro games, including Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.
Imbert discussed the company’s approach to bringing these titles back and how it finds success with them in an interview with GamesBeat.
Imbert said that though the company started with Streets of Rage, a beloved beat-‘em-up series, it did not initially set out to revive the beat-‘em-up genre.
The company also looks to provide as much fanservice as possible with its releases, such as bringing back many characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series for Shredder’s Revenge.
He adds that though the company has had success with bringing back beloved arcade games, it also takes calculated risks, such as developing new intellectual properties.
