Following the announcement of a Lollipop Chainsaw remake last week, many fans shared their excitement, but others expressed concerns.
Concerns shared regarding the remake primarily concerned the change of soundtrack, possibilities of censorship, changes to the story, improved graphics, and the lack of involvement from those who worked on the original title.
In a brand new message, Dragami Games president, Yoshimi Yasuda has addressed the concerns of fans. Yasuda shares: “The primary goal of the Lollipop Chainsaw remake project is to make it so that players who wish to play Lollipop Chainsaw can do so easily, not to make a new Lollipop Chainsaw game. Of course, the ideal thing to do would be to make a remastered version of the original game, changing nothing. However, we were unfortunately unable to include 16 of the licensed songs, which were a great part of the original game’s feel, and so we are instead aiming for a remake that is as close as possible to a remaster.”
