Though the game is eventually due on WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade as well, at the PlayStation.Blog, Backbone designer Kyle Vincent Tunison details the forthcoming remake of Hudson’s original cult-hit TurboGrafx-16 hex-strategy game Military Madness, due at an as-yet unspecified date later this year.

Not to be confused with Nectaris: Military Madness (the original PlayStation remake [which included some 130+ maps]), Military Madness: Nectaris is a note-for-note rebuild of the 16-bit original — with the obvious graphical caveat and rebuilt AI — and will contain an additional ten maps designed specifically for its online/local multiplayer, with new upgradable vehicle and squads.

Above is the original trailer for the game: ignore the platform branding, the game is said to be identical for all three downloadable outlets, bar some multiplayer maps for the WiiWare version. For more background on the series and its 20 year history across a wide variety of platforms, see this dedicated fan site.
