That changes today though with the announcement of their return to the North American market with the help of Gaijinworks, who localized Miami Law.

Sunsoft’s first title to celebrate their return to the North American market will be the NES classic Blaster Master for the Virtual Console. You can expect Blaster Master to be available some time this month.

Sunsoft has said that in the next few weeks they will be announcing titles that will “surprise and delight gaming fans.” Be sure to keep your eyes open for some surprising and delightful news from Sunsoft in the coming weeks.
