Key Points:

Tengo Project, known for their work on the "Jetpack Shooter" genre with Omega Five on XBLA, has sparked excitement with a new remake, though fans were initially hoping for a Shatterhand remake.
The remake surprised many, highlighting the enduring appeal of shoot 'em ups and the innovative concept of controlling soldiers with rocket belts, reminiscent of Contra-style gameplay.
There is some debate over the game's title, with preferences split between S.C.A.T. and Final Mission, reflecting differing familiarity and nostalgia among fans.
The rights to Shatterhand reportedly transferred from City Connection to Natsume (or Winning Entertainment) around 2009, which may explain the delay in new releases or sequels.
Fans express enthusiasm for Tengo Project's continued involvement and are eager to purchase physical copies of the new title, anticipating potential Steam keys for review.
