Spriggan Mark 2 was produced over the course of ten months by Yuichi Toyama , who took upon the role of planner, programmer and scenario writer. The project originally began as a sequel to MUSHA , as Masamitsu Niitani asked the team to make a game featuring Greg Erwin as protagonist, with their goal being an anime-style shooter where characters would speak to the player during gameplay. It garnered generally favorable reception from critics, most of which reviewed it as an import title . The game was re-released for the Wii 's Virtual Console and later included as part of the PC Engine Mini console in its western variants, marking its first official appearance in North American and European regions.
