Given how popular retro-style games are nowadays, it's downright disgusting that it's taken so long for developers to make a trailer as amazing as the new Super T.I.M.E. Force one. It's just like the cartoons from your childhood, if the cartoons from your childhood weren't crammed full of tedious nonsense you've forgotten as you race towards your grave.

Coming from Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP developer Capybara Games, Super T.I.M.E. Force is like the action-platformers cartoons from your childhood, if the action-platformers from your childhood weren't crammed full of tedious nonsense you've forgotten as you race towards your grave. Our Andrew played it at PAX East earlier in the year and was deeply thrilled.

It's a Contra-hard shooty platformer, except when you die, your ghost lingers on to repeat the same actions once you respawn. With several characters, you'll be sending out, say, the shield-carrying chap to block shots for another life, until there are dozen of ghosts all working together.

Super T.I.M.E. Force is coming to Xbox Live Arcade in 2013. Enough gabber, on with the trailer:
