Following the recent releases of Never7, Ever17, and My Merry May with Be on modern platforms, MAGES. CEO Makoto Asada has hinted that more rereleases from the Kindle Imagine Develop era might be on the way.
Per an interview with Game*Spark:
Asada: As company president, I realized if we didn't show KID's titles the light of day again, it was possible they'd never resurface. It was now or never, so I decided we should go ahead [and try rereleasing them] even if they sold very poorly. That was how we got the process started.
Now that My Merry May with Be has been released, we have another two or three titles left in the pipeline. How we'll likely approach it is that these titles will be released fairly quickly after they're announced. You might be surprised by a unique choice or two in the mix.
For the uninitiated, Kindle Imagine Develop (KID) can be considered a predecessor company of sorts to MAGES. Though KID went defunct in 2006, much of its staff and intellectual property have since been inherited by MAGES. Of the extant KID games due a rerelease, an unusual but welcome choice would be Pepsiman, a humorous soda-themed runner game modeled by Kotarou Uchikoshi of Zero Escape and Hundred Line fame. Another valuable choice would be Remember11, the cult classic follow-up to the already released Never7 and Ever17.

Remember11 is probably the game most people ask for.
