1UP’s James Mielke wrote on his blog how he reunited with Kenji Eno at this year’s Ziff Davis E3 shindig.

Why is this such good news? Because Eno-san made some of the most innovative titles in the mid- to late-’90s for the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast consoles. Kenji Eno ran a development company called WARP, responsible for titles like Enemy Zero and Real Sound. The former was a cool, Aliens-style horror title where the enemy couldn’t be seen, only heard. The gameplay mechanics were a little wonky but were definitely innovative, and the stress of having an invisible enemy has never been done better before or since. Real Sound was another Saturn title, which was notable for the fact it lacked any graphics at all – the player relied completely on sound to play the game, against a black screen.

WARP’s last title was the poorly-received D2 for the Dreamcast, after which Eno-san turned away from game design and toward a completely different direction. According to Mielke’s blog, he’s working on a title for the Wii, which I can’t wait.

So welcome back Eno-san! You have been missed!
