Lethal Wedding is a new Sega Genesis shooter from retro publisher Mega Cat Studios. The game has been in development for a few years, but it is now saying I do with a Kickstarter campaign that will launch on June 2nd, 2026. The publisher has described Lethal Wedding as “Zombies Ate My Neighbors meets Die Hard”, and it’s easy to see why from the trailer. We put an early build through its paces and posted a short preview back in 2024.
In a press statement, Mega Cat Studios said. “Inspired by classic 16-bit shooters like Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Lethal Wedding’s story kicks off after a drug ring composed of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps an unlucky groom the day before the big day. Now, it’s up to the bride-to-be and her mother-in-law to rescue him from more psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters than you can cram into a clown car.”
“We here at Mega Cat are thrilled to finally bring Lethal Wedding to Kickstarter!” said Zack Manko, Creative Director at Mega Cat Studios. “This beauty is our love letter to action movies and top-down shooters from the 16-bit era, mixed with some modern sensibilities for replayability and progression. Grab a friend and say, ‘I do!’ to frenetic shooting and co-op carnage!”
