Ratalaika Games has brought back Aero the Acrobat for fans to enjoy. And despite its problems, it's not bad for a $6 adventure.
If you are looking to reminisce about the 16-bit generation but without any of the obvious big names of the time, Aero the Acrobat just barely fits the bill.
I'm happy that Sunsoft is making more effort towards gaming preservation, so I happily picked this up yesterday actually on the Switch bc it had a launch sale on top of already being cheap at 5.99 reg. Like the article says though, I do have a soft spot for the game bc I owned it back in the 90s. After playing it some last night, I had some fun which mostly bc of my nostalgia for it. I couldn't really recommend it for the younger generation though, unless you just have a dying curiosity about gaming history. Now, let's get some of Sunsoft's better titles, like a Batman collection! I loved NES Batman and Batman Return of the Joker.
Those may be a bit more of a stretch due to their licensing... but I agree. it would be nice to have those on more modern platforms. On a side not, Evercade has a couple of Sunsoft collections for their console/handheld. And because they try to remain a 1:1 to the originals... it feels pretty nostalgic playing them on there.
It's time to swing into action again as Aero the Acro-Bat launches on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
Coming to Consoles in August 2nd
