Sky Kid DX is this week’s Arcade Archives game on Switch

Hamster will release Arcade Archives Sky Kid Deluxe on Switch this week, the company has announced. A worldwide release is planned for March 2, 2023.

Sky Kid DX, which was made by Namco, launched in 1986 – just a year after the original game (in fact that one is on the eShop right now). It’s a shooter featuring new missions, new enemies, and more. Local co-op is also supported again.

As for the actual Arcade Archives series, here’s a bit of information on that front:

The Arcade Archives series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces. Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores. Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games.

And here’s a trailer for the game:

Sky Kid DX will be sold digitally via the eShop. Pricing is set at $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29.
