Aero the Acro-Bat is sure to get your nostalgia gears a-spinnin’! Ratalaika Games just announced that the classic Super NES/Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game is heading to modern consoles on August 2! PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch owners will be able to experience the 30-year-old platform with new accessible ways to play the game!
About Aero the Acro-Bat
The original Aero the Acro-Bat was released in 1993 on the Super Nintendo and the Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and gamers will be able to enjoy and immerse themselves in the first of this Aero series which still looks and plays fantastically nearly 30 plus years since its first release, making Aero a special game not to be missed.
Aero to the Rescue
It’s up to Aero the Acro-Bat, the circus’s star performer, to rescue his friends and girlfriend Ariel, and put a stop to Edgar Ektor’s mad plans so everyone can enjoy the show again!
The powerful and eccentric industrialist Edgar Ektor has sworn to destroy the world of amusement as revenge for being banished from the circus when he was a kid after one of his pranks went too far and almost killed a circus animal. He started by invading a local circus with his gang of mad clowns and kidnapping all the circus staff to spoil the show.
A Challenge to become the best
Aero the Acro-Bat is NOT your typical platformer in which you just go from start to goal. The players will need to use Aero’s skills in specific ways in order to accomplish the objectives in each stage, and this sets the game aside from many platformers that came before or after. Aero also comes from an era in which games were famous for being challenging, and the Aero series in particular has always been known for its challenging difficulty. Those who can clear these games can really consider themselves platforming masters! But fear not, if it’s too much for you, this new version includes cheats to make things a bit easier!
Features Facts:
- Play through 4 areas with 5 stages each, including stages with rides
- Use Aero’s acrobatic skills to fulfil the objectives in each stage and open the gate to the next stage
- Face all kinds of wacky enemies
- Choose between the English and the Japanese versions
- Rewind/Turbo function: repeat something till you achieve perfection or speed things up
