80s isometric shooter Seicross gets modern release this week

Seicross

Publisher Hamster Corporation has announced the next Console Archives release is Seicross, the isometric shooter from Nichibutsu.

Console Archives Seicross is launching tonight/tomorrow on April 9th for both Switch 2 and PlayStation 5, worldwide.

It’s worth noting the arcade version of the game was previously ported to modern platforms by Hamster Corp. back in 2021 – this is a port of the Famicom / NES version.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Seicross was released by Nichibutsu in 1986 for an 8-bit home console.

In this shooting game, you pilot a hover bike to save the peaceful people of Petra, whose homeland has been invaded by a once-coexisting tribe that has turned to evil.

As you rescue the captive people of Petra from enemy territory, your bike’s weight increases, causing it to consume fuel energy much faster—but in return, you’ll earn massive bonuses upon clearing the stage!

Hamster Corporation’s Console Archives series of re-releases faithfully reproduces classic console games for modern platforms.
