When it comes to retro games essentially being ported over to the Switch they’re always a bit of a take it or leave it proposition. Some will make attempts to add some value but in the case of Space Harrier this is a pretty no-frills package relying primarily on people’s affinity for this very unusual and, I think, great arcade shooter. There is an added mode that feels like it loads up a small Pikachu on either side of you but unfortunately they really do very little to almost nothing aside from add protection in limited circumstances, hardly changing things up in any way. If you’re a fan of the arcade classic or want to broaden your retro shooter horizons this isn’t a bad pick-up but it’s likely only going to be something of interest to enthusiasts.
