Owners of the Switch or PS4 release can buy the Switch 2 or PS5 edition at 330 yen, tax included. The game is a shooting title Seta released in 1987. The player rides a machine gun-equipped bike toward an enemy base fortress. Destroying structures such as towers makes sidecars with cannons appear as power-ups. Sidecar types differ, including ones with longer bullet range and ones that fire only horizontally. The Arcade Archives release includes difficulty and screen settings, rewind, rapid fire, and multiple save slots. Arcade Archives 2 adds Time Attack Mode and supports VRR. A livestream, the "Tokushu Butai U.A.G. Special," is scheduled from 19:00 on release day.
The owner's discount does not apply to every platform. Players who bought the Switch or PS4 release can get the Switch 2 or PS5 edition for 330 yen, but the Xbox Series X|S version is not eligible.
The port keeps the arcade original's two-player support. Both the Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 releases list 1-2 players.
Arcade Archives 2 carries over the modes from the first line and adds one. Original Mode, Hi Score Mode, and Caravan Mode return, alongside a Time Attack Mode where players compete on clear time regardless of score. VRR support lets the emulation match arcade behavior more closely than before.
Seta's 1987 game sends a special forces member along a route patrolled by tanks and fighter jets, which the player destroys on the way to the enemy base fortress. Sidecar power-ups appear when towers and other structures fall.
The release day stream runs on Hamster's YouTube channel, where the official program "Arcade Archiver" airs at 7:00 p.m. on each Arcade Archives release date. The October 15 episode is the "Special Forces U.A.G. Special."
