Reporting from 1 sources: 4Gamer.net.
Hamster will release Arcade Archives Space Cyclone on June 18 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PS4. The 1980 Taito shooter has players intercept insect cyborgs called Behm before they land and build enemy rockets. The Arcade Archives 2 version adds Time Attack Mode and VRR support.
Hamster announced on June 16 that Arcade Archives Space Cyclone will launch June 18 across multiple platforms. The game, originally released by Taito in 1980, tasks players with shooting down Behm-insect cyborgs that warp between meteors as they descend. If a Behm reaches the ground, it builds a rocket that fires Cyclone Cannons, making interception the core strategic demand.
The Arcade Archives 2 version for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S includes a new Time Attack Mode alongside the standard Original and High Score modes, and supports VRR for arcade-accurate refresh behavior. Owners of the Switch or PS4 version can upgrade to the respective next-gen version for 330 yen. A special broadcast on June 18 at 19:00 will feature Taito staff and comments from original developer Tomohiro Nishikado.
