Script error: The function "nihongo_foot" does not exist. is a 1993 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed by Athena and published by Sammy Corporation for arcades. It was released in North America in May 1993 and Japan in June 1993.[1]
Hamster Corporation acquired the game's rights alongside Athena's catalogue, releasing the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in November 2023.[2][3]
Gameplay
The player controls a fighter jet which navigates levels and defeats enemies while dodging their bullets. While the Japanese version has a shooting and bomb button which allows the player to switch between ammunition and bombs by collecting power-ups, the American version unusually provides 6 buttons for each type of ammunition and bomb, while the power-ups merely grant points to the player; the player must strategically switch between attacks to defeat giant boss enemies at the end of each level.[4][5]
