Script error: The function "nihongo_foot" does not exist., also known as Sky Robo in North America, is a 1989 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Nichibutsu for arcades. It was first released in Japan in July 1989, later in the United States that same year.[1]
Hamster Corporation acquired the game's rights alongside Nichibutsu's catalogue, releasing the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in April 2025, as well as their Arcade Archives 2 series for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows in May 2026.[2][3][4]
Gameplay
The player controls a spaceship which navigates multiple levels and defeats enemies.[5] While the default spaceship uses typical horizontally scrolling shooter gameplay, it can be transformed into a robot which can shoot in all directions but is considerably less agile. Players must switch between both modes to navigate the levels and defeat a plethora of enemies. considerably Power-ups are available that improve the player's ammunition. Boss characters must be defeated at the end of each level to progress.[6]
