Yu Suzuki, the iconic video game veteran behind classics like OutRun and Shenmue, will return to PS5 and PS4 next month with the console version of his ex-Apple Arcade exclusive Air Twister. This is, in effect, a modern reimagining of Space Harrier – and it’s got an oddball, 90s aesthetic to match. The game will be available digitally on the PS Store, but collectors will also be able to grab a boxed copy on PS5.
New to this version are a bunch of minigames, including an obligatory Boss Rush mode, as well as a trigger-happy mathematics option where you need to break numbered boxes in order. You’ll unlock these modes by collecting stars from daily and weekly events – well, this is a former mobile title, after all.

We never played the original release, and to be brutally honest, we’re not overly fond of the art style at all. But this is a new Yu Suzuki title, so you can bet we’ll be giving it a fair shake. Hopefully it’s a big success and helps Ys Net raise enough funds to continue the Shenmue series. The game’s due out on 10th November.

Looking forward to this, infact anything arcade like i'll take it and i hope he does an outrun style racer too 👍
Dude I love my rail shooters man so I'll definitely try this out. An extinct genre, but I really wish we could see more. Sin and Punishment, House of the dead on the wii were the days man I'm telling you 😭
They also have Rainbow Cotton coming out. A remaster of the Dreamcast where they fixed the controls etc. I got this on pre-order (physical).
I still need to get around to playing my kickstarter copy of shenmue 3 hahaha and I'm a huge shenmue fan.
I may give this a go. Just to pay my respect for the games he made and buy the game to show support. Give me shenmue 4.
Space Harrier...many a 50p of my summer holiday pocket money went into the one at Weymouth pier arcade when I was about 10.... happy days.
I liked Space Harrier, I’ll give this a shot.
