Hamster’s Latest Retro Offering For Switch Is The Horizontal Shooter Magmax

Arcade Archives Magmax Switch Hero

This week’s Arcade Archives release is the 1985 horizontal shooter, Magmax, by Nichibutsu. Here’s a bit about this classic re-release, directly from Hamster’s PR:

The player can power up by combining with the parts falling on the stage in order to defeat the Strange Mechanism Babylon. With 4 different stages, aboveground and underground stages not only vary in their appearance, but offer different ways to attack!

The title will set you back $7.99 / £6.29 or your regional equivalent and is designed for 1-2 players. As usual, it aims to faithfully reproduce the arcade magic of yesteryear. There are also additional in-game settings you can adjust such as difficulty, and the ability to compete against high scores from all over the world.

Here are some direct screenshots:
