<p>HAMSTER has once again broken up its prolific Neo Geo fighting game streak with some <em>shmup</em> action next week as <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/neogeo/ghost_pilots">Ghost Pilots</a></strong> soars down onto the eShop on April 26th.</p>
<p>This 1991 vertical scrolling shooter was very much a case of SNK going “<em>Look, we can do it too!</em>” at Capcom’s <strong>194X</strong> series and served as a truly effective hardware showcase for the platform. </p>
<p>The distinguishing ‘hook’ for this one is that you actually get to fly bulky seaplanes instead of the more common WW2 fighters. They still shoot and drop screen-clearing bombs like the others, though.</p>

<p><em>To fly these seaplanes will cost you $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29. Will you be adding another classic shmup to your digital arcade library next week?<br /></em></p>
