RETRO GAME ROBOTECH: THE MACROSS SAGA HD EDITION SHOOTS ITS WAY ONTO NINTENDO SWITCH

Indie game developer Galaxy Pest Control today announced that it has launched Robotech: The Macross Saga HD Edition for the Nintendo Switch™. Based on the popular 1980’s Robotech anime SciFi series, the gameplay centers on piloting Veritech fighters against the evil Zentradi and closely follows the storyline of Season 1 – the first invasion. This retro single-player and local two-player co-op side-scrolling shoot’em-up is available this week on the Nintendo Switch store for $9.99 USD.

Robotech: The Macross Saga HD Edition is a remaster of the 2002 Nintendo Game Boy Advance title, which was developed by Lucky Chicken Games and published by TDK Mediactive. The HD remaster shines with all-new 3D models, dynamic lighting, enhanced effects, and high-resolution backgrounds – every asset has been refined. The game’s audio is sweetened with the original soundtrack from the TV series. Several members of the GPC Games team worked on the original GBA game, ensuring that all the fast-paced side-scrolling and isometric missions, multiple battle modes, and your favorite Macross Saga characters like Rick Hunter and Roy Fokker are restored.
