The downside is that it&#8217;s launching exclusively on Apple Arcade later this month, but we&#8217;ve seen a <em>lot<\/em> of games move from that platform over to Switch after a specific period;  there&#8217;s definitely hope.<\/p>\n<p>Called <strong>Air Twister<\/strong>, it looks likes a rather fun return to arcade-style gameplay in the trailer, with giant swans (or small people?) also coming into the game.  The music is by Valensia, a Dutch composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist;  according to this Wikipedia page they did an album called &#8216;Queen Tribute&#8217; in 2003. Listen to the music in the trailer and &#8230; yeah, you&#8217;ll get the reference.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some official details from the game&#8217;s website:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8211; Find something new every time you play the 12 beautiful, artfully crafted stages<br \/>&#8211; Over 20 different creatures of the Vanguard will thwart your way and 10 unique bosses await your challenge at the end of the worlds.<br \/>&#8211; \u200dCollect Stars to power up your Princess and unlock new game modes<br \/>&#8211; Simple touch controls make play fun and easy.  Or connect a gamepad for an arcade-like experience.<br \/>&#8211; Shoot for the top and compete in score and ranking categories with players all around the world!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yu Suzuki&#8217;s most recent project was the <strong>Shenmue 3<\/strong>, but this latest release is clearly a return to the style he cultivated in his incredible early years at SEGA.  In addition to directing and designing Space Harrier, other titles in Suzuki-san&#8217;s credits in the &#8217;80s and&#8217; 90s include <strong>Super Hang-On<\/strong>, <strong>Out Run<\/strong>, <strong>Virtua Racing<\/strong>, <strong>Daytona USA<\/strong>, <strong>After Burner<\/strong> and many more.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to see this make its way to Switch once its presumed Apple Arcade exclusivity period ends;  we&#8217;ll see how that plays out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"8afb432a9cc255b277c682bf-text\/javascript\">dgpConsent.can('targeting',function () { !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '2325732614399478'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); });<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Yu Suzuki is a lauded and respected figure in the game industry, and it&#8217;s emerged that &#8211; along with his team at Ys Net &#8211; he&#8217;s returning with an arcade-style game that looks very much like a spiritual successor to Space Harrier.
