About

Goal: Destroy all enemies. Harrier is in a constant state of motion as he traverses the Fantasy Zone. Can he eliminate all evil, supernatural beasts in order to save Dragon Land? Use your jet laser cannon to shoot while dodging obstacles. Can you beat all stages and reach the end? Play Sega Ages Space Harrier today! The Switch Port is based on the arcade release with options for arcade style side panels on screen, a CRT display. There is also an option to use the Joy-con like an arcade joystick, holding it vertically and tilting it for movement. It includes the widescreen support and additional boss from the 3DS version of the game. It also adds a new game mode where a support character protects the player from damage with barriers, though they get disabled for a time if the support character is attacked.
