“Feed me quarters.”
Oh, Space Harrier, how should I describe you? Should I compare thee to an endless runner? Thou art more lovely and insane. Rough controls do tire the limbs of any gamer, and this title’s fun supply is far too short. But the eternal summer of my nostalgia for this game shall never fade, nor will the death of the ‘80s cast shadows upon its uniqueness.
Available now for $29.99 on Steam.
Story, control, and gameplay ideas for a canceled game.
A few years ago, Cosmic Walker made a short blip on the Wii release radar. A brief video clip, three screen shots, a few details a few months later, and that's the last we heard about it. According to IGN, the game would've starred an astronaut who travels between space stations and the moon performing various tasks, and bore a resemblance to Endless Ocean -- and that's still all we know about it. Development was likely scrapped long ago, but why not try to imagine what it would play like on Wii U? A sandbox game in space would really rock it, man.
