Arcade Archives Wiz is dropping tomorrow on a pile of platforms, bringing the 1985 Seibu Kaihatsu wizard shooter back with fresh tricks in the Arcade Archives 2 edition. Hamster's pumping out the $9.99 version for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC while the cheaper $7.99 cut hits PS4 and original Switch, complete with a $2.99 upgrade path for previous owners. Original 2020 ports already existed on some systems, so this is mostly a modern polish job with Time Attack Mode added on top of the usual score chases and caravan runs.

Time Attack Mode flips the script to pure speedruns instead of point grinding, and VRR support is there to keep things buttery like the old cab. The game itself has you blasting through depths-to-sky realms with eight magic types against monsters, ending in a dragon showdown—classic arcade loop with online rankings for the global leaderboard grind. X is already buzzing with early leaks and trailer shares, mostly from retro fans hyped on the Seibu Kaihatsu deep cut and its Raiden mascot connections.

Hamster keeps the faithful reproduction vibe with rewind, rapid fire, and save slots, so even the old heads can tweak it without breaking the 1985 sauce. This one slots right into their 2026 Xbox surge, where they've already dropped dozens of these re-releases this year alone.
