Hamster continues its odyssey to port practically every game that ever appeared on the humble Neo Geo with the news that the action adventure of The Super Spy will be bringing its license to kill to the Switch eShop next week (12th July).
First released in 1990, it was actually well ahead of its time mixing first-person shooter, beat-'em-up and RPG mechanics to make one of the console's most underrated games. It's one of those lost treasures we've been looking forward to on Switch for a while now.
While it's only currently slated for the Japanese eShop as of the time of writing (with a price tag of ¥823), we all know how this works by now, with a western date for both North America and Europe likely to follow shortly. Let us know if you'll be adding this one to your retro collection in the comments below...

That is quite the screen shot
Isn't it nice to see a heroine with dignity and class every once in a while?
I don't particularly care what her mother thinks, but I do wonder what her nana would make of this, and how many prayers it will take for her to ensure her granddaughter's salvation.
I always wanted to play this but looks a little repetitive. I’ll probably end up getting it regardless.
Bless them for all of the content and effort they’ve made supporting the Switch. Maybe Nintendo should utilize them for porting their older games? Virtual console anyone?
Not as good as Sly Spy
Ha ha, WTH, never heard of this one back in the day. Love when that happens, have to check it out.
Always wanted to check this out. Saw an old article about a few years ago.
That thumbnail is hilarious...
@gloom Nintendo already are using them for Donkey Kong etc..
I do hope that eventually they rerelease the Neo Geo version of Puzzle Bobble. I used to play it all the time at a pizza parlor near me. They removed all the arcade machines in there for more seating. That was positively lame.
Nice! The Hamster train keeps moving with a rare one here!!
This is an awesome release! I'm really excited for this one.
@chardir I did not know that, I like them even more now!
Baseball stars 2 during baseball season please.
Remember seeing screenshots of this back in the day and being blown away. Then I read a review that gave it something like 30%!
@shonenjump86 its very repetitive and pretty poor one worst neo geo releases.
@Anguspuss yikes, I was afraid of that.
What a headline.
Day one. Whenever that happens to be. Looks like a blast.
Still need to pick up AERO FIGHTERS 2 and SAMURAI SHOWDOWN 2. This is now on third on the list!
Lets release the Samurai Spirit V Special , please !
