ININ Games has announced that they will be releasing the console version of the 2D action game “Spica Adventure” (original title: スピカアドベンチャー) developed by Taito in spring 2024 in overseas markets. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, and Switch, and a physical edition will also be released. Pre-orders will start on November 14th. Although Xbox is mentioned as a compatible platform, details about the specific consoles have not been confirmed.
“Spica Adventure” is a 2D action game that was originally released by Taito in 2001 for feature phones and later ported to the TAITO Type X platform in 2005. The game follows the story of a girl named ”Nico” who embarks on an adventure in space, using a versatile parasol to navigate through a fancy world.
The game has received high praise for its simple controls that allow players to perform a variety of actions and its adorable artwork. However, due to the limited number of arcades that introduced the game, it has become a rare title.
While it is uncertain whether the game will be released in Japan, ININ Games has previously ported rare games like “Cannon Dancer” and released them domestically. There is a possibility that “Spica Adventure” may also become available for purchase in Japan. Those interested in the game’s progress can follow ININ Games’ social media accounts for updates.
