Games Asylum: “Over the past few months prolific indie publisher Ratalaika has been re-releasing games in the 16-bit platformer series Aero The Acro-Bat, including spin-off Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel. We’ve duly arrived at the last entry in the franchise, and it’s something of a departure. Whereas the previous games were for Mega Drive and SNES, Aero The Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge was for GBA and released in 2002, handled not by Sunsoft and Iguana but rather Metro 3D and Atomic Planet. It’s based on the 1993 original but sees a slew of improvements, often referred to as a remake. This inexpensive (£5.99) re-release from conversion specialists Shinyuden features more improvements still, although calling it a remake of a remake may be off the mark.”
