The cult NES classic is back! Save Earth from an alien invasion as the ghost of a samurai! Released for the NES in 1991, it was clear that it was going to be something special, but no one could have imagined that it would develop into such a cult classic in the years to come. Zombie Nation flew under the radar of many at the time, but its crazy story and solid gameplay have amassed a devoted fan base over the years. As the disembodied samurai head Namakubi, or Tengu in the Japanese version, you set out to save the world from the alien ruler Darc Seed, who has turned humanity into mindless zombies. Along the way, you'll encounter a series of bizarre stages and enemies, complete with (in)famous boss battles. This new version for Nintendo Switch includes new additions such as quality of life features like rewind and quick save, rapid fire and new HUD elements, as is common with re-releases of classic games. You can also choose between the Western version "Zombie Nation" and the Japanese version "Abarenbou Tengu" with two new modes per version. In addition, there are new achievements and galleries to unlock. All of this makes this the ultimate version of the beloved classic, now available on a modern console!
