Johnny Turbo's Arcade: Night Slashers on the way to Switch

by rawmeatcowboy

GN Version 5.0

In Night Slashers, one, two or three players/characters move from left to right through each level (most of which are split into three or more scenes), fighting with the enemy characters who appear, until they reach a confrontation with a stronger boss character at the end of the level. Once that boss is beaten, the players automatically move on to the next stage. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen and from out of doorways or entrances set into the background, and the player(s) must defeat all of them to progress. If the players try to simply travel through the levels without fighting, the screen will stop scrolling until all current enemies have been defeated, before allowing the players to continue progress. Enemies may move outside the confines of the screen, but players may not. There is a time limit to each stage.

I've never heard of Night Slashers, but I'm always down for a beat'em-up! This one actually got censored when it originally came over, giving arcade owners the option to change the blood from red to green. I'm guessing this Switch version is going to go with the original red option.

No word on when Night Slashers will release, but we'll keep you posted!
