During a livestream today, Hamster Corporation announced that the next Namco title to come to the Arcade Archives lineup on Nintendo Switch & PS4 as part of its ongoing “Namco month” will be Super Xevious Gamp no Nazo on April 11th.
Super Xevious: Gamp no Nazo is not to be confused with the 1984 arcade game Super Xevious and is actually the VS. System port of the 1986 Famicom sequel to Xevious from 1987.
Super Xevious Gamp no Nazo has players getting behind the controls of the famous ship called the Solvalou to battle against a rogue supercomputer named Gamp who has taken over Earth and includes some noticeable tweaks from the original Xevious. These include new enemies being introduced along with a focus on puzzle-solving, which makes sense as (Gamp no Nazo roughly translates to “Gamp’s Riddle”. Each stage sees players needing to complete a mystery objective to progress, such as guiding the ship to a certain position on the screen.
